My copy of Cubase 14 crashes without a particular pattern or plugin.
Win 10 64b Alienware 17 R5 Intel i9 8950 16GB RAM GeForce 1070 Focusrite 8i6 1st gen
It does not always produce a dump file, but the latest one is attached for support.
Sometimes it all works and closes correctly but yet still opens the Safe Mode window on launch.
I would really love safety, performance and workflow improvements way way way before any new plugins.
Thanks
The crash occurred in the plugin SampleTank, not in Cubase. Maybe there is an update available for this plugin?
Cubase itself is on version 14.0.10, while you are using 14.0.5.
Thanks Johnny for mentioning the update, I had missed out, now updating.
Sampletank is up to date and the crashes occur even when it is not in the projects, so I am puzzled.
Still usable though, and I love Cubase, I use it about every day
I updated, reopened, then just had another brutal crash, total shutdown, no dump file written do disk.
Was on another project, had just opened BIAS FX2, which had a modulator FX connected to it to modulate the wah. Wiped C14 out
C14 does not officially support VST2s anymore and BIAS FX2 actually is a VST2.
Have you already checked the tiny VST2 box in the (Studio>) VST Plugin Manager? You will find it at the very bottom.
There are other reports about BIAS causing crashes as it does not support the VST3 standard. However, maybe it works just fine with the VST2 box checked.
Hi, I have that box checked and other VST2 plugins work fine.
BTW I think BIAS FX2 is VST3, that’s the plugin extension and it says so on the website too.
But it could be that it has graphical issues. Or that the modulator (env follower modulating the wah) causes a glitch somewhere.
Which version of BIAS FX 2 do you have? It seems VST3 is not available in the Standard version according to Thomann. Anyways, you already said you saw the VST3 extension. Where do you see the VST3, folderwise?
However, it might as well be something else as you said.
I run the latest version 2.7.0.6600 (over a year old …)
The file is called BIAS FX 2_x64.vst3, in the regular Common Files VST3 folder.
The PG website says VST3 as well.
I will have to test if any projects that do not have BIAS crash or not … Not sure yet.
Very sorry to read that you have so many problems. Please do test what causes the crashes if you can and send us all dumps or maybe even projectfiles that crash your C14, if you get any.
Hi Alex, I got a repeatable crash on this fairly simple project, when I open BIAS FX2 GUI, it goes through its internal loading screen then wipes out Cubase with no dump file created.
But as I mentioned those wipe out crashes happened when I manipulated Sampletank for example. So not sure BIAS FX2 is the issue. It could also be either some graphical problem with the card, or some weird USB power thing who knows with Windows … .
I’d love a resolve as I work on C14 daily and I love it otherwise ! Thanks !
