C8 latest, 64 bit
Load C8, open 1st project - OK
Close project. Select “Open” from file menu, immediate C8 crash. Every time.
Anyone else getting this?
yeah… i have to close the program before opening a new project of the program will crash
i’m using elements 8 on OS X 10.10.4
I can’t find any workaround for this. Most of my projects are based on projects from older versions of Cubase, and I thought that might be a cause, but it happens with a brand new C8 template, with no audio and just some Waves and UAD plugs loaded.
This is making it impractical for me to start using C8 64bit - I was actually quite happy with C8 32 bit but since going to Yosemite I have the black windows when I close a plug-in (see other thread here)
After many months of sticking with the old OS, I thought it would be safe to upgrade. WRONG.
Too many problems with Cubase on Mac at the moment.
Make sure you’ve updated your e-licenser to the latest version.
Go check - elicenser.net
Thank you so much! I don’t know why I didn’t to update the e-licenser - I usually do. Perhaps the install should generate a message to remind us to update?
This does seem to have largely fixed the problem, I opened and closed a number of different projects, I did get one crash but nothing like as bad as before. looks like it will be finally possible to use the 64 bit version!
Spoke too soon.
Been overdubbing a range of songs with a client today and C8 64bit crashes EVERY time I try to open the next project.
Dismal.
Update in case it helps anyone else: it’s caused by an older Waves Waveshell, I have 9.2.80.2 Build 15901 from 2013.
I don’t doubt that this will have been fixed in a more recent Waveshell, but of course to get it I have to pay the invidious WUP fee of $300.
I really think this may be the end of the road for Waves for me, after investing £££££ over the last 20 years. I still like their plug-ins, but WUP is just too much of a rip-off.
/rant mode off
Credit where credit’s due.
In the past Waves support didn’t exist unless you were fully paid up on WUP.
Well, I raised a support request and got a response, with a link to the latest Waves version, even though my WUP expired in January.
Thank you, Waves support.
Seems to have fixed the crashing on open problem.
