Cubase 11 Crashing

Cubase is crashing to the desktop unpredictably. I believe it has something to do with my graphics card. AMD Radeon RX 6800

I’ve already tried removing the drivers using DDU and reinstalling. This happened in Cubase 10.5 and Cubase 11.

The issue happened with ATIDXX64.dll

I think it’s something with 4K possibly scaling/anti aliasing

is your problem fixed? I am planning to buy RX6800

Hi,

There are other threads about this issue here on the forum. It seems, the solution is downgrade the graphic card driver.

Martin, thanks for the response. If you’re referring to using the “Basic Windows Display Driver”, that’s really not an acceptable solution. Among other issues, it does not support multiple HDMI monitors (such as a TV mounted in a recording studio).

Does Steinberg have any plans to fix this? I’ve updated Cubase and AMD drivers and still getting this crash.

Been a loyal Cubase user since version 2. This issue has crippled my recording studio business since January.

I have the same issue though with an Asus AMD Radeon 6500XT that I got this week. The auto power off/crash/blue screen occurs when closing Cubase 11.
Has anyone managed to find a fix or old drivers to fix this?

Hi,

The blue screen is mostly hardware related nowadays.

Please make sure, you have the latest drivers installed.
