Cubase 12 Pro still crashing on exit

Yes and if you got a deadline it makes you nervous. Some will say you can go back to 11. Sure, I can even go back to 7 but that’s not ideal.

Same here, it’s not that I am blaiming the 12 update or something, it’s more of a discussion of how things will get better for the end user.

12.0.30 any time soon? :smile:

The first was concluded that is a non supported OS-cubase version missmatch.
Some other was related to Slate. Slate does not pass the VST-SDK test tool.
You only need to point out one specific to show your point, not list up a lot of crashes I dont intend do check all of them.

I’ll write it again: everything has the latest version installed!!!

Hi,

I tried what Procdump generates, the result from ten starts:

6 x C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase 12\Components\mediaservice.dll

1 x C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase 12\VST3\VST Connect.vst3
2 x win32u.dll   

1 x mswsock.dll

The MediaService always crashes in the same place, which is easy to fix (this is not a random error).
I am very curious when Steinberg will fix it.

Just choose any of those, if you say Slate plugins don’t count. How about you begin with Cubase crashing on exit?

Hi There,

What I found is that the update 12.020 changed something. Up until then I had no trouble. I hope that Steinburg will have fixed this issue with the next update. Of course, I’m not worried for myself, now.

At least one confirmed exit crash is confirmed to internal within cubase and occurs without any plugins at all.

Actually there are users which don’t have the problem whithout plugins, and others have it more frequently the more plugins are loaded into a project. Others have it only when certain plugins are loaded into the project and others don’t have it at all. And now?
I gave you a list of multiple threads, which all are related to issues with plugins which are NOT related to their GUI, not just this here. You said, just give me one. Well there are lots, everyday. Now if you are too lazy to look through them, thats not my problem. But then stop acting like the issues were not real.

I don’t have the time to continue this useless conversation with you, like on the sandboxing thread, where you clearly ignored what others were saying and tried to derail a FR, just because you don’t think its a thing. Lets stop here with this nonsense. If you think crashes of plugins are 99,9% related to their GUI, than thats good for you. Keep on closing your eyes and thinking that :ok_hand:

It is unavoidable crash/hang in 12.0.20. Cubase 12.0.20 performance issues - #119 by Tony_ST
But it is for sure not the last. So you dont have a single crash to support your ideas?

Yes the list of threads I repeatedly showed you already.
How about you prove, that 99,9% of crashes are caused by the GUI, like you said?
Curious to see that one. :man_facepalming:

The problem is that many of us won’t continue believing in the same. If C11 is good enough, why we need C12, C13 and all future versions? For me the C11 is the sky. New features are not necessary. For last two-three years the vector of Steinberg is to gain popularity of mainstream genres and this is about two-three genres, not the serious values for which we had good 9.5 and 10.5 versions.
IMHO, of course :slight_smile:

Were you able to take a look at the crash files that I posted 21 days ago on May 14th? Seems that you respond to each person who posts the files, but I have not heard anything. I am now at the point where Cubase just continues to crash and it has become completely unusable. Is there ANY fixes coming for the constant freezing and crashes that occur on v12?

I’m new to this and seen many threads about this subject. I upgraded to 12.0.20. I then had the problems of crashing, so I sent the computer off for an upgrade to 32 Gb RAM and an SSD drive. It then worked excellently. However, I once accidentally opened Cubase 11 instead of 12 and since then Cubase 12 freezes on exit (project closes OK) and sometimes when starting. I have tried all the suggestions in the various forums. and uninstalled all previous Cubase versions and reinstalled Cubase 12. I have removed all the old versions preference files too. Here are two of the recent dump files. (I have excluded those ending’-freezedump’ as these are 0kb.
Cubase 12.0.20.263 64bit 2022.6.7 14.05.47.781.dmp (613.4 KB)
Cubase 12.0.20.263 64bit 2022.6.6 18.37.03.062.dmp (775.8 KB)

Both of those show the crash is related to Intel Graphics

You can test the new version 12.0.30, my short test experience: it doesn’t freeze anymore, although it does crash on loading (but this happens with version 11 too).

Thanks Steinberg

With my usual vsts, no crashes on exit or startup so far, and no freezes.
This update 12.0.30 seems to be working fine, fingers crossed!
Thank you @steinberg

Hi there, just got this with 12.0.30:
Cubase 12.0.30.286 64bit 2022.6.11 12.17.00.360.dmp (1.1 MB)

I tried to open seventh heaven pro and cubase quit

This is the same dump as in the new topic I started here

Thank you so much Arthur Neeman for you workaround:
“Close project without closing Cubase, then open new empty project, close it and then close Cubase. It will quit without crash.”
My current projects are loaded with VST’s etc, so it’s hard to narrow it down to one in particular, but Cubase 12 now always hangs on quit, never did so with Cubase 11. New projects without plugins are ok; Cubase will close.

I agree Lucy63. It works. Just sent a crash report to Steinberg bout CB12. I think CB12 has a major problem internally Like type conversion mismatch or pointers overwriting memory etc. , that causers all this issues.
But all these workarounds take too much time, sadly. Since cubase 12 release I now do my recording in CB11 pro and all my work that relates to anything live in Ableton live 11 suite with I bought to survive.
Maybe we Cubase 12 pro buyers here should vote or create a name list to emphasize our demands.
My vote would go to:

  1. Cubase 11 pro whithout dongle for now.
    2 Steinberg makes a release of Cubase 12 pro for Mac and Windows that is not only for super hackers.

Actually that was described on my first post:
