Cubase 13 large project file keeps crashing... I'm at a loss

Cubase

Hi guys/gals,

I’m a big fan of Cubase ever since SX3 but for the first time I can say I can’t get it to work anymore.

Cubase 13 has always been ridden with crashes for me but it’s mostly workable, but one certain project file (quite a large project that I almost finished mixing) I can’t work even 1 minute without it crashing. I’m kind of desperatie because I’ve been trying everything I can.

It usually freezes when I open Slate VMR plugin, but it can also be when I open Ozone Maximizer or sometimes even Fabfilter Pro-Q3. It doesn’t make any sense. A lot of times just for the freeze the GUI of the problematic plugin turns completely white so there seems to be something graphic glitch going on too…

I use a lot of plugins but almost every track is frozen, so plugins/cpu isn’t much. I’ve updated plugins, Ilok Drivers, Nvidia Drivers (and looked at the settings) but nothing works.

Can you please help me?

Hello!

Did you try initializing preferences? This is very important especially if you updated from previous versions on Cubase. Can cause a lot of weird issues.

Check out the “Initializing preferences” section here https://helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/206618850-Troubleshooting-for-Cubase-and-Nuendo-on-Windows#preferences

Also in VMR make sure you have installed only those modules you have a license for (if you have perpetual licenses and not a subscription)
