Cubase 14 pro freeze and crash

Thanks I have. This is not it.
I don’t have any dropouts.

Thanks for trying to solve this! :slight_smile:

I’ll try swapping sound cards and see…
Update - no difference in trying other soundcards. So, it’s not that

It’s NOT about dropouts though , i thought you were getting the windows midi freeze.

this solved it for me.

yes, I know, I did try it. Just saying it didn’t work.
Cheers!

Cubase 14 pro is crashing here also. It’s unpredictable, very frustrating. I’ve send the logfiles so hopefully it’s fixed soon. Sometimes cubase partially freezes. Never had this in cubase 13. I use a lot of virtual instruments with kontakt. Windows 11 on intel. New system and no overclocking.

I must tell you my crashes are back too. For original entry pls refer to Cubase freezes if started after a complete windows shutdown

I was so happy when I send the “OK” Info to you (Nov 27). I couldn´t tell you since when the situation became so bad again. However I did´t want to bother the board with this situation which I can´t describe precisely. As you said it is unpredictable when and how it happens.

However I kept sending many dumps to Steinberg with the function which is offered in “safe mode” after restarting. Now we have the patchversion 14.0.10. Nothing improved. So I decided to send an official report to be able to track progress. I send the report 2 days ago and already the day after I received a nice mail from support. They requested more details which I partly send (I didn´t get the requested “MiniDump” from Windows).

By now I have the feeling there must be a common rootcause though the appearance is different a the time. Those are the bugs you can hardly catch with a single trace / dump to find a fix after finding out what is wrong. I fully understand if support needs more dumps (even if they differ in detail). The whole thing might take a long time to be settled.
I will only buy the unlimited version, if I am sure this situation is fixed. However my trial period of C14 ends 6th of January. After that I can not support with dumps any more. Maybe it will be reproducable with my official C13 (which I neglected completely before I decided to dig more into Cubase as a new hobby). Another reason why I didn´t test that yet on my new computer.
Let´s see what the experts find.

If you are interested in details about my PC see my original post

I am using C14 Elements. As I am only a learner I just mess around with (stripped down versions of) the Steinberg Demo Programs “Life forever” and “Lucky”.
To learn more about routing and general use of tracks I am using my own mini testproject.

Nothing complicated. With all the crashes and experimenting how to report or get around them I didn´t even get arround yet to use sound effects or so. So the system can definitly not be overloaded or be influenced by strange VSTs.

This mornings crash was that - while I was looping the mini program - I opened the mediabay and listened to some audio tracks. When I wanted to leave the media bay with the “x” on the top right of the media bay the display froze. While I am writing this I did the same test. Everything is fine???..

I keep you updated when I hear from Steinberg.
