Cubase 8.5 Mac OS Catalina startup issues

Hey!

I just updated my mac with Catalina and can´t seem to open cubase 8.5. I have deleted all 32-bit apps and I believe everything should be correct. It starts initializing but shuts down about halfway through the startup process, has anyone in here encountered this problem recently?

Here is some of the info that pops up in the fail message after shutdown:

Solved it, just had to learn how to read the crash report and delete the problem wich in this case was a rouge waves propellerhead rewire plugin.
