I am pretty sure this isn’t a Cubase issue, because its the AMD driver that is causing the problems. This atio6axx.dll I am almost certain is an OPENGL issue, because I spoke with sonible about it, and if you disable it , the plugins work fine.
Does anyone know of a workaround for it ? I have rolled back AMD Drivers, used driver only installs , and NOTHING has fixed it. Anyone any solutions that work ?
Oh, we didn’t have this issue here in the forum for a while, but this driver is known for problems.
As far as I remember the driver is part of a package from AMD called “Adrenalin”. I guess you have this installed, in that case remove this software. It is mostly used for gaming systems, so Cubase doesn’t need this.
I’ve tried it with and without Adrenalin, and it still crashes to desktop.
BUT I think this is a Cubase issue, as the plugins using OpenGL work fine in FL Studio without the crash. So somehow it works fine there but not Cubase.
I spoke with Sonible about this, as their latest plugins have this issue, and if you disable openGL in the options in their plugins, the problem goes away. But Landr SynthX and The Usual Suspects plugins are crashing Cubase to desktop.
And btw, you should be able to use Adrenalin with Cubase, if you game as well as use Cubase, they shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.
If it crashes you probably have some crash dump files. Please upload one or two of them here.
In theory the whole software world should be working together, in reality there are unbelivable amounts of side effects that can cause all kinds of trouble. No one is able today to test all of this in all combinations.
atio6axx.dll is the reason it’s crashing. Safemode points to that everytime.
Sorry, in that case I can’t help. Good luck.
I would open this with Steinberg Support, but tbh I have lost all faith in their support actually giving a hoot about anyone’s issues with Cubase.
I opened a ticket over a month ago, for it to be ignored about something else.
Partially fixed it, AMD Drivers 25.10.2 driver only installation are stable , apart from the Landr SynthX which constantly crashes Cubase. The other ones are working .
OK fixed it further. Turns out (And this was my error) there was a BIOS Update I needed, which was causing instability with the newer drivers. I was looking at the wrong page on the gigabyte site. (Doh!) Anyway, with the BIOS update and the latest AMD Adrenalin drivers all the unstable plugins are working APART from Landr’s SynthX which is still broken but crashing with a bug report that synthx.vst3 is causing the crash, NOT atio6axx.dll so they need to step up now. The other plugins are loading and working fine.
