Cubase hates me - project files explode!

After the update to 14.0.30 solved a big issue with creating huuuuge control room preset files, suddenly my project files increase to more than 2 GB. I get a warning message when I save my projects. That never happened before in my plus 30 year relationship with Cubase.
I’m talking about tiny projects with 15 audio tracks and one Addicitive Drum track.
Please help!
Thank you in advance
Peter

I think SB are aware and investigating. Doesn’t seem to affect most people but a few have had this.
You should probably roll back and await a fix.

EDIT…this hopefully takes you to the post and if you click on the replies you’ll see the Steinberg response…you might want to send Dirk a sample project along as well.

If you need a quick way way of moving on with your project in 14.0.30, use this:


Make Direct Offline Processing Permanent

Otherwise roll back to 14.0.20 until a fix arrives.

Hi Grim, thanks for your reply. I’m already in contact with Dirk and sent him my project. He suggested what I could change in the project so that I could save it, but I’m in hurry so will await the fix.

Thanks, that’s what Dirk suggested well.

Well my reply was really supposed to be for PeterZ the thread starter, maybe things got confused by me quoting your post for their reference.

But good info for them that you’ve confirmed the suggested fix that Johhny posted.

Thank you Grim, Johnny and maarten! Rolling back is not really an option because that will bring up the other problem I had before upgrading. With the older version my control room preset file exploded.
Not all projects suffer from this bug, only some.
I will tray the fix that Johnny suggested for now.

Hi, as @Johnny_Moneto and @maartenl945 already wrote, making your dop permanent will avoid the projects to explode in size. In case you know more specifically, offline processes that originate from a version before DOP was introduced (Nuendo 7.1, Cubase 9.0 or older) and then haven’t been touched should be affected, so you just need to make these permanent. But I suppose that’s hard to know.

There’s a hotfix release on the way. With the hot fix release your project will load and save normal again and you won’t need to make the DOP permanent, of course.
Sorry for all the trouble.
Dirk
