Cubase keeps crashing during playback

Hello.

My Cubase keeps crashing during playback (shuts down no Error code or anything) when I:
a) import a file
b) duplicate a track

I tried to isolate which plugins maybe is the problem but couldn’t really figure it out and I don’t think that this is the problem since it also happens when I bypass all insert effects. This project is quiet big and when I create a new one and import, copy etc. like crazy Cubase stays up, but with this project I can hardly do two edits before it crashes again. I have to work with big projects professionally and can’t spare the time to reload the project every other minute.

My setup:
Windows 10 - Intel Core i7 8700 (3.20 GHz)
64 Bit
16 GB Ram
Cubase 10.0.50 Build 301

Project 48000 kHz
32bit float

Used plugins:
Fab Filter 3.0
Waves VEQ 4
Waves LL3 Multiband
Waves H-Comp
Waves Z-noise
RX-DeEsser
and built in Plugins like Studio EQ etc. by Cubase

I use Voicemeeter but I made sure that all Virtual Asios match the projects samplerate etc. and I switched to the generic low latency driver as well and when I start duplicating more tracks during playback, it happens again. Funny thing is that I can work just fine on my far inferior Laptop Win 8.1, 8 GB Ram etc.) with the same project AND Voicemeeter, so basically the same but far weaker setup.

Attached you can find the last three crash files (only from today, I think from this project but also from another one that keeps crashing)

I hope someone can help me out here.

Hi,

Please update to the latest Cubase 10.0.60. Also make sure your plug-ins are up to date and iLok/PACE software/driver is up to date, if your Waves are protected by using iLok.

If it’s still crashing, upload the latest (C10.0.60) duo files, please.

Hi.
Thanks for the reply. I installed the update and checked the plugins. Unfortunately the error persists. Now Cubase even crashes WITHOUT playing anything and with ALL INSERTS bypassed as soon as I import a file… :confused: The new dmp file is attached.

Hi,

Reported to Steinberg CAN-29982.

Could you try in Cubase Safe Start Mode [Disable preferences], please?

Thanks,
I also reported the problem to the support. I will try the Safe Mode as well and keep you posted.

Thanks for your help so far! :slight_smile:
