Cubase Projects Fail to Load

I saved a project and can access some of the old backup files, but when I go to load the latest project Cubase Stops responding. The project was working fine when I saved it, but does not load when I go to reopen it.

I have attached a screenshot of the issue. I am working with Cubase 8.0.35. This seems to happen after I load a few instances of Exhale by Output. Not sure if there is a relationship between that Kontakt patch and Cubase loading, but that seems to be when the issue begins.

Output (Exhale Developer) has resolved the issue with V1.1 of Exhale.
