Cubase shuts down after project close

I used to be able to have 2 open projects at the same time(one active ,other one not), and then close one to be left with only one.
This was always possible in Cubase.
But apparently not anymore as Cubase 13 just shuts off completely when i close one of two opened projects.
Bug or a feature?

Hi,

It’s a crash. Please attach the *.ips/dmp file to be able to see, where does it crash.

Problem is there is no dump file when this occurs…

Hi,

Generate a DMP file and share it via Dropbox or a similar service, please.

Use the Microsoft ProcDump utility to generate a DMP file, please.

  1. Please download ProcDump64 from Microsoft (~650kB) and extract the archive to a local folder on your hard disk.

  2. Run Command Prompt (cmd) as administrator (right click and select “run as administrator”)

  3. Navigate (in the Command Prompt) to the folder with the extracted procdump file.
    For example:
    cd C:\ Users \ \ Downloads \ Procdump
    Note: the dmp file will be written into that folder.

  4. Launch Cubase/Nuendo. You can work as usual. At any time, change to the command prompt and start procdump, to monitor Cubase/Nuendo for unexpected behaviour (see next step).

  5. Launch procdump64 via Command Prompt:
    Cubase 13:
    procdump64 -e -h -t Cubase13

Nuendo 13:
procdump64 -e -h -t Nuendo13

The -h option will write a dmp file in case of an application hang. This might kick in too early sometimes, in case some action takes a little longer. Feel free to skip the “-h” option, if you are only up for fetching crashes.
The option -e will catch exceptions and the option -t terminations of the application.

  1. Prodump is now monitoring the Cubase/Nuendo process and will write a crash log, in case Cubase/Nuendo crashes or hangs. Perform the action that causes Cubase/Nuendo to crash and send us the generated crash dmp.

ZIP and share the DMP file via Dropbox or a similar service, please.

Thank you for your help, but that is just too complicated for me…i am not really computer savvy…

Update. I went with “unload every plugin from project until it doesn’t crash anymore” technique, and found a culprit. It was a Splice bridge plugin crashing Cubase on project close.
