Dear old Kernel32 again

I have looked in this forum, and i have been having problems with Nektar LX 88 causing Cubase to crash, but trying stuff that Nektar told me to do, it was seeming to have cured it.

I spoke too soon, as i had a ‘Serious problem’ again, but this time, instead of mentioning Nektar, the cause was Kernel32.dll.
I will attache the dmp file, and if someone could kindly look at it an tell me why, I would be most grateful, thanks
Cubase 14.0.20 64bit2025.3.29 10.35.55.631.dmp (2.3 MB)

You can’t say what was the real cause, since the kernelbase.dll is a library that can be used by many processes.
Try disabling VST2 plugins.

Would be interesting to hear what Nektar told you to do, because to met looks very much related to the LX88 library:

To me it looks like something ImpactLX88+SteinbergDAWControl64.dll calls something from the C** runtime, but that raises an out of bounds exception (e.g. nonexisting key in map or vector). That would be a problem of in the Nektar dll.

Thanks for replies.

Steinberg does not update me when someone posts although it’s ticked
ST10SS - i will certainly remove any, as i prefer vst 3’s so maybe time to remove all others.

Fese - thank you for looking at the file and i will copy and paste that in my support thread at Nektar.

They do not know about the kernel 32 problem yet, as i sent it today and i think thay may be away for the weekend, which i don’t mind, as the same support agent keeps with my problem.

At the moment, i checked the computer memory, restarted it, as it seems kernel32 problems can be sorted by that sometimes

At the moment, I have had the LX and cubase on all day and not one problem, so I hope this is sorted, but i will definitely remove vst2’s and copy that error code to Nektar.

Thank you both

You can simply deactivate VST2 support and see what’s happening.
Maybe you still rely on some of them.
