graphics2d.dll crashes

Hi,

Can you restore your system back to the point before Cubase 10.5 and Cubase 11 installation?

That’s a good point. I should have done that when I saw 10.5 was crashing too.

Anyway, currently trying things with Steinberg support, so we’ll see how it goes.

Still having problem with this one. Is the a new “version-upgrade” on the way soon?
Cubase 11.0.30.419 64bit 2021.8.22 17.42.48.940.dmp (548.4 KB)

Hi Fredrik,

I was having this problem recently too, and what I have done so far that seems to have fixed it is:

  • Reinstalled Cubase 11
  • Gave full permission rights to the graphics2d.dll file on my user account (I noticed admin account had full permission but not my standard Windows user account)
  • Created an exception for the file in Windows Defender (and worth doing in any antivirus you use)

So far after a week I haven’t had any issues.

Did all your sugestions simonslee .Still an issue for me though. graphics2d.dll is still a problem. Anyone else?

Same for me, it’s still happening, and mostly when editing MIDI. I remember having a MIDI editing issue years ago on earlier Cubase versions but this seems different.

I’ve ordered a new video card and will try that when it arrives, I don’t know what else to do, nothing works.

I really hope Cubase 12 fixes the problem.

How exactly were you able to give permission rights to the graphics2d dll file?

I’m definitely having this issue as well. Trying everything that is recommended.

I just right clicked on the file, go to ‘properties’, choose the ‘security’ tab, click ‘advanced’, and then in the ‘permissions’ you can see the difference between your current user (which might have read only access) and the admin account (which usually has full control). I set the file to have full control for the user account.

It didn’t make any difference for me in the end, but this is how I did it.

same issue here in 2022 using Nvidea GeForce 710 card, no studio driver but I’m using Nuendo not Cubase

Hi,

Please try this:

  • Download the latest Studio driver version from here. If there is no Studio driver for your graphic card, use the one, which is available and continue with the same steps bellow.
  • Disconnect the computer from Internet to make sure Windows will not download and install own graphic driver.
  • Uninstall the NVIDIA driver.
  • Restart computer.
  • Start the NVIDIA driver installation (as administrator).
  • Don’t install the whole package, use the Custom (Advanced) settings.
  • Disable everything (don’t install NVIDIA Experience, PhysX, etc.), keep just the video driver enabled.
  • Connect your computer to the internet.

C.11.0.41 and GeForce 720 card here - no crashes.
Latest drivers installed

Hi I did this, but I’m still getting the same issue
What’s happening now is that it seems the computer hangs for a second and everything freezes.
If I click with my mouse or try and execute a key command on the keyboard while it’s hanging or just a moment after it crashes and gives me this error.
this seems to only happen in Nuendo though so I don’t think it’s hardware related.

Hi,

Could you share a DMP file, please?

sure here’s the latest DMP file
Nuendo 11.0.41.448 64bit 2022.2.1 13.28.26.171.dmp (1.0 MB)

Hi,

Reported to Steinberg. Thank you.

I had the same crashes with AMD Ryzen 2400g with integrated graphics. And Cubase told me graphics2d and ucrtbase. But what really happend had nothing to do with it. It was a samplerate clock issue between Interface and ADAT-Device.

Since i found it, i never had graphics2d and ucrtbase again and no random crashes! This was over a year ago - no problems since then. Still same CPU / GPU / Hardware etc.

And how did you solve it?

Well, in my case it was simple, i had to change the samplerate on my focusrite adat device. But in your case it could be different and something else. All i wanted to say is: Don t trust these crash reports. My Problem had nothing to do with the grafics
