Hi there. The musiclab support couldnt help me. Every time I want to load the realeight vst, cubase crashes. With every version I have tested. Cubase 8.5, 12 and 13.
Now I found out that I only can start the program standalone as the 32bit version. The 64bit version doesn’t work as standalone.
I can’t help on a solution because I’m not having the problem. But, just for whatever it’s worth, I just tried a quick test loading RealEight 6.1.2.7554 (64-bit VST3) in Cubase Pro 13.0.41 on Windows 10 with no issue. It was just the basic RealEight instance, not the 4 mono or 4 stereo variations (I’ve never used those variations).
My main thoughts would be to make sure you’re running the latest version and that you’re using the 64-bit VST3 version (I don’t recall if they still have VST2 versions, but there is no reason to use those in modern Cubase), and, if you haven’t already done it, try fully removing and fully reinstalling the latest version, just in case there is something corrupted in your installation (e.g. due to disk issues – I have seen some past plugin loading issues when I had a failing system disk that corrupted some files).
I haven’t actually used RealEight very much, but I have used other members of the Real guitars family a fair amount over the years (most recently RealLPC in the current version of Cubase).

Hi and thx.
I did it all before, but it didn’t work.
But now the musiclab support wrote me to uninstall “Guitarix”. I didnt even know it was installed. But now it works fine. 
Hi,
Could you please attach a *.dmp/ips file?
Interesting. The Guitarix part (that is what is underlying their relatively new amp simulation stuff) works fine on my system in Cubase 13, though I don’t think I’ve tried it with RealEight (I definitely have tried it with at least RealLPC, and possibly RealStrat). I’m wondering, if you happen to be on a Mac, if there may be some Mac-specific issue there, for example if that component either requires or doesn’t work with Rosetta mode or some such thing. (If I remember correctly, using VST2 plugins on Apple silicon in Cubase requires Rosetta mode, but I may be remembering incorrectly.)
