Hello all,
I have a problem when opening many (not all) older projects in Nuendo 14.
The opening of the project file gets interrupted, and I get the message: “A serious problem has occurred in the following file: C:\System32\KERNALBASE.dll”
“Nuendo 14.0.20 has become unstable.”
Nuendo then hangs, tries to unload channels, but becomes inoperable, so I need to manually close the programme with Control, Alt and Delete.
I have tried to attach a recent crash dump to this post, but all examples are too big too upload.
I have recently installed N14 on a new PC: Windows 11, Fast i7, 128GB of RAM, GeForce RTX 3060.
I did not have this problem when I worked on N13, on a Windows 10 machine and I really need to open older projects. on the new machine
I have tried the usual fixes:
• Restarting the machine, disabling Nuendo preferences
• Disabling ‘Controlled folder access’
• Disabling 3rd party plugins (it works but I depend on Kontakt and many other programmes, so this does not help). Preliminary thoughts that the problem is Kontakt 7 or IK Multimedia Sampletank 4.
• Reinstalling and updating N14, Sampletank and Kontakt
• Renaming project to exclude special characters
Still no joy. If anyone can shed any light on this issue, I would be very grateful.
This is actually a Windows error, so I would make sure your system is updated, and that you’ve ensured all your comment drivers are up-to-date as well, and that in Device Manager you don’t have any error indicators for any of the device components.
I’d then each of these to ensure there are no system image issues:
Hello, just an initial finding, the Nuendo projects open fine now that I have uninstalled the R4 Reverb plugin from Exponential (a fine reverb, but a real problem for me). Fingers crossed, everything seems to be much better now R4 is gone.
It makes me cautious about installing every discounted or free plugin as was my vice. Nothing beats a stable, reliable DAW.
FWIW, I’ve got a new rig arriving this week, and I’ve already mapped out what I need on it, and it will not be all these “free this” and “voucher that” plugins I’ve accumulated over the last couple of years since my last rebuild. It will be both a “workflow” and “mindset” challenge, but there’s just too many issues with helper daemons, download assistants, copy protection schemes, and phone-home posts that it’s worth it. To me, anyway.
