Out-of-the-blue I’m experiencing sudden, complete freezes of Nuendo 12 under Windows 10 today. This setup runs regularly since several years now, and nothing obvious changed. As a matter of fact I was about to finish a mix I created last week, without any freezes at all.
Any ideas? Windows’ Task Manager lists the License Handler as frozen task - is this a pointer to a pending problem, maybe?
@Steinberg: Do Nuendo’s freeze-dumps help to hunt down the cause for this issue? (… see below)
Thanks or asking - yes, that was the first thing I did, of course.
I also tried to start over with an empty new session, but as soon as I import my usual mix-bus section, there will be a freeze either a few seconds or a few minutes later. I don’t see a pattern yet … 8-/
Following the suggestion of @JuergenP my system assembler and I finally installed the basic AMD driver from their “Pro” download (i.e. non-“Adrenalin”), and it seems as this indeed cured the issue. fingers crossed
… the strange thing is that “Adrenalin” was never installed consciously, so it’s certainly something to look out for again in case similar situations arise.
PS: And as a follow-up to the alleged “license problem”: It turned out that I had an old, unused version of Steinberg’s VST Connect on the system, which still used eLicenser and therefore contributed to the confusion. 8-]
