Could be a graphics-related thing.
Issue: Superior Drummer 3 crashes Cubase here.
Reproduce: Use Superior Drummer 3 in Cubase 10.5 or 10.5.5 on Mac. Often upon opening SD3 Cubase will poof, or after using SD3 for a bit and using some menus in it Cubase will poof.
This does not ever happen on C10.0.4. No other plugins cause a crash like this, but the graphics issue in the other thread happen with some.
Hi,
PLease, search the forum. SD3 crashes were discussed here few weeks ago already.
It was me who posted about it in the General forum, but now it’s an Issue. It’s Mac CoreGraphics related (that’s what it says in the error report), which is an acknowledged issue so I hope Steinberg is working very hard on that.
Hi,
Could you attach a crash dump? Or have you attached already (if yes, could you link the thread here, please)?
I have had the same issue - SD3 (latest version 3.1.5) will crash Cubase 10.5.5 on Mojave
I can create a new cpr then add SD3 and load kits but I cannot load a cpr with an instrument track that has SD3 even if I create a new cpr, save it, close Cubase then launch 10.5.5 and load that cpr. The session never appears - cubase just closes
I have crash dumps here
Cubase10-5-5_SuperiorDrummer3_crash.zip (27.3 KB)
10.0 does not exhibit this issue.
Thanks for looking into this. SD3 is a pretty significant VST for me.
Hi,
The crash is clearly in com.toontrack.superior3. Get in touch with the plug-in vendor, please.
I did and shared the issue with them. However this crash only occurs with Cubase 10.5, not in any earlier version or stand-alone. So it is related to how it loads within 10.5.
It would be helpful if you could help identify what changes that you made to your application that cause it to crash.
Thanks

As you can see, the chain is: Cubase - toontrack.superior3 - macOS graphics core => crash.
So my expectation is, there is something in a graphics area of Superior 3. But I believe the plug-in vendor knows much more about it from the crash dump file, I see just a codes, they see the exact methods after resolving the crash dump file.
