  • VE Pro 4881: "This file has been created in a newer version"

    I can't get VE Pro to work anymore, all of a sudden, without me having changed anything. When I load the Logic file, I the slave displays the message "This file has been created in a newer version of VE Pro. Please update."  I can click "OK" then VE Pro crashes (on the slave).

    However, both DAW and slave have 4881 installed. 

    DAW

    Logic 9.1.1, OSX 10.5.8, Mac Pro 8 core, VE Pro 4881 AU

    Slave

    VE Pro Server 4881. Windows XP64, 6 instances of VE Pro, preserved

    Sorry this is a bit of an urgent one, as I am missing a deadline....

    This sounds like the project file has gone corrupt somehow. Did you keep a backup of the metaframe project?

    Thanks Karel. Do you think that's really the case? I do have a backup but it's old and would need a lot of rebuilding. Could it be re-saved from the state it is now, or at least the individual instances saved separately, then a new metaframe created, then those saved instances loaded into it again?

    Just to be clear again. The message "This file was created in a newer version" doesn't appear when trying to load the metaframe. The metaframe loads fine, with all its instances. The message appears when the host is trying to connect to it. It's quite a large metaframe - around 16GB,

    I currently have it running again, but this thing happens now every few days, and will take out half a days work. I get it running again by saving a Logic file with all the instances disconnected, then load the VE frame on the server, then manually reconnect each instance.

    What I recommend is to load the metaframe and manually connect all Server Interface plugins in Logic to the Server instances in the metaframe. Make sure that all Server Interfaces are not decoupled. Then save the project in Logic. That should ensure the project is saved properly with Logic as well for further use. If the problem keeps reappearing you might be running out of memory perhaps?

    The problem has been reappearing. I doubt it's a RAM issue: on the the server there are still 8GB free, and on the host around 9GB free.

    The problem starts often many hours after the Logic file has been loaded, and working fine,  and days after the metaframe has been loaded. One of the instances may then stop working, as if it's lost a connection. My instinct is then to remedy the situation by reloading the Logic file, which then starts the sequence of events described above.

    I've only just really understood the decouple function now, so would having decouple activated potentially reduce the occurrence of this problem? I always save all the data with the metaframe anyway. However, I never had the impression that my Logic save times were slow anyway.

    Until the upcoming VE Pro update is released (very soon), I recommend running all your VE Pro Server Instance plugins decoupled and saving things on the server side. When decoupled, the master host will only save the server connection information and the preserved name to connect to, and not the viframe project.
