  • PLAY 4+ VEP crashes

    Hi.

    I am getting an obsene amount of crashes from VEP whenever I have PLAY 4 instances in the metaframe. It will crash most likely 2 times out of three when I load it. This wasn't a problem with PLAY 3, so I guess the new background loading in PLAY 4 is causing this. Anyone who found a solution? Crashlog could look like this:

    Now it is more like 9 out of 10. And it is just as often thread 0 that crashes. This has gotten much worse with newest PLAY and newest Vienna Ensemble Pro hmm.

    ...reverting back to 13240 seems to have fixed things more or less at least.

    Been having the same problem with Play 4 in our template metaframe.
    I'll get about 3-4 crashes in the morning before it finally takes, seems solid after that, just the initial loadup that seems to crash it.

    Currently running:
    -Mac OSX 10.9.5
    -VEP v5.3.13407 --- (had this issue with previous versions of VEP as well)
    -Play v4.2.2 --- (As you said above, this is the real culprit (this was not a problem for us with v4.0.18, but we were finally forced to upgrade for other compatibilty reasons))
    -Kontakt v5.4.1

    I'll post my bug report as well next time it crashes... which should be soon...

    I am on 5.3.13407 on 10.9 mavericks. So far no issues.

    Im using 9 play plugins with 81 instrumetns and will be running many many instances on this same box. I am trying to get all articulations for EWQLSO on this box. if i can.

    ;) prolly a fools errend though. anyone else hate SO's extra license just buy the whole thing again policy POUT ;( Sadly I missed out on the 99 bucks extra license sale last April.

    As promised, here's my crash report from this morning...
    Here's to hoping that someone from VSL support and/or EastWest support see's this forum post... In our template we have two instances of play, it seems to most often crash while loading the second instance which contains piano/keyboard instruments/harp... Not entirely sure, but I think it crashes while loading specifically the harp from EWQLSO more often than others...

    And I'm gonna stop there because the VSL forum seems to need me to manually add in line breaks to not have this be a big huge block of text... Unless there's a formatting button I'm missing here??

    I am on 5.3.13407 on 10.9 mavericks. So far no issues.

    Im using 9 play plugins with 81 instruments and will be running many many instances on this same box. I am trying to get all articulations for EWQLSO on this box. if i can.

    😉 prolly a fools errand though. anyone else hate SO's extra license just buy the whole thing again policy POUT ;( Sadly I missed out on the 99 bucks extra license sale last April.




    Are you running Play v4.2.2? If not what version?
    Do you have any Kontakt instruments in there as well?

    Also, I agree, I hate the use of iLok with Play... makes working with redundant workstations expensive as shit.

    OH i don't mind iLok what i mind is soundsonline is unreasonable with their licensing.. that has little to do with pace!  i mean the additional licenses for almost as much as the full always 50% off price? Really O.o

    Its a bit steep!

    and they really didn't show the advantages of platnium with 4 separate licenses one per group Strings/brass/woodwinds/percussion. That would have been nice to really hilight in the comparasson chart.. sigh..

     As for the Play version Play 4.2.2 no kontact stuff in there yet. I am making one massive nuendo/cubase template with all articulations. So its slow gonig with naming tracks etc.

    It crashes while loading Celeste a lot as well, if not more than Harp. Also, I can always tell when it's about to crash... When the loading screen pops up for the second instance (mentioned above), the bar never starts moving while the names of the instruments flash by as they're loading. Inevitably, it lands on a particular instrument and stalls, then VEP crashes.

    pparker88:

    Simon's initial crash showed Play crashing in some of its iLok code.

    Your crash report shows Kontakt crashing in some gui creation code. Please kontakt Native Instruments support with your krash report, they should be able to help you further.

    If you want fast and accurate response to VEP crash reports, please email support@vsl.co.at, which is our primary support channel.

    Hey Martin, thanks for the insight!

    Stemming from a discussion I was having in the EastWest forums, I have just changed our metaframe template to initiated loading the two instances containing Play first and then the instances containing Kontakt. This seems to have remedied the issue for me for the time being (have only loaded the metaframe twice, but no crashes so far...)

    If I have any more crashes or other issues I will certainly file a report directly with VSL support, thank you again!

    Cheers,
    Paul

    From what i know.. and have heard.. Kontact wiil totaly do a RAM grab as much as it can get its grubby paws on.  Its best to load it last
  • S

    Yes, and I have gotten my template not crashing by loading the PLAY instances LAST. So in other words, it seems totally random, what works...:) It crashed at once when I tried putting my 4 PLAY instances first....

    Both Kontakt and PLAY seem to not play nicely with VEP. I doubt neither will do anything about it though.

    Yeah, I wouldn't assign causality to any ordering like that.. I would not like to be forced to order my instance behind this kind of crap.

    The order of plugins should not matter. If it does, it points to some memory corruption bug in one (or more) of your plugins. This can (and will) cause undefined strange behavior and crashes.

    I'm somewhat stable but PLAY causes Cubase to crash when loading a project, so I moved PLAY to VEP. I HOPE it doesn't start to crash VEP frequently or I'm going to need to abandon PLAY all together....It's a shame these plugins are having issues. Kontakt and PLAY are pretty much the reason I purchased VEP.

    And now in Yosemite Play not load nothing in his memory server in VEP 32 bits !!! When one wants to put a large template with Play in VEP 32 bits = CRASH !!

    What a SHAME !!

    Yosemite is 64 bits. Play 4 is 64 bits. .VE Pro has a 64 and a 32 bit  bit server.

    Guess which one it makes more sense to put Play 4 in? :)
  • L

    Mavericks is 64 bits, Play is 64 bits. I put Play where I want (64 or 32 ) according to what I want to do.

    In Yosemite this is not possible because an issue in Play 4, then for what your server is used ?

    1. Technology moves on and backwards compatibility is not forever.

    2. The 32 bit server is for any remaining 32 bit software instruments you use. Like Sylenth, I believe.

    Anyway, if you insist on using the 32 bit server for 64 buit plug-ins then load Play 4 in the 64 bit server and load Kontakt in the 32 bit server since you say that still is possible.

    But personally, I recommend you say to 32 bit anything, "Thanks guys it was fun but it's over. :)
