  • VEP 5 crash when loading metaframe

    I get this about 3 times out of 4 loading the same metaframe. As far as I can tell it is related to one or more Kontakt instances but since the metafram eventually will load, it's hard to tell which or why...:

  • Really... nobody else have problems with Kontakt 5 crashing VEP endlessly? It seems to be related to custom GUI libraries - which are almost everything these days. Particularly in this instance it is Soundiron Apocalypse and/or Spitfire HZ01. I am trying to hunt down the problem but when it crashes 9 times out of 10 it takes a hell of a lot of time to figure out exactly what it is.


  • I haven't had HZ01 crash it. But I think you're onto something. The thing that causes the trouble here is BFD2 and the crash logs suggest to me the OS, VE Pro, in some combination - and in some cases, a crash while launching I see NI - hate BFD2 GUI.


  • Could be a coincidence, but the least stable frame is probably one of the viframes I've been using lately and it does have two instances of HZ01 with BFD2. But 'thread 0 crashed' has to do with GUI stuff in OSX and BFD2. I have thought for some time that a combination of things with elaborate GUI can be unstable in this sandbox.
