Virus Ti and Antelope Mac compatibility crash - SOLVED

Hey all

I've ben using a Ti for more than 10 years, worked though many issues over the years but currently totally stumped.

Recently trying to install OS 5.1.7.00 on High Sierra. This has happened on a fresh install on my Mac Pro with a currently working OS (also High Sierra) on another drive.

Basically installer crashes when looking for attached Viruses. No matter if there is one connected or not, Have a Polar 1 and a Desktop 1, same on both.

This has happened on fresh installs, old installs. 4 Different Macs, 2010 Mac Pro, 2011 15" Macbook Pro, Late 2013 15" Macbook Pro, 2012 13" Macbook Pro.

All issues on SSD drives so APFS volumes.

All ok on some installs until Virus plugin started to crash Logic X, tried to reinstall then after crash any attempt to load plugin crashes any App. Also after 2 complete fresh installs, all other plugs for my system, days and days, agh!! Original still working system (on slow HDD) has all the same plugs plus a fair bit more..

Possible related Directory issue with APFS volumes. Some unrepairable issues seem to be consistent.

So.. Rolled back one install to HFS+ so I could fully repair Directory, success there but... No change

Have deleted everything Ti related and reinstalled, No change

Cleared all Caches, inc. deep system possibly related.No change

Disabled SIP and Gatekeeper

Currently upgrading HFS+ volume with Archive and Install method... Done... testing... Crash

Will install a copy of Sierra so I can write some music (on a reasonably fast SSD install) for now!!

Anyone else experienced this? is there a Virus in My Virus installer???

Any help much appreciated, business, relationship and children don't leave much time for music (sanity!!) so this much downtime and troubleshooting (I fix other peoples Macs and mobile tech for a living) is getting somewhat frustrating.

Yes I'm in discussion with support via email, no such there so far and thanks to Access support for replying.

Thanks Oli

Sadly looks to be deeper issue than that on High Sierra. I'm rolling back to Sierra with another clean install and expect I'll be ok there?

So same thing on Sierra 10.12.6

Fresh install. Virus software installs first time. Had both Virus's plugged in to make sure firmware was all ok, all ok.

Boot logic, Virus Ti crashes AU Validation.

Now try to open Virus Control get driver mismatch.

Uninstall and download new installer as above.

Installer crashes as before.

Another day down the Virus plughole..

Crash reports below consistent between all OS's on all 4 Mac's

Looks to be a conflict between a component of my new soundcard's software and Access software.

Working with both support teams to find a full solution.

Thanks Oli for suggestions

Virus Ti and Antelope AFX2DAW cause issues with Ti software.

There is a fix for anyone else with this killer good combo.

Best to contact support from either company, cure came from Antelope to me however both communicated to find resolution.

Definitely a positive support experience from both companies, much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Stefan

Apologies didn't get notified (or missed?) about new comment on thread, hope you sorted issue.

Basically its a memory allocation issue in a system file.

Antelope support were very helpful and attentive. I'd drop them a line if you haven't already. Best you go through them in case there is something different with Orion software vs Zen air your individual setup.

I think if you install anything from the software window in Antelope Launcher for Mics or afx you will change the system file.

Let me know if you have any issues with support and I'll send some more info.
