Cubase 8.5 crash with Virus Ti2 desktop

    I have been running into a crash that happens regularly (or at least I can reproduce it on a regular basis).


    When I load the VST it, in most cases, starts up without issue. However, after closing it, then opening it again, then attempting to select something (category, patch, etc.) it will crash Cubase.


    The process I follow is:
    1. Open Cubase
    2. Load Virus rack instrument
    3. Select a patch
    4. Close the rack instrument (removing the instrument)
    5. Add the instrument back
    6. Select a patch or category
    *crash


    It can happen after one, two, or three closes but it will happen again. On occasion it will happen on startup but that is rare.


    Here is my system information:
    Windows 10 64bit (build 1607 14393.222), 64GB RAM, i7, 3.3GHz
    Cubase Pro 8.5.20 build 169
    Virus Ti2 Desktop 5.1.1, Audio 2.9.66, Midi 1.0.64GB


    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software 3 or 4 times now. I have uploaded an animated gif showing what happens.


    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I don't know what is exactly installed on Windows and I have no way to check but... on Mac OS X there are two versions of the plugin installed: a VST (2.4) and VST3 (3.x). If it's the same on Windows, which one are you using? I found that the VST3 seems to be better integrated.

    Thanks for the good suggestion.
    I did try both 2 and 3. Eventually, I uninstalled 2 completely to ensure there were no possible conflicts.


    Unfortunately, the same results. :(

    Hi folks! Same problem with me. I have an Virus TI and and a Polar OS 5.1.1. Projects crash inconstantly when opening them in Cubase 8 pro.
    I uninstalled the Virus suite and reinstalled only the VST Plugin (NO VST3 Plugin though!!!), in my case 64 bit. Works fine. The Project that opened without crashing before even open much quicker! So I also agree with that there must be a problem with the VST3 structure on possibly Steinbergs side. Hope to have helped some people out of the same annoying problem I had....
