EvilDragon mentioned in another thread that the hope is for Kontakt 7.7 to come out next week. So a fix may happen very soon.

I see, thanks!

Either way, there was no file format changes between 7.6.0 and 7.6.1 so a rollback would've worked just fine.

Thanks! I've just done rollback and works perfectly

Would you please let me know how to roll back to 7.6.0? Did you simply uninstall 7.6.1 first using Native Acess and then use the 7.6.0 installer?

I ran the 7.6.1 update from NA a couple of weeks ago and immediately began having crashes in DP. I found this thread a couple of days ago and ran the 7.6.0 installer (thank you for posting). I checked to make sure that 7.6.0 had in fact been installed (it was), but unfortunately I'm still seeing crashes similar to what was happening in 7.6.1. I've attached three crashlogs: one from 11/5/23 when I was running 7.6.1, and two from yesterday (11/7) after reverting to 7.6.0. Hope that helps and you have a fix soon . . . very frustrating because K7 was trouble free for me prior to this.

Please update to 7.7, CPU spikes issue has been fixed.

chuckbutler

Yep, just installed, seems to have restored order.

Well, in my case the problem is still there. So, no help from 7.7

Just installed 7.7 for Session Percussionist: CPU Spikes up to 100% and crackling

Unuseable.

System WIN 10 (Quadcore, 3,2 GHZ) ...

kontakt 7.6 was unusable, continous CPU spikes, so i updated to 7.7 and the CPU spikes are gone (mac m1)

Seeing the same with Sonoma on M2, 7.7 fixed all the performance concerns with CPU spikes (Sonoma is not officially supported yet, but is looking promising)

How did you fix that?
