Kontakt 7 Kernel Panics OSX 13.6.6

dented42ford

Kontakt 7 is crashing consistently on my system, and I don't know why. 7.8 wasn't doing it, and I didn't notice until I went to open it in a (Logic) session.

When opened as a plugin, it crashes the DAW. It does it to every DAW, in every format - I've tried VST3 (Live, Bitwig, Nuendo), AU (Logic, Live), and AAX (Pro Tools).

If opened in standalone, it instantly kernel panics the system.

I've tried all the solutions suggested in other threads on here. I do use a KK61, but I've tried it disconnected (after a restart, and pref delete) and it didn't change anything.

I can open Kontakt libraries in Komplete Kontrol, but I've also had some crashes there.

Prior to the most recent updates to Kontakt, it was stable.

Any ideas?

M2 Mac Studio, 96gb, 2tb, 13.6.6

Libraries are on an external OWC drive, tried disconnecting it, changed nothing. Tried uninstalling and re-installing. Kind of at a loss. I've attached one of the crash logs from opening in standalone.

@dented42ford Thanks for the report, I'm contacting you by email, we've seen some kernel panics on Sonoma but not on OSX 13, we'll need to have a closer look to your case.
