Massive Crashes in Ableton 12.0.2

Hello,

does massive run stand alone?

Hi, yes the standalone version stays open and fuctioning while ableton 12.0.2 crashes

sorry i can´t test i forgot that i only have live lite 11, you could maybe check if both versions are the same. You can go to the vst(3) folder where the dll is stored and check for the version. And do you use vst3 or vst2? And if you open it stand alone, do you see a spinning wheel or something, then wait until it´s finished and try again to open in live.

i only have live lite 11,

If you want to then I think that your upgrade to Live Lite 12 is free

I'd like to help , I just don't know how to since it appears to be either an issue in your end or an issue after some use that I wouldn't know how to 'generate' . All I have is the link to the standard trouble-shooting : Plug-ins Tips and Troubleshooting

However then your specific issue and the story attached to it also wants to make me want to ask to check your rig for malware and other things that could influence performance. Also check memory integrity. (mem test)

Also other Windows integrity tests :

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

I can confirm both versions vst2 and vst3 crash ableton live 12 - but in every other daw it works including live 11 - maybe something to tell ableton too

massive x too - i try now some other plugins but it will take a while cause i have to reopen live every time again, there sees to be a problem with other native plugins too

I already conducted memory test and the sfc/scannnow prompt in the command prompt. Also tried to check image Health through Command prompt and everything was fine. No errors or corrupted files.
Also, thank you Uwe303 to have confirmed the crashes on your end.

Alao after searching the Internet I found also some ppl complaining about with other plugins, to me it seems like an issue on abletons end - but I forwarded it to native.

P.S. I also tried to start live as admin, cause in the dump it states that it could not write some files but it was no solution

I also tried that before with no success. I also suspected it could have been ableton's fault so i reposted this same thread on the ableton forum. It sucks because in that case waiting for an update fix could take much time. Could Native instruments comunicate directly with Ableton Team to fix this?

I can confirm both versions vst2 and vst3 crash ableton live 12

Sorry for asking a 'dumb question' , but how did you make it crash ? I inserted both Massive and Massive X VST3 in Ableton Live 12 Lite and I had no crash (?) I just inserted both again prior to clicking to post here. But as I wrote above then I didn't know what I were supposed to do. (and limited how much time I could invest anyway).

I just dragged it from the browser onto a new track, than I get a prompt at the bottom that says - this vst is disabled - when I renablee the plugin(s) and try to load it/them again live 12 crashes.

That probably explains the difference , I just selected the midi track in upper part of interface and then double clicked the plugin from list on the left side of interface. No crash that way. I can drag and drop from same left side list to same midi tracks.

I probably do not do it the right way from your perspective, but works for me.

that also crashes on my computer no matter how i try to open the plugins

P.S. i found the issue, the windows ransomeware protection, you just go to the block list, there is an entry for ableton live you select it ans set it to allow access to your user folder - there you go

enter "ransomeware" into the windows search bar then it will guide you to the correct setting then select "block list" or something like that

I don't have Ransomware protection active at all. It's disabled and was disabled already when i posted first.
