I am so let down.
I've installed a fresh copy of Komplete Ultimate 14. Fresh system install (M1 Mac Mini from 2020). Tried running it via GarageBand just to test it out. Failed. Wouldn't load. Caused a major system crash.
Restarted. Read an online forum that said to add disk access to all the applications. Tried to run Kontakt 7 as a standalone app.
Crashed again. Restarted. Crashed again. This thing has NEVER opened ONCE.
I've attached the crash report. I pray this is enough for the goon squad at NI to help me out.
