Kontakt 7 won't open — crashes 100% of the time, never worked once
![phennessey](https://s.gravatar.com/avatar/8bcdee20c76e8500eeb075b930d86ba8?s=480&r=pg&d=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.auth0.com%2Favatars%2Fp.png)
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.

Update: Downgrading to Mac OS Monterey fixed the problem.
A word of caution to anyone stupid enough to try the latest Mac OS with Native Instruments: DON'T.

I'm going to try downgrading from Sonoma (14.5) to Monterey (12) and see if that helps. I've been reading some bad stories on here about people struggling with that OS.
