Reaper crashes when loading Kontakt and Komplete tracks

betamax

I have a lot of old projects with Kontakt 5 and Komplete 2.8 on certain tracks.

Opening these projects crashes Reaper.

I also have a lot of track templates using Kontakt 5 and Komplete 2.8, and adding these to a project also crashes reaper.

I've found a workaround which is that if I open a new project, add a track with a new Kontakt 5 vst on it and then save this project, Reaper will no longer crash when adding my templates, and I can also open my old projects again.

But it's not nice to have to use this workaround all the time.

I've followed the guide for Kontakt Crashes but it has not helped.

Both Kontakt and Komplete open fine in standalone (however I can't figure out how to open the old Komplete 2.8 in standalone, when I run Komplete in standalone it is 3.0.3

Any advice much appreciated.https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004169849-Kontakt-Crashes

I'm happy to say I've resolved the issue for now. I've downgraded to Komplete Kontrol 2 version is 2.9.6 using this link https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/14394517675677-How-to-Keep-Komplete-Kontrol-2-9-and-Komplete-Kontrol-3-on-Your-System (but without also running version 3) and then I did a "clear cache and rescan" vst plugins in Reaper :-)

The latest Komplete Kontrol 2 version is 2.9.6, you can find the installer here, as well as instruction on how to keep both versions: How to Keep Komplete Kontrol 2.9 and Komplete Kontrol 3 on Your System

Maybe this wll fix the crashes you're experiencing.

Thanks for the advice. I followed this guide but it did not resolve the issue. Reaper still crashes when loading projects with Kontakt and Komplete tracks, or when adding track templates with Kontakt and Komplete plugins.

Not quite a solution but it works for you.

Those with the new keyboards can at least use Kontakt with keyboard mapping built in.

Tick-Tock, taking a while to resolve this bug.
