There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi all,

after updating to Kontakt 7.6.1 I have major issues with CPU spikes and graphics. I have asked NI support for the 7.6.0 installer. While I wait, does anyone have the 7.6.0 installer or the .component file? I'm on Mac M1 max, OS 12.7.

Thanks so much in advance for any help, much appreciated

I have just created a post that covers this and includes the installers for the previous version of K7:

I just went to 7.6.1 and have exactly the same issues. Did you get the 7.6.0 installer?

bengteh

No, unfortunately.

I also have huge issues with extreme CPU spikes on Apple M1 Pro.

Has anyone from NI signaled they are aware of and are addressing this issue? This is wholly unacceptable. This combined with the face that Kontakt is not backwards compatible is royally screwing me and many other customers over. We need a fix like, yesterday.

I have exactly the same problem! …Huge issues since the update which makes it impossible for me to work on projects. Very frustrating. I contacted support but haven’t heard anything from them so far…

Same here, i can't open my current projects and i'm on a deadline for some clients ! Can you share the 7.6.0 DMG file please to be able to rollback immediately !

Gee. Everything works perfectly for me on 7.61 running on Windows 10. What's that tell you???

Is NI fixing the 7.6.1 update problem any time soon ?

EvilDragon

Yes, the issue was under investigation and the cause was found. That's all I can share.

Glad I found this thread, it's been wholly unbearable, have lost several hours on restarts, workarounds, and avid support emails. hopefully, some dev gets a firm reprimanding.

Same Problem here after updating to Kontakt 7.7.2, Windows PC. Before the update I was able to run up to 50 Kontakt Instruments at the same time, CPU Usage was always around 1-2% for each preset. Now it takes up to 15-20% CPU usage for the same preset, that means 5-6 Kontakt Instruments running together cause a CPU overload. A downgrade to version 7.6 didn’t help.

Has this been fixed yet? 7.2?
