Hi Guys,
Today, I updated kontakt from version 6.6.1 or 6.7.0 (I cannot remember exactly which it was) to 6.7.1, and my VEP template on my main rig that only uses around 30 gigs of RAM is now fully saturating my RAM and crashing my computer.
I have tried it with both 64 and 128 gig configurations, and kontakt, while it only shows 5 GB in use between 6 patches, will use everything that is in the system. The rig was working perfectly fine until I accidentally updated Kontakt.
If I go in and set a global purge within each instrument, it will halve the ram usage: 64GB to 32GB, 128GB to 64GB.
Nothing has changed within Kontakt's options. I thought, maybe, the preload size got adjusted, but it is still set to 60 kB. Additionally, if I close out of VEP or Cubase, it does not appear that all of the RAM used by kontakt is correctly freed from the system. My rig usually idles around 6-8GB, but it will be stuck at 20GB until a system restart.
Unfortunately, it appears NI has changed their methodology of contacting a support agent, but is there anyway that I can get prior version to roll back to?
