Hi, I've been using Kontakt for a while and have had no issues on my Windows PC. However when I try to use Kontakt 7 or 8 on my mac it crashes a few seconds into playing with any instruments loaded. The error log is as follows.

FL Studio (24.2.2.4319) [Apple Silicon] r37347 has encountered an error and needs to restart.

OS Version:
MacOS latest Version 15.4.1 (Build 24E263)

Native access as well as FL and all NA apps have full disk access and I've tried reinstalling everything multiple times, any ideas are appreciated.

Thank you, I'll look into the FL side of things and see if I can figure out a solution through that. If not I'll reach out to NI support.

Exactly what version of Kontakt 7 and 8 is showing in FL Studio if you click on the NI logo in the Kontakt window?

7.10.7 for Kontakt 7, 8.3.0 for 8. I also tried downgrading 7 to 7.8.1 as I saw some threads from last year that mentioned downgrading to that to fix issues with M3 macs but that unfortunately didn't work either.

Thank you , I tried looking into it earlier today, but there appear to be more people that have such crashes with FL Studio and not just with Kontakt and I didn't spot any reports of any final reason for the crashes or any final solutions.

You could also try to ask image-line.com to see if they have any help or idea ? Just saying and not saying that it is not a Kontakt issue , I simply just do not know.

Hi just updating this in case anyone finds it in the future. I was able to fix the issue by giving FL Studio and all NI apps full disk access in macOS settings. Been working for a bit now and it hasn't crashed.
