Editor causing crashes in Ableton Live on document close / app exit

[jdnorthrup]

Hi, I have the latest version of the AURA Virus Editor in my Ableton Live template project. Whenever I quit Live, for the most part I get a delay in app shutdown followed by a crash report. This also happens sometimes when I close the document.

Here's the top of the report from the crash. I'm using Mac OS 10.14.6, Ableton Live 11.2.7, and the latest Virus editor version.

I use VHE hosted in a Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 server in my Ableton 11 template. Closing the Ableton session (or loading another session from the file menu) would frequently crash the VEP7 server. I use 3 instances of VHE on various synths. I suspect that having the GUI open on every instance helps to avoid the VEP7 crash when quitting Ableton. I've avoided reporting this so far due to the many variables and possibly unusual operating environment I use (but personally recommend), making it difficult to debug. [edit] Windows 10.

Hey @Guod3 let's hope the new build addresses this issue. There was a bug we have fixed that caused some issues during app / editor / daw exit. It should go online later tonight.

[JaniKervinen]

and same goes for you @jdnorthrup as well :)

Look forward to trying a new build. I can confirm with some confidence that the VEP server does not crash when each and all of the VirusHC GUI windows are open at the time of exit. I have an AutoHotkey script that makes all the guI windows in the open state , so I don't notice the problem atm.

Hi, I am looking forward to the new build. The webpage still lists the old build from Nov 11 2022. I look forward to updating this thread if my crash on exit gets resolved!

Thanks, -JD

alright, new build is online even though site shows different build number. try it out and see if it still crashes.

[jdnorthrup]

OK so that fixes my crash on exit. Thanks!
