Constant fatal crashes related to Kontakt 4 in this pre-cycle

During this pre-release cycle I've been getting constant fatal crashes of the main program and it seems related to Kontakt 4 (bridged). I thought I would post the information here in case its useful. Reaper itself always fatally crashes first and then a few seconds later reaper_host64.exe crashes and it seems to almost always be Kontakt 4. Reaper Crash Code:

Does it crash if you use a non-bridged version? I suppose you're using 32-bit Reaper? Try 64-bit Reaper just to exclude some cases.

... and, does it crash in the latest full release, v4.402?

I reverted to 4.402 and don't seem to be getting the crashes. I suspect it has something to do with this: v4.41pre1 - April 29 2013 + Windows: topmost button activation tweaks (fixes for both embedded bridged plugins as well as native plugins such as Kontakt) I'm using 64-bit Reaper, with 32-bit Kontakt. I'm going to reinstall it using only the 64-bit version which hopefully resolves the problem (though will be a problem for other 32-bit DAWs I have installed so perhaps I'll wait and see if Cockos fixes this in the next pre).

You're most likely right. Maybe I did this to try to get around previous crashes (since they were preventing some projects from even opening). Regardless of what bridging settings I use I get crashes, and seeing as the Reaper.exe crashes first, firewalling and separate process etc. options don't seem to matter much.

maybe try rc16 too

I'll test it right now and let you know! :)

So far so good. I'll do some stress testing and update this thread with any crash logs if the issue persists. Thanks for looking into this for me.

Elektrostudio plugins STILL hanging/not displaying their GUI in rc16! :( To test, download them: . Then set them all to "embed GUI" in Reaper x64. Try to load any of them on a track. Instahang. This does not happen in 4.40, because of this "feature" which was introduced with 4.41pre1: + Windows: topmost button activation tweaks (fixes for both embedded bridged plugins as well as native plugins such as Kontakt).

Does that (Elektrostudio) also happen in REAPER 32 for you?
