Hi all, We have some news on this front regarding the recent Windows crashes . Cycling 74 have supplied us with some potential fixes. To test the fixes, the attached maxurl objects should replace the maxurl objects in the respective Max 7 folders. (Free free to rename the older versions in order to...

Hi Reimund, you have a couple of options here... You can look at what patches were applied during the last round of Windows Updates. If you're on Win7, go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update > View update history. If you want to back out any update, go here: Control Panel > Prog...

not sure if this helps but after the last round of windows updates m4l is now completely unusable on my windows 7 64bit system. before, the workaround (load m4l midi device and wait for 15 to 30 seconds) worked quite nicely and i was able to load almost all of my m4l devices. now after the updates i...

this is a problem with live on windows 7 64 bit, for a workaround see last page of this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=205402. no need to reinstall, it won't help.

hi stromkraft, yes, i can send you a crash report during the weekend (now i`m still at work). for me it crashes everytime when i load live for the first time and then load a more complicated m4l device like. e.g. time and timbre. interestingly, when i re-load live after the crash most of the times t...

sorry,it was not my intention to attack apren in any way. i appreciate that he is trying to find a solution for the m4l crashes. i just wanted to point out that i have many crashes with m4l in live 9.1.6 64bit and windows 7 64 bit yet i don`t even use avast. from the comments on the forum it is clea...

never heard of avast and have never installed it on my windows 7 64bit machine. yet i have all those crashes with m4l.

just take a look here: https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=205402 and you see that a lot of people are having these problems and that it is a problem with running m4l in live 64 bit on windows 7 64 bit. i also have these frequent crashes with m4l devices under these system configurati...

Just as an update on my end, I still get crashes with M4L stuff sometimes and it's not just one kind of M4L device. It's really quite random here. same here but i get the crashes not only sometimes but almost everytime i load a m4l device. funnily, when i restart live after the first crash the m4l ...

Hey Tagor, Yes, we've tested thoroughly before release but as it is loaded into Max and Live (and Windows/Mac) and those programs get updated, sometimes things change and we need to fix bugs. We're really sorry the bug is a crash. That's horrible and we will make sure it's fixed as soon as possible...

do you only have a problem with dubmachines or with other m4l devices as well? if so then it is maybe related to this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=205402
cheers

i also have these issues. when i updated a few days ago to live 9.1.6 and max 6.9.1 in the beginning everything was fine and i could load m4l devices without crashes. yesterday when i started live again and tried to use different m4l devices i got crashes again. like for the other users the crashes ...
