Live blocks when loading a new project

Post by Dirk C » Sat Oct 23, 2021 10:02 am

Recently Live has a strange behaviour: when I load a project, work in it and then I want to load another project, Live blocks!
It says "loading project" but in the heading there is written "ableton doesn't react". So I have to "close" the program using the task manager and restart it.
Even worse: when I wait a long time, the whole PC blocks (no mouse, no keyboard anymore).

When I load a project, I don't change anything, load another project, then everything works normally.

I experienced this more or less after upgrading to 10.1.40 (now I have installed 10.1.41, but no difference).
I don't say that the upgrade is the cause, but it is very annoying to have to work like that.

Anybody with the same problem?

Here more details of the mentioned problem:

When I load a project and I apply a lot of changes, I can't close Live normally, only via the Task Manager. The same situation happens when I apply a lot of changes and want to load another project.

In case of only a couple of changes, I can close Live and/or I can load another project.

The key seems to be the greater number of applied changes.

Any idea?
