"NOT RESPONDING" The software and the tech support

[micksmuse]

as much as i love ableton live i gotta say my disgust over the last several weeks is hard to imagine. i actually see "not responding" in my sleep.
since the recent forced upgrade to 9.2.1 my adventures with ableton have been nothing short of atrocious.
finally after not being able to work without fear of throwing the computer out the window i tried contacting tech support.
looks like that is "not responding" either.
i would be hard pressed to recommend ableton to anyone which is sad because i know i turned many onto it in the past, but that is past.

i am relatively certain it is not my computer being it started immediately after the upgrade and i am having no issues with any other software.

is anyone else having these issues?

since the recent forced upgrade to 9.2.1

in preferences, auto updates can be set to off.

I almost never have problems with betas or releases.... But I swear I almost had to stop a session with a client today. Spent about an hour getting Live to Respond.... rest of my PC running full speed. On the plus side, Live did what it faithfully does.... SAVED ALL MY WORK! I love Live....

I never understood why anyone would find automatic updates in potentialy mission critical programs sensible or even useful.

I have it disabled and only do my updates after the air has cleared on the forums with all the people on automatic updates having already discovered all the major bugs
I also always keep the last two working versions installed, just in case the new one doesn't play one of my sets.

Same on OSX updates.
