I urge you, and anyone else having problems in Live with IKM plugins, to contact their technical support again. At the moment it seems they are listening again, trying to tackle this problem. It would be sweet to have this fixed once and for all.

Good news!
Apart from 64bit support the crashbug in Live will also be fixed!

Yeah, just noticed that too

Excellent! (Finally.)

Ohhhhh!!! Great to hear such news!
I was starting to become mad with all the crashes I am having presently (I am working on a project with 2 instances of Sampletank in Live 8 )

That's fantastic news.

I don't suppose any dates were mentioned?

Thank you for posting this. Right now I'm trying to use my IKMM Amp sims in Live 8.2.2 and it is one crash after another.

Still no sign of a new version on the IK downloads page

If it's any consolation, I picked up ACID PRO 7 a while back, just in case ableton never get around to fixing Live. I'm real tired of hanging in there. Anyway, first IK Plugin I loaded in ACID crashed the host immediately.

They're up now. I'm in my IK A/C ...

''AmpliTube 3 3.5.1 14-04-2011 Includes Custom Shop, new models, interface enhancements and 64-bit compatibility''

There's a FREE Version as well.

Is T-Racks also updated?

Thanks for looking man.

Still no news for Sampletank though

Just sent them a support ticket with definite reproducible bug. Hopefully I'll get some new information.

Here's a tip worth trying:

I managed to (completely?) circumvent the annoying and persistent "crash when looping a timespan in arrangement" Sampletank bug in Live. Again, I haven't used IK stuff in a while because of the unstable nature of it, but I got an idea to try this, and it seems to make it more stable indeed.

I used jBridge (http://jstuff.wordpress.com/jbridge/) in between Live and Sampletank, without doing any actual bit conversion. It's a plugin to bridge 32 bit plugins to 64 bit, and also the other way around, but you can also instantiate plugins without any actual bit conversion in between (in this case, just using 32bit <--> 32bit). In other words, I wanted to see whether Sampletank plays nicer when it doesn't have to talk to Live directly , using something small and transparent between them -- and yes, at least as far as my example crash set is concerned, it stopped crashing immediately.

(Edit: I also think this is further proof that there is an actual problem in the way Sampletank communicates with Live, and not in some arbitrary part of this system.)

Also, the recently released free Amplitube stuff does not crash in the same way the older ones did. I hope IK indeed gets around to fixing this in their whole lineup, no matter how crappy their actual customer support is.
