Both STUDIO ONE and FL STUDIO will crash.

Welcome to the forums, JVLaine! Is there anything in particular that you click on in the plugin that makes it crash? You could also try Running FL Studio as an Administrator and see if that helps.

This issue does not happen as often when in the "preferences/Daw Settings" tab, "Highlight Bar from Daw is set to 'none' Anything else FL Studio will crash almost immediately. I have tried all the various suggested recommendations with no real effects. I have downloaded the latest update (Build 920). now Fl Studio just shuts down when you try to use it!.....

Still after the latest updates both BIAB(920) and FL Studio (20.9.1) this problem persists. Running as an Administrator does not help. My workaround for the time being is to run the DAW Plugin standalone and not inside FL Studio. Rather annoying.

BTW I am not a "Newbie". Been using Biab for over 15 years, and registered to this forum 2005.

For anyone wanting to stay up to date with the latest bug fixes for the plugin, you can find the latest officially release patches here:

Windows: https://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm
Mac: https://www.pgmusic.com/support_macintoshupdates.htm

These patches included fixes for the plugin as well, so if you're ever experiencing crashes it's a good idea to make sure you're on the latest build first. The patch updates are cumulative, so you can go ahead and simply install the latest one for your specific version year.


Cheers,
Ember

That link goes to DAW Plugin update to build 4.5.33 which is still in beta testing. If you can't follow the link than you will need one of the PGTeam to get you in. Will have to wait for them to come along.

Hi JVLaine, if you would like to try the pre-release build update, then please contact us directly either over live chat or email support@pgmusic.com. We try to only have the approved beta testers have access to the pre-release builds, but if it fixes your particular issue we can send it to you directly.

I've just realised I misunderstood that.

To post a screenshot you need to use "full reply", either by clicking the "Reply" or "Quote" buttons (i.e., not just using the window at the bottom of the page or by using the "Quick Reply" or "Quick Quote" buttons, of if you've started with one of those, then click the "Switch to Full Reply Screen". Once you've done that, you'll have a "File Manager" link below the text window. It's rather arcane.
