Ableton live 11.3.2 crashing everytime i load OSC/PAR

Hi, Just installed on a Windows 11 machine with pretty robust specs and for some reason Live crashes every time I drop in OSC/PAR.

Happy to provide any documentation to help resolve this issue.

Looks like I’m having the same issues with same version but on Mac (ARM). Wasn’t happening before so might be a new update thing.

So its a new crash caused by the new version of Ableton? I’ll have to try and reproduce. It may be worth reporting to Ableton as well, since this VST has been stable in previous versions and in other apps…

Having the same problem after updating to Ableton 11.3.2 all is fine until I try to load OSC/Par, when I do Ableton crashes, any fix for this?

I think for now you’ll have to downgrade. Offhand it does seem like an Ableton bug, since it’s never been an issue before.

like downgrade to an older version of OSC par or downgrade to an older version of ableton?

The previous version of Ableton, what were you using before where it was working? I assume it’s this sub-update that introduced this regression.

Hey :slight_smile: I have OSC/PAR crashing Ableton 11.3.3 … Wasn’t sure how to downgrade to 11.3.2 but in 11.2 it seems to be fine. Are you planning to fix the bug that is making it crash in the Ableton update?

Pasting the crash report below, maybe it’s of use.

Currently it seems like the crash is caused by a change to Ableton. It’s not a bug in the plugin itself (since it works in all other software and Ableton versions).
