Hey guys, need a little help. I've always used the 32 bit version of Orion with no issues, although running a 64 bit OS. I wanted to try Dune 3 so i start using the 64 bit version, and a lot of good third party plugins are 64 bit compatible only. The thing is, the 64 bit version of Orion freezes after i load a plugin or two. Even with the 64 bit versions of Dune 1 and 2. Can't even click on the top menus and exiting the DAW... What can make Orion 64 bit on a 64 OS more unstable than it's 32 bit version?
I am still using orion 64 here as a daily driver for starting projects or as a scratch pad with no problems. I do recollect there where some bugs in Dune2 that would sometimes crash or hang Orion with some other mysterious Fx-plugins combo. Or with some channels routed to group busses some strange things do happen non deterministically. But for most projects with small number of channels like 8-10 seems to work fine.
Is the freeze occurring when loading the Dune1/2 immediately on a new SFS ? Check your user area for latest versions. What orion version are you using ?
For the somewhat tech user You can always take a memory dump of the process from the task manager and then open the .dmp file using Windbg installed The run the command below to dump all the native threads. One of the threads may show the call stack which is stuck. ~*k
