Anyone experienced instability with the ARC2 vst?

I had a project that was crashing every time it got to the end of a loop, and after some detective work the problem seemed to be caused by having the ARC2 plugin turned on. As soon as I turned it off, the problem went away. Hasn't happened in any other project yet but it does worry me a bit. Just wondered if anyone else had seen anything like it. 

No issues here

rock solid here as well.
 
 
 

Never had an issue...

Interesting that you would have this happen at the end of a loop, sharke. Last night I was looping a section and experienced dropouts just before the end of the loop. I thought it was due to the heavy processing needed for that project. I usually set my latency at 1024 samples for mixing/mastering and I never had dropouts, until now.
I went back to the project tonight after reading your OP and experienced the same dropouts. It stops every time just before the end of the loop and will not repeat. I turned off ARC2 and still had dropouts. I turned off Ozone5 and the dropouts continued. I turned off all plugs/effects. More dropouts. But no issues when not using loops.
Then I went to another project. No problems with dropouts in loops. Then another project, and another. Still no dropouts. So, in my case, I think it's the project, not ARC2. If I find a correlation with the dropouts, I'll post again. Other than this single issue with the one project, my current setup with X3 has been very stable.

That sounds like exactly what's happening at my end - playback stops at the end of the loop and then it hangs. But in my case disabling ARC made the problem go away. I tried re-enabling it a few times and every time the same thing - a hang. I've had other projects with ARC that have had no such problem however, so it sounds like one of those "perfect storm" combinations of things which includes ARC. Do you have any other IK Multimedia plugs in the project in question? 

Yeah I've had a few crashes here and there. Sharke. One I reported to the bakers (which we chalked up to being an older version of ARC 1) and the other anomalies I experience only seem to happen in Sonar X3 x64.
 
Nothing ever gets me while working on a project though, thank God. My issues come after an export. I've tried the exports with ARC both turned off and left on (though the bus it's on is always not in use) and every 30-40 exports, I'll get an app crash AFTER the export is done. It's never ruined anything for me though thankfully. I wish I could come up with a recipe for it, but it's just one of those "every once in a while" things and it's NEVER happened while using Sonar x86. So that makes me wonder a bit. I also don't use ARC 2 which *may* have something to do with your issue.
 
I don't use the loop thing often but when I do, I've never experienced any drop-outs or inconsistencies. I'll keep an eye out for this and will try a few things with ARC 2 to see if it brings on any crashes.
