Fab-Filter plug-in properties bug?

Hello,
 
just installed Platinum after using X2 for last few years and everything is pretty great so far (still have to re-organize all my plug-ins, blah, but that's outside the scope of this post).
 
Issue is this: when trying to adjust the plug-in properties for my Fab-Filter stuff both the Properties window and Sonar Platinum enter the 'Not Responding' error mode for about 15 seconds...this doesn't result in a crash, but it's always alarming to see Sonar go 'Not Responding' while working on a project.
 
Anyone else have this?  If not I might just do a full re-install of Windows and everything because it's been awhile and my DAW is due.

Hey Jonboper,
I was searching up this issue myself when I came across your post.
 
The issues I have is that Fabfilter plug ins are causing some sort of audio dropout of audio in sessions I have.
Initially I thought I had a hardware driver problem but it only causes the problem in Sonar (Platinum) - not Albeton, Pro Tools or Cubase ( I have trialed a bunch of other SW to try to work out if it's a problem with my HW)
 
My system is a HP Z420 with 24 Gigs RAM - It's modern/fast and dedicated to Music only.
I am running Sonar Platinum 21.8 release Ipswich 
HW tried - Avid HD Native, Avid Eleven Rack, M-Audio C400, Presonus Firebox
steps to reproduce

• 1) start with a session that is playing fine - the one I have is about 15 tracks, 4 Audio the rest instruments ( Native Instruments, AAS CHromophone, Air instruments Velvet, Z3ta )
• 2) add a Fabfilter Micro (single filter) V 1.13 VST2 version

result

• a) when you add the plug in, the CPU meters ( which have been hovering at about 5-10%) jump to the red briefly as the plug in is added.
• b) there are now regular dropouts of audio every 5 seconds or so
• c) removing the plug in does NOT stop the problem - you need to quick Sonar & restart to recover your project
• d) happens on all HW tried (PCIe card, USB 2, Firewire) 
• e) DPC Latency checker shows no problem - there aren't other drivers conflicting with the HW
• f) the CPU meters of Sonar only randomly show spikes - most of the time they look like there is no problem but will randomly spike during playback and when you stop/rewind.
• g) on some occasions playback stops complete with the "audio dropout" dialogue

Perform a VST reset:

Update your audio interface firmware and drivers, run windows update and temp disable your virus scanner. I assume you are on X2A.

Don't understand the logic but sure..

As others are not experiencing it the first thing I would try is the VST reset as I have already suggested. Rule it out first.
