Hi All
 
I am trying to re-open an old Sonar 8.5 project using my Sonar Platinum and it crashes with no other messages.  Any one encountered this problem?
 
Thanks

Does the old project use TTS-1 synth ?
If so, then try removing tracks with TTS-1. Actually if the track is not an Instrument track, you can simply mute the MIDI track driving the TTS-1.
Some of my old projects with TTS-1 tracks crash as soon as the first note is sent to TTS-1. Some old projects with TTS-1 work fine.
New Platinum projects have no issues with TTS-1.
I am still working on figuring out what is going on. This has been occuring since July release I think.

No, I don't use TTS-1.  It does not fully open and then it crashes.  So maybe I need to re-install 8.5 and edit it until it works with Platinum?
 
Thanks

Have you tried opening the project in Safe Mode?

That did it.  Thanks for your help

Hi are you using the latest 2016.09 update? If so can you please create a problem report with a crash dump attached and list the bug number? We can look into why its crashing for you.

I've experienced a few crashes myself this week, but no minidumps were generated (just a "sonar has stopped working" dialog). It is my understanding that SONAR no longer requires any user action to enable minidumps, is that correct?
 
(I was able to identify TTS-1 as the culprit, however, from the event log.)
 

We have a bug in the crash reporter :) It will be fixed shortly.
But yes under normal circumstances minidumps should get created under 
%AppData%\Cakewalk\SONAR Platinum\Minidumps and the problem reporter should automatically get launched.
Otherwise windows should take over and save a minidump on its own.

Ok, I created the problem report and it is
