[SOLVED] "Everett" - Sonar constantly freezing in PRV

No one seems to believe us, but I agree that Everett is unstable and unpredictable, especially anything having to do with PRV in a heavily loaded project ... I rolled back to Dorchester.   The symptom of White Screen, flashing every 10-20 seconds, and never freeing up, was one I had never seen in any other Sonar before.    And I got it repeatedly in Everett. 
 
Also, though this could have been user error, it took me many many many many hours to recover existing projects, as if the rollback had left something or other behind that was put in with Everett and that contributed to problems.

I guess you missed Dan Cate's post acknowledging problems with PRV display when the controller pane is open. I haven't seen whitescreens, but I have seen redraw delays when first opening the controller pane or changing its size, and when zooming the timeline with the controller pane showing. Dan indicated it should be fixed in an upcoming quickfix.

I thought it was just me, that I must be doing something wrong, but... fortunately I also have a copy of X3 on this computer, and I can load the same project which was created in Platinum up into X3, and it loads, and everything is fine.
 
If I load this project up in Platinum now, any attempt to edit midi data in the piano roll view invokes massive lags and "Not Responding".  Even trying to resize the piano roll view does that.
 
It's a large but not huge project:  27 tracks.  Works fine in X3, and it wasn't even created in X3, so that is my workaround for now:  go back to using X3, I guess.,
 
 
FTR, the DAW is on this hardware:
 
Asrock Z87, 32G DDR3 RAM @ 1600mhz
2 x 2TB Seagate barricudas @ 7200 RPM, + Intel disc acceleration on boot drive via 32GB SSD partition.,
 
 
Never had a problem like this before. 
 
It has taken a while to load so many Kontakt instruments, and I have always got drop outs until they were fully loaded.   That's normal stuff.
 
This is not normal.  Windows like the piano roll view freeze (well, everything is affected), but it will play the thing back.  Just don't try to change anything because it's like running X-windows over a modem ;)
 
Help?

If you experience performance issues with kontakt try removing the convolution reverbs that are inserted with many of the presets. If you must use them put one on an aux bus.

Looking forward to the fix and thankfully have a workaround with X3 until then.
You may know this but one of the cool features about CCC is you can just roll back to earlier versions of Platinum (it only takes 2-3 minutes to do so).
 

Did anyone else notice that the velocity data in the PRV reverted back to the old node system with Everett? They had updated it to bars that could be adjusted and redrawn, but since I updated it's back to how it was in X3. Did I do something wrong or is this a mistake?

This problem has been fixed - it was an inefficiency in the drawing code when you have dense controller data.
We should release an update pretty soon to resolve it. You can temporarily resolve it by hiding the controllers pane.
If its a life and death situation and you cant wait a couple of days PM me and I'll try and get it to you :)

It has not been fixed.
I have the latest build (21.7.00 Build 18 Hopkinton -x64) which I installed 2 weeks ago and it still randomly stops responding when editing in PRV.
Screen greys out and if I wait for Sonar to respond, it looks like it's back after a few minutes but doesn't respond to any clicks. I always end up closing and re-opening the program. Major waste of time. 
 
This is a project with only AD2 open, nothing else, and I don't use the Controller Pane.
