Sonar X2 64bit Producer does not work in Windows 8
The application will launch but opening any plugin crashes the program. I cant even open dimension pro 32bit Sonar just exits.
I heard there will be a Windows 8 patch.
So I went back and tried Sonar 8.5 and it worked flawlessly on Win8 I could insert plugins and play sounds.
BTW 8.5 is 32bit version.
What does this mean ???
no X2 for Win8 or do I wait for a Win8 patch or should I install the 32bit version ?
Thanks

Are you running as Admin. If not just right click on the x2 icon and select run as admin. See if that helps.

I don't usually do this but I'd have to say that X2 works in Windows 8 as well. It still crashes just as well/much as any version of Sonar in any version of Windows with any audio interface I've ever used but when it works it works as expected. Grum.

The app works.
I was able to open Cakwalk template cwp files ,,, then I was able to insert synths,,, But starting a new project as soon as I try to insert synth it crashes. I also tried the admin thing and also tried win7 compat.. I can get it going with a cakewalk sample song,, but I go to pro channel and it crashes,,,,,,,
Are we going to have a Win8 patch or is that just bs from cakewalk, cuz its already been a month 8 is out........ Its obviously giving me issues, where Sonar 8.5 on same rig works great.
patch this b*TCH! I didnt pay 500 bones and buy Winblow 8 for this ???

Why? It seems to work well for Brando and Grumbleweed. It takes no Sherlock Homes here to work our that maybe you need to dig deeper into your system.
Here is an idea. Backup then CLEAN install of Windows 8 plus latest drivers plus CLEAN install of Sonar X2. Also update your firmware everywhere. After that then you can carry on b*tching...
For the moment your conclusion is a little premature.
ps You are not telling us how it crashes, if there is an error message for instance, and if you applied the quickfix or anything about your system (see my footer).
Cheers.

yells make sure you are writing twentyfour bit files... not 32. see preferences.

X2 works fine with Windows 8. Your error sounds to me like either your soundcard drivers are bad or you need to run a full antivirus scan and a memory test. I was having some crashes and I ran the FULL antivirus scan and it found a trojan horse virus.

X2 crashes everytime I exit the program. It appears to be the audio/midi interface drivers. Be nice if the next X patch helps. But I have been researching a new interface. Main problem is needing ADAT I/O. Using w7 for now.

I've found that most of my problems in Windows 8 are solved by reinstalling things. I didn't install Win 8 "clean" either - but it's working fine (apart from a few annoying things that have been fixed with re-installs)

Win 8 x64 works JOLLY good for me.
Do your driver/software/firmware homework PRIOR to complaining. Clean install of Win 8 seems inherently less problematic, maybe that's just cause that's the way I approach things like that.

New install: triple boot
All other functions work fine: MS office works. And CD creation,... And IE, adobe reader,...
Drivers for the EMU are not to be updated. And were not finalized for w7. Creative is a large company that should not have purchased a samll company. They have effectively abandoned it. No sense of responsibility for owners/users.
Using the motherboard audio device seems to work fine with x2. At least no full computer crashes on exiting.
x2 appears to work once opened. It has crashed after opening and closing a bunch of projects.
So, time for a new interface: audio, midi, adat
