[UPDATE] Crashing With BFD3

Did BFD3 create a crash log the next time you opened it?
If so you should send it to techsupport@fxpansion.com .
 
Was BFD3 running fine in X3 (if you had X3 of course?)
I don't think the problem is with BFD3 even if other vsti's are running fine because nothing has changed in BFD3 whereas platinum has changed.
There have been some other posts from people having issues with platinum and BFD3 so maybe search those and see if they offer any solutions.
 
Good luck

If it's crashing Sonar there will be a dump file. The smart guys look at those files to find the culprit. You may want to find that file and send it to tech support for a look. 
 
Does it work in stand alone mode? Sounds like BFD is crashing Sonar when it tries to use the audio engine. Call the wizards.

Hey Steve.  Yeah....BOY do I have crash logs!!! :)
I have been trying to get some answers from the folks at Fxpansion, but WOW....talk about slow customer service.
You may get one response from them today and then not here anything for 4 or 5 days after that.  I know I'm not their only customer and they must be busy as well, but it's a pretty painful process so far. 

Thanks

Does BFD3 work ok if you run it standalone?

When you uninstalled BFD3, did you delete the BFD3 stuff in the registry before reinstalling? I installed from the USB drive, also. Works fine in Platinum here.

Best of luck Mojo! I just picked up my flowers too!

Actually no.  It does the same thing in standalone.  
 
That's why I believe something is going wrong during the install.
I am installing from the USB.  That's what I purchased.  And the install seems "iffy" when I use it.  I don't really know how else to describe it.  I have even used it in a different port each time to make sure it wasn't my PC.
 
Thanks

 
Hey Mojo
 
If this is happening in standalone is BFD3 not producing crash logs the next time you open it?
If it si you need to zip them up and send them to techsupport AT fxpansion.com also send the run time logs which you can find in, 'C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\FXpansion\BFD3\Run Time Logs.
 
It's always best to get BFD3 up and running in stand alone before loading it into sonar or another sequencer.
Other things you could try would be to make sure BFD3 is using asio in the options/audio, and make sure your asio drivers are up to date.
 
Did you encounter any issues during the BFD3 install?

Has anyone else who downloaded BFD3 experienced this?

 
Lots of people I'm afraid but thankfully I wasn't one of them.
Bear in mind it is 37GB and that's a lot, I have a 60MB broadband speed, I started downloading about 11.30pm and it had completed when I got up the next morning so about 8 hours for me. What is you broadband speed?
 
As for the usb being the cause I guess it's possible but I haven't heard of it before.
Are you the administrator and do you have full user account control?
If not you should make sure you do as I have know this to cause all kinds  of problems for people.

Mojo, as I'm sure you know d/l speeds are usually server/traffic or maybe local disk capacity issues. I went with d/l for BFD3 and existing expansion packs for a new install, was 2-3 hours tops. 
 
To your original issue, came across similar issues when attempting to load and run older projects done with BFD2. I installed BFD2 -after- BFD3 and it downgraded the license manager to an older version. Issues -seemed- to be related to the FXpansion license manager trying to run on project load when it didn't recognize the previously authorized content. After a bit of trial and error, was able to get things running with the latest license manager. But took several attempts. 
 
FWIW, you shouldn't have to reload the audio to fix the problem. Just make sure you scan for content and confirm authorization before trying to use it. And a big +1 to twaddle's comments on running as administrator and confirming the audio engine BFD thinks it wants to use. Hope the latest go proves to be the charm, but noted a number of BFD2 crashes when running older projects in X3, almost always related to adjusting a kit piece parameter while the transport was running. Thinking I'd better work this out before a client asks to revisit an older project. 
 
HTH.
