I have checked that and I have really installed only 64-bit version of Addictive Drums.

I have also found, that the crash is random and is the report of last error:

I would like also notice, that while Sonar X2 is trying to open project with Addictive Drums before it crash,  the hard disk works intensively.

Do you now if there are any debug tools for Sonar X2, so I can find out what is the problem myself?

I contacted cakewalk support 3 days ago, but I have not any response yet :(. That is quite disappointing, usually I get fast response from product support. 

Did you manage to solve it? I think I have similar problem with my projects loading 4-5 min. and sometimes crash. I was wondering what can cause this as it shouldn't be this way, and I always use AD. Please let me know! It's been a real pain in the neck...

If you used the Online Installer then there will be 2 instances of 
AD on you Plugins list...they won't be identified.  It will just show AD
twice.

One is the 64 bit and one is the 32 bit.  

I recommend excluding the 32 bit from your list with the Plugin Manager, just so
you don't use it accidentally.  Or rename it in the List to AD 32 bit.


You'll have to trace the plugin path so you know which is which, as it won't indicate
which is which.

Another important thing is to not have both X2 and AD on the same hard drive.
That will cause problems also.  The program will have to work extra hard and may
crash due to that.  Keep programs on one drive and instruments and sounds on another.

Barring those things I don't know....

I use it on Win 8 64 bit with Quadcapture 1.5.1 and X2a without issue all the time...
they reside on different drives...

I'd also run the XLN Installer to make sure everything is up to date...

Hi,
 
I got answer from XLN at their support forum:
"I'm happy to say that our developers seem to have found the cause of these issues. This is an error on Sonar's side, and we have reported it to them. In the meantime we have built a new "Addictive Drums.dll" that includes a fix for this issue.

Please download this zip and use the "Addictive Drums.dll" to replace your current 64-bit DLL (check the Advanced page in the Online Installer if you're not sure where the current DLL is located):

http://xlnaudio.usa.s3.amazonaws.com/ad ... 64-fix.zip

Please note that if you run the Online Installer after replacing the DLL, the Online Installer will say that Addictive Drums needs repair. If you let it repair, it will put the original DLL back. This fix will be included in the next Addictive Drums update, and then you can of course let the Online Installer update/repair your installation.

Oh, and here's the same fix for Addictive Keys:
http://xlnaudio.usa.s3.amazonaws.com/ad ... 64-fix.zip"

this is a little confusing that XLN says sonar admits that its their fault, but yet we have built a whole new .DLL ?
Id love to hear the explanation behind this one.
 

As goofy as that explanation sounds, it may well be something like that.
 
I know that there have been occasions where Sonar has altered their code to deal with faulty plugin logic from some 3rd-party plugin.
 
And, I use Brainspawn's Forte performance VST Host software, and they did the same kind of thing because the folks at Presonus had used some completely off the wall field for passing some bit of data back and forth.  They were actually kind enough to change THEIR code to handle a deficiency in the Presonus driver code.
 
So, it can and does happen.  Did it this time?  Who knows?

I find it completely odd that I use AD constantly without issues and without
this "Patch"....and Addictive Keys as well with no issues...and no crashes...

I'm with Chuckebaby...I want to hear the "whys" of this one...
If it's Sonars fault (maybe coding) they may have found a workaround to
address the coding...but still, this sounds highly suspect to me...
