Hi all, Just took the plunge to X2P from 8.5P and I'm setting up my track templates but when I try to assign a buss I crash. once I restart I can do the assignment but only if its the first thing I do after restart.
I did a quick forum search but did not see anything. Anyone hear of this?
I'm running winXP

By assigning, do you mean changing the outputs or setting up a send?
 
Maybe, it's time for Windows 7 (or 8).

If you have not applied the QuickFix, you might want to give it a shot. It helped stabilize X2 Producer.

X2 is not supported on Windows XP. 
 
"Minimum system requirements

Windows 7 or Windows 8 (32 and 64-bit). XP and Vista are no longer officially supported. Future updates will not be compatible or install on XP and Vista as they are no longer officially supported."

Yes, unfortunately X2 was not built for XP. If you have the A patch installed try reverting back to the Quickfix as scook mentioned or the original release. The bakers said that after the A patch XP will be officially dropped as far as support and highly advised an OS update.
 
Other than that try upping your buffers. May sound weird but I've found even seemingly unrelated things like this work more reliably if you crank up your buffers. Only turn them down when you are actually tracking and require low latency.

I believe you have it a little twisted. X2 was never supported on XP. There was some confusion about updates well before X2a was released by a former Cakewalk staffer which was clarified by Cakewalk. X2a will not install on XP.  The last and only patch that will install on XP is the QuickFix.

Didn't know XP is not supported. The install went smoothly. The crashes seem to be the only issue so far.
I think I have a copy of Win7.
I did not run the quickfix, It looks like it addresses my issue.
Thanks for the helpful replies!

Yeah, sorry. Brainfart. I meant the A patch was not supported on XP (I didn't know it would not install at all). They did say in a couple threads IIRC they would still offer support for XP users on X2 but it was probably in an unofficial capacity. They did however make a serious point of urging people to upgrade their OS though.

That is true. The fact that the product is not supported on a platform does not mean the tech support group will refuse to help someone with a problem or that the product will not work on the platform.

I second this motion.
 
Sends are terribly broken for me and I'm on Windows 7. My default template has 4 sends per track and every time I try to reconfigure a send it goes completely crazy and reassigns the wrong selection. Many fiddly clicks later and I might get what I want. If I'm lucky.
 
It's enough to make me demo some other DAW's sadly because I started on analogue desks and the send is a key component that has to work quickly and accurately.
 
Funny how one little headache can be such a frustration. Guess the creative flow is a cruel taskmaster at times...
