Smooth as hell since the 308 patch here.

X2 is crash-crazy here. Very discouraging. Often, once it crashes I can't open the same project - X2 crashes while trying to load it. The only 3rd party plugs I'm using are EZ Drummer and EZ Keys. That's it. 

I'm getting close to the end of my rope.

Hey - BCnSTL, can you please fire up a thread or two that details the problems you are having?

That way, this community could assist you with getting things stabilized.

Also, make sure that you add your system specifications to your signature, as we use that information in helping folks.

Nice hair cut on your green dude - Is that Joan Rivers?  :)

We will try to help you - many many folks have X2 up and pretty stable - maybe we can get you there too.

Sooo - separate threads and add your specs,

I have 2 computers - an HP i7 desktop, 8GB Ram, 2 SSDs, a Lenovo thinkpad, i7, 4GB RAM SSD.  

Running 64 bit on both. X2 Producer fully patched on both. The same project(s) crash on each computer. I appreciate the offer of help but again, I have a very vanilla setup so if it's something as esoteric as some obscure bit of HW then screw it, I'm done. 
It's 2012 - DAWs should be as stable as word processing apps were 10 years ago, which is to say *very*. Man, I'm sick of this crap.

Interestingly - I've been able to open 2 of the projects in Safe Mode by bypassing V-Vocal *and* an unused instance of TH2. Cool. Moving onward!

Very happy with X2!  I upgraded from 8.5.  After watching the Cakewalk video that describes changes between X1 and X2 I have a much better idea of how to navigate in X2.  Workflow and screen layout are soooooo much better.

Nice work Cakewalk.  You really nailed it!

No problems here. Haven't really put it through its paces yet. I had a few issue on installation but after that it seems rock solid. Running on a sony vaio 64 bit dual core laptop. I'll be recording new project next week so I'll see how that goes. So far I've imported some large work in progress from X1 and the transition has been fine. I really like the new autonation, take lanes, etc. No crashing problems, but 90% of the plug ins, fx and vst I use are native.

Unfortunatly for me the audio engine is playing up more  than X1, although this issue did happen before on times in X1, but now its regular as clockwork, Every second time i stop and start my song with the space bar the audio freaks out and distorts, until i stop and start again using the space bar, it does not matter how many track lines-audio or midi i have, even with just one track line, drove me crazy, so yet again i am not using sonar.  I have reported this in the past in X1 but no joy, no reply from support as i usual for me, so i have given up.
I also have a load more graphics issues, not that their is any point in reporting these also, all i will get is grapics card Problem or everything blamed on my settings in sonar or for the other problem my soundcard settings etc, when the point being i have 4 other Daws without such issues, and i get fed up of doing the same lame troubleshooting, and then i get no further help.
 
Their is more to complain about, and few minor things have improved, but on the whole it seems like i have ended up with the bad bugs getting worse and new ones now happening on top, so on the whole X2 is not as good as X1 bugwise.
 
all up to date with the sonar patches too.
 
Oh well what can i do!

Except for a problem with a Take Lane, that may have been me and not Sonar X2, I haven't had any other problems.
