Who knows what the cause is. It isn't universal, if I open a fresh project piano roll view works fine, however if I load a MIDI and open it, Sonar blows up. However it generates a crash log so off to Cakewalk those go. They have a few of them from me now, I imagine they'll be able to figure out what is wrong.

DAMN...now I'm kicking myself for not waiting 6 months for the bugs to get fixed! The loops wouldn't even install because of "file corruption" and X2 just keeps crashing (using Win7)...DOH! (My computer has otherwise  been very stable and X1 ran well.)  Do I need to re-install everything and re-download everything? Or just wait for word from Cakewalk?

I've had 3 crashes so far, in 1 day of heavy use but have never had the fault reporter pop up.  Is there something I have to do to enable it?  I don't remember doing anything to enable it in X1.

One crash was apparently right in the middle of writing the autosave file, since when I tried to open it to recover some work I did right before the crash it was truncated and would not open.

The only external plugs I was using were some older Voxengo plugs, maybe they were the issue?  (Though I didn't have a problem in X1).  Other than that maybe I have a corrupt download/install.  Will keep investigating.

Install Win 7 X64, upgrade to 8 when it comes out. 8 is great.

I second that.  I installed Windows 8 on our 4 computers already.  It's quite a bit faster than Windows 7 (and blows Vista away) on the same hardware.  I agree that its great and definitely a worthwhile upgrade.
 
Sonar X1 and X2 work on it as well.  Of course X2 is crashing on occasion.  X1 is still stable so I am not uninstalling it until a patch for X2 is released.  hopefully that happens very soon!!
I am so looking forward to spending some serious time with X2 but for now, its more of a tease :(  To many times I find my self thinking... "Wow, that is a cool feature.  What!  This ####!! app crashed again and again I lost my work!!".  It sure has me clicking Save a LOT.
 
 

I have had X2 crashing yesterday and today. Yesterday X2 crashed twice (for no apparent reason), partially hanging so that part of X2 was working. So I was able to do a save-as of my project.

Today X2 just crashed, again for apparent reason. When X2 has crashed no Sonar file dump was produced.

Using Win 7 64Bit

Going to update to a new September 2012 graphics driver tomorrow (current driver 2011), see if it makes any difference.
 
Also some lower parts of Pro Channel disappeared from view, yesterday and today, leaving a blank spaces.

Well things seem to be working real well here im doing basic tracking audio and midi and editing, there is no dropouts crash's so far ..so im going back to work, see your system are properly updated !

I'm Running Win 7 64bit and it Crashed a dozen times last night  .... Seems when I selected multible tracks and did some group adjustments on a pro channel module or if I when to another screen set while X2 was playing then it Crashed . I really like X2 but those Crashes gotta get solved bad!

You mean run a win 7 32 bit? or run X2 32 bit
?
