Reason crashing

[DNGmaestro]

The new version of Reason started freezing quite a few times on me. I already lost long work a couple of times because of time.
It happens mostly when the pc goes to sleep with reason turned on, then i wake it up again.

I've been using reason for more than 15 years now and this has never happened before. I don't even remember when reason crashed on me before this new update.

Is this happening to more people ?

Which devices do you use? Any VSTs? Reason only without any devices in hybernation mode? Always remember, that VSTs and RE are not part of Reason, so please try to be more precise and we can help.

Its quite common in my experience, that a lot of devs do not test their stuff with hibernation/sleep mode of the computer - and they should, because it shows some weak spots in their applications.

I remembered a beta of a RE, where the dev was looking quite a long time to find a bug only happening in suspended->wakeup phase. He didnt wanted to release it without a fix. Cudos to this dev. Wish there were more devs like this!

I developed the habit of compulsively hitting CTRL+S every fifteen minutes. Otherwise, change your power settings so it doesn't sleep.

Reason never crashed for me, with or without vsts. Now it sometimes crashes when the pc goes into sleep mode. With or without vsts.

If you're working on music and you intend to put the computer to sleep, save and exit the program. I wouldn't expect any DAW to restore properly from sleep tbh. It's just a bad idea!

Agrre to this. Dont do it, if you have important work. As i alrady said, most programs cannot handle it properly and after a few "suspends" the system (apps) is unusable and need to restart. Even MS Office Apps cannot survive a few supsends...

More likely to be ASIO drivers than Reason, but I'm not a dev so I can't say for sure.

There are so many USB drivers that are absolutely horrible with suspend/resume. If it's an ASIO driver for a USB interface, I'd expect nothing but problems.

My last gfx board died after...hum...was it Reason 9.5 updated? Not sure, but just a few days after the updated the screeen just went black and blue screens from time to time. And after a few weeks the system would not boot up anymore. It was just bad timing or Reason was too hardocre with my gfx board

That doesn't stop them
a) fucking up
b) being bypassed by a new graphics card.
