I forgot to mention this crash detail, specially if Steinberg reads this:
The crash I had exiting was peculiar:
I save my projects under a new version every 2 hours of work. So
I had Project_14.npr with 24 000Kb. When I exited and N10.3 crashed,
Project_14.npr size decreased to 13 000Kb. When I tried loading it,
Nuendo 10.3 displayed a message saying that I was trying to open a
song from Nuendo 1.xx. Lol! Nuendo 1.xx? Not in my system for the
last 20 years.
So Steinberg, here is the crash:
Step 1. Save As over writing the Project_13.npr version
Step 2. Save As same project over writing Project_14.npr (yes I keep several versions of
the same project)
Step 3. Quit Nuendo 10.3
CRASH: “Program not functioning, Close Program…”
Step 4. Reboot
Step 5. Start Nuendo 10.3 - SAFE mode message displays at Nuendo 10.3 start
Step 6. Load Project_14.
MESSAGE saying this is a Nuendo 1.xx song, cannot Load
Step 7. Click OK on message, and Load Project_13.npr (size is 24 000Kb versus 13 000Kb on the corrupted Project_14.npr)
ALL is well now. No work lost, only reboot time, which is 40 seconds in my case, from a full Restart.
Needless to say, Project_14.npr became corrupt just before the crash.
I hope this helps.
