I may be posting something that is already known. I updated to 4.0.43. I have Cubase Pro 10.5.12 with 3 monitors. VST Connect SE always opens on monitor #2, and as soon as it opens, it either freezes with a blank white screen, or I occasionally do get the normal screen with video and then it freezes. It crashes all of Cubase, and I have to go to task manager and “end task” (where Cubase usually shows as “not responding.”) If I turn off all my monitors other than monitor 1, it seems to work fine. If I get it working, and then turn on my other monitors, it continues to work fine until I move it to a different monitor. Then the whole thing freezes. It may have something to do with the video, because it does not freeze immediately, but rather after I click the video icon at the bottom.
I saw a number of other posts where others complained of freezing, and the the suggestion is to wait for 4.0.44. I just wanted to post that it may have something to do with multi monitors and/or video.
If it helps, I have a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 camera, and an AMD Ryzen 3900x CPU with X570 chipset, graphics cards is a Sapphire RX 5700XT Pulse (AMD Radeon).
Thank you for all your detailed hints. I need more
Let’s try to find a really simple one to reproduce your crash(s). HiDpi for Cubase is enabled? Which Monitor is able to run HiDp? You are opening the VST Connect SE Editor on Monitor #2 and it will crash? Or is it fine until you are opening the “standalone video view”?
I don’t know what HiDpi is. If I open it on Monitor 2, it crashes. If I turn off the monitor 2 and open it my main monitor (monitor 1), it works fine. If I have both monitors on, it works fine as long as all frames are on monitor 1. I clicked the video icon on the bottom for standalone video, and it started to open a video box on monitor 2, but the box is all white (except for the frame that says “VST Connect SE”) and all of Cubase freezes.
Thank you for the suggestion but it did not fix. I noticed that if I turn off all monitors besides my main one, I can start VST Connect and I can start a standalone video. Then, I can turn on my other monitors and drag the video frame around to them. However, once it anchors to the VST Connect frame, if I then click on the button to open the stanadlone video again, it opens on monitor 2 and freezes.
