This may of course be different for another machine so it probably better to use the search method as mentioned above. How to find the key: Search registry for “WaveShell-VST3 9.2_圆4” and you will find the odd key with IgnoreFreeLibrary associated.ĭo not search for AppCompatFlags as it will bring up tons of irrelevant stuff.

Solution – DELETE the registry DATA contained in this key (as highlighted in my screenshot) that relates to your DAW host.

Waveshell will now crash every time it is loaded / used (unless the shell is renamed).

Waveshell gets added to the reg key with “IgnoreFreeLibraries” with reference to Cubase (or whatever caused the crash).

Windows 64 Bit is affected (although it mentioned 8 it can also be 7).

After which, any subsequent load of the Waveshell causes the host (Cubase) to crash. I had already done a clean install of all related applications, Waves, Cubase etc., And also cleaned registry of everything that mentioned Waves before re-installing…įinally I decided to search the registry for WaveShell-VST3… Low and behold the solution – A very odd registry key gets added if the Waveshell crashes. Renaming it back to the original WaveShell-VST3 9.2_圆4.vst3 still causes crashes… What is going on? Waveshell crashes again and now the projects will not load again even with the renamed file, unless it was renamed yet again. I renamed the file to WaveShell-VST3 9.2_圆4_BLAH.vst3 Wow! Success!Īll my projects loaded again… But it is not over yet. This file is found here and this put me on the right path: I found a post related to a different issue that suggested renaming the WaveShell-VST3 9.2_圆4 file.

I am using Cubase here but it could be any 64 Bit DAW host application.

Cubase crashes when inserting ANY Waves plugin into a fresh project.

Cubase crashes when loading a project that contains ANY Waves plugins.

Usually Windows 8 but can be Windows 7 – Must be 64 Bit.

The first step was realising that if I removed the Waves plugins from my system the problem went away.

So I thought this would be worth sharing, as during my search I found many folks with similar trouble and no solution.

The next morning I woke up and with a fresh head, found myself a cure within 30 minutes (based on the research I had done the day before). I re-installed, searched, cleaned, refreshed preferences, you name it, I tried it…ġ5 hours later I was still unable to load any of my projects without Cubase disappearing into the dark depths where all dead project go. Even projects that I was working on the very day before. All my Cubase 7 (64 Bit) projects refused to load without crashing. I had a 15 hour struggle in the studio recently.
