DAW crashes when opening Vital v1.5x (all versions): STILL NOT FIXED

Hello!

Mine crashes instantly on my account, running 1.0.7 here with the following hardware:
Ryzen 5 3600
RTX 2060
Ableton Live 11

It crashes on both the standalone and plugin.
I tried on another admin account on my pc, and it works fine.

Any ideas?

Back up your presets and try 1.5.5 install if you can
Otherwise have you reinstalled 1.0.7?
Also check for any graphics /drivers updates if you can

1.5.5 Worked for me, thanks.

Happy to hear!

I wouldn’t go this far. The open sourced version is three years old and the software continued to be produced in closed source form. He also said at the outset he’s not accepting pull request This is EXACTLY the reason why Vitalium is a non-thing. FLOSS community is not a one way street and Matt chose not to participate.

It’s his right, don’t get me wrong. I supported Vital (with not much, a Plus license) because of his decision to open source one version of it, and I am not bashing him for deciding not to participate, but it is fair to say he deliberately chose not to.

Hi bmarkovic.79. Unsure exactly what you’re saying, and it doesn’t help that this convo’s a year old.
In any case, I’m kind of aware of Vital’s ‘odd status’ as ‘kind of closed’ and ‘kind of open source’, but in any case, it’s free. In fact, if you pirate stuff too, then just about everything’s free-- as it should be-- you know, like apples, meat, the sun, soil and the rain. So, what the hell. And so don’t believe the bullshit that some head-up-assers tell you that there’s no free lunch. They just want you to join them too in shoving your head up your ass with them,

How are you enjoying Vital by the way? Is it a glorified sampler or are those waveforms actually composed of proper sine waves? I’m a bit of a purist in some ways I suppose and cannot be bothered by samplers/romplers.

I have yet to really delve into Vital, given my troubles with Windows 11 locking me out of my own computer. Now I have LInux and am about to possibly scrap even a VirtualBox with Windows 11 in it if I can manage some concessions.

Lastly, is it my imagination or has commercial music software development or at least their releases slowed down to a trickle, maybe since the recent AI hoopla?
