I update to GP5 last week and everything has been working so far. I’m just messing around so far, nothing serious. However, today, I had created a new gig and added a couple VST’s and it was all good an hour or so ago. Then I closed GP 5 and fired up Cubase 13.0.4 and messed around for a while and all was ok there. Then I closed Cubase and opened GP 5 again and brought up the previous gig and saved it as a new gig, different name. IT has EZKeys 2 piano, Keys of the 70’s, and Equator 2 piano preset. I was attempting to add HALion Sonic 7 and GP stopped working so I sent that log. Not sure why GP 5 crashed. I’m going to reboot my computer and try going directly to GP 5 and add HALion Sonic to see if I can add it and load a preset. Hopefully the crash log makes it to the devs to take a look. Thanks!
The culprit is probably a faulty plugin. Have a look here:
It’s time to post here your first GP5 crash log! 
Link: How to post a crash log on Windows
That will show the culprit.
Thank you for the replies. I just clicked the Send Report button, thinking that would automatically capture a log. If I get another crash I will follow the instructions.
I suspect I did not leave quite enough time between closing Cubase and opening GP and maybe the audio device, UR44C was in a state or Cubase had not yet released it. I did check services and GP was left orphaned probably trying to startup, so I decided to reboot. No problems after rebooting. All is good.
I lean more towards Windows or other running processes as being the issue. This was on a lower end Dell Inspiron 3583 laptop Intel(R) Core™ i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.00 GHz with 16GB ram which is just my test system as it is usually on. I use it just for recording ideas as it has dropout issues even though I have optomized what I can and have Process Lasso running. I still get dropouts when I layer some presets of Equator 2, Falcon 3, Pigments 5. My studio desktop can handle the same project with the same vsts without dropouts. GP5 has not crashed on my studio system.
I reached out to David with this and got the message that i should post it here
"I have a rather serious problem..
Gig performer crashes on startup
Somtimes it starts on second or third attempt.
today it startes and worked o.k. on the sixth attempt
And sometimes some rackspaces does not work as they should..
And with only 8 days left to a major gig
My nerves are on the outside of my body…
Unfortunately im in our rehearse facility …with no internet ..
So i loaded the last three crash reports on a usb drive so that i can mail them..
but to do that i do need a mailadress
Is there anything else you need ?
hopeing for a answer
Mikael Svensson
oh yes.. im on a windows Machine
and yes… i’m new to the community and this is my first post,
so i could not attach the crashreports
Please ZIP it and try now.
You are a legit user and I have increased your permissions.
Presumably this has not always been happening so as well as uploading your crash reports, can you think about what might have changed. Did you add a new plugin? Update your OS? Change any hardware?
I have been “fiddling” with G.P. for a couple of years now and the only “change” is that i now felt confident enough to make a complete setlist for a new show next wednesday… so the setlist has been filled up song by song and after about 17 or eighteen songs gp crashed for the first time, but started o.k. second try.
yesterday i was up to 22 songs and it crashed.. and crashed.. and started, but with no sound from the “thor” synth ( propellerhead)… so restart…
3 more crashes and it started fully functional.
i’m by no means skilled with the windows system
so i do hope you can help me sort out what’s going wrong
(i’m running short of time both working daytime and setting my rig up fo the gig)
i wish you good luck finding “the glitch”
and have a nice day

Someone on our team will investigate as soon as possible.
Yes please.
Your Korg WAVE STATION is what crashed
<ExceptionModule>C:\Program Files\VstPlugins\KORG\WAVESTATION.dll</ExceptionModule>
So if i manage to get gp going and remove or replace the wavestation with something else, that would hopefully fix it ?
@Mikael
According to the logs you are using Wavestation v2.2.0.0 (VST2).
I would suggest upgrading to the latest version v2.4.2.0,
or even better, change to the VST3 revision.
Please do the above and update back if the crash has been gone.
Just hold down SHIFT key while starting and uncheck the “load last gig” option from the startup dialog. Then you can disable that plugin using the plugin manager, then quit and start again.
I’ve disabled “load last gig” so gp always starts with a clean slate…
Thanks for the tip about plugin manager..
a bit late reply, but i’ve been quite busy and havn’t had the time to update the wavestation plugin, or finding out all system specs, but… on the bright side, if GP starts, nothing else unpleasant happens (at least not so far) and at the gig it started without any hassle and we performed the gig flawlessly. and thanks for an awe inspiring tool for musicmakeing.
