Pro Tools 11 unresponsive when relinking

[brucewallace]

Hi there, I have a 2017 MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 with Sierra 10.12.6, 16 GB memory, running Pro Tools 11.3.1. Pro Tools has recently started becoming inactive whenever I try to open a session with audio files that need relinking. As soon as I select one of the three relinking options (skip, manual, automatic), it stalls, and quickly becomes unresponsive. Sessions that don't need relinking still run fine.

I've tried opening sessions from an external drive and from the computer's hard drive, always with the same result. I've tried several different sessions, and it's always the ones that need relinking that cause this. The sessions relink and open fine on other computers.

Is this just because of a mismatch between PT and OS version? It relinked with no problem for months with this same configuration.
