Offline (and online) is a nightmare for me.

Try doing offline one track at a time and see if that's okay. If it is then that would say Play is NOT the issue. Are you using one instance of Play with one instrument or multiple instruments in a single instance of Play? The only time I use multiple instruments in a single Play instance if I am using different articulations of the same instrument (say trumpet).

Offline/online - no problem. This might well be something with your system.

Offline/Online same problem for me. But it seems compounded when doing offline. In certain instances offline is better (no crash) but much slower.
I'll get this with only ONE play instance believe it or not and offline CRAWLS to 0.7% ??!!
But then it's out of sync...

So I'm stuck. And constantly bouncing out offline is no way to compose.

UPDATE: Oddly enough I was able to offline bounce a passage that could throw the error in realtime... Odd. But I still have the syncing/delay problems that come with offline (I hven't even touched that yet- I have too many issues already with CPU).

Yes, I'll use different articulations of one instrument. But even then- one articulation can break it if I put a dense enough passage in there. Sometimes even straight 8ths will break it.

Never had a sync/delay issue with offline bounce.

I have a system that's way less powerful than yours and I have yet to have the problems you say you're having. I'm working on a score for In The Hall Of The Mountain King and some of the strings parts get very frenetic/dense (try 32nd notes and then some) and my system is barely breathing hard.

My system isn't breathing hard at all- it's about 10-15% CPU but Pro Tools is stupid.

HD 11.3 seems a tiny bit better but I've still had this error in online playback for no obvious reason at all, when CPU usage is still minimal.

I've not been very successful to date with 32nd notes... this sucks.

What engine setting are you using in PLAY?

[notedmusic]

Just for the record 11.3 didn't solve this for me.

[notedmusic]

I still get this error with 90% CPU left over, especially when adding new instruments during playback or randomly during playback.

Offline doesn't work for me!!!! :O

Is it supposed to break every time I add a new instrument even with 90% free CPU?!

I haven't installed the new ProTools update 11.3 yet. Uninstall your current Play engine/update - then reinstall it.
