Default So How is 2018.12 working for you ?

This is not a thread complaining about a lack of new features...

I installed Protools 2018.12 using a clean install on Win 10 (Build 1809). Over the course of a few hours I had 2 crashes: (i) when I tried to setup my Command 8 midi controller I got an access violation error (bunch of zeros in the error message) required reboot, (ii) hard crash during mixing of a 16 audio track / 3 VI project - machine completely locked up.

I have gone back to 2018.7 - the most stable version I have used over the past several years. Indeed, 2018.7 has never crashed on my current system.

Configuration: 8700K, Asus Prime A, 32 G Ram, Motu 1248, Win10, Pro Tools 2018.7, Waves Gold + HEQ, Kontakt Komplete 10.

No serious complaints here. Actually, pretty darn solid.

It definitely has more lag with Mojave than PT 2018.7 had with High Sierra. No crashes yet. Video engine stayed active -- no disruptions -- which is good news. If the lag continues I'll head back to 2018.7 which was the most solid in recent months.

So then maybe it's related to PT 2018.12 and not the OS. I suppose I could go back to 2018.7 and see what happens.
