pro tools 2020 crashes when opening session

[Dickerson]

I have the same issue...no problems on 2019...as soon as I upgraded (ha ha ha ) to 2020 the database 11 session not saving, crashing randomly started. Installed 2020.3....to see if that would help...it's worse. Crashes all over the place...on open, on exit, on save new session for the first time....its beyond a joke....Avid, if you are reading this, you need to issue a stable patch for this crap ASAP.

I just installed 2020.15 new update, hoping the best (I had a bad experience with 2020.3) as Avid specified crash on quit while launching a session was fixed.

Nothing changed at all, same crashes on every session I try to open.

And to make things worse, Avid apparently disabled access to download 2019 versions, so impossible to downgrade.
Or someone could help me to find the secret link ?

Avid Download Center perhaps?

Same exact problem here. Does anyone know where to download 2019? Thank God we found this thread. Thought we were going nuts.

Just found this, 2019.6 here:

I found the solution to my endless crashes with PT2020. The issue seems to come from Bluecat's patchwork (plugin version). I moved it from the plugin folder and the sessions could open at last.
I updated that plugin too, but it didn't fix the issue..

So at this point, and in my case, there is to choose between Patchwork and PT2020.
