Graphic freeze on playback
New macbook pro 16 inch 32G ram / I9 / 2.3
OS 10.15.4 (what it came with) PT 2020.3.0 No apparent problem with audio playback, but graphics appears to freeze every 5 seconds or so on playback. When this happens the counter freezes and and also the cursor in the edit window freezes. I'm also getting beach balls when doing anything in PT like looking at preferences 2 audio files no plug ins. Changing the buffer doesn't seem to have any effect on this. Sorry if this has already been covered.

Re: Graphic freeze on playback
Same here, 2020.5, Mac OS, I had thought it might be the ProTools update, so I reinstalled 2020.3, but same issue.
However, there was also a recent Mac OS security update, though I did the security update two days ago and didn't notice this behavior until today: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211170 I'm on 10.13.6 so that might narrow it down to some of these fixes listed in there?

Re: Graphic freeze on playback
trashing preferences so far seems to clear it up so far. I'll let you know if it changes

Re: Graphic freeze on playback
sounds a lot like another thread that recommends turning network off(to the outside) due to some odd iLok issue).

Re: Graphic freeze on playback
I have the same issue. Done all the usual like trash prefs, reinstalled, removed 3rdparty plugs... but it's still there. Turning off the network doesn't seem to make any difference. It gets better for 20sec and then the problem is back. Unusable, currently PT is a virtual door stop......
Presumably Ilok is the problem as I updated to 5.2.1 yesterday. Did remove and reinstall but.... Vid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEGZ...ature=youtu.be |

Re: Graphic freeze on playback
Yes, this is exactly what I'm experiencing johan2006 - thanks for posting the video!
It's the first time I've used ProTools in several weeks since I've been giving Reaper a true trial run. This certainly put a crack in my rose-colored lenses! Glad I have a perpetual license because at this rate I may stop renewing my support plan.

Re: Graphic freeze on playback
This is really weird. It seems like everyone is suddenly having this issue today. I did not install the latest security updates from Mac. So I'm not thinking it has anything to do with that. I do wonder if everyone having these problems are using Eucon.

Re: Graphic freeze on playback
I have not updated to Melodyne 5 so that isn’t it.
Also I started up with no 3rd party plugs and still saw the bug. It’s not plugin related.

Re: Graphic freeze on playback
Same here! 2020.5 on Mojave 10.14.6 and latest Security Update. Everything was fine yesterday...today, freezes every 5-seconds. I've trashed prefs, uninstalled and reinstalled ProTools, no dice. I've even swapped to a cloned system drive just to check, no improvement. WTAF?
