My guess is that if you really want to have the problem solved you’ll need to be a bit more specific. If the trigger of the crash was as simple as you say it is pretty much all of us would have the same problem. I have 10.3, I run more than 1 instance of Insight 2 (up to three at a time), I don’t have a problem having more than one other plugin open and I don’t crash when I instantiate plugins. Well, it doesn’t really seem to be a Nuendo problem to me. This doesn’t work for me but it sums up how terrible steinberg have been at trying to fix this problem. It’s a joke that a lot of Cubase users have now got a fix of inserting Soundtoys microshift on the control room insert to prevent crashes from inserting/opening plugins. I’m just begging for some sort of solution or at least acknowledge this widely occurring problem. The much looked down upon ProTools on the other hand has been my saving grace and been absolutely solid for this entire lockdown period - not one issue.

This seriously needs fixing, I literally cannot run projects in Nuendo due to the crashes and freezes. This is clearly a massive issue and steinberg are turning a blind eye to it.

What angers me most is the fact this is a clear issue that runs back to Cubase 10.5 and I haven’t seen a single response from any steinberg staff across ALL the complaints and forum posts. Other than running at it’s most basic function as a DAW in playing, recording and editing audio most things cause a crash with Nuendo for me. Opening up more than 2 modules on Insight 2 causes a crash.

Opening up more than 1 plugin at the same time alone triggers a crash.
