Steve Patrick Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I have a default template setup with my usual starting point of instruments and tracks for projects. Recently Cake has been crashing when trying to load Superior Drummer three during loading the Default template. If I start up in safe mode and don't load SD3 I can then load any project that does have SD3 and it loads up fine. But not from the template. I've recreated the template and saved it as cwp file and can load that so I'm still able to have a workaround but even when I re-save the cwp as a template in the proper folder Cake still crashes on startup when it hits SD3. Anyone else seeing this or can offer me a clue?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try adjusting ExceptionHandlingSeverity in the Initialization File if you're not getting a dump now. It might be a combination of things going on in your template as well. I can't reproduce your problem with Superior Drummer 3 alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Patrick Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Will try and get you a dump file if and when it happens again. This is a template I've had for years and this has never happened before. What should I change in the ExceptionHandlingSeverity and what does that do?

Jonathan Sasor Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 adding "ExceptionHandlingSeverity" into the Initialization File section of the Preferences lets you adjust how aggressive Cakewalk's error handling is. 1 is normal, and 7 is what you'd want to set it to if you're trying to troubleshoot something and it's not catching a dump file already.

Steve Patrick Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Now...even though I've built a new "Default" template and loaded it in the proper folder and applied all changes, and checked on startup load the Default template...several times...Cake loads a "blank project" on startup instead of my template. When it does crash on opening...always when loading "synth data for Superior Drummer 3" the screen strobes many times between Cake's track view and the desktop before finally just hanging with the spinning blue circle until I have to shut it down. Guess I'll just get used to loading up my "Default" cwp everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
