After searching online for info others have on Helix Native crashing DAWs, I found very little on the subject.
On my older desktop rig, Helix Native runs fine in my DAWs (Cubase, Reaper and Cakewalk by Bandlab).
However, on my newer MSI laptop, Helix Native worked ok for a good while, like a couple of weeks of running it every day, and then for no apparent reason, started to crash when attempting to open it on an already existing track, or when trying to load a new instance on a track. Projects saved with Helix Native previously added would open, and Helix Native would work, as long as I didn't click on the Helix Native to try to open it to make a patch change or something. The DAW (it didn't matter which one) would instantly crash.
I did several uninstall-reinstalls of Helix Native, and of Reaper and Cakewalk. I did registry edits to delete helix native entries there after uninstalling.
The problem remains.
Again, it is interesting that my desktop has never had a problem. It's an older Asrock MB Z87 board running a core i7 with 16gb ram. The laptop is a newer core i7 running 32gb ram.
The DAWs all work as they should on both computers.
Out of all the other guitar plugins I use (Amplitube, Guitar Rigs, and TH3, I like the basic sound of Helix Native the best, like the amp emulations.
I am doing more mobile sessions and need to have Helix Native run on the laptop.
Any suggestions or solutions? Maybe get an older version of Helix Native? I'm trying to use the latest one (3. something).
Thanks
