Topic: Pianoteq 8.2 crash (Windows 11, ASIO4ALL)
Just bought and installed Pianoteq 8.2 Stage. I'm using ASIO4ALL because that's the only low-latency option I have available (WASAPI was not good enough). I got a crash after a few minutes of usage. A dialog box appeared with the following message:
---------------------------
Pianoteq STAGE v8.2.0/20240115 CRASH (ctrl-C to copy)
---------------------------
SEH exception caught, code=c0000005
Ctx{e4f2cd84=140000000,,,,,}
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Before the dialog box appeared, I heard a pop and then white noise that started increasing in volume. Then dialog box, and after closing it Pianoteq closed as well. I wasn't pressing any keys on my MIDI keyboard.

No one seems to have had this problem on the interwebs. I hope someone here knows what's up. I can provide more system details if needed.
