FL studio crashes when trying to load a saved .fst plugin instance after any change with AI. And projects saved after AI is activated are crashing FL too. Crash log: ```auto FL Studio (24.2.2.4259) [Apple Silicon] r37347 has encountered an error and needs to restart. Crash log saved to /Users/andrey/Documents/Image-Line/FL Studio/Support/Logs/Crash/ folder. Please use Cmd+C to copy this message and report to support. OS Version: MacOS latest Version 15.3.1 (Build 24D70) Exception: EAccessViolation - Access violation - main thread Callstack: 00000000000951CC: OsxFL 00000000000956F8: OsxFL 000000000001821C: OsxFL 00000000000186B0: OsxFL 00000000000009C4: OsxFL 000000000002BDB0: OsxFL 0000000000000050: OsxFL 00000000000006CC: OsxFL Modules: OsxFL: /Applications/FL Studio 2024.app/Contents/MacOS/OsxFL ``` I double-checked and this is the only crash log I get every time. And FL only crashes with PB4 after activating the AI button once (this action changes something) and after that it doesn’t matter if it’s activated or not - it just crashes. FL doesn’t crash after opening PB4 in Plogue Bidule and saving the project. ---

After saving and reopening PB4 instance with the locked MIDI output the lock button deactivates and all notes are reset to C3. ---

Just to clarify, is this crash occurring only with FL Studio, or does it happen in standalone mode as well, and with any other DAWs, if applicable? ---

This crash occuring with VST3 after activating AI button, saving .fst file or FL studio project (which contains .fst files) and opening .fst files or project (which opens .fst files as plugin instances). It is not applicable to a standalone version and I don’t use other DAWs. It happens with the latest version too. ---

Hi, I am encountering this Error message when reopening project files in FLStudio 24 (latest version) the project sometimes loads after clicking OK, but PB4 will then not open within the project. ![Screenshot 2025-03-11 025822](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/audiomodern/original/1X/cb3b1f8140f0bfc215497210d3f257c47e24500f.jpeg) ---

Hi @kcd , this issue was addressed in earlier versions. Have you tried using the latest 4.0.7 version? If the problem persists, could you share a crash log with us? ---
