Fabfilter plugins crashing Cubase 8.5.2 (Win10)

Hey,

fist of all I love your plugins and am a very happy customer!

Unfortunately, suddenly, it seems that the Fabfilter plugins are crashing my DAW (Cubase).
Especially Pro-G and Pro-Q2.
I open the plugin and sometimes it happens almost immediately, sometimes it takes some time or some adjustments on the knobs and then out of nothing Cubase shuts down. Sometimes with the standard Windows error message, sometimes without any error message.

I am using Cubase 8.5.2 32bit host on a Windows 10 Pro 64bit system. I am using the latest 32bit VST3 versions of the Fabfilter plugins.

Everyhting worked well and then suddenly from one day to another, these errors started taking place and it's impossibile to mix like that.

The only thing I did was a update of the graphics driver some days ago. Could it be because of that? My graphics card is an Sapphire HD AMD Raedon 7770 OC (driver says: AMD Raedon R7 200 Series). Other hardware: Intel I-5 2500K CPU, 16GB RAM, Audio-Interface is an RME Fireface UCX.

And I am pretty sure that it only happens with Fabfilter plugins after testing for a while.

I think it's very likely that the updated graphics driver causes the crashes. Could you try to roll back to your previous driver? You can do this using System Restore in Windows.

Most likely disabling graphics acceleration will also fix the crashes, but you won't have very smooth graphics:
