Studio One 7.2.2 crashes when closing FabFilter VST3 plugin windows (Windows 11, Babyface Pro FS)
I’m experiencing a recurring crash issue when using FabFilter plugins in Studio One 7.2.2 (Windows 11, RME Babyface Pro FS, VST3 versions).
Whenever I close the plugin window (for example Pro-Q4, Pro-C2, or any other FabFilter plugin), the DAW sometimes crashes. It doesn’t happen every single time, but it occurs quite frequently.
This problem seems to affect only FabFilter plugins—other manufacturers’ plugins do not cause any crashes when closing their windows.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a workaround?

Hi Phy,
What video card and firmware are you using? Can you see if updating your video card driver to the latest studio driver makes a difference?
If not can you see if disabling graphics acceleration makes a difference?
