    Hey, odd problem, here. I had the Symlink Kontakt portable 5.7.3 and then the AUDITOR version of Kontakt 5.7.3, and in the R2R Ableton 10.0.1, it's crashing anytime I try to start a new Kontakt track. Here's the weird thing... if I load a Live Set that has a kontakt track, it loads fine, it's only when I try to add a new one. Anyone else have this problem? Any idea what it could be? Both versions of Kontakt work fine in Reaper.

    Try deleting the com.native-instruments.Kontakt 5.plist that works for me for on MAC

    sounds more like a Ableton problem since it works on other DAW's. Try deleting Preferences.cfg in:
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live 9.7.5\Preferences
    Then do a new deep scan of the plugins by holding down the ALT key and pressing rescan plugins button inside Ableton

    That's a Mac file, doesn't exist on a PC.

    okay, maybe you downloaded the version that needed this fix:
    Native.Instruments.Kontakt.5.v5.7.3.Incl.Emulator.FiX.ONLY-AUDiTOR

    Tried that, no luck, unfortunately, but thanks. Are other people running Kontakt 5.7.3 in Live 10 with no problems?

    I had the plugin of Kontakt 5.7.3 on Ableton 9.5 version installed and it worked. I have now changed to 5.8.0. So my last advice is to change to
    Native Instruments Kontakt v5.8.0 Symlink UPDATE
    https://audioz.download/software/wi...-instruments-kontakt-v580-symlink-update.html

    I had Ableton 10 installed but changed back to 9.5 because of all the bugs

    Have you blocked Live with a firewall?

    You should try and reinstall Ableton 9.5 cause it sounds like it must be a problem with Ableton 10, but be aware Ableton 9.5 would not open Ableton 10 project files

    I don't know if you're still experiencing this issue, but I can tell you I had the exact same problem. For me, the solution was to change my firewall settings to allow both Ableton and Kontakt to talk to local ip 127.0.0.1

    very old thread...
    But i have exactly the same problem
    W10
    Ableton Live 11
    NI Plugins
    Windows Firewall Controll = Blocked Ableton and Native stuff.

    How can i manage that the apps just talk to 127.0.0.1 and not to the net?

    Thanks and greeting
