As the title says: Works perfectly on Mac but not on W10…it simply won’t start on W10. I tried un-installing and re-installing twice and restarting, but no luck. It’s not running in the background – it simply won’t start. All other audio apps work fine. Here’s my setup:
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (most recent version), i9 10920x 12-core 4.8gHz, 128 g RAM, GT-710 video, RME AIOe interface.
Any recommendations?
Check for the Rack log.txt file in the Rack user folder (within Documents). Does it get created, if so there might be relevant information in there. Otherwise check the Windows Event log.
Make sure the video driver is up-to-date. Temporarily try without the audio interface connected to see if the problem is related to that.
Thanks Paul. The Event Viewer shows this every time I tried to start VCV. Do you have any idea what it points to?

That’s a generic memory fault error message. So we know it’s trying to start. Do you have a log.txt in your Rack user folder that’s found within the Documents folder? What do you have in your Rack2\plugins folder?
There’s nothing in the plugins folder yet. Here’s the log.txt file. Could be VB-Audio or Dirac, possibly? Neither are in actual use at this time.

I tried disabling everything except my RME, which I need in order to hear audio on this computer. I might just be out of luck with VCV at this point, unless something changes in a revision. At least it works (like pretty much everything does, hahaha) on my Macbook, but I would far prefer it on my main Windows DAW.
Ah! I saw that ASIO4ALL makes it not work, so I uninstalled that and everything is good now. Unfortunately I need ASIO4ALL for other reasons, but at least I know what the issue is.
I can’t use asio4all with Rack. It just crackles too much; never pursued the issue since I am happy with Windows wasapi. But I didn’t have to uninstall asio4all from my PC.
[Solved] I had problems with the new vcv 2.0.3 on windows 10. I updated the Microsoft visual C++ Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Docs then made a new install and till now it s working fine.
Good to see you got it fixed on your windows machine.
Could you please mark the thread title with: [solved] at the front ?
