VCV Rack Plugin crashing MAX 8 and 9

Hi folks, just this week Monday I was using VCV plugin in Max with no problem. Today Thursday, without and updates between now and then, VCV is crashing Max 8 and 9. I have been using OSC and NDI. The only thing I changed between now and Monday was that I tried sending NDI from another laptop (previously I was using it to send video to jitter from another program on the same laptop). Don’t know if this has anything to do with it - but that’s the only difference. Working on Windows 10 with the latest version of VCV Rack 2 Pro. Any ideas?

VCVRack plugin crash also for me in Max 9 on Mac, VST, VST3 or AU plugin, all crash.

Report your crashes with requisite details to support@vcvrack.com: Include exact version numbers of the relevant software (OS, plugin host, involved modules), and Rack log.

Same here. Macbook pro m1 pro, Sequoia 15.5, Max 9.07, current vcv rack pro.

Recovery tip in case anyone got stuck in the same hole I did: I had done a bunch of edits on a huge set and hadn’t saved them before adding in the VCV plugin. After crashing my patch would not open and perma crash max into a non responsive pinwheel hell.

In order to recover my patch I opened it in text mode, found the all the VCV rack elements and removed them. Patch and all other edits recovered successfully. Will report to the email above as well.

Tried to load VCV plug in Max8, no crash here (Win10, VCV2 vst2, Max8 latest). Did not test extensive though (and has no Max9), but simple loading\opening occurs ok here. Tried instrument and FX version.
