i'm having problems running a max for live device from the basic package that comes with ableton suite packs

the problem is kind of serious , i can load the device and it is working fine , but when i load a project with the device in it ,

the RAM usage of ableton live process is rising endlessly until i click the Envelope Follower device , just select it.

if it's not selected in a few minutes the system will became unstable , as ableton live process will take 6 GB of RAM...

if i seelect , or even see the device on screen , the memory consumption stops immediately...

there is this error message in the max for live console:

jit.gl.render , setup:Gl Error: invalid operation

and warnings , couldn't create context, trying without... fsaa/depthbuffer/double buffering

i'm using Windows 8.1 64Bit and all software is up to date and 64bit ,

and video card is Nvidia GF 730 , that was recently installed after a GF 500 that was doing the same error,

so 2 video cards, so it's not a hardware related problem.

i was contacting ableton for support for some time but they couldnt find a solution

i can say that other then the error and the memory problem it is working, both in max4live and in max , i can render in max ...

but i dont have too much experiance with the jit.gl environment so i dont really know how too check it deeply.

could it be a 64/32 bit problem ? quicktime related? any other software?

any info on the subject will be greatly appreciated , since it's such a great device and i guess there are other devices that will give the error. i need to fix this...

hi NAAMAN, we are aware of this issue and are looking into it.

and maybe there is something I can do to solve it on my side?

Good to know , thanks
Can you share some info on the cause ,

Hi Rob, any updates on this issue? thanks

Moi! I encountered same issues although i couldnt isolate the problem as you did. My max window keeps getting filled with those git.glt error messages. I actually though the problem came from the granulator II device but i'll check if it is the envelope follower causing the trouble for me as well.

Anybody found some workaround yet ? This scares me for live situations :-(

hey guys, thanks for the reports. we've got this sorted out and the fix will be in a forthcoming update.

unfortunately the only workaround i'm aware of is to make sure that tracks containing a device with a pwindow (e.gl. LFO, envelope follower) are displayed when the set is opened.
