Blockhead v0.43.3 alpha
Added 2024-12-30 14:48:06 +0000 UTCUpdate Notes
Update: Added the "--no-maximize" command-line argument which will prevent Blockhead from automatically maximizing the window on startup.
Bugfix: Possible crash if a track is added or deleted while playback is active.
Bugfix: Audio engine is constantly in a "transition" state (resulting in higher CPU usage and possible audio artifacts.)
Bugfix: Linux version will only work if the user happens to have specific boost shared libraries installed on their system.
Bugfix: Erased CLAP plugins are not properly destroyed behind the scenes (basically a memory leak.)
Bugfix: Workspaces are really zoomed in by default.
Bugfix: The floating positions of newly stamped macro blocks aren't calculated properly until the workspace view is zoomed or panned.
Bugfix: Old sandbox logs are not erased.
Non-functional feature added: "Panic" button. This is a keyboard shortcut available in settings which sends a message to all 3rd-party plugins telling them to reset their DSP state, which should kill all active reverb tails and delay feedback, etc. This won't currently work for the majority of CLAP plugins because almost nobody correctly implements the "reset" function for their CLAP plugins. I am currently on an e-mail and bug-reporting crusade to try to convince CLAP plugin developers to fix their plugins so hopefully this will improve over time.

2025-01-02 23:49:41 +0000 UTCI don't know if it would help but one thing you could try is installing the microsoft runtime libraries from here: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe and then try again. Please let me know if it works ok on your PC
