This morning, I updated to the new Waves V15 and vMix began crashing immediately when opening my project file, without even popping up with an error or ability to report. The entire program just vanishes. Rolling back to Waves V14 fixes the issue. They might just need a bit more time to fix some glitches. If you already updated Waves, here's how I fixed it:In Waves Central, click Settings → go to Maintenance → Uninstall → V15 Plugins Then follow these instructions: https://www.waves.com/support/how-to-roll-back-to-waves-v14These are the specific Waves plugins I'm using (not all at the same time) so any of these could be causing the error: - L3-LL Multi
- WLM Plus
- Vocal Rider Live Stereo
- F6
- C6
- Silk Vocal Live
- NS1

Update: I was able to get Waves V15 plugins to work. BEFORE updating any Waves plugins, manually go through every input in your vMix project that uses a Waves plugin and remove those plugins from the audio effects list. Update to Waves V15, and then manually add the plugins back to each input using the V15 WaveShell VST.
I've updated Waves before without having to do this manually but it seems that changing to V15, while the old versions are still in your project file, interferes with vMix and causes it to crash.

If you use ANY Waves audio plugins, and this week your vMix is...
Suddenly crashing on open...
Vanishing when opening a (previously working) project...
Showing a vMix error about trying to access corrupted or protected memory and then closing...
It's likely that someone updated your Waves plugins to the latest version but because your vMix project is still looking for the old plugin versions, everything falls apart.
To avoid this, manually remove ALL Waves plugins from your vMix project BEFORE updating Waves. You can save your settings as presets before removing the plugins, so it's faster to manually add them back after.
If you didn't do this before updating, follow these steps:
• From the Waves Central program, uninstall ALL Waves plugins (of every version)
• Reboot PC
• Open your vMix project. All of the Waves plugins should be gone.
• Close vMix. From Waves Central, install the latest versions of your plugins.
• Manually add the new Waves plugins back to each input.
Hope this saves someone from a headache.

Thank you for this. I was bit by this issue today. I rolled back my plugins to V14, problem solved. I will eventually go through the hassle of removing all the plugins from my inputs, updating Waves, then manually readding them back into vMix, but this is too much effort for today. :)
