AudioGridderSever (via Wine/CrossOver) crashes all the time trying to load any plugin in AudioGridder on a Mac.

[Legosi13]

Long story short, I'm trying to get strictly Windows only VSTs but to no avail. My setup consists of an Intel macOS Ventura host using either Wine-Stable or CrossOver to deploy the server side of hosting the VSTs.

Launching it with just about any Windows VST takes down the entire AudioGridderSever application and until you quickly manage to close it, go through a crash/launch loop. I sadly had not saved a log, flatout giving up after running around a lot for the same, crash-y results.

Am I the only one encountering these crashes? Any and all help or even just info would be greatly appreciated!! God bless!!

i think you are missing the point of audio gridder.
While AudioGridder is brilliant for offloading DSP, running the Server component via Wine/CrossOver to host Windows VSTs on a Mac host is a triple-layer cake of instability.

You have the macOS kernel, the Wine translation layer, and the AudioGridder process all trying to manage shared memory and audio buffers simultaneously.
The most stable method is to move the Server to a dedicated environment rather than a wrapper.
Instead of Wine, use Parallels or VMWare.
If you are deadset on using WINE/crossover Ensure you are using the 64-bit version of Wine and the 64-bit AudioGridderServer. Mixing 32-bit and 64-bit in a Wine prefix is a recipe for disaster.
