    Dear god, no!

    Traktor would never officially announce such a thing in public (no software company ever would!)
    However, the Native Instruments Support team recommended that I downgrade to version 2.6.8 (specifically). NI-support gives these advices on individual basis only, whenever users encounter problems that can’t be fixed with other known solutions. I got the advice after trying all other possible fixes, like the system optimization(https://www.native-instruments.com/en/support/knowledge-base/show/3671/windows-78-tuning-tips-for-audio-processing/) and the check for corrupt audio files with MP3Val (https://www.native-instruments.com/en/support/knowledge-base/show/988/traktor-crashes-caused-by-corrupt-audio-files).

    scanning Native-Instruments, and various Digital DJ forums and article comments I have read numerous suggestions to roll back, and version 2.6.8 was named various times. Version 2.6.8 appears to be known as a stable version, so it’s a sort of fail-safe, rather then a solution.

    the reason I’m asking is to know whether I am just one unlucky guy, or if there is a whole bunch of people on the same boat. I don’t want to be that guy that creates a large fuss due to his own biases, but I do get the feeling there’s more people with the same issues. If the latter is the case, a collaborative appeal to look into this might help…

    @DJ Vintage: thanks, i’ll email them directly.


    @Kenny     & Tom;
    I don’t think there’s one clear problem, but rather a number of Traktor users on Windows systems that have been experiencing stability issues. For a lot of people who are experiencing these types of problems (lag, crashes, glitches) version 2.6.8 seems to work better. From what I gather from NI-Support there doesn’t seem to be one general problem, and they have not been able to reproduce the mentioned problems inhouse and therefore haven’t really found a solution yet. When I contacted them they sent me a tool with which they can read logs on my computer about the crashes, and their solution was to downgrade.

    So; there apparently is no singular issue, but there is a standard workaround, which i really dislike.

    The ‘forced’ part in the title is a little subjective, in retrospect; i feel forced to downgrade, because having the slightest idea that my system isn’t stable renders it effectively useless for gigs (I DON’T want anything to happen during a gig).
