The title kinda sums it up, honestly. This has been happening quite a bit over the last couple of days. Sometimes while I'm working on a project, the project will just freeze up, and I can't do anything to it. I've given it time to respond, but it never responded after it froze.
It occurs randomly, and at random severity levels. Sometimes it'll freeze while playing. but the audio will keep playing, and sometimes the entire browser tab will become unresponsive, and I have to kill it when the prompt pops up.
Any advice?
Answers to questions I know I'm going to be asked:
"Did you have any other programs open?"
Yes, but it has never impacted Next in this way before.
Edit: Just noticed that changing browser tabs causes it. I might make a bug report on it unless I can resolve it.
Another Edit: It only happens when changing browser tabs. It does not occur when changing windows for other programs. I can (for example) bring my focus to Discord and the project will still work fine.
YET ANOTHER EDIT: It freezes without the booster, but it can recover when the booster is inactive. When is IS active, the program is permanently frozen.

In my experience, if you activate a different tab in your browser and that tab is loading something or otherwise receiving or transmitting data, this will completely kill Next's performance. I have other tabs open, but they are "static", not doing anything, and they don't seem to disturb Next much. Also, I've experienced degraded performance when using the transport "loop" function, especially on short loops. Playing without loop active seems to be easier on the app. Also, are you using the booster? I found that using it with a moderately big buffer size (1024 in my case) really improved performance.
My other tabs weren't doing anything at the time either.
And yes, I have the booster active. However, I had it on 256 buffer size, so maybe that was it.
Let me know if it works. What I did was to put the play-head on the busiest section of my arrangement, play and try bigger buffer sizes until it didn't glitch or stutter or freeze anymore. 1024 did it for me. I've also found that if playback gets stuck, selecting a buffer size, even if it's the same one, "unstucks" the playback.
Yeah, it does the same thing when I look at new tabs, only it just freezes and I have to reload the page.
Kinda.
No, changing the buffer size does not unfreeze Next.
YES SAME TO ME

Velocistar yes its true it has the same effect its like you have the windows 10 computer
