Spitfire Audio Labs Crash My LMMS

[SimonJS]

I am having a problem where when I drop the Spitfire Labs VST .dll file into my track, it crashes LMMS. I uninstalled and reinstalled LMMS, and got it to work one time, for about a minute. I then made the mistake of trying to switch instruments in the labs, and it crashed my LMMS again. Now it will only work for 10 seconds max before crashing by itself. What can I do? Should I uninstall and reinstall the labs?
(LMMS works perfectly fine by itself doing everything except running the Spitfire labs)

Dropping the dll is not always the best way.
Try using the Vestige-stub, like in this video:

I uninstalled and reinstalled LMMS,

Here i would like you to confirm that you have lmms 1.2.2?
-But what OS?
-How much RAM

Should I uninstall and reinstall the labs?

Nja.. Labs is a complicated thing. Its not only depending on the dll itself, but also what

patches

you try to use. If either has an issue, you get a crash..

Great to know! I tried that, and got the LABS to work for about 5-10 minutes before they crashed. So, an improvement for sure

Ooh this was a good question, I thought I had the most recent version but I have version 1.1.3... Maybe that is the issue. Windows 10 with 8 gigs of ram

but I have version 1.1.3...

Yes! That is a serious inferior release, especially in respect to VSTs!
Upgrade!

Thank you so much! It seems like that fixed all of my problems, I can't believe I didn't have the most recent version, oops. Thank again for your time and your help!
