Hello Everyone.
I have been having some stability problems recently with some plugins I have tested and the Plugin Boutique scaler issue was resolved by turning off OPENGL in the plugin settings, something not all plugins allow you to do. I digress but it could be useful information.
Anyway the free plugin from Native Instruments FREAK (current deal with any Purchase from PB) was crashing reaper as soon as it was opened with no option but to click "Wait for application to respond" which it never does , or Close application that also closes reaper. This occurs when I open Reaper, add a single track click FX and then open the plugin, nothing else going on. No scripts , as basic as it gets. I updated my Nvidia drivers to the latest etc to no avail then I stumbled across this post

So I tried opening Freak with Reaper on the Primary display and the plugin works, I can open close open close, drag to the second screen open and close no issues however. If I add the plugin to a track on the second screen , it causes Reaper to crash again.
I dread that absent mindedly I am in the middle of some Reaper project and I open a plugin and I lose all the work.
Any suggestions on a workaround, nature of the issue, where to go next ? Is this a Plugin issue I report to NI, or something Reaper can work around ? It also crashes in Bitwig , but Bitwig just reported the plugin crashed and didnt crash the DAW which would be an excellent bit of resilience Reaper would benefit from. It works in Maschine and Mixbus and screen selection doesnt seem to crash the plugin.
A bit long winded. Sorry, ive spent a lot of head scratching time today so offloading a little. Thanks for your input
