I love Scaler 2 but it crashes my LogicPro usually within 5 minutes of using it. I can’t find a particulr series of events that crash th esysytem, it seems random but consistent. Any helpout there. How do I upgrade scaler 2 (2.2.0) to 2.6?

Hi, and welcome.

I’m a PC person, but if you search the board for ‘logic pro crash’ there are many entries, and you may find one (and probably a solution) that fits your situation.

Search button is top right corner.

Welcome to the forum, Christoph and the world of Scaler.  
Scaler and M1 do not quite get along on all systems. This is a known issue, has been worked on but is still not perfect. One thing you can try is running Scaler under rosetta as it seems to help some people. Also disable Open GL for Scaler as that is an issue on some systems. A quick search will show that.  
To update just login to your plug-in boutique account and under the Scaler download will show the various versions. If you don’t see it right away just click on the version number to see the list.

> Hi @chrissm sorry to hear about the ongoing issue. You could try to disable the OpenGL rendering and see if it improves: You can disable OpenGLRendering from the ScalerSettings application. MacOS: Press CMD+Space to open the Spotlight Search and type “ ScalerSettings ” Go to the Help page and click “Turn OFF OpenGL”: Also, would you mind sending me the crash log next time it happens?
