Adding to the thread here. I've been having this issue for quite some time as well. Every time my mac goes to sleep it crashes. Thankfully I don't use Ableton for live performances, but it's still quite frustrating. Ableton has NOT responded to any of my tickets.

Haven't seen this myself, but I'll pass it on.

Same thing here; Ableton Live 10 Suite crashes when left unattended on MacBook 16, 10.15.7. No problem when working... ?!! Weird!

I was thinking about upgrading to Catalina, but not I'm not sure.

Are there many people in here hos don't have a problem with Catalina and crashing?

Also, does Live 10 works well with Mojave? I have an iMac from 2013 btw :)

Hi @all,

same thing here: Ableton Live 10 Suite (10.1.25) crashes regularly if left unattended on MBP 16'' (after about 1h 15m).
I posted several crash reports but got no response at all...

Using it seems to keep it from crashing - really weird... 10.1.18 was stable...

I have Live 10 on a 2013 MBP running Mojave, works well, hardly ever crashes.

Thank you for the reply! I was about to upgrade to Catalina, but I think I will keep Mojave for now :)

There were a few issues with the initial release version of Live 10 but that all got fixed ages ago. Mojave itself initially did strange things to USB audio on some systems, but again that was sorted out ages ago.

As for Catalina, I’ve yet to have Live 10 crash on me, but I might well be doing things differently to other people - I got into the habit of not letting the computer sleep with a DAW running years ago after some bad Windows experiences.
Live 10 Suite, 2020 27" iMac, 3.6 GHz i9, MacOS Catalina, RME UFX, assorted synths, guitars and stuff.

Live 10.1.30 on macOS Catalina 10.15.7
Crashes every day while unattended.

Purchased the Live 11 upgrade; it crashes on start.
