Logic 9.1.7 OSX 10.8.2 exs24 crashing logic

Question

I'm using Logic 9.1.7 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I'm trying to open a session that has a exs24 instrument that is missing an audio file. The session crashes once it tries to load the exs24 channel. The reason I know that the missing file in the exs24 instrument is causing the crash is because I had another session with the same issue. However, I was able to find out what audio file was missing because the exs24 instrument was made from an battery instrument. So when loaded into battery the same audio file was missing. I just copied another audio file, named it the same name as the missing one and the Logic session opened up fine. Had no problems in 9.1.6 so I know this is a new bug. In 9.1.6 a pop up asking to search for the file came up and you could choose to manually find it or skip. Has anyone else had this issue and found a work around besides downgrading?

Answer 1

Good you found a work-around, the other method would be to start logic without core audio running... dbl click on the Logic icon in the applications folder and immediately hold down the Control key. Answer No to "Launch the Core Audio Driver?"
Have to say though.. Logic is becoming more and more fragile, it should not crash simply because the EXS can't find a file.
