Crashing when creating or deleting a virtual copy

Hi there...  I have been using lightroom 6.14 for a few years now with great success.  Recently I started getting into softproofing, to try and get better prints from my inkjet.  One day I went into the softproofing and used it to create a virutal copy and lightroom crashed on me.  Ever since then, when I create a virtual copy, or delete a virtual copy, even outside of softproofing, I get a crash.  When I re-open lightroom, the new virutal copy will be there if I created one, or it will be gone if I deleted it.  Running windows 10.  Catalog and images are stored on an external SSD, about 1 TB with 44K images.  Never had this problem until I tried creating a virtual copy thru the soft proofing function.

 

The below error seems to point to face detection.  It was enabled, I have disabled it in the catalog.  This only seems to affect images that I have recently added to the catalog, if I try this with an image that I added a year ago, no issues.  I also have another catalog that is much smaller, no issues with using virtual copies in it.

I had problems with crashes on creating virtual copies. Mac OS X 10.13.6, Lightroom 6.14

I solved it that way:

Go to application folder. Open Lightroom.app -> show package contents

Go to Frameworks -> CIT -> Plug-ins -> FaceRecognition

I deleted the complete folder FaceRecognition

No I have no more crashes on creating a virtual copy.

Wow, did some googling on the dll name, and found some info in the photoshop forums.  Problem is that the dll library expired on 12/06/2020, just a few days ago.  Two workarounds are setting the date back on your computer to before 12/6/2020 before launching lightroom, or renaming the CIT plugin folder, which is what I did.  Now I can create and delete virtual copies without crashing.  So much for being a perpetual license...

libfrsdk-8.6.0.dll

That comes up in problems with Face Recognizing on Lr 6. Lots of problems reported. Some speculation that the dll has expired due to age, or a license to use it has been expired (By Adobe)

 

Make sure Face Recognition is paused.

I meant to say that disabling face detection in the catalog did not stop the crashing.
