Question

RAW, Photoshop and Premiere Pro keep crashing with plenty of system resources

This is the run around support I get after an hour. No one can answer any questions and I have multiple support cases with nothing getting fixed on Adobe's part with a system that has more than enough resources, as well as the Adobe recommended hardware. Is there someone in the Community that actually got their case resolved?

Agent said

Thanks for the information, may I know if crash issue is specific with Adobe Photoshop or with all Adobe applications?

 
You said

Photoshop and Premiere Pro

You said

There are plenty of cases I have with my account for Premiere Pro and Photoshop keeps crashing too

 
Samad
 

 

Agent said

I do understand how you are feeling right now and I will surely help you in resolving this issue. Could we do a screen share so I can take a look and figure out the root cause to resolve it effectively?

 
You said

yes

You said

But first... Do you have access to the other cases I have had before?

 
Samad
 

 

Agent said

Yes, I can access previous cases as well. Please close your personal files and folders. Let me know when you're ready to start the remote session.

 
You said

Before I do this, my most important resource is my time, because I do NOT get that back. So I need you to be familar with the other cases first

You said

I do not need you to mess with the preferences or scratch disks or file handling within the settings, because I already know this and I know my computer. I want you to have absolute understanding of the prior issues, or you will personally be eating up my time and making things worse

You said

For instance, Camera RAW just crashed just now

You said

You probably cannot read or translate a crash report.. correct?

Agent said

AJ, I can see you are facing crash issue from past few months and it is while exporting and while editing as well. We have to check permissions and storage utilization and if it would be fine then we will try to re-install Adobe applications from fresh to get a new installation so you do not have to face crash issue in future. We will take backup of your preferences as well to restore it. We could not access the crash report from our end. Is it okay if we stary session to check accordingly without messing up your work so we can fix it?

 
You said

No. You are not reinatlling applications. I want a supervisor and someone that knows what they are doing.

You said

You are reading prompts and you cannot troubleshoot real world issues withthe versions and issues I have. I need a supervisor based in the US

 
Samad
 

 

Agent said

I do understand your query, please allow me a moment and let me check the availability of supervisor.

 
You said

You took waaaay too long to even type that in. Let billing know that I want a full refund please.

 
Samad
 

 

Agent said

I apologize for the inconvenience caused if you want refund I can connect you with the dedicated team so they can provide you refund. Please stay connected.

Hi, you've been transferred to me, let me first pull up your account information and access your details.

Agent said

As I have gone through the previous chat so you are facing a technical issue is that correct?

 
You said

I want a refund from the start of my issues (you should be able to pull up case numbers) and I want a supervisor to fix your software. That is the goal of this, so let me know what you are capable of, before I waste my time on top of the money I have spent.

You said

There is no response by you. So should I take this as you are not capable?

 
Sahil
 

 

Agent said

I understand that, I need to check on this, I am not from the technical department who can help you with the troubleshooting part, so let me check what can be done in this scenario.

 
You said

I definitely need to be refunded in the meantime.

You said

I do not want to sit here and wait while you are not doing anything or working on another person complaining

You said

This is taking way too long as is, Sahil

 
Sahil
 

 

Agent said

I understand that, we cannot initiate the refund for an active plan, are you facing any technical help regarding your application?

 
You said

DId you not just get transferred from a technical support person that cannot do their job and fix the software?

You said

You are wasting my time, Sahil

 
Sahil
 

 

Agent said

I can arrange a callback from the technical team, if you want I can transfer you to the technical team, please let me know, how would you like to proceed?

 
You said

I want to make a report and have this chat documented so that when I do speak to a supervisor, they know the frustrations and lack of communication and resolving the issues with unqualified and uncapable support please

You said

Yes I want a call back from US based support and the billing department - both!

You said

Also, I would like them to see how long it takes you to respond to my messages. So will this transcript be timestamped?

 
Sahil
 

 

Agent said

I totally understand your frustration, we are globally based and we do not have any specific US based supervisor team, if you want I can transfer you to the technical team so that they can fix your issue. Shall I transfer to them?

@ajpagano  I can understand your frustration but before we can try to help you must give us more informations about your issue and your system.

 

What you're doing/try to do before Photoshop crashes?

Does Photoshop has worded in the past? If yes, what has been changed on you system before the error occur?

 

Please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the Photoshop menu item Help > System Info. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.

 

Is your system up-to-date? Do you have installed all recent updates and patches for the operating system and the device drivers, especially the graphic driver. Please make also sure that you have installed the Studio version and not the Game Ready version of your NVidia driver.

 

Do you've tried to reset the preferences of Photoshop by using the steps described here?

See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset-preferences

It's recommended to backup your settings before resetting the preferences.

See here:  https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#backup-photoshop-preferences

 

Do you've send the crash report to Adobe as described in the crash dialog window (sreenshot frozen-raw2.jpg)?

If not please send the report to Adobe on the next crash.
