gregatp Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hey all- I am having trouble with MSFS. Most times it crashes to desktop when the status bar is about 3/4 on initial loading, obviously before the main menu. Occasionally I can get to the main menu where I set things to Low-End, Bing off, etc. I then can load an airport/plane but get ~3 fps for a couple minutes before crashing to desktop. Latest Nvidia drivers installed: Processor Intel® Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3601 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041 Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB Total Virtual Memory 18.8 GB Available Virtual Memory 14.5 GB Page File Space 2.88 GB Adapter Description NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card Resolution 1920 x 1080 x 60 hertz Any ideas or suggestions? Would really love to enjoy this simulator. Thanks!! B747 Pilot (Real World) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainsman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 What is your internet connection speed? Are you on a HD or SSD? Everything else looks like it ought to run better than that. If you have a slow internet speed and a HD that could be a problem.

gregatp Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 It’s on my primary © drive which is a Samsung 2TB SSD. Internet speed test results: 74.6 Mbps download and 12.8 Mbps upload. So, I’m at a loss.... :-) B747 Pilot (Real World) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 What version of Windows 10 do you have? You need version 1909 at least - the latest version is 2004.

gregatp Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Sorry- yes it is Windows 10 Home version 2004. I’ll add that XP11.5 as well as P3Dv4 run smooth and fluid with high settings and great frame rates. This version of MSFS really bogs down for some reason.

Kapitan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 My system is i5 and GTX1060 3gb and i fly with high-end settings at 30fps In clear skies no traffic ai Install geforce experience, and add MSFS2020 to the GeforceE box Are nvidia drivers updated to 252? check if your monitor has Freesync, HDR check if your PC is running programs in the background Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 In addition to Kapitan's good advice above, you could also try a repair or reset for MSFS as set out in this guide: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016107019-How-to-repair-or-remove-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-on-Microsoft-Store-Gamepass Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

plainsman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Also, have you run a virus scan lately?

gregatp Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Yes, I also did a clean reinstall of Windows 10 and reinstalled MSFS (along with my other stuff). Same issue is happening. I’ve been on Nvidia forums and it looks like others are having similar issues either with Flight Sim or other games and the common theme seems to be the driver: build 452.06. Gonna play with it more tomorrow and maybe download older drivers and see how it goes. Thanks for all the replies! B747 Pilot (Real World) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
