CTD back with a vengeance

[Ducktooth]

After fairly good performance post update 7 (?) with CTD fairly rare, they are back like an aggressive cancer. Many times I can only run for about 10-15 minutes before the telltale sound drop-out and boom! Hello desktop. That's if I am lucky. Other times I can only get in a few seconds before crash. Does ASOBO just have to dole out CTD to satisfy the CTD gods? Not again! :mad: Edited December 21, 2021 by Ducktooth

Are you using Nvidia? Latest drivers apparently fix the issue

Have you added any new mods, or have any mods running??

[g7rta]

Has your graphics card driver been updated by any chance? The latest nvidia drivers (497.09) have been causing CTDs for a lot of people. If you’ve got them installed, try going back to older drivers

New nVidia driver 497.29 is reported to fix the CTD problem with the .09 version, so, install the new driver if you don't want to go back to an old one.

Thanks. I wish I could say that was it. But that wasn't it. Strangely, now I am starting to get crashes after I select "Fly".

What control devices are you using? Try unhooking everything except mouse and keyboard. If you no longer get crashes, add back just a joystick. If that works fine add each controller until it returns. I am suspicious you may have an assignment conflict??

*sigh

Even with a new “monster pc” I have on order, I’m staying away from MSFS.

 

Sounds like more trouble than it’s worth. What a shame.

For a few yes. But millions would disagree.

It isn't MSFS. I have been running it for 11/2 years and only 2 CTDs in all that time. One was due to the map issue which was repaired early on. I run Nvidea drivers and never had a problem. I am not trying to run it on an old laptop and I don't have any addons. I just use a joystick. I fly one to two hour flights and it works just fine.

Just reading threads here I’m seeing all kinds of issues folks are having. Not to mention, seemingly after getting it set up perfectly, along comes another update that resets settings and fudges other things up.

Yes we do. I cringe whenever an update comes out, but, I enjoy flying the sim, so I endure it, get help when I need it and am back in the skies again :D

I started to have similar issues out of the blue...in between updates. Somtimes I couldn't even get past the blue line at the bottom while it was loading...bamn, CDT...other times I could get to the "fly now" and bam, CDT....nothing in the community folder, all drivers up to date, just crazy...system less than a year old. I started doing hardware tests and found out that my 6 month old GPU started to have memory failures. Now I've sent the card in for repairs...who knows how long that will take. Start testing hardware, you never know!

Ahhhh,but alas, it can be sir. Believe it or not, my CTD issue was caused by somehow assigning the drone camera key to the hardware that I was using on my Logitech Yoke's Throttle Quadrant. The error does not lie with the hardware, but it's an apparent bug with MSFS. I have to use my keyboard assignment for the camera change. Just some food for thought on this thread about CTDs and what can be the cause. It may not always be what people think, an add-on not playing nicely, or drivers.

If you're running with DX 12 selected in Graphics Options, change back to DX 11.

I had the same issue with a Carenado PA44, changing back to DX 11 cleared it.

My CTD seems to happen when I am changing airports to fly from. I also wonder if the internet quality might be a factor as I seem to get too many little kick outs to play any on line games especially in the afternoon.
