Hello CTDs...

This new update is a pain for my system... I never had CTDs in the past 6 months and no pause either

Today my fps went from 20 25 landing at KLAX to 10 to 12 and a CTD

I tried a less detailed airport such as KPHX and got a CTD after numerous pauses

 

I really think it is time for MS to allow people to decide for themselves if they want the update or not and to offer the option to return to a previous version

Hi, sorry to hear you’re having problems. I won’t have time to update until the weekend but it’s something to look forward to.

Unfortunately that would only work if the sim was meant for use offline. As it’s mainly an online sim, everyone needs to be on the same version, hence the updates all being mandatory

Ok, so it's not just me. Though, my system (weak or strong, I know not which) may play a roll in this as well.

I presume you removed all your add ons from your community folder?

If not, and you are using some WT add ons there are updates available.

I did experience some lower FPS while flying over downtown Jacksonville, FL last night, first time it did that. Will continue testing.

Thanks Steve, you're right I still forget it is an online sim

I am working on eliminating the pauses and CTD by cleaning up my Community folder

Very good point Hans, emptying the community folder eliminated pauses and CTDs.. Now I need to find the cause of that.

 

Thanks for the reminder!

Now you've got here an excellent point that summarizes all the situation.

 

It took me some time to realize it, and to be honest, that's something that has me uneasy. More than a game/sim in the traditional sense, it's like having an extension of the Operating System.

 

Well, I guess that's OK as long as they don't raise the hardware requirements after every update, which I'm not really sure about (and I'm not including here the increasing hard disk needs). In other words, it's not fair to change the rules once the match is started...

no problems this end........ Note: I only have iron maiden livery in the community folder and nothing else apart from that it's equal to a fresh installation.... no problems ... My way of approaching this sim is to keep it clean until Asobo has signed off on it...... and it's worked so far... none of this is it the sim or is it the mod whatever, it also allowed me to hone in on the issues on my rig by taking me out of the ctd equation.... it's not always the sim causing CTDs in my experience and there is a lot more to building a rig than slapping the parts together, that's been a new learning curve for me but successful..... ON-Line sim lol I only turned on online a few days ago, and I've had the sim 5 months now... had to turn on line off because of all the pointless clutter/swarms of Drones from the pilots POV, that's become my new pet hate, thanks ASOBO for that!!!!!!!!! ASOBO " We are sorry about that we have placed an off tab to tun the drones names off in the settings" would be good to see and hear Edited May 27, 2021 by daspinall

What a mess, nothing works. Constant CTDs in the main menus and in flight as well. Many aircraft do not work correctly anymore.

Very frustrating to go through this with every update.

Sorry to hear you’re having problems. What are your computer specs? Did you make sure your community folder was empty before updating? There are many factors to consider before saying nothing works.

I tend to update everything in the MS Store first & then launch the sim so it can update itself. Although this time I actually did a full, clean install but most people wouldn’t want to do that.. but it all appears to be running well.

I agree. I have not made any long flights since the update, but shorts flights have flown without incident.

It sounds like you have some incompatible addons in your installation? Have you tried taking everything out of your community folder and try running the sim? Also, do you have plenty of empty disk space on your storage device?

Hi, with an I7-9700 @ 3.0 GHz, a GeForce GTX 1660, and a 500Gb SSD, I think my system is only slightly above average specs, but by no means a top-end machine. Even so, MSFS has always worked like a charm to me, never had to reinstall it, and never observed any serious problem with the updates.

 

No secrets here: just keeping my system tidy and rabidly updated, and not demanding much from it (a standard 1920x1080 monitor is enough to me).

 

I don't have problems with the Community folder either, but have always found surprising that they invented such an easy and handy method to include 3rd party add-ons (just drop them in a folder), only to require it to be emptied and revised after every update, not to mention the use of external software just to manage its contents.

 

If only I could be of more help!!

Got it finally working. Needed to update all the working title and GitHub mods to have success.

Thanks for the suggestions.:D

Glad it’s working again :)

Steve
