KiloWatt Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hi all, I'm a bit trepadatious to update, given the recent circus with SU 5 and subsequent hotfix. I'm now considering leaving the sim open and just not closing to update. That way, I may be able to temporarily skip the update for a while. The caveat being that the sim needs to be stable enough not to CTD on me, thereby forcing me to restart it. I've not been able to use the sim for the last month, since my CPU is in for RMA, so I'm still technically on SU4. But my CPU is scheduled to arrive today. So hopefully I can install it, SU5 and hotfix 1, and not have to deal with hotfix 2 (yet). IF it's stable enough... I'm wondering if this would work...

g7rta Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Nope. Microsoft makes you install the update no matter what. No, I don’t think that’s true if you keep Flight sim running all the time. It only checks for updates when you first launch the sim. Of course... it could easily go wrong. You accidentally switch off the pc.. you have a power cut... or simply just a CTD.

davidc2 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 In theory it should work, however as Steve pointed out there's a lot of obstacles in the way :( Windows 10 Pro, 32 gigs DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GForce RTX 3070, Intel I7 10700 running at 3.8, with Noctua NH-L9x65, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler-HP Reverb G2 for Virtual Reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Steve Oh okay - but also the sim would use a LOT of resources in the background of other games, programs, etc, so why would you want to limit performance of the system? And true on the other aspects of CTD etc...then bam - update. Thermaltake Ryzen Gen 9 3900x 12 cores, 4.6 ghz 32 gig of Ram, Liquid Cooled Everything.

KiloWatt Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 I'll give it a try anyway and see what happens. My PC is dedicated to MSFS and I literally do nothing else on it, since my employer gave me a laptop. So I'm happy to to leave it running for a while, even if it drains all the system resources. Like I said earlier, and others also noted, whether the sim is stable enough to keep going for a few days is another matter entirely...
