chicagorandy Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 There's a plentiful number of gripes, so I thought I'd start a thread with MY positive experience with the new Upgrade this morning. It took 'about' 30-45 minutes to download and install the Basic upgrade, then another 15-20 minutes for 8 or 9 other upgrades I found in the Marketplace area to include my Deluxe version upgrade. I tried the nice scenery tour flight around the Giza pyramids without issue, then a couple flights out of my home base Midway Airport in Chicago. Landed at Meiggs without incident too. The scenery to my aging eyeballs looks about the same as pre-Upgrade, so no complaints there either. I then exited the program, waited a few minutes and restarted it without a problem, it 'seems' to me that it loads just slightly quicker than before? I dunno. Then a couple more flight from a few airports - no issues. I must sincerely apologize and admit that I too am one of those 'annoying' people who has never experienced a CTD with MSFS 2020 since I installed it last year. No, I don't/can't run it at Ultra but many of my settings ARE at High and it works just fine and dandy, even with my mid-range desktop PC. Please understand I am NOT slamming those who ARE having issues, I'm merely stating MY positive experiences with the game in contrast. I 'suspect' however that I am NOT in the minority of MSFS 2020 owners, quite the opposite in fact.

fireartist Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I have also had a success story with update 5. no CTds, and my overall graphics have gone from low to med. to now mostly med to high. I am also running at 2k resolution with render scale at 80. I am blown away with the graphical and frame smoothness with this update. My PC is low end, but at least now I can enjoy the sim and get to see some of the potential of what the sim can deliver. I can hold off now upgrading my computer, will not spend money on inflated component parts at the moment. Thank you Asobo, please don't screw up the frame rate improvements in the next update. ________________________________________________________________________________ i5 3570k oc @ 4.3ghz 16gb ddr3 RAM, 1TB HDD GTX970 300mbps internet 43" 4K television i5 3570k oc @ 4.3ghz, 16gb DDR3 Ram, 1TB HDD, GTX 970, 43" 4K Hisense TV , Logitech Yoke and Rudder, Logitech Flight panels.

g7rta Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I misread the titles as “update vs success†LOL I actually did have a few CTDs last week after updating, and I had uninstalled the sim and did a full reinstall. But.. the hotfix pretty much sorted it. I did get another CTD today when I tried loading the A320 Neo (it crashed as soon as I hit “flyâ€) Not too bothered though as I don’t usually fly the airliners anyway. Overall I’m happy with it :) Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

g7rta Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I tend to fly VR nowadays, but I was in 2D mode when it crashed... and I had just dragged the display across all three screens (TV’s) which I have done many times, but I guess it didn’t like it this time LOL I’ve also just had another CTD tonight, this time in VR. I had just installed some new Orbx scenery and was flying above Blackpool Plsure Beach, while recording with OBS - it probably didn’t help but it still shouldn’t have crashed. Maybe it would have been better if I had rebooted the pc after installing the scenery? Anyway I shall try again later Just checked the recording.. taken before the CTD. I had a round cursor in the middle of the screen for some reason (possibly from OBS?) Also I was clicking the toolbar at the time of the crash... Update: just flown over there again (& again I was recording) there was a lot of stuttering this time. I quit OBS and the stutters went. All smooth again and no CTD (yet) I’ve used OBS several times without any problems, but maybe the update is affecting it now, Regards Steve Edited August 5, 2021 by g7rta Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

Mac6737 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 You may have seen the lengthy thread I started about "Total Disaster." You may not have seen my penultimate post in that thread, to the effect that the "hotfix" seemed to have solved my problems. So life is good again. (Until the next "update.") And to Randy: I don't know what % of users had problems, and you may indeed be in the majority. But I believe the consensus, even among happy campers, is that the number and intensity of complaints after Update V has been remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floundy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I too am part of the silent majority of no major issues after updates. i dont run the game higher than my machine can handle and i keep windows updated and I absolutely love Randy's sarcasm..

Aptosflier Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I eventually had a major issue--sim crashing when I clicked "fly"--but after I'd had no problems for the better part of a week after the update. I don't know what set off the CTDs; I suspected that my preceding attempt to integrate Navigraph with the sim may have had something to do with that, though it also may have been purely coincidental. I went through two uninstalls/reinstalls, and since then no problems with getting to the runway and into the air. I previously ran the sim on medium settings because when I experimented with high settings I noticed an occasional stutter. But now I run on high settings all the time and it's very smooth. So I'll give kudos to Asobo for their performance improvements.
