1.37.19 Crashes Every Single Time - Ryzen + Radeon

User Support Hub Crashes (CTDs)
, ,
1

Totally clean MSFS 2020 without any add-ons.

Has been working flawlessly for years. Now, version 1.37.19 crashes (CTD) within few seconds after reaching the main screen (where you chose what you want to do).

Crash dump indicates the following:
EXCEPTION_RECORD: (.exr -1)
ExceptionAddress: 00007ff73d02c840 (FlightSimulator+0x0000000001dfc840)
ExceptionCode: 80000003 (Break instruction exception)
ExceptionFlags: 00000000
NumberParameters: 1
Parameter[0]: 0000000000000000

PROCESS_NAME: FlightSimulator.exe

ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0x80000003 - {EXCEPTION} Breakpoint A breakpoint has been reached.

EXCEPTION_CODE_STR: 80000003

EXCEPTION_PARAMETER1: 0000000000000000

Is there a DebugBreak or a check somewhere in the release version?

  • MSFS fully up to date
  • Community folder and extra addons cleared out
  • Normal mode and safe mode have same CTD
  • Rebooted
  • Double checked .NET framework 3.5 is installed and up to date
  • Paging file set to automatic
  • Plenty of extra SSD space avaliable for the paging file to grow
  • Rebooted again

Stumbled here because I was having CTDs on loading and wondering if anyone else had this issue. I think you and I might have the same issue. I loaded up fine the first launch, installed the small update, restarted the sim and now I get a CTD at about 75% before even reaching the main menu. Three tries now, twice after clearing SceneryIndexes, DCE, and cache folders, and CTD every time at the exact same spot before reaching the main menu.

Nothing has changed except the prompted update.

Thinking this might be an issue with todayā€™s patch because I am seeing a whole lot of activity on this error today including some much older threads getting necrod.

Empty add on folder.

I got the update this evening. Now the game is completely unplayable.

The title loads - the progress bar goes halfway, then CTD. No main menu.

Same here. Uninstalled game, reinstalled. Same result CTD when loading bar is approx. 75%

10

Iā€™m running into the same symptoms following this recent update. Seems to happen sometime around the 75% loading point or at the menu. Once I managed to get to the menu and select airports from the World Map but it crashed on loading in. Most of the CTDs have been at the 75% mark though. These are consistent in the following situations:

  • ā€œNormalā€ start up.
  • ā€œSafe Modeā€ start up.
  • Cleared out community folder.
  • Also tried removing fs-base, fs-base-genericairports, and fs-base-ai-traffic folders based on another support article. The sim redoanloaded them and promptly had the same problem.

The Event Viewer points to a crash log which indicates a ā€œFiberErrorā€.

11

Same as others have posted above. Installed latest updates, restarted computer, loaded up FSX and about 75% loading it crashes.

Thought ok Iā€™ll try FSX safe mode then, 75% and boom crash to desktop.

Hi Guys

Mine is not working either, this afternoon I was Flying and MSFS just closed with no alerts or errors, yesterday was running smoothly but today I tried at to different times and with different flights but at the end just got CTD I updated today to Version 1.37.19

13

This is clearly an issue affecting multiple people after installing the latest update today (17JUN24). Iā€™m also seeing people complain of constant CTDs during loading on other forums over the past few hours. Oddly enough, no complaints when the patch was initially released.

It would be nice to get this issue escalated to Asobo so theyā€™re aware, as Iā€™m sure thereā€™s going to many complaints tomorrow if this issue persists.

i been having this issue too i even did a clean install and sometimes i hit 75% and crashes other time i reach the menu and then it crashes

15

I have the same issues here. Menu shows up for 2 seconds and then CTD. But before that I was able to start MSFS a few times, but some of the purchased marketplace aircraft and some of the premium content didnā€™t show up, although the content manager showed them as installedā€¦ Weirdā€¦

The crash dump analysis indicates that the problem is related to a breakpoint exception in the FlightSimulator.exe program. Below is the relevant information:

  1. Exception Address:
  • ExceptionAddress: 00007ff73d02c840 (FlightSimulator+0x0000000001dfc840)
  • This indicates that the exception occurred at a specific memory address within the FlightSimulator.exe process.
  1. Exception Code:
  • ExceptionCode: 80000003 (Break instruction exception)
  • The code 80000003 corresponds to a breakpoint instruction, suggesting that the program reached an intentional breakpoint or a debug point.
  1. Exception Flags:
  • ExceptionFlags: 00000000
  • There are no special flags associated with this exception.
  1. Number of Parameters:
  • NumberParameters: 1
  • There is one parameter associated with this exception.
  1. Exception Parameter:
  • Parameter[0]: 0000000000000000
  • The parameter value is 0, which could be a default value or irrelevant in this context.
  1. Process Name:
  • PROCESS_NAME: FlightSimulator.exe
  • The process that caused the exception is FlightSimulator.exe.
  1. Error Code:
  • ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0x80000003 - {EXCEPTION} Breakpoint A breakpoint has been reached.
  • The error code 0x80000003 confirms that a breakpoint was reached.
  1. Exception Code (String):
  • EXCEPTION_CODE_STR: 80000003
  • This is a string representation of the exception code, which is also 80000003.
  1. Exception Parameter 1:
  • EXCEPTION_PARAMETER1: 0000000000000000
  • The first (and only) parameter is 0.

Interpretation and Possible Causes

The 80000003 exception is generally used for debugging and means that the program stopped at a breakpoint. This can happen for several reasons:

  1. Intentional Breakpoint:
  • Developers may have left an intentional breakpoint in the code for debugging purposes. If you are running a development version or a version with debug symbols, this could be normal.
  1. Debugger Attached:
  • If a debugger was attached to the process when this exception occurred, it is possible that the debugger set the breakpoint.
  1. Code Errors:
  • In some cases, breakpoints may be reached due to errors in the code where developers leave breakpoints to detect and diagnose problems.

Possible Solutions

  1. Run a Non-Debug Version:
  • Ensure you are running a production version of the software without debug symbols.
  1. Check for Updates:
  • Check if there are any available software updates that might have fixed this issue.
  1. Consult Developers:
  • If it is development software, report this issue to the developers so they can review the code and remove unnecessary breakpoints.
  1. Debugger:
  • If you are using a debugger, review and remove any unnecessary breakpoints.

Iā€™m getting this exact same thing. Gets to around 75% then the audio cuts out, chops a couple of times and straight to desktop. ONCE in a while I can get into the menu.

Fresh install and everything. Tried turning off pretty much every service/feature while rebooting each time. Uninstalled basically everything. Unplugged all peripherals. Verified everything .net, swap file, etc was good. Iā€™m at a loss at this point.

Hello
You can try disabling everything that has to do with live data and try.
Traffic, real time, Azure, photogrammetry etcā€¦ etcā€¦

Add me to the list. Worked earlier today but tonight Iā€™m CTDing about halfway down the runway on takeoff. Earlier I was getting stuck waiting about 20-30 minutes at the Checking for updates stage. However, that has now cleared up. I get to the World Map screen enter my flight parameters click on FLY and get to the READY TO FLY screen. Get on the runway and takeoff and never make it to the end of the runway. CTD. It has now occurred 6 separate times with 6 different aircraft, 6 different airports, and 6 different loaded routes.

Hello, the last 2 nvidia drivers were causing issues in games (i confirmed that by reading their forum). Try reversing back to the driver that ends with .44 and then try again

21

Okay, Iā€™ll give that a try, although I havenā€™t had any issues with the .55 driver since I installed it. For that matter I havenā€™t a CTD since January and that was due a faulty processor that Dell replaced.
