A list of things I had to do to make SU3b4 work

System:

5090 (576.28)
64GB RAM
9800x3d
Windows 10

Issues:

  1. DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (crash)
  2. S_OK (crash)
  3. 5 FPS / Lighting bugs
  4. Unable to disable Marketplace add-ons

Solutions:

  1. DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG - Nvidia driver issue. Tried many versions. Only 576.28 works with SU3b4. All versions I tried except current (576.52) work with SU2.
  2. S_OK - FSR3 / framegen issue. Not tested: DLSS Swapper different versions, HAGS On/Off
  3. Disable Zinertek realistic aircraft lights, see 4
  4. See this thread for a steam-only workaround due to an SU3 bug

Additional commentary:

There’s lots of comments on these forums like ā€œworks for me, must be a you problemā€. However, the fact remains, I have tried every beta version of every SU of 2024, and aside from a single patch in SU2 that caused crashes in MP, I have not had to revert from beta as much as I have for SU3b1-4.

I’d also like to say that ā€œit’s a beta, stuff might breakā€ is also not a helpful line of commentary. I expect minor features to break, weird issues, etc. Full-on crashes at every turn shouldn’t leave the development environment. Asobo/MS needs to evaluate their automated testing approaches to catch basic failures like this before pushing beta updates.

Will install this within the minute. I’ve been pulling my hair out, as this build crashes always for me, something I haven’t seen before.

any overclocking / undervolting?

Oh , dont forget to lower your settings, empty your community folder, buy a 5090 and stand on one leg while waving to the queen

Oh darn it, I did it all wrong!

I emptied my settings, stood on my community folder, bought one leg, waved at a 5090 as it flew by high above my means, and yes, I even lowered the queen.

None of that helped, not even 576.28 works for me, again my DEVICE_HUNG before I could take off. And I started on the runway.

4080 SUPER 16 GB 576.52 don’t have this

hi there, 4070S no problem at all in any Beta 576.52, empty CF, empty cache, download all i could download, no problem, only one thing i notice since last beta audio sttutters come back

I have never had the problem until now after upgrading from 3090FE to 5090 astral. MSFS24 was working fine, never crashed until yesterday immediately after installing 5090 and updating graphics drivers. I think I was already using the same drivers on my 3090 fine immediately before btw. 9800x3D, 5090. Tried rolling back drivers, reducing resolution, deleting nvidia app, changing bios settings for ram. Can’t get more than a minute in to a flight without crash. Graphics card was my only change before all this started.

That ā€˜fix’ for #4 - the game disabling aircraft - does not work for many/most. Still an issue.

Did you uninstall previous drivers with DDU before installing the new card?

I have heard a lot of crashes with 5090 not only in this game. I think there are still issues with the drivers. Clean install after DDU might help, but I doubt it. It is likely driver problem.

So I was an idiot amd did not DDU before installing new card. I forgot you do that before bit after. I have since done that, and many clean driver install attempts etc.

Big breakthrough for me just happened though, I tried lowering global rendering quality down to medium and I was able to complete a a whole flight multiple times. Previously I had only been able to make it at most 30 seconds into a flight. I haven’t been able to isolate a single setting that causes the issue. I had been going setting by setting seeing what would make an impact and this is the ONLY thing that has had any effect for me (even reducing resolution and others). I’ve done tons of troubleshooting steps already. Considering reinstalling the game and then just giving up. It doesn’t work for all missions but at least I can get through a rally race flight on medium settings. I never had an issue with my 3090 and was able to play on medium just fine so this may have been the worst graphics card investment ever hah. For what it’s worth, the 30 seconds I have seen of the game maxed out with 5090 looks amazing, buttery smooth on triple 4k TVs but then of course the crash. Hope others are able to isolate the specific settings. I suspect it’s happening in flight sim when GPU is under load. No issues with any other games including D C S maxed out etc.

Uninstall Nvida App. That fixed all CTDs for me. Disable BATC. BATC causes CTD in SU3.

Undervolting here. But now installing .28 and will see how it works

I would like to provide a significant update. I decided to exchange my card (5090 astral for another astral) today as I experienced some crashing on another game that had previously worked fine with my 3090. I do not know if it is the card, or if I did not have the original seated properly, but this card is working with MSFS24 at maxed settings with no crashing! The game is spectacular when it works. Triple 4k displays maxed no frame gen running smooth and looking great. I am experiencing an issue when I enable frame gen (not that I need it) which causes the main display to be stuck in another view making the game unplayable. I will continue to investigate this as I was experiencing black screens in another game, possible due to frame gen as well. Either way, I am finally able to play msfs24 and while I have had some stuck screens that I end up having to close the game, they were not while playing.
