Blank menu then CTD - PC

, ,

Issue:

Boots into blank menu, runs 5-15s, then full CTD. Offline shows flickering menu buttons then CTD after 5-15s.


Lo folks,
MSFS worked flawlessly for a good few weeks, went away for work, come back, fired it up and this CTD issue started. PC is fully updated, had a browse through forums but not sure what I’m looking for reading from one CTD issue to the next on both PC & Xbox I’m lost, so posting up before a full re-install and then parking the game for a month (as seems usual now with owning this flight sim) in the hope of a fix by Christmas holidays.

Any point or link to a fix would be much appreciated :slight_smile:
