Consistent Crash to Desktop [AMD GPU]

Hello,
I recently returned to the game in December and updated it to SU7 after being absent since August. Since then, during every flight, the game will crash about an hour in. I have been in contact with support about this issue; I was told to look for solved threads with the error code 0xc0000005 and apply the fixes. So far, none of them have worked.

Are you on Steam or Microsoft Store version?

Brief description of the issue:
The game will crash on all flights longer than 30 minutes. When the game crashes, the audio cuts out, then the game stutters for a second, before closing without an error message. The crash has happened during all parts of the flight, but mostly on approach or after landing.

How big did you make your page file?
16Gb works much better with a custom size in MSFS.
There are also a lot of posts in here with similar issues.
You may want to do a search for them, a lot of tips and advice there.
There are also some who are really having trouble trying to pinpoint the issue.
You look like you’ve covered most of the bases.

Another thing to try is your PC ports sleep setting.
When awakening from a low power mode, it will often crash the sim.

Do you have Capture1 installed?

So you are fully updated to SU8 now? ( I see there was another small file to update today also )

I have a similar spec system, the only difference is I use 32GB of ram, but still, running the sim on Medium should be a breeze on yours.

Are you running the Sim in DirectX 11 or 12 ? ( I am sure you would have tried this )

I still use DirectX 11 in the sim as I feel " don’t try a fix if it ain’t broken " and I haven’t experienced any CDT for a while now. ( and my PC is windows 10 64 DirectX12 ) All Players / Live Traffic / Custom Weather

Excactly same issues here on a nVidia gpu.

A few minutes of flight and the audio cuts out dnd the game freezrs and ctd without any messages. Flightsim.exe every time.

Tried reinstalling, removing joystick etc. rolling back drivers, empty community folder etc.

Every other titles (also demanding) installed on my pc runs perfectly fine without any issues.

For the questions, the sim is fully updated. I set the pagefile size to 24GB, and I do not believe I have capture1 installed.
Thank you, and I hope this information is useful.

This is very strange. It might sound off-topic if I say this has been happening on the Xbox Series X ever since SU7…but the Series X GPU is technically an AMD GPU. I’ve seen a couple of these CTD reports linked systems with AMD GPUs. I wonder if there is actually a link :thinking:

Try rolling back radeon driver to version 21. I’ve had ctd’s on version 22.

what’s up with capture one?

If you have it installed FS crash randomly every time you use it.
Search here how to fix this problem (you need to rename a dll in C1, of course C1 will work without problems)

But the errors points for me more to gpu issue… May try to disable DX12 ( BETA!) setting and also set a max fps limit in ati-tool.

I see you running your PC using DirectX12 but are you using DirectX 11 in the game or 12 ? because a few folks were having problems with 12.

I’ve tried both options in game; it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Have you ever used the google map replacement mod?

My crash with my AMD is exactly the same every day many times.

I have not installed any map replacement mods

I finally resolved PC rebooting issues in MSFS2020 with my Radeon 6900XT by modifying settings in AMD Adrenalin software.

in “Settings → Graphics” I selected Power Saving profile and set max FPS to 60. Now my GPU temperature never exceeds 60C in MSFS and I can fly hours without crashing

Forgot to mention that also in “Performance → Tuning” section of AMD Adrenalin I put everything to Default and rebooted PC. But I think the key factor for game stability was activating Power Saving profile.

i have same problem crash to desktob…CTD its big problem i have always ctd in su12 and my friends have a same problem crash…ctd crash to desktop ,very bad problem .please fix

[ invidia and microsof store}

may be you find within the SU12 Beta area some hints
