Constant CTD every flight now (ntdll.dll)

Add in several people reporting intermittent CTDs after flying the V35 on Friday. Could be same issue as this but no error event logs are being created. I initially thought it was the V35, but not so sure now.

Some of the other faulting modules are ucrtbase.dll and VCruntime140.dll, which are all related to the C++ runtime library, and might be pointing at something. It’s possible that .NET framework update or Windows update could change those DLLs, but not sure without digging in it. I think it would be helpful for people to see if they’ve had any recently Windows updates in the past 2 days, beyond the gaming services update that was mentioned.

The exception code 0xc0000374 on ntdll.dll is a heap corruption exception. Like I mentioned earlier, this is like a canary in a coal mine. Something is wrong, but doesn’t point to exactly what. It’s usually the most common way to crash a program. If people are also getting other faulting modules other than ntdll.dll, that should be paid equal attention.

Have the servers been compromised? Something is very off, how so much of the online connectivity is tied to overall performance; this needs investigating. How can this happen, it’s unplayable.

I don’t totally agree with that, i do not use MS Defender and i didn’t get any Windows Updates. I get CTD over UK and around the world, it’s totally random but in one thing i agree, is probably on the server side and that doesn’t affect all players.

I’ve theses updates since august 13 and fly many times after without issues.

It’s Sunday. Does this needed to be spelled out?

Yes, it is Sunday, and I’ve been reading and posting in this thread pretty much non-stop since I woke up this morning.

Yup. And you already stated that work on fixes will only be done during office hours and not on a weekend.
Which should be obvious. But apparently it isn’t, to some. :wink:

Pointing to MS finally getting rid of NT in the first place.

  • On topic:

Is it “server borders” causing the crash by not handling the handoff from one to another? As in “world servers”

Where did I say that?

Wow, 600 hundres posts in a copule of day.
The same is happening to me, CTD every flight.

If it helps, this is what I did on today’s live stream after a CTD

Go to the sim settings menu → General → Data

Find the option Online Services and turn it Off. It’ll disable everything - multiplayer, photogrammetry, live weather.

Today, for the first time in quite a few days I was able to complete a full flight without a CTD.

The sim did look reminiscent of FS2004 though :sweat_smile:

I’m pretty sure it was a remark, aimed at the Franco-European way of living and work balancing. Don’t let it get to you. :wink:

No updates for me since 12th of August apart from Defender. Also did not perform any windows store app updates (doing them manually) for a month.
Still CTD with ntdll.dll.

since friday the error messages about this error (MSFS Application Error - memory could not be read) are also piling up

ROFL! Might aswell go back to FSX then till they fix this.

That’s because not everyone works Monday to Friday 9-5

So not a worthwhile fix then and pointless trying to fly with it off then :slight_smile:

Good idea though to eliminate the guilty party though, off to do an overnight long haul with no data services and clear skies all round lol! Lets see…

Erm where did the community member say anything if the sort they didn’t say when the developers would fix it stop making false claims

I had a server disconnect and reconnect about 1 hour ago. No CTD since then.
