I’ll be the first to admit it has some issues, which I would classify as growing pains
The last few days have not been good, with the Bing Data issue , and the Simconnect one both hitting at once.
So if you want to go on those two issues, yes they certainly affected quite a few users.
I been quite fortunate, I have had fewer issues with MSFS than I had with FSX, Steam, or P3D, and have been using MSFS since launch in August.
I may have had 4 or 5 CTD in that time frame, most of them recently.
I was able, thanks to this forum, to be able to find the cause for each.
In all fairness, the Bing issue sprung up “out of the blue” and it is actively being looked into.
The simconnect is corrected with the next update.
And it is quite an amazing sim.
I can’t see myself ever going back, and I am not a VFR flyer!
The “feeling” you get from this sim can’t be replicated elsewhere!
thanks… I hope @aracines have now enough writen of it’s own personal opinion within this thread and made enough wrong assumptions about other users and wrong summaries, and this within a thread which is made for searching issues and helping users.
It’s own thread was already closed because “is essentially not constructive”.
and you still tell with this your opinion that you mean I lie.
I have you absolutly nothing to proof. If I tell you I have no CTD ( since start issues are gone ), then you have to trust me. Beside of this I uploaded some videos at my YT channel , like others done same… I’am not interessted at a 787 , I fly airplane which I want and not what you want.
In all your posts here was nothing which was helpfull for the users.
You only created more “responses” ( as you said 2600+ ) within this thread which we not need in this category.
If I have to trust you, why don’t you have to trust me? Why not prove to everybody here that I’m wrong. I say I’m not wrong, please trust me or show me I’m wrong.
My post says to not avoid CTD’s at this juncture because msfs is still in early development, the G1000, other autopilots, weather, AI, copilot, and ATC (major core features) have not even been completed yet. There are going to be CTD’s. The best way to solve the CTD’s is to report as many as possible to zendesk. It is not good to workaround CTD’s at this juncture, there are too many people having CTD’s for too many reasons.
You see, its not a matter of what interests you, its a matter of trying to make msfs CTD so you can report it to the msfs team. Every msfs customer is an alpha tester until msfs has completed the development stage.
As long as this community does whatever it takes to avoid CTD’s at this stage, they may never get fixed or they will take years to finally get fixed. The result is, the community will have to be in a perpetual state of workarounds and unreasonable compromises…this is no way to flight sim.
@aracines your post above is 100%. For me, its AI traffic. I can fly for hours and hours with settings on high/ultra with AI off, as soon as AI is on, CTD. So my workaround has been AI off, but it shouldn’t have to be. I was routinely reporting CTD’s and bugs/giving feedback until about a month ago when I just got jack of it and wanted an UNINTERUPTED flying experience.
I’ve had crashes in the middle of the ocean. I also don’t use AI traffic, but Live, but I guess that’s just AI by another name. If it was AI that caused it, it must have a huge range of effect.
As mentioned, aquired the EDDM from official market place two weeks ago. Since 3 days CTD if starting from this airport during take off or even earlier, this is random. All remaining airports are fine. The route from Frankfurt to Inssbruck passing EDDM the PC hang for some seconds directly above this airport, but continued.
So that doesn’t sound like the Bing data issue, as you would not have even had the opportunity to get in the cockpit. I have three airports that have that issue, and it’s impossible to visit them without turning Bing data off, or renaming their respective CGL files.
If you haven’t removed it yet, can you try one thing for me. Try setting Use Generic Plane models on for both AI, and MP. It’s under Traffic.
FOR THE THIRD TIME i reply this topic with CTD report
the first one caused by broken Visual c++ and the second one because of the Xbox app.
and this time it caused by the freaking SPEAKER DRIVER. i update the dolby driver and it crashed my MSFS
idk why but this time i got CTD in map menu not in mid-flight as before
im sorry for you all but i need help again this time -_-
That’s not what you said before. You said it crashed on takeoff. Now you are saying it crashes on load. If its the later, then it could be the Bing data issue.
Look inside the scenery folder, and find a folder called “CGL”. Inside that may be a single file. Rename its file extension to anything except .cgl i.e. .cgl.bak
Have been doing some testing today involving removing all community content, removing paid content and have found the issue causing my CTDs meaning I didn’t need to do any of that. Stupid that I hadn’t spotted this earlier! This won’t be a workaround for everyone but if you have Nvidia graphics card this is definitely worth a shot.
I’ve noticed when a new GPU driver is automatically installed (normally by GeForce) it disables settings which have been set using a tool such as MSI afterburner. I have to manually set my graphics card fan speed to 80+ within afterburner. MSFS2020 is so GPU dependent I have noticed if you don’t do this the graphics card will reach a max temperature and that will result in a cut out instantly on whatever application is being used. I believe the max temp is 90’c for the RTX2080 (I’m not sure of other Nvidia cards but imagine the same). Since changing these I have completed 4 flights (5 hours) which Navigraph, Pacx, FCUIP7 etc was running and had no issues.
MSI afterburner is free and very easy to use and change the fan speed of your GPU and takes a matter of minutes to do. I’d highly recommend trying this. If this isn’t the issue for you, I hope you get your CTDs sorted soon…
I had managed to run MSFS without CTDs during the last months but today I am unable to use it. I get a CTD without error message when loading the flight. Checking on the event viewer I am getting the following details (every CTD changes the Faulting process id, the rest is the same):
