i’ve been having constant CTDs even after rolling back drivers. i haven’t completed a flight in about 2 months now. nothing i’ve tried has made any impact whatsoever. i cannot find anything that suggests the sim is about to crash. everything seems perfect then suddenly i’m looking at the desktop again.
i haven’t completed a flight in approx 2 months now. somewhere between 5 and 30 mins into flight i get a CTD. no matter what i try, nothing works. zendesk has offered some ideas but nothing has ever helped.
i don’t do any overclocking or anything like that but it seems i’ve had a similar experience. correlation doesn’t equal causation but i haven’t completed a flight since su6. random CTD at some point on every single flight. i do t see anything that indicates a crash is imminent, it just happens.
If it’s a self build you might try reseating your memory, cpu and gpu and if you have high temps, renewing your cpu’s thermal paste too. check power connections and check your psu is powerful enough. Also with the wrong power settings usb ports can turn off or sleep.

This is a tough nut to crack, unfortunately! The latest driver works as good as the past 3, so no need to change that. Some, here, appear to be running well after turning off hardware acceleration and running latest driver! I follow all the suggestions in this post because I have no clue! I keep all drivers up to date, windows up to date, Microsoft store up to date, and any updates within the sim updated! These 4 areas I update when needed. I only run 30 to 40 min flights which keeps CTD to minimum.
Just CTD at Installing Winter / Fall / Summer plugins. lol Asobo u dont need any reson for crash, so pitty.

Same here. Tried a complete reinstall, at least it helped to stay in flight for about 5min. Tried disabling hyperthreading on my Ryzen 5900X, it crashed at once - so I cannot recommend this. 32gb RAM do not seem to help. 10GB 3080 Card. All drivers up to date. @Microsoft, how was that tested? So many crashes cannot go unnoticed. Plus, the SW does not seem to leave valuable error logs.

How is the studio driver working?
What was the first big update to fix peoples crashing? SU4? because i had zero crashes before that sim update
Hello all,
As the title says, I all of a sudden will get random crash to desktop. In all my time flying the sim I never have had an issues with crashing. So this is weird to me.
My drivers are up to date. Sim is up to date. I removed all mods and third party add ons and also tried flying in “safe mode” and it’ll crash randomly.
It doesn’t give me an error code or even a ‘.exe has stopped working’ message.
Before and up to the crashing point the sim runs smooth and fine.
Any ideas on why this may be happening? Is it a more common thing since the SU7? Worse case scenario I just be patient until a hot fix or update comes out!
Thanks for any help/advice!
If using an Nvidia card, try turning off Windows Hardware Accelerated Graphics (HAGS).

If you are using Nvidia, check which driver version you are running and weather it is known to cause CTDs (there were some driver related CTD issues recently).
SOLVED ??? When did i miss someting . I have the Same issue and HAG off or on doesn’t matter. Also downgrading or changing NVidia driver doesn’t fix it. Exact same issue.. and I have tried everything that has been posted here.. still exact CTD as described here. I stopped playing for now as I can’t waste 3 hours of flying just to look at the screen and I am at the desktop. NOT EVEN A POPUP.
yes new driver install, same ■■■■ ctd, no error message. this is disgusting now. why do we keep punishing ourselves for inept work on graphics drivers, third party stuff, Asobo issuing fixes that do nothing, etc. I just downloaded the newest driver they said would fix the problem, it’s worse…more stutters than before , same ctds AND Asobo had the guts to issue a hotfix this morning that made it crash quicker.
I can’t believe Asobo would let us go through the holidays with an unplayable SIM 
Disappointed to say the least. I took days off to catch up on this thing !
Have you considered that the GPU driver may not be the source of your crashes?

Very unlikely its the driver. We have used various version and i even moved away from Game Ready divers to Studio Drivers by Nvidia as suggested. Exact same scenario played out. Silent CTD.
Have you tried it with an empty community folder to test? Do you have your graphics card overclocked?
Thanks DownLow70 - No overclock on the graphics card. I am flying the FbW 320 so that’s not an option. Will wait vs spending tens of hours on this. Thanks 
what kind of hotfix ?.. you are on beta ?
