STABLE overclocking is not evil. But how many users on this forum are capable of achieving true, stable overclocks on the equipment we see here? And how can we even tell that an overclock is at fault considering all the other issues caused by third party software like LNM and Navigraph using SimConnect? Asobo constantly breaking add-ons with every update so that they cause CTDs? Conflicts between add-ons causing CTDs? Liveries causing CTDs? Modifying official aircraft files and causing CTDs and update issues? Incomplete updates causing CTDs?
Do you want to eliminate variables or continue to defy the guidelines of good troubleshooting? Do you want to keep your complex, unstable environment with its CTDs, or do you want to solve it and fly? Do you even want to fly and temporarily accept the cost of that, or are you just here to repeatedly whine and complain about things that others have fixed?
To all reading this thread – the OP found his issue and solved it. It was overclocking in his case. I’m not saying a stable overclock is an issue, but OP went through a LOT of agony for months having CTDs. He fixed it by removing the overclock.
My suggestion is that if you have continual, seemingly random CTDs, and if you have already tried removing mods and all those other things – doesn’t it seem reasonable to try removing the variable of overclocking? It’s not hard, and just like in OP’s case, it may solve your problem and allow you to enjoy flying!
