Hello.
I have the MSFS Deluxe version for PC via Steam.
While before my simu was working nominally, since the WU5 and also with the WU6, I systematically have a CTD at about 80% of the game launch.
After several uninstallations reinstallations of MSFS, the problem persists.
Several observations:
slow download via Steam (max 30 Mbits while I have a 300 Mbits/s fiber connection.
once installed, MSFS launches then switches to developer mode (while the SDK is not installed), the sound jumps and CTD
Why wasting time?
It’s completely useless since Commodore 64.
Check if you have C1 or if new hotfix succeeded in not sideloading dll from other software.
Hello.
I made sure that the community file was empty.
I uninstalled MSFS and STEAM and then ran CCleaner to remove any harmful dlls.
I reinstalled STEAM.
I reinstalled MSFS in an externalized folder without any problem. I did not install the SDK.
I launched MSFS which did the last WU 6 update.
When I launch the game, it switches to developer mode at some point without me asking it anything and without the SDK installed.
I then have the CTD at 80% of the launch, CTD preceded by a deterioration of the sound.
I also tested without the firewall (windows or Bitdefender). Same result.
I bought MSFS via STEAM. Is the XBOX application really necessary?
The disk on which MSFS is installed is NTFS.
I’m looking to disable Realteck High Definition Audio Driver and Nahimic
If you not use the MS-Gamebar stuff, I also recommend to disable all of these in windows settings.
may be first try to disable Nahimic, these is usually the “bad boy”…
Of course, try to find up2date sound-drivers is also allways a good idea, there are real horror stories about
One out of five launch attempts end-up with a CTD. Just restarting the game works almost all of the time.
I started tracking the cause and it seems it’s a weak piece of code in the part that reads a configuration file. I’m collecting additional crash dumps to make sure it’s always the same error.
if yes, its good that it not exist and we can assume there is no issue from this side
So far I understood @StopHalfling310 correct, he mentioned the case where user settings files becomes invalid. I’am not sure whether this is the reason here, but it’s may be a try worth in case xbox re-login will not help. Unfortuanlity its bit more complex. I remember latest I mentioned it here:
Another test-run can may be to start the game Offline…
It is possible. I can’t remember. But in either case, shouldn’t a reinstall of MSFS restart the game in normal mode? Would there be something to empty on the Steam cloud?
