Don’t know if this pertains to everyone but the NVidia update to 516.59 was causing CTDs on my system at the beginning or end of a flight, from/to main menu. I reverted to 516.40 and no more CTDs.
thats because re-install not delete all files in AppData and thats why you sometime need to remove files manualy. But thats only if the issue is caused from eg. invalid files and not from e.g. mentioned low memory ( eg. insufficent pagefile ).
now.. may be you missed my former post.. How much RAM you own and how much free space is on your disc ?
Users with 16GIG RAM must have a sufficent windows pagefile size and with low free disc space, windows can not create this and you must manually set a sufficent min:size.
But as mentined… Sometime also the RollingCache file can cause that.
You can also try to remove in %AppData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator the folders like DCE, SceneryIndex,SceneryCache, ( and if you not changed the default there is also the ROLLINGCACHE.CCC file )
And of course you can try without connected devices, in case you own many ( e.g. radiopanel, etc. )..
I have 32 gig of RAM. I have 263 GB of free space on a SSD Drive.
Something I failed to mention. The Sim worked fine until I installed SU 10 beta.
SU 10 worked fine, then this all started a couple of days later. I have since uninstalled SU 10 beta, but made no difference. Sorry that info is probably important.
thats an important info and there is a topic about within the #sim-update-10-beta category
But then it is may be possible that a setting becomes corrupt and in worst case one from the cloud-save.
EDIT: but here the user reported, that reinstalling will help, but you have to remove manualy the whole %AppData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator folder after uninstall in Steam.
may be it is not necessary to un-install the whole game. You can simple try to remove that folder “%AppData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator” and start MSFS. At least is worth to try.. if its work you not need to redownload whole game…
During the big sim CTD weekend 20-23 august 2022, my MSFS also ended up in CTDs .. But they went from CTD in the game to “CTD before main menu is loaded”
I made a post in the “Constants CTD every flight now…”
The error log, which I actually don’t understand was identified by Hester40MT as another kind of CTD and he asked me to post it here instead.
