CTD in content manager with Update

Crashes everytime during the update phase in Content Manager. I have the Premium Deluxe version, no mods, all stock from the Windows Store - some 3rd party aircraft through marketplace. Can not update the sim - as soon as I click update, CTD. Can’t experience the sim, at the moment.

I wasn’t in the pre release/preview.

Premium Deluxe owner here, installed fine without any problems. Sorry that you have CTD’s but not everyone it seems.

It just crashes when you select update. No mods or anything like that. Very strange and sadly seeing a lot of reports on social media and in the OT too.

This has affected a few folks (reported in main thread) but no issues with my Premium Deluxe content either.

No problem here… All downloads and initial flight tests were ok.

I’m on Premium Deluxe too, its running like a dream for me.

after installing the update (Premium DeLuxe) no problems so far. Short test flight with live weather and live traffic, so far satisfied.

Yep, I have the same issue

You are seeing Lots of reports on “Social Media”? That is the LAST place I would view for anything pertaining to MSFS. Social Media, these days, is full of nothing but wannabe Influencers gushing out bad info for their own benefit.

It did this for me too, but I forgot to take my own advice.

  1. Shut down the sim
  2. Rename community folder to community.temp
  3. Start sim, go to content manager do updates.
  4. Shut down sim
  5. Delete new community folder and rename community.temp from step 2 back to community.
  6. Start sim.

Unistall via content manager. Restart game and update.

Neither of those are solutions when I haven’t touched anything outside the stock version and what is available to me. I’m not removing official 3rd party content on their own marketplace for an update, neither am I renaming folders. Ridiculous. This is a big problem they need to look at immediately.

It would help if you could tell what update (aircraft, package) is causing your crash and how your crash looks like (what happens where ? what is reported last ?)

It’s really not. The instructions have always been to empty the community folder, for the last 18 months. Renaming is quicker than copying all the files out. Your call, but that’s how you do it. (I can’t comment on the marketplace addons).

I have 3 updates in Content Manager. Two for the base sim, including Premium Deluxe and the Junkers. Select all 3 to update (around 5gb or a bit less). CTD. All within the Content Manager.

After it CTD for me, I tried again several times with no luck. I eventually loaded in safe mode and it seems to be updating for me now.

… and what happens if you would select one by one ? There is one cause, not three causes. Or the download itself has a bug… if others don’t have it, it must be one of the three you selected.

I’ve never touched the community folder. Every update since has been fine. Why would it stop working all of a sudden now?

CTD everytime. Doesn’t matter how many or few you select.

I’ll try to reproduce… I’m starting the sim, not going to move Community (I don’t do that with minor updates, but when we have a SU or WO I do… when there’s any issue I’ll tell it here :slight_smile:
