CTD in VR with AMD 6800XT / AMD 6900XT

Well, obviously this is becoming one of the most popular topics on MSFS forums. Since there are good chances this is a a driver problem, I would encourage you to submit requests to AMD Support : https://www.amd.com/en/support/contact-email-form

I already reported to amd a couple of months ago.

I don’t think it’s amd’s job to fix this, as other games run ok with no crashes.

I see your point and you’re probably right. However, if Asobo does not care about its customers, maybe we’ll have better chances if these issues a brought to their attention directly from AMD.

Well, unfortunately, it does affect nVidia GPU users also.

In the case of AMD, I filled close to 30 reports. They know about it.
But, for most of my CTD, the culprit is in the Renoir library.

Looking at the exception code and its offset, you are the proud new member of the RLEC, better known as the “Renoir Library Exception Club”. Congratulations!

Joke aside, this is the signature of the “memcpy” crash caused by the Path::Create method in this library. This is a 3rd party piece of code used by Asobo.

I really wish they could get rid of this weak cr4p.

It’s under investigation :folded_hands:t3::heart_eyes:

It’s taken them 6 months to reach “under investigation” so you’ll have to be praying pretty bloody hard if this is the rate they work at.

:joy: I agree


Same her, 6900xt . CTD in VR G2 after few minutes in flight
 Not happy
:angry:

It looks like, we‘ve already been kicked off the “Feature Snapshot” list. I guess my praying didn’t help😅Now I really don’t think July 29th update will make any difference for us. I guess I will start looking for a NVIDIA 3080ti now. I just waste too much time restarting the sim. Two weeks ago I was able to fly up to 30-45mins before a crash. Now, after having changed nothing, I am hardly able to fly out of the traffic circuit😏

@nathandrake295 I’ have seen post’s on here with people using 3080 that have suffered CTD I went from a RTX 2080 Super that was CTD to a Rx6800xt that continued to CTD so its a bit of a gamble switching over as it might not fix your problem I’ve changed nearly everything in the system and still CTD

Yea seems like a sneaky action to hide the problem, rather strangely under a huge heap of other problems.

Anyone tried the new Sim Update ? Still crashing in VR ?

Was able to fly for 45 minutes without issue but that’s all the time I had tonight to test. Game did crash at the world map before I got flying mind you.

Tested for no longer that 20min, looks promising as NO F$%$%$ CTD! Will try a longer flight in a few hours.

Crashed after 5min in VR. RX6800 and WU5
Like the last months


I am happy to report that CTD is finally fixed (at least for me) with SU5. I just finished 5 hr flight in VR, did everything I could think of to get the sim to crash to desktop, and failed miserably.

This is with 6800XT + 10900K overclocked to max (2550Mhz and 5.2Ghz allcore).
I hope everyone else is having the same success.

Similar experience - about two hours in VR flight, bush trip 1hr, then live weather/multiplayer etc, no crash!
Switching in and out of VR, no crash!
No world map crash, but a friend reported it happened to him going crazy with zooming.
So preliminary testing good. Will be able to test more later tonight, but SU5 so far so good.

Same here Reverb G2, 6800XT , no ctd since update 5
 only played about 1-2 hours so far but that would have been far more than I got before.. and as AudiChron said, I am provoking it with things like switching in and out which were high risk CTD before, not having issues now. I couldn’t even start VR except from main menu before, once in game it could not detect VR, but now its working in both. I am leaving a transatlantic flight going in real time tonight, if its still going in the morning I will be smiling but to be fair even if I get 1-2 hours inbetween CTD, that will be a darn sight better than before!

My CTD seem to have stop also since SU5 3 flights back to back and no CTD I was lucky if I’d get 1 flight in
