My issue seems solved with a bios update as well for 13th and 14th gen Intel chips. I am still testing but flew a 2 hour mission and was able to finally finish the flight without a CTD.
Still having constant CTD’s, and now my PC reboots when FS2024 crashes. This is with the latest BIOS for my i9-13900K. Tried the latest Nvidia driver and tried rolling back to the last one, still have constant CTD’s at the main opening page
Just discovered this crash thread.
I had constant crashes with the Tech Preview running Windows 10, i9 13900K RTX 4090. MSFS 2024 would only stay up for a few seconds. I bought the collectors edition but I’ve been playing under Game Pass and it’s been absolutely fine.
Today I redeemed the MSFS 2024 Aviator edition having recieved the collectors edition by post and now I’m back to the sim constantly crashing.
Currently I’m trying to upgrade to Windows 11 to see if that fixes anything. ![]()

Continuous CTD. Even in the menu, not even in a cockpit. Everything is updated: Bios/nvidia/Win11. Reinstalled MS2024 more than once and deleted app data, and no luck either. Haven’t been able to play for 3-4 weeks. It was working perfectly for me prior, then they pushed an update to fix bugs and now I get CTD and the game has been unplayable since December 11th.
My crashes have been fixed in MSFS 2024. I don’t know why they happened when moving from the Game Pass edition to the Aviators edition. Somethinng for Asobo to look at if they spot this post. ![]()
My crashes were related to the Asus Sonic Studio 2 driver which I’m guessing in combination with a ROG motherboard caused some problems with MSFS 2024. MSFS was fine though. The fix was to disable the driver, deleting it appeared to just cause it to come back again.
FYI @BinauralNickel9
Thank you but unfortunately your troubleshooting steps were irrelevant. I tried these troubleshooting steps first, and had high hopes they would help, but sadly I have already spent 20-30+ hours already troubleshooting everything and only one or two things on your list I hadn’t tried yet. Sadly they didn’t work either.
So since I have been slowly and slowly becoming more and more ■■■■■■ and frustrated with this game refusing to work for more than a few seconds, I figured I would reinstall Windows 11 from scratch. So I did. I deleted my 6 tb of partitions without backing anything up (again, ■■■■■■), and started from scratch. Downloading everything from new. Sadly MS2024 worked for a few minutes before the first crash, but every time after that, regardless of location, the game crashes. I could choose somewhere busy like DFW, or a remote island. Even Antarctica once (minimal everything). Regardless of what peripherals are connected. Regardless of what software is running. Brand new Windows 11, fully patched. Latest Nvidia drivers. Latest bios. It couldn’t be a more pristine system and MS2024 crashes over and over and over.
I feel you introduced a memory leak in the update 3 weeks ago. Prior to that update I had pretty much no problems and was flying normally just fine. But after that patch I literally can’t go 5 seconds to 90 seconds in a flight without it crashing. And I sometimes even have it crash in the menu, not even in a flight. And the craziest thing (as some others have mentioned) is my entire computer crashes and reboots about 1 out of 15 or 20 attempts at flying. All the other crashes are just CTD. I have never EVER had a crash that rebooted on any other game or program ever in years and years. This game is the only one that has managed to do that. After the Windows 11, today I had the crash rebooting my system while in flight.
The other reason memory leak comes to mind is I followed a suggest on youtube (prior to installing Windows 11) to delete out all scenery and some appdata folders. When I did this the game actually ran for maybe 10-15 minutes. I thought the problem was finally fixed. But no, thereafter crashes within 1 to 2 minutes. I’m lucky if I ever get more than two minutes.
I’ve tried every. I’ve even tried things like setting my Windows swap file to 100gb. I’ve tried setting the MS2024 online cache file to 500gb instead of the default 16. Nothing helps.
Here are my specs in case it is helpful. All of us should post our specs with this CTD problem to see if there is something in common we are all using:
1300w ps
9800x3D cpu (liquid cooler)
64GB 6000mhz ram
4090 gpu
Crucial T705 ssd
Pimax Crystal vr

I hope at some the option to allow users to download the full 1.5tb game. Maybe this would solve all our problems.
Update: Since I was using the Steam version, I downloaded the MS Gamepass version, hoping maybe it was a Steam problem, but no luck. One crash to spinning wheel, and two full crash to reboots. Got about 2-3 minutes out of each of the three flights before they crashed. I didn’t even try using VR on these three flights. Typically 99% of the time I am using vr. It didn’t seem to make a difference as I didn’t even get that far to try it.
I also updated the Nvidia driver to the latest hotfix 566.45, and that also did not help.
I am getting the exact same crashes and am absolutely frustrated with the MS/ Asobo team who cant get their ■■■■ straight. I also really agree with this memory leak theory you have. I feel this CTD started with the last upate in FS2020. I have played it for 4 yrs and never had as many random CTD’s as i did with FS2020 in the last few months on the year. To the point that FS2020 was un playable , and i was looking forward to the ’ Better’ sim, FS2024.
Well, same horrible coding issue seems to have happened with FS2024 and 100% worse now, CTD;s every time, completely random, and inevitably its the 0xc00005 [ out of memory] code in event viewer.
I cannot explain enough my frustration/ anger and bitter dissappointment at Asobo. All they want to do is make amazing videos [like they did for 2024] / Over promise and under -deliver.
The only thing that works well in FS2024 is the opening video; thats it. after that, its a ■■■■ show. random CTD;s, within seconds of hitting FLY NOW. some just in the menu.
Had the Same issued with Gaya EDDF. Replaced it with Aerosoft EDDF and this solved my CTDs at this Airport.
So maybe its faulty scenery?
Have tried multiple locations. I have nothing in my community folder.
So , to summarize, i was havng constant CTD’s in FS2024, with the error/ code 0xc00005.
i tried all the fixes as described above, including updating drivers, BIOS, increased page file but nothing worked. When i opened a Zendesk ticket for this error code 0xc00005, the zendesk page said that people with i9-13900 processors may have CTD’s due to damage to processors due to some voltage issue with certain motherboards [ Like ASUS motherboards], and Asobo/ Zendesk recommended opening a ticket with Intel [there is a separate topic on this elsewhere].
So i opened a ticket with Intel, and got my replacement i9-13900K CPU yesterday. I replaced my old CPU with this one. Incidentally, i felt like two of my memory sticks were VERY VERy slightly not fully seated in their slots. When i pressed down on them, i heard a satisfying click.
Today there was also a small update to the sim. Anyway, i have FINALLY completed two full flights of FS2024 and they were rock solid and smooth from start to finish! I also went into VR, and there were no CTD’s there either!
Previously i also would have to reboot my PC after a long flight [ as if i didnt, my PC would crash]. But this time. I flew 2 VFR flights in VR, without rebooting my PC and both were smoot hand rock solid!
So for other with the Intel i9-13 or i9-14oo CPU’s look into this issue. Also make sure your RAM is properly seated in the slots.
Crazy, I came here to try to help you but it looks like you got it fixed. My guess was also ram as the same thing happened to me:
When I initially added comments to this forum, I hadn’t had any issues with any games, and I had set aside pretty much all other games just to play MS2024. it had worked a few days before all the issues and CTD. At the time I wasn’t playing any games. Only MS2024 and since it wasn’t working I just hung up playing anything, and only loaded MS2024 daily to see it crash and give up again, Well I finally decided like a few weeks later to try iRacing. It started crashing to desktop too. I was like what the heck? I never EVER had a problem with my system prior.
So since nothing was working, I think I reloaded my OS again. Since the OS was eliminated I had to look at hardware. Here is what I did:
- I had three SSDs. Since two weren’t in use, I took them out.
- I have two 32gb ram sticks. I swapped the placement, of course reseating in the process.
- Since I was running out of ideas, I even pulled my 4090 card, unplugged power, and plugged it all back in.
After doing so, everything has worked perfectly. Not one crash in iRacing, which was my first test, but then not one crash in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 either. I have now flown the last 2-3 weeks at least a dozen times for an hour or two or three each session. Maybe one crash, but possibly zero. The only issue I do have (along with other MS bugs) is the game every single time I load it, it thinks it crashed prior, yet every time I exit the game it is clean. I wonder if there is some switch I turned on to pop up safe mode that I forgot about.)
So that is my recommendation to anyone too. Reseat your ram. Reseat your video card. It worked for me. It was crashing every time I’d load iRacing or MS2024 prior, and after, it works perfectly.
I was literally going to order a new Motherboard before my hardware troubleshooting steps fixed it. I thought something on the motherboard went bad. I could have reseated my processor too, but I wanted to start with the other items first and luckily it worked.
Next I will start to contribute to MS bugs as I have noticed many so far.

I’ve been debugging flight simulators since 1984. ![]()
Hello. I feel your pain because I am in the exact same boat (air flying boat in this case).
My sim is crashing to desktop on 100% of flights now. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it is just after I entered all info in the FMS, listened to clearance, ATIS, started up and taxied to hold short line and then it freezes and then goes to desktop. Other times it’s worse and during 4 hour planned flight, on the decent after about 3.5 hours as I am about to enter the initial approach fix for the ILS, it just goes blank and crashes to desktop.
These have got to stop and I blame this 100% on the sim.
I’ve tried everything that I see posted on threas or youtube videos.
I have:
Win 11
GeForce RTX 4070
Ryzen 9 7900X
32gb RAM
64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
using Meta Quest 3 VR for all flights. (I’ll never got back to 2D desktop now).
Plus I have internet speed of 1000 mbps download and 100+ mbps upload
I have set my settings in the sim to pretty low, considering what my computer should easily be able to handle. (mostly Low or Medium settings the VR graphic settings, and lower end for other settings. Some are even set to ‘off’)
I am a not a computer programer, I don’t know how to go into deep hidden files and ‘re-program’ my software.
What do I do?
This crashing to desktop on 100% of all flights has got to stop! As I said, there is no reason to it. It happens at different airports, areas, different phases of the flight, sometimes after a long flight and landed and about to taxi off the runway and boom it just crashed to desktop. Sometimes on the way up to altitude. Sometimes aftter going through all the planning, setup, startup, take-off, climb and level off and just settling in for a 2 or 3+ hour flight and then boom it crashed to desktop.
Why are there not more posts about this?
Sorry for the rant here. I am just wondering what you did to fix this. Is it fixable?
Your post is about 2-3 months old.
What did you do?
What do I do?
This is causing more frustration than this game may be worth. (maybe, although I see the light and have seen it’s potential and now I’ve been spoiled) I want this to work, but I just need to know it works, everytime.
I give MSFS 2024 a 1 out of 10 score. It has the potential to go off the scale way over 10 but it has to work, everytime. It can’t just do this any time it wants and just shut down right in the middle of a flight every single time.
I am at my wits end here. What do I do? I am not a programmer.
Sorry to hear this.
I would try some basic fault seeking.
Does the crash happen without the meta quest?
Monitor cpu & gpu temperatures - are they ok?
clean the air filters if you have them
Clean the cpu & gpu cooling vanes
is the power supply adequate for the rest of your kit?
If your skills are up to it to do it safely remove and refit the graphics card, memory, hard drive - something could be seated ever so slightly incorrectly
Those are the things I would consider. In the first instance it sounds like overheating or an overloaded or failing PSU. Best of luck.
I suddenly began to have ctd on every play just the other day. Going into career mode and sitting in the HQ, trying to select a mission from the map, or flying all led to a ctd before I could start or finish any mission. Very frustrating. I verified Steam files, checked drivers, rebooted, turned off any and all overlays but nothing worked. It was about 5 sessions in a row trying to get a mission done.
The faulting module was both coherantuigt.dll and WTF.dll (hilariously and aptly named .dll in this situation if I’ve ever heard one.)
I decided to give deleting the rolling cache a try since I figured if an asset was corrupted during download the game would continuously try to use it over and over without ever overwriting it or re-downloading it. Well it worked. I now have ran over 10 missions without having a ctd (except for one where clicking on “file with atc” before the mission would result in a ctd, so I just stopped doing it for that one mission).
I’m sure these crashes are multi-faceted and not due to one problem, but if you are experiencing them I feel for you and would suggest deleting your rolling cache as a potential fix.
No CTD since release, and the last 2 times I played the game in the last 2 weeks, I had 4 in total.
FS 2024 SU1.
CTD because of CoherentUIGT.dll and WTF.dll and mialloc.dll.
Every time I was in the A350 with BATC and Trafic injected.
Yesterday : LFPG to KBOS, 3 CTD during flight.
Today, I launch a flight (WSSS to NZAA so the route is not the cause), 1h after departure, CTD.
I launched the flight again without BATC and for now, everything is fine.
Nothing changed from my side except for A350 updates and BATC updates.
I will try to update FSLTL Trafic models because my prime suspect is BATC for now.
I don’t even mentionjh CTD while I launch the game after 1 CTD, so crashing while in the main menu and just clicking a button.
It verry annoying not to have more precise causes of CTDs and I feel like we can’t report them correctly to Asobo and the game doesn’t feel solid at all with all the streaming data I suspect that CTD can happen everytime because of a server side streaming issue.
I have had 15 CTD’s in the last 2 days, randomly flying A350 and Fenix a321 also BATC for traffic injection? Did you fix yours
For now I tried 1 flight in A350 without BeyondATC and had no crash.
I need to try another long haul this week end to validate if the problem is BeyondATC or A350.
