Somehow I’m stuck in an endless re-install loop attempt, after a full, clean removal. Yes, I read the other folks that have had those issues before, and am not using any VPN, and have a fast connection both to the net:
and to MS while it’s actually downloading.
However, after attempting to perform a completely clean install (uninstall what’s there, delete C:\Users%myusername%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\etc, reboot) then starting 1/7/2022 ~6:30am local, this happens at 8:55am:
It freezes while decompressing, and would not ever finish. At 10:30am local, I killed the process, uninstalled what was there, removed the folders in the boot drive again
and started again at 10:30am. At 1:23pm local, it went from 89% back to 37%:
Tuesday I was flying fine for hours, in both VR with live weather on, all the way until 12:42am on Wednesday,1/5.
Here’s the lead up to the reinstall attempt, starting with the mysterious 1/5/2022 at 5:40pm lcoal, when the sim just decided to be a turdball. Since 5:40pm Wednesday afternoon, I couldn’t even start the sim without a CTD within 10 minutes.
For giggles, here’s all the timestamps for Flightsimulator.exe (1.21.13) faulting application with Exception code: 0xc0000005, with FlightSimulator.exe being the faulting module unless otherwise stated, starting 1/5/2022:
5:40:16 PM (Normal Mode, Community Full, Lots of payware, VR, Live Weather, FSEcononmy flight attempt)
6:55:41 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, VR, FSEeconomy flight attempt)
7:21:01 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR FSEcononmy flight attempt)
7:49:12 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR)
8:13:06 PM (Same, but faulting module was: WwiseLibPCx64P.dll instead of FlightSimulator.exe, but still FS as faulting app)
8:36:48 PM (Normal Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR)
8:43:01 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, VR)
9:29:16 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR)
9:53:00 PM (Normal Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR, faulting module was: WwiseLibPCx64P.dll)
10:11:49 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR, faulting module was: WwiseLibPCx64P.dll)
Sleepy time. I figured I’d wait for 1.21.18 on 1/6 to fix everything. So on 1/6 after the 1.13.18 update:
12:35:57 PM (Normal Mode, Crashed at menu, faulting module was RenoirCore.WindowsDesktop.dll)
12:42:42 PM (Safe Mode, Crashed at “fly now.” Faulting module was: WwiseLibPCx64P.dll)
1:06:21 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR)
1:13:04 PM (Safe Mode, Crashed at “fly now.”)
2:18:12 PM (Faulting module was: WwiseLibPCx64P.dll)
2:56:36 PM (Crashed while sitting at main menu)
3:06:22 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR
3:24:23 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR, Faulting module was: ucrtbase.dll)
3:56:01 PM (Normal Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR)
4:36:16 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, VR)
5:10:54 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR)
5:26:10 PM (Safe Mode, Community Folder Empty, No VR)
At this point, I decided for the full “delete it all and start over!”
Since the CTD fest started, I had two CTDs on 12/28, One on 12/15, One on 12/4, one on 12/2.
What are other odd the symptoms shown in Event Viewer?
- A handful “surprise disk 6 removed” which after some digging is a virtual disk, that I am assuming FS sets up during the download process, like this:
I have 5 physical drives, including a dedicated 2TB drive for FS:
- A ton of “DistributedCOM” events all pertaining to Microsoft.GameApp and lack of server permission:
Not sure if the XBox app is being cranky?
Anyway, I’m on my Nth attempt at a reinstall, with everything looking. . .weird.
Anyone have any magical fixes? I’m hoping that as soon as I post this, everything will start working. See? Reverse pyschology program!
Or. . .if I figure something out, I’ll let everyone know! Happy flying, to those of you that aren’t having problems!
Oh, sys specs:
Win10
i9-9900k
RTX3099 (497.29 drivers)
32MB DDR3600
A lot of SSDs
MS store version
Edit:
No joy. Loopdy-loop continues!
