Hi,
Just tried another IFR flight with the Fenix A320, and Discord OFF, but it only lasted about 25 minutes. Then CTD.
I’m also experiencing regular CTDs in the last few weeks. Hardly ever had CTD’s until then. Done the usual, cache, drivers, empty Community folder etc. Nothing overlocked.
Exception code: 0xc0000005
I’ve been having exactly the same CTD issue since SU12.
I’ve tried everything including reformatting Windows 11, flashing my bios, complete reinstallation of MSFS, dramatically reduced community folder to eliminate potential add on offenders, I’ve even disabled Data Execution Prevention (DEP). I still get CTD’s, not every time I fly, but every two or three flights.
I’m fairly confident it’s not a problem my end, and rather something that SU12 has introduced.
I’m no longer looking for a fix, but an acknowledgement from Asobo that they are aware of the issue would be nice.
I thought I had solved the problem, but it has returned.
Symptom: about 60-90 minutes into the flight, CTD. Often after top-of-descent (TOD).
Current suspicion: Traffic.
I’ve been experimenting over the past 3 days with the PMDG 737; here are the results for 5 flights (all with TCAS turned off):
- No traffic at all (not AI offline, not live): 4 successful 1-2 hour flights.
- AI offline traffic on: 1 failure (CTD), no successes.
I will continue experimenting.
I increased my pagefile to minimum 16gb maximum 64gb and I have 32gb physical ram. I use the offline GA traffic mod and FSLTL traffic injector. Since I did this I have not had one ctd in about 15 flights now in dx12 beta. I also changed my xmp profile from xmp ll to xmp l.
Before I had set it to min 16gb max 32gb and was still getting crashes. I can’t say this is what cured the ctd’s definitively but it’s worth a shot for all still having these crashes.
I have a similar issue, however mine seems to be related to Navigraph, I have tested it and:
- It crashes when I click on a live player
- Safe mode works as you would expect, can click on a player without crashing
3)Disbaled all Add-ons from Community folder using Add-on linker, which left around 12 to 15 still in there, it still crashed. - I removed Airac 2304 rev.3 and tried again, no crashes! I’m sure its no coincidence but not sure where the fault lies

Hi,
After lots of trouble shooting and countless restarts of MSFS, I “may” have found what caused the CTDs on MY system. This may NOT apply to yours.
To make things short, it was an outdated addon, called ShorterTreesARIFSTUDIOSV4. Only by accident did I find out that there was a newer version called ShortestTreesARIFSTUDIOSV5_efDR.
Removing the old ShorterTrees and replacing then with the ShortestTrees seemed to have solved my CTDs, at least for now.
Fingers crossed.
So an outdated addon was causing your issue? I seem to be having similar CTD issues when pressing the “FLY NOW” button. Earlier post suggested that most likely this is an addon issue whenever this type of crash happens. If I disable the community folder and start in safe mode the sim works, so it’s likely one of those mods causing it. The question is how to rule out which one? Do I just uninstall one by one?
Hi,
I have well over 1000 addons for MSFS
Using AddonLinker, I was able to group my addons. Like one for certain geographic areas, for aircaft, for airports, scenery enhancements, liveries, aircraft enhancements etc. This allows me to turn certain groups on or off.
Even with this great help, it requires a restart of MSFS whenever I made a change to my addons. However in the long run it seemed to have worked.
BUT, there is always a chance that some other reason causes the CTDs
Thanks, i’ll have to check out addon linker
After further experimentation, I am now virtually certain that using AI Offline Traffic is the cause. Every flight without this on completes beautifully, and every flight of 60+ minutes with it turned on crashes to desktop.
It seems bizarre to me that AI Offline Traffic causes CTD, but Live Traffic does not!
Until just now when I found this other thread from a couple of years ago on this forum (summary: Offline Traffic uses static .BGL files, and they can become problematic):

OMG, OMG,OMG, Your ‘Cure’ may just have ‘Cured’ my CTD aswell. Turned off Offline AI Traffic and just completed first flight (EIDW to EGLL), in 4 flights.
I have also turned off FSTL & Pilot2ATC, Sim-Connect but will turn these back on one at a time.
Thank you for posting your cure, which ‘Maybe’ MY CURE!!

unfortunately, after 2 weeks without CTD I am having it again … mostly when changing view inside the cockpit and dense city/airport area … I am turning msi, discord, etc. off … but still having sudden CTD’s … I had offline traffic always turned off so this is also no solution for me
One I had on final to Bratislava (aerosoft) and two while approaching Split (LSPD) → here there are several bing/elevation issues which are logged now via orbx and Asobo
Some good tips here ..
reinstall msfs and windows is missing

Did it cure the problem still?
I’m so done with all these CTD’s, I just can’t fly any more. I will turn off traffic tomorrow and see if that helps.
Are you just talking about plane traffic here, not cars and ships?
I have narrowed it down to my stream deck - but most of you do not have it - did a nvidia rollback to March version and now I am running stable.
I also had several scenery issues - I had 3rd party sceneries older than 3 years - they caused also some CTD’s.
When we talk about traffic, it is on/offline plane traffic, yes. Objects on and around airfields will also consume ressources - workers, static planes etc… (these are also contributing to those typical stutters on finals)
Yes it most certainly did. Not had ONE CTD since doing the above fix. Am now just using FSTL as my injector for Aircraft in game. (Not on Vatsim).
Try it, it might work for you!!
Sadly no joy for me. Just tried it, and another CTD five minutes in

Interestingly, I repeated the flight after with a completely empty community folder and in a short 30 minute flight including takeoff and landing I didn’t experience a crash, the first time in a while.
If an add on is the culprit, is there a way to narrow down which add on it might be?
