Discussion: Update #5 Hotfix (1.10.8.0)

I was having that problem, too. I solved it by “emptying” my community folder, except for the livery I have been using, and a mod to make those labels disappear when you hover over a switch or dial.

Haven’t had a CTD since. Knock on wood.

Something in my community folder was causing it. What, I don’t know, and it’ll be a pain in the ■■■ to figure it out, considering I have ~500 mods. (But that sounds like more than it really is, the overwhelming majority is the megapack liveries from Clink.)

PS… When I say I emptied my community folder, I don’t mean I deleted anything. I just created a subdirectory called “Retired” and moved everything (except the two I mentioned) into there.

Have you emptied your community folder?

So what? Seriously, yes it’s a bug, and yes, they’ll eventually get around to fixing it, but it doesn’t break the sim, it doesn’t affect performance, it doesn’t do ANYTHING except flash lightning and make thunder sounds in inappropriate places.

Submit a zen ticket and then enjoy flying with inappropriately placed lightning until they fix it, which they will.

Going around forums continually whining and moaning about it is fruitless. And annoying.

Clearly you don’t know that the problem wasn’t lightening. So, make sure you educate yourself before lecturing!! Oh, and I’ll whine all I want to, then you very much.💩

wow, my sim freezes sometimes for 1 whole minute, then comes back. eventually total freeze but windows is still running fine.

This worked brilliantly! Thank you so much!

Have you posted a ZENDESK ticket yet? And if so, what is the status of the ticket currently. Make sure to detail everything for them and they will fix it. Much of your ZD ticket could be copied and pasted right from this post.

Mine freezes for 30 seconds to minutes at a time, then comes back. I guess they are coffee breaks?

Fly button isn’t working for me now.

Thanks @Thelonious7508. That worked. Much appreciated.

Will use it as a temp fix until either windows updates Defender or Asobo releases another hotfix.

i’d like you to be more specific on that idea. I just noticed that some flight training and the A320 neo where not up to date. And when i check/highlight them, there is no where mentionned “download” :thinking:

It sounds like you are in the right area. Unfortunately, it also sounds like there is something wrong with your installation. An almost sure fire fix is uninstall and reinstall. You might try Zendesk to see if they have a less radical idea. If you do uninstall remove everything from your community folder first.

here you are


and

on this last one, you can see an update avlbl for EKCH from FlyTampa, and for that one, the option download was visible, and worked

since the correction on their last patch/update, it looks now that i have 2 versions of the game.

Ok, good to know. Thank you for your enlightenmend.
Happy flying

I did but haven’t check it’s status yet.

Just checked. It’s status is “solved”?! But no any detail was given. So I am not sure how and where they solved it without any patch or advices to me.

I changed my monitor sharpening level from 4 to 1 (6 is max). Ground scenery (trees and buildings) are much better now, but clouds still show “net” patterns in the area just “refreshed” by the propeller. I guess that’s due to another image issue.

Still I am not sure what “solved” status meant. No way could they have known that my monitor settings were adjusted, or could they?

Solved doesn’t mean they fixed it, it means it has been accepted as a defect, and added to a internal bug tracker. It will be fixed in a future update, but you don’t get anything more back from them as presumably they were able to replicate the issue.

This, and other things, are explained on the Zendesk FAQ.
