Fix Sim Update 5 crashes! Simple tip!

Hello everyone,

I changed the rolling cache setting and from then I have had not one crash to desktop with Sim Update 5. This method has also worked for many others and might help your crashing issues!

Steps below:

Delete rolling cache
Set the limit to your liking (mine is 150GB as I have quite a bit of space on my SSD)
Allow the sim to remake the cache file
Quit MSFS
Reload
Done!

Video below for a visual guide!

Hope it helps!

Couldnā€™t you just tell us on the forum. Why make a video, to subject us to advertising?

No, so it can be shared everywhere easily to help people?

Allow me to summarize - delete your rolling cache.

Yep hopefully that helps!

Nope.

Tried your advice and deleted it again (post SU5).

Did at least get off the ground this time, with about 5 min of flight. Decent FPS, some minor stuttering on occasion, thought ā€œhey - maybe this timeā€¦ā€ then ā€¦ car-assssshhhh. Guess I thought too soon.

Maybe the patchā€™ll get it straightened out.

I have added the steps on the post now. I made the video as a useful tool for the flight sim community - some who have just joined, so they can possibly solve an annoying issue like I did. Simply a method for me to help others and members of this wonderful community.

Letā€™s hope so! Iā€™m thinking it might have to do with the size of the cache as I set mine to quite a large value. Iā€™ll check out this new patch and see

My RC is not even activated, but I get constant freezes and occasional CTDā€˜s

I hope the hotfix will fix thingsā€¦

Itā€™s what streamers do itā€™s a work around for them to self promote

Also you can disable rolling cache you donā€™t actually need to have it running anyway.

Hotfix is now out so I hope your CTDs have been solved! Best of luck!

I really donā€™t understand these comments about the video I posted,

  1. The video shows you a visual guide - it might seem unnecessary but people benefit from watching someone explain and go through the process.

  2. I created the video to help the flight sim community - this was done because I found a fix that I wanted to share with you, thatā€™s it, and now it has created uproar.

  3. The video is embedded meaning if you watch it, it doesnā€™t even bring you to the actual video page. If I was that interested in promotion I wouldā€™ve led you to my channel.

I simply embedded a video so I could help the flight sim community and I find it very disrespectful that I am being criticised for this. I did not imagine me posting a video that may help you on a public forum designed for this will be frowned upon. I didnā€™t want to have to close this thread as I thought this can help so many of you but I had no choice due to some of these reactions I got. It amazes me how toxic this community can be. We can do better than this.
