[FIXED] Random CTDs due to internet and hardware issues

[Spartan4152]

Nice one. I’m not bothering yet with re-installing them. Think I’ll wait a while as I’m flying happily at the moment

One thing I have noticed though with Patch 2 is that you cannot change the joystick sensitivity anymore, the dialog box is very blank. A lot of people have noticed this as well, and I’m hoping they release a patch soon for it.

[CPWaker]

Try this! Remove CTD by lowering GPU speed a bit!

There are no updates on patch 3 yet, but a free World Update is on its way:

Japan World Update

Exciting news The world in Microsoft Flight Simulator is getting a major update, starting with the island nation of Japan on September 29.

Don’t applies to me since my computer is not overclocked since the beginning.

This is Patch 3 …

Looks like the “World Update 1” and “Patch 3” are two different updates.

September 24th, 2020 Development Update - Microsoft Flight Simulator

[BLOG] September 24th, 2020 Development Update

[image] Today, we were happy and proud to announce “World Update I: Japan” at the Tokyo Game Show 2020. As always, it took a village to produce this update and we had the help of many teams inside and outside of Microsoft to make this happen. The Bing Maps team delivered 6 incredible photogrammetry cities and an all-new digital elevation map that increases the detail of the entirety of Japan significantly. We also had help from Gaya Simulations, an excellent scenery and airport developer. Gay…

[ContrivedTea675]

hi, you have to start simulator, and it found update, then it request to update and auto close sim, then in store will update

[Wolfgg]

Forget dude windows store already was installed but don’t show me in the list. After a computer restart because the Nvidia drivers it shows already installed now I’m installing the content. Let see if is this time I be able to play the game. If not crash me any time I start a flight.

[Wolfgg]

Same ■■■■. This patch don’t fix mine crash to destop the same issue remains. I expend my money in a game that I simple can get to play.

Nothing has changed… The funny part is I can fly long flights as long as i am in cruise altitude. THE CTD happens majority of times when descending or landing… specially in scandinavian areas…

[MasterYodakin]

I started changed servers to northern europe even if the ping slightly higher tehn western europe. THis gives me a little bit m,more stable performance.

The ■■■■■■ part is no replies from support on tickets…

[AmbitiousPilots]

Yesterday I was flying together with friends over Ireland. During flight we opened the VFR map which caused FS to crash on two PCs with new Ryzen CPUs.

FS is still not handling its process threads correctly. I run FS on my Intel i5 6600K without issues, but on newer CPUs with more cores and threads the sim struggles.

So all you can do is wait for the developers to finally fix this. All else are temporary fixes that break every time a new update changes the foundation of the sim.

For this very reason even one of the top third party developers postpone their add-on release till late 2021:

…there are still some major technical challenges that remain to be solved before it can adequately support a product as complex as NG3. I am going to whistle-on-by the specifics here because they aren’t important to anyone except the developers involved in the work, but what I can tell you is that we are currently looking at a release timeline for PMDG 737NG3 for MSFS that is out in 3Q21 with some downside risk that it will slide into 4Q21, more than a year from now.
