FSR 2 & Adrenalin - getting CTDs

User Support Hub Hardware & Peripherals

Hi, after installing SU11, I thought I try the FSR-feature. Therefore, I also updated the Driver-SW of my GPU. Unfortunately, I am now getting CTDs during startup of the sim, happened even in Safe Mode:

“Your graphics device has encountered a problem and MS Flight Simulator will exit. This may be due to graphics card overclocking, overheating or due to a driver fault.”

Testwise I renamed the Community-folder - same result
I am not doing any graphics card overclocking
Overheating not the case
Driver fault - I have the latest available Adrenalin driver.

My setup:

  • MB X570 Aorus Ultra

  • Ryzen9 3900X

  • 64GB DDR4 RAM

  • Gigabyte Radeon RX5700

  • Adrenalin 22.10.3 (Oct 2022)

  • Corsair Force MP600 SSD (10GB of 930GB free)

  • Win11

  • Display: Windowed, 3 monitors put together (activated under "Experimental)

  • Resolution 1920x1080

  • AMD FSR 2

  • Balanced

  • DX12

  • Global Rendering: High-End

And - before I forget: In Adrenalin, I am now getting displayed “Alien Isolation” as last played game instead of the MSFS2020, since I have updated the driver - interesting.

Anyone an idea? Thanks.

Try to roll back to an older driver and wait untill the next update of the Adrenalin driver.

Tried that, having now 22.5.1 again, but getting crashes with same messsage again.

4

Can you try the AMD Cleanup utility and after that installing the basic driver only without any Radeon stuff.

Thanks. Tried that as well, but no luck. Still crashing. I think it is an DX12 issue. When I roll back to DX11, CTDs seem to be gone (no time for longer flight testing at the moment, only a quick test)

Your issue is 22.10.3

that driver is not stable for MSFS. Try 22.10.2 it is very stable for MSFS SU10 and 11

Where can I find this one, could you pls point me to it? I was at the official AMD-page - the only one for Win11 and RX5700 I found, was this one (Oct 2022), and that from May 2022. Thanks

EDIT: Found it and will try, thx

After numerous restarts I can say that I am sure I have found the issue:

Experimental / Multi Window: As I have 3 screens, I have activated the feature. In combination with DX12, this does not work yet.

After going back by deleting the additional windows, changing to “Window” instead of full screen, and dragging the single screen over 3 screens (as before the last months without problem), DX12 and FSR also works on my setup (tested for a while in a flight over NYC).

Hy, Have the same CTD problem with AMD driver. Same Error massage as the Topic Author…
I havent any multi monitor setup
Rolled back after using amd cleaner to 22.10.2 but everytime a start a flight, a few seconds later after flying the massage appears. I used it in quality and Performance Mode, no difference.
When I switch so dx11 all went fine…
Use a Vega56 and would appriciate the FSR function =)

I have an rx6800 and never had that issue. I did the minimal install. I find the full install tend to create more issues.

11

have tried it too, also a install without adrenalin, so driver only… no chance!
I tried it again at the moment. The funny thing is when I start the flight and I rolling around on the ground, there are no issues. but as soon as i takeoff and gain some altitude, a few seconds later driver error from AMD =( an a black screen in MSFS occurs

I’ve had a black screen once with msfs but it happened because windows updated and override the drivers. Can’t remember which setting changed but what I did is disable windows from installing the display drivers.
So far it’s been a pretty stable experience.
I’m using the latest WQHL driver.
