Game is crashing intermittently?

I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoy FS2020; great game and I’ve had decent performance from release up to this last week. But lately I’m getting intermittent crashes to the desktop after 1-6 hours of gameplay. Sometimes it’s triggered if I access the VFR map outside the plane (external camera mode) while flying, other times it happens right after a small stutter, then a freeze, then crashes to desktop?
This has happened at least 4-5 times over the last 8 -9 days or so.

My computer is fully capable of running the game at high to ultra high settings; Intel i9 9900K cpu, 32 gigs of ram, Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 Super with 8 gigs vram, and a 1TB Samsung M.2 NVME SSD. All the drivers are up to date and the latest Win 10 64bit updates, etc.

I’m pretty patient and realize all new games have bugs, etc that will get worked out over time. But this needs to get resolved and I’m not spending any more money in the market for new planes, etc until there’s some resolution through Asobo and Microsoft. Uninstalling Windows and reinstalling is a band-aid fix that doesn’t address the root of the problem. I know other players are experiencing similar problems from looking over previous posts. This game has ENORMOUS potential and will only get better as time goes on. I have the DXdiag file if it’s needed. Also I checked Windows “Event Viewer” and saw “App crash faults” attached to FS2020 executable.

Microsoft and Asobo please help. Thank you…

It’s a common problem in the latest update. I’ll read your post more thoroughly tho to see if there is anything else that can cause it

agree with your sentiments but do us all a favour and send your report with attachments to the zendesk links on this site. the more data they have the better - that is if they’re not just binning the reports :-/

Ah yes I see you are opening the vfr map. This is a known issue. A work around is to open the vfr map as soon as you are in game. Although this doesn’t work for everyone. Rest assured it is not your pc. Its the latest update.

Agree with this also :grin:

Will do. Thanks for the tip…

Same issue here. Game sometimes crashes to desktop immediately after VFR map is clicked while in external view. Irritating to say the least, even more so with random and, as yet, unresolved issues with A/P (mainly ALT hold reverting to -200 ft, from 9k ft, when selected which causes overstressed aircraft crashes).
