Keep crashing to desktop

[Syarasd]

Hello,first of all….i use RTX 3080 Ti, 64 Gb of RAM and i9-11900K and 850W PSU…the game installed on my 970 Evo Plus ssd,i already update to the latest NVIDIA Driver and also Windows to the latest version…my pc is brand new i just bought it like 2 weeks ago…i run the game on 4K,all settings to Ultra with reso scale 100%…i got 45-60FPS…it’s playable, so with this information i think the crash to desktop isn’t caused by my specs…

altough,i have addons installed,i download all of the addons from flightsim.to website…neither of the addons come from FS STORE…also i play the game with Nvidia Overlay turned on because i use to enhance the looks of the sim…what do u guys think causing the crash to desktop…my RTX my Processor is running on normal temp while gaming… also,there isn’t any popup when the game crashed…here’s the addons.

Remove the Addons from your community folder than restart the sim. If you have no CTD, then it is a third party Addon that is causing it. Now install one Addon at a time, restart the sim to see if that Addon is causing the CTD.

[Syarasd]

okay…let’s say i have removed all the 3rd party addons…and the problem is solved…is there any way i can safely use the addons again without me CTD? btw the CTD happens every around 20 mins of playing and also afk in the main menu…so i should put one by one addons back and see if in 20 mins the game will crash or no?

[Beechc23]

You will have to test each one to see if it causes a CTD. If an Addon does CTD, do not use it until the creator updates it.

[Syarasd]

is it possible that the CTD comes from my Virtual Memory? the Virtual Memory set to “system managed size” and currently allocated is 9728 MB…should i increase it or leave it as default?

[DerWolleX]

It’s better to set a static size, mine ist 24 GB Minimum and 24 GB Max.

[candykatx]

You have 64 gb of Ram , set a smallish page file if you want

But it’s more likely that one of your add ons is causing CTD

A good way to check and maybe easier as you get your mods from flight sim.to is to check if the add on is SU8 compatible, it will show on the download page in green , if it is red then remove it until the developer updates it like someone said earlier

[DORRAGER]

Have you got (HAGS)Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling turned on? as have been having an issue for last 4 GPU drivers causing the sim to crash with this enabled.

[Syarasd]

i just removed all of the addons from community folder…and it’s still CTD…

[Syarasd]

yeah it turned on actually should i turn it off?

i just removed all of the addons from community folder…and it’s still CTD…

show us the message from windows event logger…

PS: and just in case you are also a user which had googe maps add-on installed, clean the windows host file and restart pc.

PPS:: and update your mods if you later on use these again ( after you find the cause )… I see at least pushback is outdated.

[Syarasd]

hey,i don’t know how to see the message from windows event logger can u help me?

and also i use google maps replacement…how to clean windows host file?

even i use the bing map " not using google maps mod,but it’s installed on my PC" the game still CTD

@Syarasd

windows event logger

I quickly link a short description and a link to detailed docu:

Game Crashes at Launch

currently errors are only logged within the Windows Event Viewer ( example howto https://www.howtogeek.com/123646/htg-explains-what-the-windows-event-viewer-is-and-how-you-can-use-it/ ) Go throught the folders shown in left panel and search for Flight…Sim Errors. May be you have a summarized “Admin… View” : [image] Important is then the message printed in “General” Tab right side. no… precondition is only that US is installed. Your windows can still run in your main language. If installin…

@Syarasd

how to clean windows host file?

I assume you not need to clean, you can remove it ( if unsure move the file to e.g. desktop ) :

go to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and remove the “hosts” file… reboot pc then.

This is a big trouble maker and may your issue is with this fixed.

@Syarasd

even i use the bing map " not using google maps mod,

thats the worst thing with that mod ;)… if you not use the un-installer, the changes in hosts file are persistent.

the unlucky …00005

This can have unfortunality a lot of reasons, because its the common error.

You should start with stoping all applications which running in parallel, in faq is also a list of know trouble makers ( like capture one , sound drivers, etc. ).

If this not help, try to limit your fps in nividia control panel to a low value ( e.g. 30 ).

Also, often some devices cause issues. In case you have a lot connected, try with disconnect them or use powered hub.

Also not forget to do the usually things , like remove the rolling cache file.

And… in case you set DX12-Beta in sim, use DX11 ( stable ).

[Syarasd]

btw i use DS4WINDOWS for my controller…is that causing the CTD?

[Syarasd]

[quote=“MichaMMA, post:15, topic:506608”]
like remove the rolling cache file.
[/q

so you mean Rolling Cache are off? or just remove it and create a new rolling cache
?

[MichaMMA]

you can let re-create it in-game… delete and create new one ( not strange size, max 32gig )

@Syarasd

DS4WINDOWS

I have no experiance with it… but I see, there are many topics in forum : Search results for 'DS4WINDOWS order:latest' - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

[Syarasd]

okayy…so u recommended me to uninstall the Google Maps replacement mod? but how to uninstall it?

[MichaMMA]

have you cleaned the hosts file ?.. thats the most important point…
