There are many threads about CTD during MSFS 2020 loading. They include some workarounds, but none of these threads have the “bug logged” tag. I want this thread to be a main thread where players affected by this issue can post. The game developers should take this CTD seriously and work together w…

Today, a new NVIDIA driver update was released (more details here ), along with an update for MSFS 2020. This MSFS update finally fixes the CTD issue that occurred when launching the simulator with DX11 - they’ve finally fixed it. EDIT I tested MSFS 2020 without the NVIDIA app installed. So if you…

[image] DrDave9011: Why would they leave DX11 in the settings? DX11 and DX12 are still part of MSFS - nothing has changed there, which is why DX11 is still available in the settings. As for CTDs during loading, it’s still unclear whether the issue comes from Asobo, Microsoft, Nvidia or someth…

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it? • Yes, CTD before main menu, although I do not have the Nvidia app installed, just the latest drivers. Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue: • I clean install updated from Win 10 to Win…

This worked for me, thanks. Now its time to download everything from the content manager again :skull:

[image] tb32: So I tried the steps, and did a clean install of MSFS, but it still crashes before the main menu. Workaround below. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/msfs-2020-ctd-during-loading-with-or-without-nvidia-app-installed-dx11/732584/12?u=tenpatrol

Very kind of you, but I did see your other post. Since then, I’ve actually tested all my addon airports, and with only Chaseplane and a couple aircraft I’m waiting for, I fully switched to 2024. Thanks for taking the time though!.

I’m starting to think that MSFS is trying to do something with “DLSS / Framegen” in DX11 when it’s not allowed. That would clear up why it work in DX12 and also why it still work in DX11 without HAGS because no FG without it.(HAGS). Lets just hope Asobo/MS do something. If they have proper QA and …

I remember the first time I encountered this DX11 error was when I received the first batch of updates for RTX 50 series support for the Nvidia package (Driver and App). Until then, MSFS was working normally. Something at Nvidia changed (my assumption) that caused this side effect in MSFS (my guess)…

This worked for me, very easy to do. Thank you for your efforts

[image] TenPatrol: ng from driver version 580.88 CTD during loading happens even without the NVIDI I’m experiencing the same issue with my RTX 5060. I reverted back to driver 576.88 and uninstalled the NVIDIA app. With this setup, I can use DX11 again. However, even in this setup, I still ge…

Which nVIDIA driver are you using ?
