ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
CTD during flights non-stop. It has been happening where the game would pause for a split second, the audio would cut off for that split second, after that the audio I was hearing before comes back but then it just crashes. I was hoping this would get fixed in SU_2 but turns out not.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
•Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
•For background, I have a four year old Lenovo laptop, Nvidia 3050 graphics with 4Gb. Main memory 16Gb. 1Tb SSD where I run FS2024 and I run FS2020 on a separate 5Tb SSD.

This system though a very minimum for MSFS, worked with acceptable frame rates of about 20fps in the first release of FS2024 and never had any freezes or crashes. Of course I had to set all graphics settings to minimums but this was reasonable for me.

Lately however I have seen fps drop, in FS2024 only, to unuseable levels, and worse, the sim now has started freezing on almost a regular basis of about once per hour. I suspect something has changed in the most recent release of 2024 that might be causing it to be more prone to freezing if it requires more computer resoures than before.

I have updated the graphics driver and renamed the Community folder to hide it from FS but this has made no difference - still getting the sim freeze often.

When it freezes there is no message on screen, it just becomes unresponsive to any input from keyboard or controllers. If I was running LNM or web browser at the same time, those still work as normal. I can use task manager to close FS and restart it, and it will work fine for a variable length of time then will freeze.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
•Nothing to show, the sim looks completely normal until it just stops.

I had this same exact problem since Sim Update 3 Beta (1.5.19.0) I have reinstall the game and nvidia drivers which didn’t help the issue. Also tried doing a flight earlier today and everything was fine until I came out of VR and the game totally froze. Other times previous to today with Beta v.1.5.19.0 it would randomly freeze on game load around 98% or in mid-flight.

same problem. random freezes since 2 days

Just found this after experiencing crashes in 2024 after not having any whatsoever even on release. Had 2 in the past few days.

I am currently experiencing this same issue. Is 2024 abandoned or is it still being worked on? This has been going on for some time now.

I tried everything (drivers community empty, fresh instal msfs2024), so eventually I did an entire fresh instal of my system (format the drives fresh), no success, same error, hope someone sees this before they follow me down the cliff on this BS.
What’s going on honestly, I did a flight of 7 hours last weekend.

Ok, I think I found something, there was a really old post I found on this forum, after I did this I had no CTD since:
