Hi Again. Now I wonder what is happen again. I have flied in MSFS2020 for a while (with no online services bcs of the problem with the servers for MSFS2020 Grrrr - always got the message that my bandwith is to low). Well this is one problem but not the one I want to discuss here. Well I finally …

[image] FlightCap9642: This is the last screen that appear. The progress bar in bottom of the screen moves very very slow. And then If MSFS 2020 crashes to desktop on the loading screen, there’s a high chance that Nvidia app is causing the issue. I had the same problem -(CTD on laoding screen…

I went to NVidia drivers website Official GeForce Drivers | NVIDIA Put in my details in the manual search table and downloaded the December driver. Ran the installer and ticked the box for clean install at install wizard. The installer takes care of uninstalling old driver. Then rebooted.

I had these issues this morning when I tried the new nVidia driver with the nVidia app out today. Rolling back the driver and uninstalling the nVidia app resolved it. Reinstalling the new driver WITHOUT the nVidia app and everything now works again.

ok cool, will try the new driver without the app later today

Thank you. This was the reason (f-g NVIDIA App) to all problems with both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024. Both are up and running now. Now For the moment I am in the Content Manager in MSFS2020 downloading all missing contents. It seems to work fine but will continue for hours. Thank you All for suppor…

I’m glad that my suggestion about NVIDIA application potentially being the cause of CTD helped you :slight_smile: [image] DLSS is the way. TAA is a wrong approach Virtual Reality (VR) @TenPatrol Success this time loading in to MSFS 2024 as I made sure I didn’t load the nV…

If the cause of CTD was NVIDIA app, as I and @J1mb0G5751 suggested, then as a solution, you should select the post where we indicated that the NVIDIA app might be the root of the CTD. This will help other users in the future who might encounter a similar issue. [image] FlightCap9642: Thank you. …

The more we tweak drivers, DLSS, game files or Windows, the harder it becomes to pinpoint the cause of issues like CTD. Take a moment to think and maybe something will come to mind. For example, could it be some tweaks? DLSS tweaks? Replacing game files?

well I had the same CTD yesterday. MSFS20 ran fine before. I did not change anything but suddenly CTD. Maybe because of some Windows updates that have been done. Anyway I learned in the past that if you don’t change anything but MSFS2020 doesn’t work anymore, this is usually not on our end and ther…

Just to add that rolling back to 566.36 did not fix the CTD while loading. I rolled back to 566.36. Continued to have the failed start (after looking like it was starting). CTD. Then, uninstalled the Nvidia app. Normal MSFS2020 start returned to normal behavior. Reinstalled 572.16 manually, …

Freaking Nvidia app! Just uninstall the app, that’s it. Cheers!

MSFS 2024 refuse to start up - This happens also for MSFS2020
