SU8 has certainly spiked CTDs for me, during finals or taxiing after landing (both after long flights only). To the effect that I’ve removed almost all mods (freeware or not) in a futile effort to isolate the one(s) that do the damage. Once again instead of flying, I’m being the beta tester.
I’ve even had vcruntime140 errors that I hadn’t seen for more than a year, obviously without changing anything in the PC. This will quickly turn into yet another thread where those without CTDs will start blaming the end users and will be very quick to jump in and defend Asobo, offering very little useful feedback anyway.
We’re still 1.5 years after release in a software title that we knew from the very beginning that would be ULTRA-DEPENDENT on 3rd party mods, yet it can still crash because of a single faulty livery (which perhaps was working up until SU7 but now doesn’t work with SU8). Or because there’s non-existent sandboxing to protect the core sim from badly written mods or mods that simply stopped working due to undocumented Asobo changes (has already happened).
Not to mention we still don’t have a meaningful debugger or dump tool to somehow figure out what was it that broke the sim. Most of the CTDs are simply 0x…05 errors of core .exe. Good luck finding it out what it was when you have 100GB of mods in your community folder. Happy debugging, all. It’s the same sad story after every single update.
