Non Stop CTDs After SU8

Hello, try this.

42

I am getting tons of CTDā€™s since installing Perfect Flight Beautiful World. I start it and it runs good, until I open VR Map plug-in or RTSS, then immediate CTD. VERY frustrating. Just turned off Motion Blur, which may be helping - not helping.

Also, regarding VR Map (plug-in) v0.0.7, suddenly the Open Street Map no longer works, only the Stamen Terrain. Anybody else with this issue ?

The only way to keep it from happening is to not open RTSS or VR Map plug-in ā€¦

Hi, thanks for your hint.

This need to wait for a couple of days as I will be covered up with other stuff. When I was able to try this I will come back and report the outcome.

I completely agree. Application protection from bad code was supposed to be protected by using MS approved drivers and APIā€™s!

What happened?

Iā€™m in CTD hell.

Well since I wrote that Iā€™ve discovered that I have bad (unflyable) stutters in a lot of areas. Not necessarily heavy / big or photogrammetry cities. Only commonality is built up areas (autogen) but even villages or small towns exhibit the problem. This is AFTER the spinning wheel thingamy has settled down. I donā€™t get it.

Really struggling to diagnose as even with all mods disabled it does it. I havenā€™t had much time to dig into it this weekend so hope to make some progress tomorrow but itā€™s definitely only since SU8. Never had problems like this before and itā€™s really ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  me off now :frowning:

Actually, I did try them lowest settings as I firmly believe this CTD issue may be rooted in the graphics.

Disabling HAGs the last time fixed the issue, then SU8 came along and that didnā€™t fix it this time. Almost seems like itā€™s a caching / buffer overflow issue somewhere.

The CTDā€™s for most seem to happen once the aircraft is active. Iā€™ve noticed just prior to many of my own CTDā€™s, the graphics slow and tear then I get the CTD. That seems to indicate that perhaps a cache of some sort runs out and kaboom. Dunno.

For the heck of it,try to disable the HAGā€™s setting Windows. This fixed many a simmers problems prior to SU8. It didnā€™t fix my CTDā€™s but might fix your stutters.

Sorry I only just seen your reply. HAGS was already off. Tried it switched on just to see and still not good. Seems to be worse when the plane is yawing or pitching very rapidly. In bad wind weather where itā€™s swinging about and oscillating quickly the stutters come back even when not in dense scenery area.

I managed to make it playable again. Silly me was testing various settings in an area where I had a high resolution mesh (Switzerland 10 or 20 mesh). Removing that helped immensely and still looks amazing so no great loss. That mesh alone was taking my RAM usage up from about 54% to 84%!!!

Problem now is in amongst photogrammetry areas. I am sure itā€™s CPU limit being hit -
Nothing to do with my GPU (actually itā€™s a eGPU RTX 2070 over thunderbolt) because if I switch on the CPU Turbo mode itā€™s a lot less bad and only hits me in those fast moving (change of direction) moments and if I am flying very low. Still super annoying. Had to turn Terrain LoD down to like 35 and Object LoD at 65 to get it mostly smooth 30fps but it still hitches quite often.

On the plus side WU8 has stopped the stupid loading graphic from being on screen for a good 2 mins on loading into a runway. Itā€™s probably just 30 seconds I need to wait now. Really weird software!! Wish I could find the perfect settings hahah

my problem could be solved following this hint:

Thanks, MichaMMA who made me aware of this.
