I was getting constant CTD on the world map with this driver and my 1gig internet connection. Rolled back to 545.92 all issues solved. I am running DX12 in 4K on a 4090.
I stopped using Nvidia drivers and Geforce experience about 6 months ago. I get a more stable performance using the ones Windows gives me. Do I really need Nvidia filters? Nah, not really.
I actually don’t think it has to do with this driver. There’s been several reports of ctd when on the world map. Seems more like it’s a game contra server issue. If you deactivate the weather layer in map options, you will probably be fine. I’ve got this problem with the earlier driver as well.
I think it’s best to keep an open mind on it still. It’s possible there are multiple triggers for the map zoom CTD issue as some strange non-linear interactions can cause issues sometimes based on different system configurations. I’ve observed this from my own UI work with MSFS, directly and also indirectly from other users reports.
For me, I’ve never had as a smooth gaming experience as this evening - so I still think its very random. I hope it gets sorted out. Yeah, open mind is something you always wanna have with FS2020. I recently learned that some kinds of stutters (not having to to with performance) was helped with syncing the time in Win with the time-servers (two to choose from) manually, since this is not always done. I can’t explain why this works - but it works. =P
Anyone got any stability reports for a 30 series card yet? Their release notes mentioned stability a few times (not specific to FS). Reluctant to try until I hear more.
My issue since two, three driver releases is also with the main menue: stuttery as hell, like I get only 1 FPS. What helps: bring up the Windows task bar by pressing the Windows key, then switch back to MSFS fullscreen. This cures it until the next time the main menue is loaded, e.g. after a flight. I guess its related to FG…
OT for this thread but.
Here’s a synopsis of Windows time server sync. You might need to go through the old windows control panel to get to time and date the old way then internet time then change time server. My time hadn’t been synced in 6 months before I reset it this way.
You can also set the time server to auto sync every time you log in to windows. You can also choose a time server other than a MS one.
The theory is that if not in sync then FS sends data back and forth syncing time in sim so wasting resources and possibly causing delays/stutters. Not sure we have scientific evidence though. -
A friend updated to the 546.17 driver yesterday, and on an MP flight with him last evening, he had a CTD. Tried the flight again and another CTD. Helped him revert to the 545.84 driver and he repeated the flight with no issues. I know that he has a 20 series graphics card.
Talking of map issues, has anyone seen a case of your selected aircraft in world planner view sitting centred on the globe but huge and merged into it. I’ve seen this a few times and had no idea if it was driver related or game bug or just me.
You generally see bits of the aircraft poking out of the globe like the nose cone poking out of the Atlantic say and the Tail poking out of the Pacific and the wings poking out somewhere in between but most of the aircraft covered in the globe.
It doesn’t stop you using the sim, but it is weird visually.
In win 11 (not sure about 10) press Windows key on keyboard, the type “time” and choose the time settings. There you will see a button that sais “sync time”. The time will be synced. If you have problem with the standard / default time server that is the windows time server, head over to the old control panel and get into time zone, and then check advanced settings (might need to type admin pw if your not admin), and there you can change to the “nis.gov” or something similar. Theres only two servers to choose from.
