Flying on SU4 since the beginning. I had a lot of Sim freeze (no CTD) and even computer freeze using last nvidia drivers. I fought the freeze through add-ons, which led nowhere.
I rolled down the Nvidia drivers to 572.16 and no more freeze for 100+ h of flights, even multi-leg flights everything working very well. To test this hypothesis, I reupdated the drivers to last drivers, and … first flight, freeze after 20 minutes.
Anyone from the Asobo team is aware of this issue and can explain simply its cause regarding Nvidia drivers ?
I was informed of a Nvidia driver update yesterday, but I doubt you mean those as you did 100+ hours already? What was the version that caused you problems?
I did not see any issues with the latest drivers btw and sim freezes sound more like WASM crashes than driver problems.
But I got the freeze when not using drivers < 577.0. Like every flight. This freezes completely disappears if I install these drivers. Therefore, there is a conflict somewhere in the way the GPU is used through MSFS 2024 with these drivers, especially with the new CPU/GPU threading model used.
Could affect only RTX 5090 I don’t know. But rolling down to these drivers fixed the freezing issue. Which in conterpart don’t allow me to play games like Battlefield 6 (that requires newer driver version).
I can also say that I have had no freeze issues on any released or beta version of MSFS2024. I always keep on the current live version of the nvidia driver.
Are there any diags that you can run on your 5090 to see if you have overheating or memory issues?
You may need to do a DDU of your driver and do a fresh install of the 581.57 driver if you’re running into performance problems. It’s likely a caching error that happens when new drivers don’t fully overwrite exsisting cache files.
