No. They’ve updated it a few times since su5

I tried the C172 for the first time since the upgrade virtually fubaard flying airliners. And only got as far as taxing to the runway before the customery CTD.
I’ll try this after work, haven’t been able to fly since the initial SU5 update.
Constant CTD’s 
Also is there any truth to the “Nvidia users -400 mhz” fix?
Happy flying
EDIT: the below issue was finally solved by uninstalling from Steam, and reinstalling.
I kept the packages folders as they were, other than deleting fs-base, and the FS folders in Local and Roaming, so a full redownload wasn’t necessary
It looks like something broke / got corrupted in the actual steam installation directory
NEVER had any CTD before this latest hotfix.
I have a good rig and excellent performance with the sim prior to hotfix.
It crashes at a black screen, before the menu / credits begin to load
Steam version
I have tried absolutely everything
Community folder deleted
MSI Afterburner & Process Lasso uninstalled
Sound disabled
Reinstalled US voice pack
Sfc /scannow
Nvidia drivers rolled back to a stable version
Appdata folders deleted
Nvidia profile reset / tried at 30fps
Redistributables reinstalled
Tried without G-Hub and Discord (seriously, guys?)
Still getting this

What about aside from FBW ?
After 1.18.14.0 mine is much more stable have not yet had a CTD other than trying to load FBW (CTD 3/4 way during loading screen every tiem).
Me also, just won’t lsunch. 6 dsys now…
Completed a flight this morning followed by 8 CTD’s throughout the day.
Checked xbox live. Everything seems to be working.
Went to settings>Gaming>Xbox networking. Looking at Xbox live Multiplayer clicked Fix it button.
FS 2020 loaded twice with no CTD.
Ever since recent update I have not been able to use sim
Whether I select a training flight >> FLY or
World Map >> set up flight >> FLY . . .
no joy.
My windows has been updated with most recent updates
All my render settings are on low.
Does anyone have some suggestions? or has same problem? Thanks
CTD with no mods. no marketplace. empty community… CTD even at menu after 5 mins

Why there isn’t a verification of fspackages option is beyond me. It’s like Windows, it just assumes it’s going to work, and if it doesn’t, well hard cheese, reinstall. If you live in rural England reinstalling takes a couple of days.

You know that if you have lots of CPU cores (MY i9 10900K has 10 with 20 threads) and you turn off core 0 and 1, you’re doing FS a big favour. These cores are now available for Windows and other applications - I still have 8 cores for gaming. Also, I do not overclock my CPU, RAM or Graphics card. It’s well known that FS doesn’t play well with overclocking.
Now, there’s a CTD fix thread here by @AmbitousPilots who tells you how to do this (and other things like changing FS priority to low - yes, low!). It has worked a treat for me and stopped stutters completely. Before this 1.18.13. 0 update and hot fix 1.18.14.0 I was using a batch file to launch FS with core 0 and 1 turned off. It no longer works so I simply use the task manager after starting FS to turn off these cores and set FS priority to low. Why set it to low? The answer is in the thread I mention above. Basically, it gives Windows the oxygen that FS starves it from when FS priority is set to high. It’s logical. Also, set your Nvidia FS program settings to “prefer maximum performance”. That gives your graphics card the voltage needed to do hard work. Finally, set your Windows power options to “ultimate”. Some Windows versions (I believe Home version is one of them) don’t have “ultimate” - the thread I mentioned above tells you how to make that happen using a command prompt. My Windows pro version does have “ultimate” so I didn’t need to use the cmd prompt.
Have a look at that thread and give it a shot. You’ve nothing to lose because it can all be easily reversed. There are no registry hacks to worry about either. I’ll need to find that thread to link it here. I’ll come back and edit this to make it easier for you all to find. Here’s that thread:

Same here. Only on the Airbus. Solved it by changing my power profile to ‘balanced’.
I’ve had 2 today. Both test flights departing and arriving back at the Skydive Dubai airport which is part of the ORBX Dubai add on. Departing and generally flying around the Dubai area is great but on landing back at that skydive place, both times CTD. First test was the Robin (Horrible default aircraft) and the second was the Cessna Caravan.
Hard to determine if its the airport element of the scenery causing an issue. Going to try similar tests later on but at normal airports.
I can’t even play the game properly as I will crash in the main menu’s (Doesn’t matter where, just random menu or main UI) within a few minutes. No warning.
I basically paid a premium price not a few days ago (Including a TrackIR) so basically 300 bucks for something I can’t even use properly.
Dafuq.

Where the hell can we even send in crash dumps or does the client does this automatically?

Before SU5 never CTD once. But after the update and hotfix facing CTD on every flight while flying. Community folder emptied.

Hope Asobo and MS can fix the issue soon. Broke the game big time.

For days after last update I could not start the sim, it would almost finish booting up then computer reboot crash.
I carried out 2 repair attempts 2 resets , one of which was successful for one flight and 2 reinstalls all to no avail.
I have an Nvidia 2070 super GC and out of sheer frustration I went into Geforce Experience and set the game to optimal which meant lower settings than my normal medium setting. I started the sim and amazingly it started without a whimper I will increase settings one at a time because I am not impressed by the low settings at all.
This is exactly my experience. It crashes when loading. I was able to get in and it would crash at main menu if I didn’t fly quickly otherwise it worked but then it just wouldn’t start anymore. Asobo’s QA process apparently is done on a single pristine newly installed environment every time, this is sad, I have never had so many problems over such an extended time with something. Asobo’s name is mud.
