Unplayable - Constant CTDs during flight for the past few months

[TheDuck8643]

MSFS CTD on initial loading for update, installation or launch, can't get into menu

The crash logs from software called AppCrashView label the error as an access violation. This could mean one of two things. Either it isn’t allowed to access a certain area of ram, or it isn’t allowed to access a certain simulator file. I only started receiving the error after modifying the file en-US.locPak and have since not been able to play even after reverting the file and checking that the software had permission to access it. The file is located in the Official package set under a folder …

After trying the solution above I can conclude that it still doesnt work. But, a lot of improvements have taken place. This time it took about 10 to 15 minutes for a CTD to appear with not only High-end global rendering settings, but also a good 60 fps count instead of 30. The sim seems to load faster too after a fresh and clean reinstall.

I did came across a few interesting results looking into my events.

Event 1005

Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program FlightSimulator.exe because of this error.

Program: FlightSimulator.exe
File:

The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action

1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
   • It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
   • It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

Additional Data
Error value: 00000000
Disk type: 0

With that event error, I tierd running a command prompt to scan the disc files, but it was unsuccessful as the disk is unaccessible. I could check if my hard drives are correctly fit into the computer later.

Although after performing a brand new reistall to the flight simulator while also removing old junk in my folder and the sim still crashes, I just dont know what to do anymore and will have to take a look at this issue later.
