Pre-1.8.3.0 patch my MSFS2020 was working like dream. Now I am finding that my game crashes after getting into a flight and crusing anywhere between 30-60 minutes. I never had the issue prior to this patch but it seems to have plagued my system since this patch was released.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstall MS Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) and (x86) twice as well as preparing this.
I have enabled virtual memory and set this to system managed as suggested by someone in another forum.
I have also updated from OS 1909 to 2004 in a bid to help fix this issue, although many users on 2004 are reporting issues with their MSFS2020.
Has anyone else ran into this issue and if so have they found a work around for this? Do we just have to wait till an update is released to fix this issue? Thanks for your assistance in advance.

I may have just fixed this issue so far. I am testing at the moment still.
It was suggested on discord to go to Options > General > Sound and change the Text-to-Speech-Settings from Azure to Windows Offline.
So far I have been in a 1.5 hours flight without any CTD. I will keep you posted as this is a 4-hour flight if all goes well hopefully this can be a temporary fix.
I found a similar issue with PMDG:

*I got the solution , just go to this link and download the .dll * https://es.dll-files.com/vcruntime140.dll.html if the file who is missing name is vcruntime140_1.dll, just search it on the same web page , download the latest version( the first option you see while scrolling down) corresponding to your win version 64 or 32 bits , once the download is complete unzip it wherever you want just open C:\Windows\System32 and paste and replace the file it could be either VCRUNTIME140.DLL or vcruntime140_1.dll . then try open OPS Center again . Good luck…

Yeah, I have reviewed that. In fact, I uninstalled every single one of these, restarted my PC and reinstalled them before making this post, twice.
It’s basically unenjoyable at this state right lol :\ So frustrated, I never had these problems with FSX or even X-Plane 11 so I am quite sure something else is going on with the game…
Yeah it’s on 2004. This crash is no longer occuring in my last 3 flights. All crashes now seem to be when I try open the VFR map which seems to be widely now reported by many users.
I think this was certainly an issues due to the 1.8.3.0 patch but fixed itself once 1.9 was released (I hope).
I guess it just comes back to the fact the game is a bit glitchy and they are still yet to get rid of bugs. The crashes that occur when the VFR map is opened do not produce the VCRUNTIME error I had here so I think that proves enough for now.
IME this error seems to happen when changing views, like from external to cockpit or when switching from “normal” to rear view outside. I’ve also had it happen in a fairly sharp turn, and simply moving straight in fog and thunder between Courchevel and the next airstrip. Seems to be related to fast graphical changes mostly, but that last one simply points to heavy GPU usage after all. I’ve already downclocked my GPU, so these crashes shouldn’t be caused by the GPU as such.
