VCRUNTIME140.dll Error

there are a lot of possible fixes described…

With your two posts we have no info about your special issue.
The only thing which we can say is, because you seemingly use “FlyByWire Mod” : try MSFS without installed mods.

I never really had any issues with the MSFS crashing until now… For the past few days, MSFS keeps crashing every time I try to start a flight without any error message right after I spawn in the aircraft. I’ve tried using all of the solutions from the older topics such as running the sim with and without mods, reinstalling VC redist, Reinstalling MSFS, and removing the rolling cache Any ideas about what’s going on and how to fix it? Attaching log from the Event Viewer.

If you look carefully, you’ll find that it isn’t an MSFS problem, but a problem with the MS Visual C++ Runtime environment.

was there any Update of MSFS Update in this time ?

There was before that the sim was running perfectly

we want to find out the “since”… was there a game update ( 1.11.6 ? ) or was there an Windows update in this time , graphics driver upd , … ? It is a computer, if there is not a defect in hardware, and nothing else was changed it should works deterministic.

Unfortunaly you changed with these RE-Installing of just everthing in your PC the former working reference impl…

Now we can only start with all basic questions about installed mod, kind of overcloacking /xmp ? driver versions ? c++ lib version ? etc…

In other thread we had the order of installation in focus,… also wether you made Windows-Restart in beetween all these driver reinstalls…

There have been several C++ runtime libraries updates downloaded and installed via Microsoft Store.

Hi, with the December 8 update I can report that I no longer suffer from the wretched VCRUNTIME140.dll anymore. Yay!!!
Now that I can fly I thought lets take the Airbus out of the hanger… then this…

My First Youtube

I am sorry for the quality, literally the very first video I ever made and then I was let down by the quality.

Anyone got any fixes?

I’ve been running ok for a few sessions, 30 + mins flying in the TBM around Grand Canyon

Now I’m back to CTD again, which is frustrating. I load up, get into aircraft, start the engines (sometimes as i am loading up the Garmin) then bang CTD. Run time 140.

Updated/repaired my C+++ libraries as well, still CTD.

I’ve been running on low settings for a while (as per ticket replies from on Zendesk), and adjusted a few up to medium as per the guides i am reading, perhaps that’s the issue?? Maybe my system isnt up to it?

can you try, just for a test, to disable Generic Models ?
( set Generic Models to ON , both settings )…

in another thread is mentioned, that the old issue might be still exists…

What do you mean by this?

You’re screwed basically - the CTD’s are in the “Backlog” - programmer for “yea never gonna get addressed”.

I’ve been unable to run this since day one - and I finally gave up today and requested a refund from the MS Store - will see how that goes.

I’ve tried everything including 2 separate reinstalls of windows 10, and nothing fixes the issues. I’ve provided dumps, logs and diags several times with no joy - the ticket gets closed and the game isn’t fixed.

No other piece of software / game has any issues on the box and I can run benchmarks / stress test software with no issue using all cores at 100%

I just reviewed your previous posts and unless I missed it, I have never seen you post your computer specs.
It is almost impossible for anyone on this forum to help you solve the problems without some very specific details.

  • CPU -
  • GPU -
  • Motherboard
  • Memory
  • video resolution

a a bare minimum.

It was all in the trouble tickets I logged with support - but for the record :

CPU : Intel 10600K
GPU : Zotac 1080
Motherboard : ASRock Z490 Taichi
Memory : 32GB ( 8 X 4 Gskill DDR400 F4-4000C18Q-32GTZR on MB QVL list)
Video Res : 1920 x 1080
Windows 10 20H2 19042.685
Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0
FS2020 : patched to latest and no mods at all installed.

No overclocks at all and the memory is running at the base non XMP profile @ 2666Mhz.

I can run OCCT for hours with zero hardware errors (Large Data set., Auto Threads, AVX2 ) and all drivers are patched to the latest releases. No other software including DCS and Cyberpunk has any issues at all. I’ve been through the self help threads and literally tried every single thing I’ve seen suggested, from removing and reinstalling the game and Xbox components, the VC++ runtimes, turning off AI traffic, adding Swap. I’ve literally a few hours a week sunk into this since release hoping to get it running.

I’m even getting crashes loading never mind actually trying to fly the thing - I’m yet to get an aircraft into the air.

Yep… every 30-60 minutes it crashes for me… tried everything. And like you said, I can play other games for hours with 0 issues.

the setting in graphics menu:

I have it Off , but try to set it to ON for a test.

Flying the A32NX after reaching cruise crashed into GSOD. Not sure where the Bug originated; Event Viewer said MSFS yet the Green Screen showed an AMD Driver problem.

See below for Event Viewer results. First time crashing this hard…
Hope this helps

cheers :slight_smile:

Dear, I don’t know if this will work for you, it worked with me.
3 days ago I started having this continuous error and I remembered that I had enabled AI Traffic in the General section of the menu.
If you have it enabled, turn it OFF, if not try to remember if you have recently enabled something in the simulator.
Hope this can help you.

So I got a fix finally…

I removed the 1080 card and added a 3080 to the same slot.

No software changes at all unless windows did it under the covers, since it’s the same geforce driver - now it works perfectly. I suspect there are some issues with older 1080 cards…
