Warning: Your graphics device has encountered a problem

Show me the line in the cfg where this exists and I shall add it.

The file property itself. If you didn’t tick the read only box then that isn’t the problem.

I haven’t touched the setting and have no clue what it does or what default behaviour is but if it’s not normal could you possibly be using an old graphics driver or something?

Oh now I get you … there are other Cfg files for the sim, if not in UserCfg maybe one of the others

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Are you using DX12?

No

Are you using DLSS?

Yes

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

It’s not necessary to do any complicated adjustments. To cure this, just switch to DX12. DX12 runs smoothly now and you don’t get this graphics card memory issue!

I got this error message a handful of times now… this is not an advertisement, BUT, I did download Razer Cortex , and have only had one error message since; I used both Game Boost, and the Windows optimization settings options. Thought I’d share. To find Razer Cortex, simply search online, should find easily, didn’t want to link it in this official forum.

MODERATOR EDIT:
This post merged into this topic.

Since the last update of the Nvidia graphics card, produced on October 14, 2022, said update is causing problems in flight simulator since I get an error message of overheating of the card or problems with Msfs 2020

The drivers are Nvida’s 522.25 for a Geforce GTX 1660 Super
And I have a 10 generation I/ as well as a one tera SSD hard drive exclusively for Msfs 2020

I have Windows 11 version 22H2

Try this

I’d even suggest in global settings if you get this message at launch or if other apps are affected

I do not agree that this issue is SOLVED.

I must admit that I’m a very happy simmer, because in the last two years I never had a CTD that I could not relate to something stupid done by myself.

But after having installed Nvidia driver 522.25 I can’t fly anymore. MSFS will start up and I can setup my flight. But when loading the flight, at almost the end of loading I get this annoying message and need to shut down through Task Manager.

When in Task Manager I observed that the ā€˜Desktop Windows Manager’ (WDM) system task was almost all the time at 100% GPU load.

After reverting to Nvidia driver 517.48 the WDM task is at a regular 0..3% GPU load.

With that driver I can fly without that issue.

Just out of curiosity I reinstalled the driver 522.25 again

Iimmediately the GPU load was back to 100% for the WDM task. This is with a idle computer, MSFS not running.

A reboot does not get rid of that high load. And I can not fly, same message half through loading the flight.

I recommend anybody experiencing the issue to check their WDM task GPU load in Task Manager, and report here.

It has not served for anything it stops again and the same error message appears

And no gpu overclocks?

Something not right there. Try SFC /Scannow in an elevated CMD and if that finds nothing SFC /Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Messing with settings just now, attempted to save the experimental Package Reordering System as ON and got ā€œthe messageā€.

If you’re in the beta it might not be compatible but I really can’t see why that should affect graphics … Is it repeatable?

but a warn: we have lots of reports in forum, where exactly that cause crashs

well.. then driver issue or you did a specific setting. What can MSFS application do here, if it is not running ? :rofl:

Resinstall drivers with the ā€œresetā€ option , and see whats happens. Otherwise check nvidia forum and report may be the issue.

PS: 45° and full load, does not realy match

no overclocking

I have twice updating drivers with clean installation

OK that’s good.
And no energy saving in your power settings? I read something about Nvidia supplying a wrong voltage although I cannot confirm it.

in the power settings I have this :

Absolutely without fail sofar, with and without add ons, add on linker, and with the latest fresh reboot just trying to turn it on … keep in mind, the pop up is poorly worded and in my experience catch all for any error or system *hiccup not necessarily related to graphics (not even instability, far too strong a word) …

…I fix :wink:
