Xbox/PC screens go black then CTD

Do you think they will keep releasing new updates for improvments for the beta testing to try and conquer the black screens and ctd?

I’m sure there are going to be builds in this long beta to address the problems as reported

Do black screen issues in flight or ctd get automatically reported to the devs?

SIM UPDATE 10 BETA

LIVE WEATHER USED

Good report

GMMX - EGCC

A320 NEO

3 HOURS AND 15 MINUTES

FMC used for flight plan

NOTES: very good flight overall sim was running smooth. Bit laggy over london and heavily packed areas but overall good flight

My first 1600 miles flight was good uuoo to hegn now I’m going hegn to oDXB Xbox series s

Ok hope it doesn’t take too long Xbox version screen and CTD be fixed I can’t load into Atlanta and others airports because of memory links

While there’s lot of CTDs and blank screens it has most likely nothing to do w. memory leaks. A memory leak usually is a slow filling up of a heap space or cache that gradually drops the performance till a halt. Most of my CTDs and blank displays happen quite spontaneously and random.

Hopefully menroy links Hot fixed will fix the Frames Los Angeles and Atlanta and others airports if they actually fixing it

CTD again after 2 hours of flying…I ā€œloveā€ this game…

Black screens followed by a CTD soon afterwards after 3.5 hrs of flight… Asobo 787.Fix this, plzzz. Can’t do long hauls with this plane, might as well take the 777 from Captain Sim… :flushed_face:

Use the sim update 10 beta it improves performance

I did. But it messed up my Dolby Vision/HDR image so bad that I reverted back to SU9.

I don’t think that using another plane changes much: I yesterday tried the first glider available on Xbox (the Discus from Got Friends) and upon spawning on an airfield: CTD :sleepy_face:

I think they’re using the term ā€œmemory leakā€ as a catch-all term for a bug. Despite news to the contrary I’m not convinced they have a good grasp on the root cause for Xbox. And that is why the fix has taken so long.

As you mention many are totally spontaneous, .most occurrences aren’t reproducible.. and there is a spurious link between black avionics and CTD.
I.e. can occur independent of each other but some CTD follow a black screen event.

I think they have lots of performance improving ideas and fixes for other issues and they are probably hoping those improvements/fixes address the issue…

I have had a couple of weeks of crash free flying. Across the USA and All around the Caribbean a lot of it at low level and probably 4-5000 odd miles. Interspersed with some UK time flying various types. Today at 1600BST I had 4 CTDs every single time after departing from South Caicos MBSC in level flight in a C208 Caravan. I have reduced all other AI to a minimum with only live traffic and have since cleared some hard drive space to no avail.

Is there any updates for screens going black and then CTD? I wish I could fly to Atlanta and others airports but the frames are called CTDs my guess I

I figured it out screens going black then CTD turn off photography and bring data world graphics

3,000nm into the flight and the screens all go dark. I paused the game, came back into it and VFR map and radio window are gone. Click the left stick, and i am not given any options anymore. No map. No radio. No instruments. Wasted 7 hours on this flight. Not the first time its happened.

3 hours flight screens went out and then CTD


Finally a 10 hours long flight without black screens or crash. I think we are on the right track for the future update.
