Crash To Desktop (CTD) Forum

CTD's are a simmer's nightmare. This subforum is established to specifically discuss CTD's. Please do not place CTD messages in the main FSX, FS9, or P3D forums. If you do, they will most likely be moved to this forum.

  1. New rig I7 3770K, 8GB RAM, NVidia GTX 680 2GB, HDD 10'000RPM, Windows 7 64 and... loads of CTD!!! Not been able to complete ONE flight in three days after going through a three-day detailed setup making sure that I would have my cfg file evaluated by Bojote on line, all recommended settings from PMDG (I bought the 737 NGX), but - very frankly - I already regret my FS9! First my PFC USB hardware yoke and pedals get "disconnected" every now and then during taxi, that never happened to me before, making this phase utterly unpleasant (apparenrtly nothing PFC can do about), then each time I go to the FSX menu for an additional tuning, I cannot get back to FS anymore, black…

  2. I've looked through most of the archives on this subject and couldn't find my specific issue. After a successful flight I'm back at the Free Flight screen. I click on Flight Planner to load another saved flight. It loads it then I click on Fly Now button, the Terrain Loading box comes up, reaches a random percentage each time and stops. After waiting for approximately 5 minutes I bring up Windows Task Manager to see what is going on. It shows Flight Simulator running. I close Task Manager and wait another 5 minutes then bring up Task Manager again and it still shows as running. At this point I give up and end the Flight Simulator X task. This happens every time I try …

    Hi, I'm slowly moving from FS2004 to FSX and finally caught this error with PMDG NGX. I remember that it was extensive discussion about this module, but I cannot recall if there some agreement about... 1) what version of the module to use 2) where this module should be placed. The link to the most reliable version of the module would be much appreciated. Thanks Dmitriy

    Hello out there, Hopefully I'm in the right place, and that some kind person can help. Its a bit weird. My problem is this - whenever I try to fly towards or even get near airspace in Denmark I get an Immediate CDT. It doesn't seem to matter which part of Denmark or which airport I head for the result is the same.I've tried looking in the Recycle Bin to see if I may have accidentally deleted something but to be honest I'm not that technical, so not sure what to even look for. Has anyone got any suggestions? Can anyone help, I hope so. Thanks in advance Ian Zetland Warwick ( High End games PC - System: Windows 7 (x86) FSX all patches & Accel…

  7. Hey guys, I'm new here and I think this might be the right area to post this, if not may a moderator please move it to the right area, sorry! but I have been playing FSX for about 5 years now. A few weeks ago, I decided to start playing FSX again and it would freeze up and crash, nothing fixed these crashes so I uninstalled the game, completely removing everything to do with FSX from my computer. I installed it again and now I can't even start the game! As soon as I try and run FSX it starts up, doesn't even load to the menu before it crashes due to a "Fatal error". This is really frusterating me because it is one of my favourite games and I've done literally everythi…

  8. Recently I've been having problems with random CTDs caused by module 'Unknown' after a long period of no problems but I think I might have found a way around the CTDs.

    Recently, I have been having oom errors while flying. I use the ngx, along with REX, and also fsdreamteam KFLL. However, the oom's can happen at any airport. The symptoms begin towards the end of my flights, when I begin my approaches, or begin my final descents. If I switch views, the textures of the vc begin to take a long time to load, and then, I receive an oom error. Sometimes I am able to touchdown, but I end up getting the error while taxiing. Also, I have tried using process explorer, and it appears that my virtual memory begins at about 1.7-1.8 gb, and it begins to slowly increase the longer I am inside fs. Could this be a memory leak, or is this normal? If so, h…

    Yesterday I made a mistake and shutdown my computer with svchost.exe not in it's correct folder. When I tried to reboot I could not get windows to load so I had to resort to a system restore. After my system restore everything seems to work great other than the fact that I can't use FSX, all I get when trying to use is the FSX splash screen for about a minute then nothing the splash screen goes away and fsx never loads. I want it to be a last resort to have to uninstall an re-install FSX because I have a ton of addons and It will take ages to get FSX back where I want it. Thanks in advance for all who can help.
