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.

    okay so this hasn't been happening for me ever before now, the last two flights i've tried doing, both into KLAS, I've gotten a CTD. One time it happened when I had landed and was holding at bravo, the second time it happened was when I was turning onto the loc and my screen just froze. Sometimes I wonder if its because I have a habit or switching views all the time, for example I will continually look in and out of my cockpit so maybe this has a stress on my system but other than that i don't know. I checked my event viewer and this is what it told me. fsx.exe 10.0.61472.0 475e17d3 …

    Hey guys,Is there a known fix for crashes related to ntdll.dll? I want to play flight simulator, but the thought of doing all the work to create a flight plan, do the preflight & FMC, set up all the appropriate programs (FS2Crew, Radar Contact, Active Sky, etc) only to have a CTD because of ntdll.dll during pushback or taxi kills any urge I had to play the game. This morning, after wasting an hour on all the appropriate preflight-to-taxi steps and procedures I had my third CTD caused by ntdll.dll out of the four flights I've attempted in recent months.It's tiresome.I took a glance at google and the rest of the avsim forums, but didn't really find anything concrete abo…

    Hello everyone,I have gotten two CTD's while using the PMDG NGX that pointed to the module in the topic. I thought I'd ping the forum and see if anyone else has had this issue. I was sitting at the gate programming the FMC when it ocurred. I had just started FSPassengerX and was plugging in my TOW when the crash happened. I've been fortunate to not have CTD's, but now I've had two in the last week, so I thought I'd start looking into it.Thanks,Don

  5. I'll ask this as more of a generic question. The problem is, very recently, that I get a CTD (white screen lockup) during loading FSX anytime my aircraft is in the Seattle - Portland area. The progress bar slows then stops around 50% loaded and never gets beyond that. I can load the startup screen and choose any alternate area and fly completely normally. I'm guessing it is a damaged or missing .BGL file or whatever file is being loaded at the 50% point on the progress bar. I have deleted fsx.cfg and let it rebuild that. I have changed aircraft to default with no luck. FSX loads and runs completly normally anywhere else on the globe with any aircraft I choose. Sin…

    Hi,I have been reading a lot on this external fps limiter online and it had very good reviews. btw, i am not sure if this is the correct place i should be putting this. feel free to move it :) now on to the point. I cant seem to find any working links on the external fps limiter. And some people commented that it does not work in vista. Is this true? I have a 32-bit vista system. Thanks :)

    Hi, This has been happening for awhile now but just discovered this board. About 90% of the time if after flying awhile and I change just the time I get FSX to shut down. I can change the season, airport, A/C with no problem. Any ideas what could cause this? Like I said it's happened for a while now, ( I don't know what add-on would cause it). I just learned not to do it.Thanks!

    Hey all,I'm having a new problem with FSX. It used to be that every once in a while a flight would fail to load in FSX with a d3d9.dll error (e.g. once the flight finished loading, when it would normally drop me into the aircraft, it crashed). In the last couple of days that has become almost every single time and almost every single airport. Removing enbseries completely solves the problem, so it's clearly related to that somehow, but if at all possible I'd like to find a fix that allows me to keep using it (I've gotten spoiled by it!).It would be strange enough to begin with--the only things that have changed on my computer in the past few days are windows updates (prob…

    Hi all,I have had CTDs occassionally like most have over the years. Episodically they would worsen and I'd always figure out something like reinstall FSX which would work for a while. For a long time I loaded and opened FSX twice in a row to the starting airport which made all the difference, but lately that failed. I recently traded in my old 8800 GTS for a 560GTS and put FSX on a dedicated SSD.....still have the crashes. They happen after some time, an hour or so...therefore they generally happen only on LD flights....which I love so this is torturing me. The crash is sudden, no warning, and dosen't seem related to game stress such as heavy weather or frame rate issues.…

    Please help. A lot of my games freeze for a second, then minimize and will not open back up, so basically most of my games are having CTD problems. It happens most frequently in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but also happens a lot in battlefield 3 and once or twice in Shogun 2 and Batman: Arkam city. My graphics drivers are updated and no programs are running in the background. Please help.

    Hi, recently I have been getting CTD's because of an error in the ft733.dll file.

    So I have been using FSX for only 2 months. Never had any problems with freezing or whatnot. But then again I really didn't even know how to fly either. I would usually just hop in a plane or heli and fly around. A buddy of mine is a pilot and taught me a few things about autopilot and whatnot and I'm hooked. So hooked that my wife purchased me the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke and Throttle, an extra Pro Flight Throttle, and the Saitek Multi Panel. When I recieved the items I was having some difficulty with getting everything to work properly with the Saitek drivers. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get things to work that I decided to start out fresh. So I reformated my PC …

    Hi everybody.I've been using FSX for a good couple of years now, starting on Windows XP SP2 and, more recently, upgrading to Windows 7. The only add-ons I've got for it is a FeelThere Wilco Airbus Evolution package, and FS2Crew to interface with the package. I also have FSUIPC and FSInn for VATSIM flights. My problem is that, practically every session at some point, one of four things happens:1 - all system-generated text disappears, replaced by vertical bars similar to a barcode.2 - as above, but replaced with nothing. All that's left are the small underscores under words that would signify hotkeys.3 - vertical lines and rectangles appear in 3D space all around me, o…

    I am getting CTD when I change my location in FSX. Not every time, but usually after I have been flying somewhere else in the world. It doesn't happen when I start from the 'Create Flight screen'. It did before with Thomas Kwong's HK VHHH scenery but I have deleted that and Hong Kong works now.Yes I have a number of PAYWARE sceneries installed, Level D (also Payware) 767 and CLS A330-340.My computer is a Core2Duo with 2GB RAM and a GTX550Ti (new) card. It was doing this before I installed the card.I really have no idea where to start, so any help, tips or ideas is appreciated. Is there a post somewhere that has a fault finding procedure for FSX CTDs?ThanksDaniel

    I get a CTD when using the GPS (both default GPS and just flight's freebie). This happens about two thirds of the time when trying to enter the ICAO code into the GPS. I've seen the problem mentioned in various places on the internet, but no one seems to have a clue about it. The problem seems to be associated with the facilities.dll file. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it's an annoying little problem.

    Hi guys,out of the blue my FSX stoped working. I just installed 3 sceneries (But they weren´t activated till now) and one plane. The eventmanager tells me that visualfx.dll is the culprit here. I never had a problem like this. Does someone have an idea how to fix this?

    Not had these before.The blue screen said something regarding a second processor or something?Anyway i was 30 minutes in to my flight from KSEA to YBCS and the 1st hit. Sceen froze for 5 seconds whilst the sound made that horrible noise, then the BSOD kicked in.Now, i changed my Affinity mask from 14 to 20 after reading some forum, could this be the issue? (i ask this due to the BSOD mentioning a second processor.)I have since changed my Affinitymask back to 14, and restarted the flight from my rough position, and thus far all is ok.Thoughts?
