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. Im not the first one and probably will not be the last, but I am going crazy with the g3d.dll ctd. I have been flying with no issues since I built up the new pc (see specs in my signature below) but now I have come to a point where I get a ctd on almost every flight. The ctd seem not to be OOM related, and occur mainly flying in Europe (I have UTX EU + several Aerosoft airports), and only during approach, getting closer to an addon airport. It almost never happens while flying in US (despite I also there have UTX USA + many addon airport installed), which makes me think it might be some sort of conflict between UTX EU and addon airports. It is not aircraft related as it h…

    Hi there guysKinda stumped really. Im running fsx on my new rig, and it runs great when Im actually using the sim, but Im sure Im not alone on this one, sometimes you need to alt tab out of the program to check whatever. I do that quite alot. The problem that I have been having is that, sometimes when I go to go back to the game, sometimes it works, and sometimes it works 50%. So for instance, Ill alt tab out, then ill take my mouse and click on the program 3-5 times on the task bar for it to be called back up, sometimes, it will come back up, but the screen stays black but yet you can hear the sounds if you press p and you can move the mouse over stuff and see the gauges…

    Ok, I have had issues the past few days with my FSX freezing! I have done everything except re-install Windows (including using REVO to uninstall FSX and any add-ons). He is my computer specs:Velocity Micro Edge Z40Intel i7-2600K 3.40GHz8GB RamnVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti GPUWindows 7 64bitI want to assume that it has something to do with Radar Contact, but the freezes are extremely random, and will even occur if I do not have RC running.

Only thing different that I have done in the past few days from previous flights is that I am now flying in Eur…

    Hello!I've got a rather big issue with FSX. Just a couple of days ago my FSX started getting fatal errors after less then an hour of flying.

    For the last week or so I have been flying around in the PMDG J41 doing reasonably long flights (1.5-3) hours. I land roll off the runway and begin my taxi back to the gate. I exit RC4 through the on screen pop up in fsx and all is ok. About 10-15 seconds later "FSX has stopped working" the message does not state the specific nature of the problem so I am not sure where to look for help. I have not tried with other aircraft but have completed a successful flight with the PMDG bae two days ago. Whether I fly in an ORBX area or not the error still happens. I have not tried a flight without exiting RC4 after landing but I am trying now and will post back my results. Anybody …

    So this all began a few weeks ago when flight sim crashed. Don’t remember all the details but I was experiencing the black vertical lines issue and then it crashed and said the Nvidia driver crashed. I went ahead and installed the newest Nvidia driver for my card. I also decided to do a full reinstall of FSX as one of the other main problems I had been experiencing I wanted to hopefully resolve. That issue was upon starting the 2nd engine the sound would be very loud, almost as if I had switched to an outside view. It was just a loud roar. I used to just press Q and turn the sound off for a second and then turn it back on and the sound returned to normal. That was no lon…

  10. I just purchased and installed in FSX, the FlyTampa-Athens scenery. Something very strange is happening with this software. I will try to explain the best I can. When I take off from LGAV in the default MS "Boeing 737-800" and immediately after I leave the ground and even if I am quite far from LGAV, or if I have even landed in a near by other airport (like LGTT or LGAT or LGKN) and I want to end the flight by pressing Esc, the flight gets interrupted normally, after I click on End Flight, but strangely immediately afterwards, this same FSX "End Flight" dialog box, appears again for a second time, inside the main FSX interface, asking once more if I want to End Flight, or…

  20. Hi guys I am about to give up on FSX after weeks of trying to get it to run correctly. I recently built a new Pc just for fsx i7 2600kGTX58016gig ramnot OCed or anything. + latest drivers My problem is that only with the J41 and 737 NGX when I go to "end Flight" in FSPAX menu I get a CTD (d3d9.dll) and the flight is not recorded. Any default aircraft works fine. It does not crash during flight, just 100% of the time when I end flight. I have read about problems running both FSPAX and PMDG but I have also heard about it running succesfully. I love FS pax for only 3 reasons. 1. I have all custom sounds and crew messages etc. 2. Shows landing FPM. and 3. I can build a compan…

  21. Hi guys,This issue has been pissing me off quite a bit. Now when I am on approach or even final approach, the gauges on my wilco 777 freezes. The exterior of the plane also turns black. The only way to bring it back to life is by press the escape button and return to the flight. But after a while, the thing freezes again and the cycle continues. If I dont do any of this fsx would crash to desktop saying that it has ran out of memory. Now Ive lost a 5 hour flight to my VA and crashed my VA;s plane all thanks to the last minute freezing of gauges when about to land.Now this issue has never happen when Im cruising, it only happens when I'm on approach or descending.

    I experienced my first CTD the other day. The details of the error message said that the program that faulted was atc.dll . Is this the atc for the AI traffic in FSX? I was not actively talking to FSX's ATC at the time. I was flying enroute, but there were numerous AI aircraft around me (depicted by their contrails). Since the crash, I have reduced the amount of AI traffic. This may solve the problem. I just want to know what atc.dll does and why it may of crashed. I have a pretty high performance computer -980x with a good card and a decent amount of memory. I have never experienced any problems before and I run Air hauler, ASE, and AI smooth at the same time.

    Okay so yesterday I put up a thread asking about smoother edges on aircraft and I was told about the nvidiainspector thread over at the PMDG forums. So I checked it out and hey, it worked. I used the top settings which i think was 8xSQ because he stated that if you have a modern card then it should be able to handle it. Well I have an nvidia 580gtx and I've noticed that even though I have smooth edges now, whenever i pan around my aircraft or cockpit, and even in the image below, i will get these split second black images come up on my screen where it seems to be loading the texture. this didn't happen before I did this inspector tool, so do you think I should go to the s…
