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. Hello guys, days ago I overclocked my GPU and when I tried to did a flight, this error appears. After that, I reset the MSI Afterburner´s settings to default, but the error continue appearing.. Any solution? Regards,

    Why? Why? Why? Only on certain airports, some are sceneries add ons (KLAX), some are default sceneries (PHNL, KMHT, maybe more) during takeoffs or landing P3D crashes to the desktop without displaying any message. Loosing my mind here Thank you for trying to help

    Hi all... I'm getting this error in a random basis and I'm failing to understand what might be the origin ad I don't that that many add on software. Currently, my p3d 4.4 contains orbx global, vector and Europe and NA LC, envdir (envshade and envtexture), active sky, ASCA (dynamic theme), fsuipc 5 and the aerosoft Airbuses. From what I read so far, the ctd due to api.dll is due to a bad or not up to date add-ons but, seems to me that the ones I have are very common and are updated. I don't have the graphics sliders all too the maxed out and indeed in failing to understand what's going on. My system is an i7 8700k, HTC 1080ti, 16 GB ram and a…

    Morning Everyone I am looking to get a new system as I don't think mine can cope with QW787 that I purchased recently. My FPS before QW787 weren't great so I think this tipped it over the edge. This was my first 787 flight, 7 hours in CTD just after starting descent, how annoying. Anyway, I'm interested to know what caused it, any thoughts would be appreciated.

  7. Hi, In the last few days, after using Nvidia Shadowplay (even for a few seconds) to record a video of FSX SE, if then I press Alt+Enter (to go from full screen to a window of FSX, a back to full screen...) a few times (usually 3 times), FSX starts going into a window, but it is all black, the sounds cuts for less than a second, then after ~20 seconds FSX SE crashes. I have Windows 7, and FSX SE is in a dedicated drive D: (so not C:). This never happened until the last few days: I could use shadowplay, and switch from full screen to a window and back, many many times without problems. I do this to go to the PC and use other applications, change music, answer…

  8. Hi, I feel like I've tried everything. Updated video drivers etc. This just started a few days ago. I didn't install anything new but I did go to surround on the monitors around them. The sim has never ran smoother. Two GTX 980's, three monitors working on surround. Monitored GPU's and everything seems ok. Not overclocking. It crashes near the same spot every time from KDEN to KHOU a bit after TOD. I deleted shaders. Deleted KIAH flighbeam in case that was causing it. Here is the appcrash log.

  9. Hi, Just a quick note to thank AVSIM and all those involved in this super piece of work. I've been using Flight sims. since 'Dragon32' 'Commodore64' and SubLogic days! Sometimes more than others but I've never been without a Sim of some kind throughout the years. I must have been lucky because albeit I've had my share of problems along with the fun of the Sims; until last week I've never (knowlingly) had a problem of Crashing to the Desktop! Now I've given up Real World flying, I recently bit the bullet and bought a hi-end computer and began setting up a few of my favourit programs, including FS2004 (Yes!

    I'll add to this topic. Since around 2/17/19 my P3D ALWAYS crashes. The scenario that ALWAYS yields a CTD or PC freeze: PMG777-200.

On take off, I start the clock. From here one of two things happen. CTD within 3-8 minutes or the flight continues and before dropping to FL270 on the PHLBO3 STAR, CTD. So Far, I've rolled back windows updates, checked/updated all drivers (including rolling back to 418.91 "clean" install), removed the over clock, checked devices in device ma…

  19. I've been using P3Dv4.4 for over a year now with out a problem. All my add ons are working and the graphics are great. Today, I wanted to check a box in the P3D startup page in the Options panel. I opened P3D, let things settle down, and clicked the Options button. It immediately went to solid white botton, and in 10 to 15 seconds it just shut down. No crash to desktop or anything like that. I've done this several more times today with the same results. Otherwise, as long as you stay away from the Options button, you can fly a flight like normal. I'm a little reluctant to do that though until I figure out what is going on. Any advice will be appreciated. Mik…

    Hi Guys, I have a really annoying problem that seems to be occurring randomly in my sim. Sometimes, when I take off from EHAM, my textures stop loading after a minute or so. Everything starts out fine, but then, after a minute, the autogen that is loading close to my aircraft becomes black. The shadows on my aircraft also stop loading and the terrain gradually becomes more blurry. Whenever I pause the sim to give it time to catch up, nothing happens, no extra textures/terrain/autogen are being loaded. When I hit the hotkey to pause the sim and refresh the scenery, the bar starts loading at a very regular pace (about 1 percent per second; this never happens, when…
