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. I also have this problem: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG But for me, it's when I launch a scenery such as T2G Paris CDG, LTBA, Flytampa Amsterdam. And it depends of the kind of airplane I fly with (QW 787,PMDG 777 or Carenado 390...) But the strangest thing is that sometimes, (rarely) it works fine and I can fly during 3 hours. I thought my problem comes from my graphic card but i've a GTX 1050 with the latest graphic driver. So did anyone has one solution for me ? That's make 1 month I didn't made any long haul flight :'(

    For the first time in flight simulating for 7 years, I have twice received an "Out of Memory" in FSX upon final approach or landing with either a PMDG 737 or 777 at FSDT add airports and on short flights that are either 2 or 3 hours. I have been using these aircraft for several years without OOM occurring and I am puzzled why it started now. Never had OOM with PMDG aircraft, even on 12 hours flights! I have been using Windows 7 with 64 bit operating system. Is there any possibilities why this started now? I am at a loss. I have not changed anything on my computer. It seems to have started when I updated FSDT GSX with their updates they send. Cfoley

  5. Howdy, I am wondering if someone can help me out. I have an issue with FSX Steam Edition. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and when I try to fire fsx up it gives me a message the is as follows " The requested flight file is corrupt or can't be found. Flight Simulator will now try to load the Default flight." and then FSX closes with, no crash report or anything. It just quits. I don't know how to fix this issue. I have uninstalled fsx and reinstalled as before mentioned, and, even went so far as to delete all the fsx files before uninstalling it. My though process was " If I delete all the files and then reinstall fsx it should fix it." Well as you can imagine tha…

  6. Hi All, I want to start this by saying I am genuienly sorry if this wastes anyones time and I am simply being an word not allowed however this sim has drained me at this point and I'm am done looking for what will fix this. So here is the story. Today I decided to make the upgrade from 4.2 to 4.4 using only the client update as I thought it may finally be time. After putting on tomatoshade and all the good new stuff I had access too in 4.4 I decided to start updating my utilities, namely ASP4. I decided I was going to go back to Rex + ASP4 so I uninstalled ASCA and went in to see if ASP4 was working ok. I tried YSSY from FlyTampa (note other airports before th…

    Hello, after replacing the AIO liquid cooler in the PC store my system started to reboot randomly without warning (Kernel 41 error) midflight in P3D v4 and sometimes during 3d Mark benchmarks. I have sent the PC back, the store tested it for 24 hours with AIDA 64 and there were no crashes, overheating, etc. They also run my 3D Mark software with no problems. They have also measured the PSU consumption at max load and advised that there was around 300-250 W headroom. After reinstalling the PC home the problem started to reoccur. Things already tried: 1) Replaced pilot, power cable, tried different socket, tired running the PC in my friend's flat to exclude any external pow…

    Hi, Not sure how to present this in order to get a few hints on how to fix this. I have upgraded P3D from 4.3 to 4.4 and now I find that some addon airports are causing constant CTD. Namely FT Boston rebooted, I have FT Cyyz and Kbuf and they work OK. Orbx LEBB Aerosoft EDDS I would load the flight and hear the engine (prop) and right away CTD. No event logs. These were all working fine in P3D 4.3. Checked websites and no reports of problems in V4.4 Not sure were to go from here. Maybe someone sends me in the right direction. Helmut

Good morning everyone, My FSX often does the same thing, the departure and climb is normal with good FPS ( 10-20 ) then while I am flying the terrain gets more and more blurry and FPS remain the same but I can see evident signs of hashes, and when I start decent, I start having regular background sounds telling the memory you know, FPS are still good but the rest is very annoying, then when I approach airport I often have either the FSX didnt respond message CDT or the FSX run out of memory message, but now I save my flights before approach... that is very annoying and if anyone had very good ways to get rid of this blurry terrain and CDT 2 messag…

  16. Hi All, Anyone know what on earth this is? It happens on start up after sceneries builds and then seems to cause my version 4.3 to crash, but in some sense still to be on because you cant try and restart it as it tells you a version of Prepar3D is running. Again here it is: An error box in which it is said: Hacklib::initContactPointsOffset()-Unsupported Prepar3D Version Ha! Seems like it was caused by FSLabs A320

If i try to fly with the overclock, i have a CTD after 20-30 minutes, if i fly without the overclock i can finish my flight. But, i realy want to fly using the overclock. Any idea of what do to? Thanks.

  21. OMG.... what a hot mess. Couldn't install Vancouver without GSX. Couldn't install GSX without SODE. SO, installed SODE, OK. Installed all the FSDT stuff, and P3D just hung at the splash screen Uninstalled all of it, replaced backups using Simstarter, of the dll.xml etc. files..... still wouldn't start. Went to their forums.... have to wait to be approved before posting. Their sign up page isn't even secure. What a hot mess. Needless to say, I'm out. BE WARNED ! Luckily, my trusty Macrium backed up my hard drive before the nightmare began.

  23. I've installed P3D v4.3 on the PC in my sig and have come across a serious problem which has baffled me. I am still adding airports and at present only have the FSDT and FB airports plus GSX, Ultimate Terrain X Europe, USA and TAC. Orbx FTX Global is also installed. I have installed MyTraffic6 and then after P3D problems removed it and copied the version I had on my previous computer running P3D v3.4. That version of MyTraffic was stable and I rarely had ntdll.dll crashes. I have conducted a series of tests this morning with and without the MyTraffic6 addon.
