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.

    Hi, Whenever I do a long haul flight, around half way to 3/4 of the way through I get a CTD. The faulting path being ntdll.dll.

Twin Otter Extended 1.21. It hangs or crashes to desktop in several seconds after engines shutdown. I've seen numerous threads on the very same issue, but no useful information.

  4. Hi, For some reason with UK2000 Scenery that is not v4 compatible I get an ntdll.dll crash when P3D loads the auto-generated scenery. My friend has also downloaded and installed UK2000 scenery but he does not get a crash when he loads into the sim. Any fixes? Thanks

  5. Started by CaptainSaint,

    So I started converting over my freeware sceneries to P3D v4.1. I'm adding them through add-on.xml, but after some "limit" of add-on.xml files, my P3D crashes on the Scenario screen, if I remove the same amount off add-on.xml it works again. Also I'm pretty positive that it's not because of the freeware sceneries. Because I've read some posts, where people have similar problems even with payware addons. I just wanna know if someone else is experiencing this and if someone knows a fix for this?

  6. Dear all, I am experiencing a very weird and frustrating CTD phenomenon in P3Dv4: If I start the sim at the default airport with the default plane (F22), it crashes after 1-3min of flying around. Leaving the plane on the runway without any movement does not crash it. Taking off from the default airport (Eglin AFB) in a different plane also causes the crash to happen, most of the time slightly later than in the previous set up. Sometimes I get a Windows error message telling me that P3D has stopped working, but in most cases the simulator simply freezes and exits directly a few seconds later. Now comes the weird part: I can fly around in other areas (e.g. Europe…

    I kept getting a CTD for the first time in a while last night flying from CYYZ (flytampa) to KORD. The CTD would be before the plane would load on the ground at the gate. This was a night flight with FSL320. I have ORBX (not Vector) running and Black marble vector. The crash didn't happen when picking a day/dusk flight. Only night.

    Until now, I have enjoyed a very stable flight sim environment--the only other CTD was due to the MS security update--information on this forum helped me to temporarily resolve that. --I am currently running P3D v. 3.4xx on Win 10 Home OS--Jetline built computer last year and GTX 1070 Nvidia video card with latest updated driver. I will now describe what is happening. 1. Double click on P3D icon to run flightsim. I run Prepar3D as administrator 2.

I mouse click (left or right click) on the black screen and only hear the "Windows chi…

    So yesterday I flew from Nairobi to Johannesburg in the MD-11 recreating the second flight of the recent Air-Clips MD-11 video on Youtube. I had a great flight and all was well, not one issue. I had the freeware Nairobi airport scenery installed from here, and on landing decided to download some Johannesburg scenery also from here, which also changed the airport designater from FAJS to FAOR. However after finding I was unable to redirect all of my World of AI traffic to the new FAOR airport changed it back and removed the Johannesburg scenery. Today I started up the sim and I am getting "Your computer has run out of available memory error" even before the sim has loa…

    I just wanted to say that I was having a terrible time with CTDs, usually when I switched from full screen mode to windowed mode. I tried everything, searched everywhere, and could find nothing. What finally fixed it was when I deleted REX Direct. Ever since, I have had zero CTDs and my sim has never ran smoother. Disappointing, because I really liked REX, but I find the default clouds with ASN to be fine for my needs. Hope this helps someone. Andrew Grey

If not, can someone help me with this g3d.dll problem plus many other .dll crashes? This happens while I'm playing one of the missions in FSX.

I've done everything that it comes to my mind. I've rebuilt my fsx.cfg, I v'e done the same with the scenery.cfg using a backup before I had any issue with the game. I've updated my video card graphics and checked my anti-virus to see if somehow something has been moved to quarantine or being deleted. I've just literally run out of any other ideas. Can anyone help me please. Thank you so much for your time.
