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, I've been flying with V4 for a few weeks now, and have had a problem quite a few times. P3D crashes when I re tab back into it from another window. To be clear, I don't use Alt + Tab as I'm in windowed and use the task bar to switch. But when I return to P3D it runs fine, and then once I press a command within the sim it freezes and crashes. I run PMDG aircraft only at the moment. Secondly, I have also been having crashes where the simulator just shuts down in the background while in another tab. For both of these there is no error log in the event viewer. Any advice appreciated, thanks for the help! Edit: I'm using FSUIPC 5 (free)

    So as the title states I keep getting this crash on approach to ATL. I've tried this flight now twice and can duplicate it. Im running ORBX, Base, vector and North America with the 737 NGX latest version. Not really sure whats going here as this is the default ATL scenery. I'm also not anywhere near the airport when it crashes. usually descending towards the airport about 150 miles out. Are there any particular logs I can search to see what the issue was? I was approaching on the VYPPR1 and nearing JAZSZ when the crash occurs. If I load a flight near ATL I don't have a crash. So strange. Edit: Trying the CTD Guide.

    Experienced the second crash so far with Prepar3d V4 (admittedly, after several weeks of use since release). I really do find it ridiculous that we simmers are still suffering crashes from a decade old program (which is really all Prepar3d is along with a few updates and $60-$200 charges), but enough with my rant. I realize this is a complex program and an infinite amount of complications that can be caused by addons and interactions etc. Anyway, this one occurred 6 hours into my 11 hour KSEA-ZBAA flight. I simply heard a stutter from the engines before seeing the sim screen go foggy and being greeted with the (Prepar3d is not responding) crash message, leaving me wit…

    HI, Been running FSX for years and for last couple of years have not had any problems with OOMS despite what I throw at FSX and I do throw a lot at it. About 2 months ago started to get OOMS again. Not added anything for FSX for a very long time. The VAS monitor shows RED and full on initial splash screen which is very strange. Have tried running FSX barebones but makes no difference. I am going to rebuild FSX but just thought I would post this to see if anyone else has had this problem.

  11. Help please. Everything was working fine in P3Dv4 and still does now unless I select a PMDG aircraft. If I do then P3D will build and will then crash to desktop shortly after 100%. It is a fault on ucrtbase.dll according to event viewer but as I say only when loading a PMDG aircraft. Please help. Thanks CaptainGB1

    Hello all. Normally I can figure out what is causing my sim not to launch in the resources available here and elsewhere on the internet, but this one has me stumped. I started up P3D for the first time in a couple weeks today, after installing the Aerosoft CRJ and Turbulent Designs KIDA, and the first launch went smoothly. I went in to move some sliders around, and after making minor slider changes, the sim will not start. CTD every time. I have tried rebooting, as well as starting the sim with all security turned off, all to no avail. Below is my report and any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

    So I discovered yet another reason why my P3D v4 is always crashing and after getting back from Oshkosh and buying X-Plane 11 I wanted to do a nice long haul flight in P3D v4 with the PMDG 747, I open up P3D and then the expected happens, it crashes. One thing I noticed was that it was running slower and there was no aircraft spinning around in the window. I was able to select an aircraft and then click on begin flight but then the program stops responding and it crashes. I've confirmed that all of my addons are compatible with P3D v4. But something that caught my interest was the last flight before Oshkosh I did, I was flying into CYYZ and the entire airport was just a b…

    Since I installed P3D v4 I had 3 CTDs but only when in flight, after having visored the Garmin GPS, while variable the distance range appeared on Windows 10 message "The program has stopped working" and P3d v4 went into CTD. Precisely that I redone the same flight each time and the problem did not manifest itself as it did not manifest itself on other flights but these random CTDs that happen as varied on the GPS distant range, have never occurred on P3D v3.4.

  17. Twenty minutes into a flight from Birmingham (EGBB) to Ponta Delgada (LPPD) in Concorde my flight sim machine suffered a BSOD with BAD_POOL_HEADER shown as the cause. Sim is P3D v3.4. Computer specs in sig, It appears to be memory related. On 8 June I replaced my existing RAM with two new Crucial sticks mainly as preparation for P3D v4. When I first booted it up after replacing the memory I noticed a LED code on the mobo - A0 which equates to IDE initialization is started but despite leaving the BIOS alone this doesn't seem to have been an issue. The PC has been very stable since I bought the memory and I've flown perhaps 30-40 flights all without a problem. I r…

    Hello everyone, I have been using FSX on and off for the past five years or so. I remember playing it on Windows 7 and Windows 8 with little to no problems. Out of nostalgia, I decided to start the game up once again after a long period of not playing, this time on my new laptop, which has Windows 10 installed. And the constant crashes have been driving me insane. It's really bad. It has gotten to a point where I can't even finish a single flight without the game freezing for a few seconds and then giving me the ol' "a fatal error has occured" message. It happens at random points during the flight -- for example, last night it crashed on me while I was landing a…
