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.

    Ok, I'll post that here since I suspect it may be DX10 related but I am not sure. I currently need some help tracking down a BSOD issue that randomly happens after 10 minutes till 2 hours of flying the PMDG MD-11. Usually one would suspect unstable overclock for that, but since I flew the same route, same situation and same overclock in the PMDG 777 twice without issues, as well as pass any possible stability tests, I dont think thats the cause of the problem. Anyone has a tip on where to start? Since I understand that blue screens are never directly related to a software, I think reinstalling won't fix anything here....

  2. Hello! I was flying from Istanbul to Cairo and near Ankara i contacted Ankara Center and after some seconds the sim quitted to desktop, without any prompt, without any event log. I started again the same flight. And it happened again at the same exact point, just after contacting Ankara Center. A third try, same. At the same exact point. A fourth time, without any addons. Same... :blink: P3D 3.3.5, Windows 10 64bit. This is out of my understanding. Could someone have any idea? Thanks a lot.

    Hi I in need of some help. A while ago i posted topic in the official prepared forum, which is that I've been having issues since v3.1, in that the simulation crashes after using simulation rate greater than 8x. Once going back down to 4 and below the traffic re loads, carries on a for a few moments, then crashes. This happens regardless of any add ons installed etc. Its completely ruined my experience with prepar3d. If anyone could offer any help id appreciate it. thanks.

The aircraft shows in preview but when I hit fly now I get a white box where the textures normally load the a CTD. This is the only plane this happens with.

    I haven't touched anything with files, nor have installed anything, but randomly, my P3D just now started crashing on launch. The reason being the ai_player.dll. I deleted the file, no luck. Replaced the file, no luck. I have no traffic on, and I have 2 freeware ORBX sceneries (cause I heard ORBX had trouble with this) Please help Grant

    Good evening, I have had constant crashing of my P3D over the past few days after NEVER having a problem. It appears that I am having issues after the program has been running for anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes due to an unhandled exception. On viewing my event log I am showing a .NET Framework Version: v4.0.30319 failure but I should have a much more current version. Any ideas?

  9. Had this problem before but can't remember the fix.. When I start P3D I see the splash screen. Then I see something loading and then the splash screen goes away and I can't open P3D. The program is still running according to task manager but I can't ope or activate it. Tried a fresh DLL.xml and config but that won't help. ***EDIT*** My god... How can I forget to update FSUIPC after installing a sim update....

    Dear All, I recently started getting lots of CTDs with P3D 2.4 with the faulting module always MSVCR100.dll. Having done a load of Google searches and trying all the fixes I could find, it was still happening. I spent best part of a day disabling, testing, disabling, testing until I found the culprit. What fixed it for me was to delete the FSUIPC4.ini file and let it generate a new one. This is not a dig or accusation at FSUIPC (v4.937) but it seems to have got it's knickers in a twist about something and letting it start over fixed this particular CTD. Hope this saves someone some time, Ian

  22. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION I evidently have two problems with the operation of my FSX. The first I have been dealing with for over a year. My computer is about 5 or 6 years old, but it was designed and built specifically for the FSX program. I originally had the Gold Version with Acceleration. When it was installed, following tweaking, it performed for four years without any problems at all. I have aircraft only from Carenado and Alabeo and scenery only from ORBX. Then, apparently for no reason at all, it began locking up my computer after even a short flight. I would begin a free flight either from a saved flight or just from the startup page. I would fly witho…

  23. I just bought v3 to upgrade from v2.5, and I'm getting more instability than I ever had in 2.5. I'm running the same hardware as before and same addons in P3D, so I doubt it's an issue with my computer. Here are the event logs from the crash, one for P3D and the other for .NET runtime, as these happened simultaneously so I'm thinking they're connected (I have .NET framework 4.6.1 installed). Can anyone help me? Crashes occur completely randomly. Sometimes they happen on startup, sometimes when I'm using the menu setting up a flight, sometimes during loading, sometimes a minute after I start flying and sometimes 15 minutes after. I tried reinstalling the FSDT addon manager…

  25. For the past several months, I have been having an issue with P3D in that occasionally when I move the mouse to the menu section to change location or vehicles, it freezes on the left side of the of screen, causing the computer to completely lock up. Even Pressing Control-Alt-Delete does nothing and the only option seems to be to do a hard shutdown and restart the computer. I changed mouse devices, checked for driver updates and still no resolution. I replaced the .cfg file, and no help. I am using w7, Saitek Hub and throttles, and multiple monitors. This does not happen in FSX, and only began a few months ago, in-spite of the fact that I have been using p3…
