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, in the last days my simulator started crashing, it happens after approximately 2 hours of flight when i turn the sound on. When i turn the sound on (Q) i can hear only the sound from the cocpit (air condition etc.) but not the engine sound. When i turn the sound off and on again, P3D will crash. It is happening in the PMDG 737NGX but i can not tell if the problem is fixed to NGX or not as i only fly with the 737. Any ideas? Regards Felix PC: Intel Core i7-4790 3.60 GHz , Nvidia GTX745, 8GB RAM Here is the log from AppCrashView: Version=1 EventType=APPCRASH EventTime=131092326401527988 ReportType=2 Consent=1 UploadTime=131092326404382629 ReportI…

    Hi All I am hoping for some help with a CTD issue I am having with FSX (standalone version). This has occured whilst flying EGLL-OMDB with the PMDG T7. I had flown KORD-EGLL previously last week and had no issues, also with the PMDG T7. I had done a couple of flights prior to that also with the T7 and NGX, all with no issues. I did have some CTD's earlier in the year with the T7 and from what I remember they usually occured when in Europe rather than NA. The flight today crashed about 2 hours in so I reloaded, it carried on for an hour then crashed again. The faulting module path are unknown although when I exited after the second crash it did point to terrain.dll as …

    Hello one and all, first time poster so please be gentle! I am running FSX Acceleration and have just 'upgraded' to Windows 10. Since I've done this, FSX has stopped working. Well, it loads, let's me plan a flight, download weather etc and when I press 'fly now', it crashes back to my desktop... Anyone have any ideas why or if there is a fix?? Thanks

    It was about 3/4 thru my flight in the PMDG 737NGX for P3D, I decided it was getting too dark and really wanted to land during dusk. Reset the time back about 30 minutes and while the bar was loading I got the CTD g2d.dll. I then tried to reload the flight via Simstarter NG and P3D started up but I think when it went to load the flight it crashed. That error according to Appcrash was ntdll.dll. Started going thru the process using the AVSIM guide to eliminate the culprit. It seems its just PMDG related. Load other aircraft via SimstarterNG and they load fine. Load other aircraft not using SimstarterNG and they load fine. I load the default flight …

    Hi I just did a partial upgrade from v3.0 to v3.2 (P3D) last night by uninstalling and installing the client and content of P3D. Launching P3D (v3.23) takes me to the flight set up screen (choose vehicle, location, weather, etc.) and I select the default Raptor at default airport. No problem. (EzDok starts as well, ASN no problem). I then select another vehicle from the pull down menu, and for a second the plance loads (I can see the VC loading) then boom! My PC shuts down. No rebooting. I checked the error log and it is telling me "Kernal-Power 41". I have no idea what this error is, but more importantly, what shall I do? Appreciate your advice. Kay

    I've recently come back to FSX and was having problems with seemingly random CTDs of FSX CD version in Win10. In the end I installed the steam edition and that cured it. However when I read this thread and guide I went back to the disk version and post CTD used windows event viewer and found that the uiautomationcore was to blame. The version being used by FSX was I presume the Win10 version in c:\windows\system32 dir. As suggested I downloaded an earlier uiautomationcore (version 2008) and installed it in the FSX directory. So far so good - no more CTDs. Derry.

  14. I've even upgraded to the latest release of Nvidia drivers - 365.10 - but whenever I try to bring my FSX: SE session to windowed mode, or ALT-Tab to access other applications, after a while I get a CTD... There are no specific logs on the event viewer ( windows 10 64 bit here ). Also, the window can not be positioned where I want it to... I used to place it from the top of the screen, in 1920 x 560, and use WindowsBorderlessGamming to use FSX:SE with Aerowinx PSX, but I can no longer do it :-( because it disappears whenever I change to the PSX window... and after a while FSX:SE crashes... Any hints ? Thx!

I installed P3d v3.2 and at startup when loading a scenaro, I am now getting a fatal error Faulting application path: D:\Prepar3Dv3\Prepar3D.exe Faulting module path: D:\Prepar3Dv3\bglmanx.dll I know it has to do with the fsdt/couatl applications but I dont own any of the sceneries or GSX. I did own have the QW757 but I deleted it from 3.1. Anyone else run into this issue? Also are there other developers who use this..I forget.(Flightbeam,etc..) I dont think so but I want to be sure.
