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.

  2. Just installed the Flight 1 ATR 72 under FSX Deluxe SP2 Windows 10. After I installed it and selected the ATR 72 as an aircraft, it hangs. It did ask me to load the DLLs, etc and I answered Yes and it hung loading the aircraft. All other FSX A/C load fine.. With the phase out of FSX, not sure whether Flight 1 will offer support. Thanks for any help provided...

    I have windows 10, a GTX 980, 16GB of ram, and an intel 5820k. Yet I cannot play this game. My old PC ran it better than this, at least I never got any OOM on it anyway. Why do I get OOM, how do I fix it? I want to fly again without hearing the OOM chimes. I had a GTX 660 Ti, and 8GB of ram on there, and an i7 2600k. You'd think with better of everything, that the performance on this would be better. So why did that computer never give me OOM and this one gives it at the drop of a hat?

  5. Twice now I have run out of memory with FSX, and I also have another game that has similar problems, Elite Dangerous. I have windows 10, and the microsoft fix installer does not solve my problem, and I was wondering how I change my "heap limit" in Windows 10 or even see if this is the problem?

    Hi, so everytime I load PMDG 777, it shows up for maybe a second (virtual cockpit) and then the game shuts down to desktop, NO ERROR MESSAGE! It just disappears. Doesn't matter which airport etc. Also this doesn't happen with any other aircraft (as far as I know), PMDG 737NG works just fine. My specs: ASRock H97 Anniversary Intel Core i5-4590 3,3 GHz MSI NVIDIA GTX960 OC 2GB 8 GB RAM (2x4) Windows 10 x64 Did anyone come across the same problem? I've got everything up to date, all service packs etc. I do have some other addons but I actually wiped the SDD yesterday and I tried to install FSX and PMDG777 only. Still the same issue. Thanks in advanc…

    Hello. I have had this crash-to-desktop twice now, both of the times it happened after I calibrated by joystick. It has some problem with the rudder axis, sometimes the axis doesn't go all the way (i.e turning it full left does not move the rudder fully left). This is usually fixed by calibrating it, but after I apply the calibration, FSX crashes. I am using FSX Deluxe with SP2, no FSUIPC, add-ons installed were Aerosoft Airbus X Extended, FSDreamTeam's KJFK v2, and AES 2.39a. I am running Windows 10, only tweaks are HIGHMEMFIX, WideVieWAspect, Texture Max Load (4096), and Bufferpools=0. This does not seem to be caused by bufferpools, it happened without the tweak too…

  9. So My Prepar3D was working very poorly for awhile and so was my computer so I got it taken in for tweaking. A very long time later I got it back. I needed to renew and bugfix prepar3d again. So that's what I did. Anyway long story short The Sims fps is not very stable constantly changing between 10-30fps. My Sim has now started crashing every time I start or load it or try and fly. Here is my prepar3d.cfg file attached. My specs will be below aswell. If anymore information is needed just ask. Attached is event viewer logs from typical crash as well. Many thanks in advanced.

    Fellow simmers, First of all, don't know if this is the correct forum for this problem but it is a CTD so.... I recently bought a new pc and decided to go with Prepar3dv2 for it. So I bought the academic license, the most common planes together with Orbx Global Base, My traffic 6 and also two airports. I decided to start with a long haul and I was amazed how smooth it ran, even with really high settings and both ASN and REX active in the sim. And so it happened, just after T/D P3D crashed. I got the message "The program has stopped working....". I tried to lower the settings and started FMC completely before it crashes. The last time I even tried to set all s…

  12. I'm posting here as a last resort. I recently upgraded my pc to an i7 4790k and have been trying to get my pc up and running properly ever since. I installed windows then the 1st update I installed was service pack 1. Windows itself is running fine & not having any problems with that. So last night I installed FSX and the install freezes for a few minutes on removing applications, the continues the install (this has never happened to me prior to updating pc). After the install has finished I launched FSX for the 1st time, then exited it and ran a defrag of the drive. Next I installed FSX acceleration pack and that freezes on updating component …

    Hello. So I built a new PC for FSX, but I have been getting quite frequent crashes to the desktop. The AppCrashView report is linked at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30271625/Report.wer These happen quite randomly, this one was at a gate in EGKK in the PMDG737NGX. The only addons running were UK2000 EGKK scenery, the NGX, and AES 2.39a. My OS is Windows 10 x64 and the only tweaks to FSX are HGHMEMFIX, WideViewAspect, and NVIDIA Inspector tweaks. I would like to resolve this without installing Windows 7. Thanks in advance.

    I felt I had to record my sincere thanks to AVSIM for the help I received recently on 2 topics that I posted. They each received no fewer than around 40 posts each from the moderator Jim Young, as I struggled to correct things. In particular, he kept the faith that with his help, I would get there in the end and achieve a satisfactory result. For an amateur like myself this Forum has proved invaluable. No doubt there may be other problems in the future with my FSX but for the time being I'm flying again, thanks to AVSIM. :smile:

Recently, due to an un-related problem, I've had to completely uninstall FSX and all addons associated with it.

All the scenery for England & Wales installed correctly but the Scotland scenery will not install.

    Hello everyone, I have just recently flown VATSIM's CTP 2015 westbound. On final approach, the FS made the error noises and crashed. This is strange for me because I am using Direct X 10. I have flown much longer flights 15-17 hour flights without this anomaly, but on this short flight from EHAM-KBOS, an OOM!!! I thought OOMs couldn't happen under Direct X 10. I am using Steve's DirectX fixer to make everything work. Is there some explanation for this problem? Thanks, 1251452 PS: the acars (VAFS sucks) also failed to recover the flight, so all is lost.

    Hello, Lately, all of a sudden, FSX-SE started freezing for me. I already explained everything in this topic: http://www.avsim.com/topic/474350-ngx-causing-freezes/ so I won't go over it again. When FSX freezes, it will freeze only with the PMDG 737 and for way too long. Minutes perhaps hours which is unacceptable especially since it just started happening. I have tried everything people have fixed freezing with and nothing worked. Please help. Thanks
