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.

    Dear friends, I'm getting frustrated: I unistalled and reinstalled PKSim's Lima and now, I'm having a CTD each time at startup. It always happens between 86 and 100%, so I thought AI traffic (I use Alpha India) might be the culprit. But even without AI Traffic, the CTD persists. No idea what might cause it. Sim is P3Dv4.5 HF2. I have also ORBX South America LC installed there. Any help kindly appreciated! Regards Michael

    Yesterday, March 11 2021 I downloaded the very recent MSFS2020 update. Ever since that moment, I cannot use the sim. It loads, but when I select departure location and arrival etc then click on FLY the sim gives up and sends me back to my desktop. Tried it online, offline, updated drivers and windows. However, the only flights that do work is the challenges etc. Cant find anything on the net yet. Has anyone heard of this one. Sure glad I kept Prepard3d as a backup. Mike

    When the FSAerodata database is enabled in V5 I have seen a consistent CTD when using any aircraft that uses a default P3D GPS unit. The problem occurs when entering a direct to key entry on the first letter of the desired navigation fix or airport code. The sim will freeze and then close. When the FSaerodata database is disabled the error no longer occurs. This seems to be unique to version V5 including V5.1 as the problem does not exist in V4.5. Posted to the Fsaeodata support forum but did not receive a response. Interested if anyone else has observed this in V5.

    I saw one forum on Flight Unlimited III about running on windows 10 but it was closed. I am a new member and can't seem to find any more discussion about it. I'd be glad to hear from others who love this old flight sim and have or are trying to get it to run on windows 10. My Flight III runs almost perfect, great graphics, added planes and packages but the program crashed to the desktop as soon as I land (actually touch down) at an established airport. This doesn't happen on open fields or landing on water in a sea plane. Any help would be awesome. Glad I joined this forum. Hopefully I can hear from some of the other Flight Unlimited III simmers. Thanks for any help …

  7. Hi, I recently installed and uninstalled Navigraph Simlink on my sim and since I have had nothing but problems. I'm running FSX boxed version on Windows 10. I run the sim on a low settings and never had any problems before installing Simlink. Now, FSX won't recognise FSPassengers, see images below. Any ideas for a fix?

    Hello fellow nerds, I have recently had a problem with flying long-haul flights. Many times when I leave the computer unattended for a long period of time during the flight it gives me either the usual OOM error or a Microsoft Runtime error. Yesterday I flew from Zurich to Tokyo in real time over the whole day (almost 12 hours) and I had no issues at all since I was using my pc over the whole period (mostly watching YouTube or Twitch on Google Chrome whilst keeping an eye on the sim). After finishing that flight I wanted to fly back yesterday evening over the night. So I did everything as usual and started the flight, put the aircraft on Auto-Cruise (Auto stepclimbs …

  11. Hello friends, I'm having 2 problems with P3D V5.1. 1: I can't open my P3D because when I load the scenario it gives a CTD at 1% of the load. 2: When I open the P3D settings menu, it from CTD immediately after closing. I've tried things from many topics, from updating the video card driver to deleting some files in% APPDATA% and etc ... I'm not able to simulate because of these problems, I tried a reinstallation yesterday but the P3D website is OFF and I can't do anything about it.

    Hi all, First time poster here. Back in October 2018 I started getting an error out of the blue every time I started up FSX:SE. It says "Flight Simulator was unable to load some program files and will now exit". I have tried to reinstall 4 times (making sure to clear every single trace of FSX:SE that I could when uninstalling) and I've verified file integrity in Steam twice. No issues have shown up when verifying file integrity. At first I thought it was a corrupted file but from what I've seen I'm not sure it is that anymore. Anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    Resolved Issue Causing CTD Desktop seconds into a flight. Resolution: Graphics Setting Set Trees to LOW - Anything higher will cause CTD. Since release had the same issue soon as actually start a flight the sim would crash to desktop with no error code. After ensuring everything had the latest drivers and trying multiple configurations discovered that the Graphics Setting Trees on anything but LOW causes the CTD. Everything else can be set to Ultra or High and not cause an issue. Anyway hope this helps someone that might be experiencing the same or similar issue. And yes I was finally able to find my house. :-) M/B: X470 Gigabyte Gaming …

  16. Good afternoon, I've had the above mentioned error happen twice now. Once was during a flight yesterday. The A319 was in the air on AP flying between VCBI and WMKL. I stepped away from the computer for a couple minutes. When I returned the sim had closed and I was back looking at my desktop. Second was this afternoon. I had just programed the MCDU and was waiting for the boarding process to finish (fuel, passengers, and cargo). Next thing I know P3D had closed. Upon checking the event viewer, I saw that it was the same error as yesterday: faulting module path: C:\windows\system32\d3d10warp\prepar3d.exe I was able to fly multiple flights earlier this week and las…

I didn't find any error message on Event Viewer, neither on Error reporter... I tried every solution I could find, e.g.: Reinstalling the P3D client, moving scenery.cfg, renaming Prepar3D.cfg, renaming dll.xml, removing some addons, etc... Any ideas???

  20. If both these packages are loaded the the community folder in MSFS it appears they will cause a CTD if you attempt to start a flight in the area. I had both packages active and attempted to load a flight at KRNT. After clicking "Fly Now" in the flight planner, the simulator would load and then CTD before the flight finished loading. Disabling any one of these packages in the community folder clears the CTD. Both Orbx and Drzewiecki Designs have been informed on their respective Support Forums.

    Hi guys, I've been having this issue a couple times now. During cruise I'll get a notification that P3d has crashed. I will be on autopilot and everything will basically be moving super slowly. Flight controls unresponsive, I am able to disconnect autopilot, it's almost like it is in slew mode but not. This has happened probably 2 out of 10 flights or so. I am running Activesky and vpilot in the background. Thinking maybe a sim connect issue?

    Anyone else having this G2D.DLL error in their windows eventviewer after using WMR, with P3D V5 latest build since round about the 9. Oct. 2020 in combination with WMR and a addon like in my case only with Aerosoft A330 or QW 787? With FSLabs I don´t have these issues. Prior the 9. Oct. I didn´t have a single CTD at all. See my System specs for my setup and addons I am using. If anyone else is having this issue, which first starts with the "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG" message and than leads to a G2D.DLL error in the windows eventviewer, please chime at the LM forum and maybe also here (for me ;-)): P3D Thread 1 or P3D thread 2 If I use the QW 787 or Aer…
