Francois van Loggerenberg Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I have all the EU areas as well as all the TrueEarth GB areas. I tried Prepar3d v5 but it didn't work so rolled back to V4.5. Now if I try to use TrueEarth GB South without EU England active I get a crash to desktop with the following message in the event log: Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 4.5.14.34698, time stamp: 0x5e94b5c2 Faulting module name: g2d.dll, version: 4.5.14.34698, time stamp: 0x5e94b545 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00000000001189f3 Faulting process ID: 0x6fc Faulting application start time: 0x01d667d96c3d80fa Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Prepar3D.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\g2d.dll Report ID: 3ca1af21-35af-4479-856e-0352b610fcbe Faulting package full name: Prepar3d say this is due to Exception code: 0xc0000005 the scenery trying to write to an area memory where it does not have rights to. Can anyone confirm if they are aware of what might cause this. I can have EU England active I guess but I'd not experienced this previously and was saving disk space by uninstalling the EU GB areas when I was using TrueEarth.

Nick Cooper Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hello Francois, over the years, it has become clear that the g2d.dll error is just a catchall report for when the simulator or PC cannot handle the work that is asked of it. What was it that prevents you from using P3D v5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois van Loggerenberg Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi Nick - what I find odd is that the simulator can handle TrueEarth GB South when EU England is installed, but not when it is not - that just seems odd to me. I was getting GPU crashes with V5 all time time. My graphics card was not up to it - which is a pity because it looked great for the couple of minutes it did work.

Nick Cooper Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hello, my solution for P3D v5, as it is now, is to disable all shadows. This gives up to 3 GB of VRAM back in return for very little and allows me to use sensibly detailed settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois van Loggerenberg Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thanks Nick, that's good to know. I did return it for a refund, but I may try that again. I'll see how V4.5 looks without shadows... and then if it's okay that is a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
