renault Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The end of the day, both for the sim and for me. After 3 days of startup CTD's , not caused by MS2020 but rather a Nahimic update , all is forgiven. It's a quirky sim sometimes and at others it will drive you to distraction, but gosh I love it to bits when its working nicely Cheers R KSBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 great shot Pete, lucky here to as I think the only 3 CTD's I have had in MSFS were caused by my impatience and pressing buttons to quick and changing settings to much just to see what happened......

lifejogger Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Outstanding shot Pete. I have never had a CTD in MSFS, probably because my settings are pretty basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John Actually I would count on one hand the number of times I have had an problem In SU5 , it is non scenery addons (liveries sometimes etc.) that haven't been updated that cause issues. The audio product was interesting though as it worked absolutely until it was updated this last time. The windows event viewer is easy to use and basically will help you to pinpoint exactly what was causing the problem. Worth its weight in gold, when you have issues. Or if you want to make it very much easier, just type maintenance in the search window. The Security & Maintenance app will pop up. click Open. then click the dropdown arrow for maintenance, and then click View Reliability History. You will then get a nice graph by time which will have a red circle with a little x on it under Application failure which is where you had the failing app. Put your cursor over the red circle, it will then change to a hand and click it. Below the graph under critical events you will see a line with the Flightsimulator.exe . It will give you info on the time and date of failure and at the far right hand side , under Action, you will see in blue lettering View technical details. Click that and you will then have a page which will describe exactly what happened to cause MS2020 to crash. Bit of "googling" for the exception code and you will now have the reason and any other programs, .dlls etc that were the root cause are also listed . It actually is much easier to do than the description.

Thanks Wayne. I'm pleased you enjoyed it. That will do it. I've been there as well Cheers Pete 8 hours ago, lifejogger said: Outstanding shot Pete. I have never had a CTD in MSFS, probably because my settings are pretty basic. Hi John Thank you I've actually never had an issue with settings. As I explained above , it almost invariably caused by a misbehaving addon. SU5 changed many things and a lot of developers (mainly freeware) just haven't had a chance to catch up. But like everything , it will get all sorted out and then it will be good. Cheers! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
