Daily CTD

jaketeirney · December 24, 2012

Thanks for the help summer, I feel as if my hardware is able to cope, i never really get below 30fps in any situation, minus a few exceptions. I believe that it was squawkbox (not that I have any real idea what im talking about of course), because throughout the flight today id get an odd error to do with the squawkbox asking me to abort, retry or ignore, abort and retry immediately render a CTD and ignore prolongs the issue with recurring messages i think until it eventually dies taking FSX with it. And the second last line before the crash is squawkbox "LoadedModule[238]=E:\Program Files (x86)\Squawkbox\networks\vatsim.dll" it might have something to do with that. (still spit-balling, need the magic man (jim) to confirm).

believe it was due to squawkbox, however im not sure why.

Any Ideas?

Hi Jake,

You still have not removed the d3d9.dll from your fsx folder (LoadedModule[75]=E:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\d3d9.dll). It is trumping the system d3d9.dll and might be confusing things. Even though you might have removed the enb.ini, every dll located in the FSX folder will be loaded into the system.

You also have the uiautomationcore.dll in your main fsx folder. This is loading too. This dll is part of the dotnet package which developers use to run FSX and FSX addons. You probably have the Vista version in the folder as many have suggested to fix a fsx ctd. It is mainly a fix for a menu crash in fsx (some have indicated it has fixed other things too). If you are having crashes when touching the menu bar, then this dll is appropriate but it could be doing more harm than good if you are not getting those types of crashes. Move it to a temporary folder. If you start getting menu type crashes, then move it back. I and many other fsx users do not have this dll in our main fsx folder and we are seeing no crashes whatsoever. IMHO, I think those with older addons made for previous versions of fsx are seeing this menu crash more than those, like me, who only have fsx addons installed.

I doubt it has anything to do with Squawkbox as there was no faulting module shown indicating an issue with Squawkbox. I have read though that Squawkbox is not compatible with Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) and Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP). You might try disabling these services or make sure the services are disabled (click on the Start button, type Services in the search box, then look up in the Menu and click on Services).

As I mentioned before, high fsx/display settings cause crashes too. You should again review your settings and, if nothing else, go to the Scenery tab in your fsx settings and return those to the default (click on the reset to default... it will only change everything in the scenery tab to the default and will not touch any other settings). Then take a flight and see if that fixes the problem.

Even though I have made some other suggestions, I still think the hacked d3d9.dll is at fault.

Thank god we have jim huh?

Thanks Scarlett for your comments. Always appreciated! I see you are helping a lot in this forum too.

Best regards,

Jim

Do you by any chance run fsx and/or your OS on a SSD disk? If you are, then you should concider updating the firmware for it. My system became rock solid after doing so. Also putting automationcore.dll into your fsx folder if you run win7 is a good idea.

Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply.

You still have not removed the d3d9.dll from your fsx folder (LoadedModule[75]=E:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\d3d9.dll). It is trumping the system d3d9.dll and might be confusing things. Even though you might have removed the enb.ini, every dll located in the FSX folder will be loaded into the system.

The d3d9.dll is from PPIT which summer recommended to me to replace ENB series, however I will delete it because it does not work any how.

You also have the uiautomationcore.dll in your main fsx folder. This is loading too. This dll is part of the dotnet package which developers use to run FSX and FSX addons. You probably have the Vista version in the folder as many have suggested to fix a fsx ctd. It is mainly a fix for a menu crash in fsx (some have indicated it has fixed other things too).

IMHO, I think those with older addons made for previous versions of fsx are seeing this menu crash more than those, like me, who only have fsx addons installed.

I always thought the uiautomationcore.dll was a must have for win7 users so I have never tried to run FSX without it, I will also delete this file and see what happens.

I doubt it has anything to do with Squawkbox as there was no faulting module shown indicating an issue with Squawkbox. I have read though that Squawkbox is not compatible with Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) and Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP). You might try disabling these services or make sure the services are disabled (click on the Start button, type Services in the search box, then look up in the Menu and click on Services).

I will defiantly look into that and see what changes, but it is only the past 2-3 days that squawkbox has been playing up and I have had it for a few months, but never the less ill still look into it.

As I mentioned before, high fsx/display settings cause crashes too. You should again review your settings and, if nothing else, go to the Scenery tab in your fsx settings and return those to the default (click on the reset to default... it will only change everything in the scenery tab to the default and will not touch any other settings). Then take a flight and see if that fixes the problem.

Ill have a play with the sliders however they are not to extreme I wouldn't think and the hardware I believe should be able to cope, but again Im no expert so I should be listening to your every word haha.

Do you by any chance run fsx and/or your OS on a SSD disk? If you are, then you should concider updating the firmware for it. My system became rock solid after doing so. Also putting automationcore.dll into your fsx folder if you run win7 is a good idea.

Hi Andreas, I do have an SSD but it only runs Windows, still might provide a performance boost to the overall system, however I read your post a few days ago and like you I'm worried about corruption and other things but I might give it go anyway.

Again thanks guys for the wonderful help that your providing me, you guys make CTD's much less of a nightmare, and I do apologize for dragging this out for so long haha.

Ill let you know in a few days of my progress

The d3d9.dll is from PPIT which summer recommended to me to replace ENB series, however I will delete it because it does not work any how.

Okay. It's still a hacked dll and FSX is too old of a program to like hacks like this. It does work for many though so worth trying. It's just that you probably should remove it until you find the issue that is causing your crashes.

I always thought the uiautomationcore.dll was a must have for win7 users so I have never tried to run FSX without it, I will also delete this file and see what happens.

There are a lot of 'experts' out there who think the uiautomationcore.dll is the magic bullet for fixing FSX crashes. I consider it a placebo as it works for some and doesn't for many others. The uiautomationcore.dll is part of the dotnet framework and the dll in your folder should be the one that was made for Vista (as some say FSX was developed for Vista). It makes sense but it only fixes menu crashes and, as you can see, nothing else. Moving it to a temporary folder until you resolve this crash is the best solution.

You will find that high slider settings really does little to improve graphics in FSX. You can't see people standing on top of buildings by placing the sliders all the way to the right. I follow the setting guidelines put out by the developers of FTX/Orbx in their manuals. They are not set to the max. There is no need to set them to the max. In fact I get my best graphics and rendering when my settings are kept near the guidelines of FTX/Orbx. Setting everything to the max only causes stuttering, the 'blurries', CTD's and a lot of potential frustrations. Maxing out autogen or keeping it high is insane in my mind. Maybe the next generation of CPU's/chipsets/memory will all max settings all of the time but I really don't think this was the desire of the FSX developers when they put this product together. If you have read Word Not Allowed's guide on hardware and software settings for FSX -http://#####.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/, he goes a little to the extreme with his settings and has admitted to some crashes. CTD's take all of the enjoyment out of learning how to fly and flying a flightplan in heavy weather. Fortunately I have seen very few CTD's in my years of experience with flight sims and, if I do see a CTD, it turns out not to be really a CTD as the error report shows up after I complete a flight and I shutdown FSX. The g3d.dll CTD was an exception and I think that's really the only real CTD I have ever experienced that was almost impossible to resolve until the developer of FSUIPC found out a cause and put a fix for it in his FSUIPC program. Without that fix, many of us, including me, would still be crashing.

One last suggestion... make sure you run a registry cleaner regularly. Not every day but maybe at least once a month. Keeping your system tuned and in the best possible condition will help in reducing CTD's.

Best regards,

Jim

Okay so tried everything that has been said except the registry cleaner, seemed to have slipped my mind and still no good. Still received the messages from squawkbox and this time when I right-clicked FSX crashed (does uiautomationcore.dll protect against that?). Are there any other possible avenues I could take?

when I right-clicked FSX crashed (does uiautomationcore.dll protect against that?).

The Vista version (only a certain version and a link to it is in Word Not Allowed's guide) fixes menu crashes when you left-click on a menu but only for some. If you look in a recent post here, one individual reported putting the uiautomationcore.dll into his main FSX directory and those crashes continued. Like I've stated, I have never been able to replicate this menu crash and I'm positive it's related to memory and a memory issue as the uiautomationcore.dll is used by Windows.net to manage memory for a developers program. There are so many possibilities for these types of crashes it's impossible to count. Your BIOS settings may be at fault. For instance, I lowered by CPU voltages too low once and got CTD's constantly until I returned them to the previous setting. You set your CPU voltages too high or too low for your overclock and your computer will crash when stress is placed on the system components. Same with memory voltages. Like one other individual recently stated, it could be a missing texture, a missing gauge, maybe a missing sound in a sound file. Computer component setup. There is no magic bullet but, in your case, I can almost state for certain it's an issue with your FSX and display driver settings. You can try disabling all of your addon scenery and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then reenable them 3 at a time and try again until the crash occurs again. You can then narrow it down to a piece of software that is probably causing the problem and uninstall/reinstall it.

I see the last two modules loaded before the crash were related to Squawkbox. Maybe that's the problem.

Best regards,

Jim

Okay to sum it all up.

Status Report:

I have no idea how to do any of the CPU voltage settings or BIOS settings.

Sliders have been lowered (not a huge amount but comply with FTX recommended settings)

Registry has been repaired

No ENB etc. installed

Squawkbox is not being used

Disabled several addon sceneries

Uiautomation.... has been reinstalled due to a previous error (right-clicking mid-flight CTD) and it has fixed it ever since

Outcome: No change still getting frequent CTD.

Things I have not done:

CPU voltage, BIOS settings

Updated Firmware on SSD

Lowered sliders further down (will be next test flight, however struggle to believe this is the cause because I would of thought my hardware could manage the slider settings and the computer is just over a year old, but I again I have no real idea.)
