Hey all,

 

I run FSX on Windows 7 64bit, i have a system that runs FSX really really well in terms of frames that are based on the settings and CFG edits posted by Kostas.

 

Now one thing that is happening way to often is the sudden freezing, basically during the start of sim play, FSX will freeze occasionally and audio will crash in a looped irritating tone, and the only way to get out/fix this is to hard reboot the PC.....LONG and annoying and difficult to narrow down the cause.

 

Now i suspect i might have a sound card issue here, my drivers are up to date but even when i first got the PC in July 2012 i wasnt oeverwhelmed with the sound card performance anyway but didnt think it would have an effect on FSX with play crashes, but im also not that impressed with music playback either so im thinking of getting a new Sound Card.

 

I however have no idea what im looking for, is there a sound card that FSX would take to nicely and playback music audio much better???

 

I think i had a Realtek HD Audio 7.1 Card placed in my PC on the initial build but im sure this might be a cause of the FSX crashes...

Me too, might be an excess amount of addons...

Sounds like the "UIAutomationCore.dll" incompatibility problem, Bradley.

 

Go here, download it to the root folder of FSX, and then modify it's name to that shown in this post. I suspect your problem will then go away.....

 

:smile:

Thanks for the link...what exactly is this file and the cause of the crashes?

 

EDIT: Ive just done some reading up on it, thanks again

What happened to the reply regarding stackhash errors?!?!?!!

Waaaaalll l expect it was made after the Wednesday backup, Bradley, and so it's probably lost - However! I scratched the old head and remembered where it was, so here you go! :lol:

 

All the best,

Thanks for that, but i am at the last part of doing this and i get this message when clicking on the "add" button and then locating the FSX.exe desktop shortcut

So why not just select Turn on DEP for Windows Essential Programs only? That's where mine is, done a couple a years back I think.

 

Secondly, Brad - reading your first post again - it does sound more like a sound card problem. Again - any time I put a Sound Blaster in the pc - I would get a failure like yours within three - four weeks.

I was having stackhash BEX CTDs which stands for buffer overflow exception. I'm pretty sure it was caused by clocking my ram to 2400. I turned it down to 2133 and they seemed to have stopped. Still testing though.
