FSX Crash on decent/approcah

[SKEWR 364]

Hi;
 
On several flights, at TOD or shortly before, my FSX has developed a propensity to crash. I've tried turning off background services/processes and tried leaving them all on. Still I have crashes. So, help! (Please)
 
Thanks for looking!

 

I've hidden the report so it doesn't take up crazy amounts of space...

[Jim Young 2,356]

NTDLL.DLL is the faulting module - I was getting this error as the faulting module every time I loaded FSX with a flight from KIAD to KCLT (Wash to Charlotte). I have no tweaks but my LOD_Radius was set to 6.5. Lowered it to 5.5 and still got a crash. I checked my dll.xml and had two entries for PMDG and several entries for software I had uninstalled. I removed those entries and the duplicate PMDG entry. Tried the flight again and no CTD.

 

On another occasion, after opening AS2012 and then starting up FSX for a flight from KIAD to KORD, I loaded the PMDG777. All went well in pouring rain and I took off on runway 30. Soon after that I got the mouse pointer indicating something was running then a crash. A look at the AppCrashView indicated the faulting module was ntdll.dll.  I discovered (in the crash report) I again had the uiautomationcore.dll in my main fsx folder. I never installed this module and some unknown software program installed it (we now know it was FSDT installers which have since been fixed not to install this dll). I deleted the module. Ran AS2012 and FSX with the same scenario as above (same time, same location, same flightplan, same weather from AS2012). This time I had no crash and was able to complete the flight to Chicago. The FSUIPC log indicated I had an average of 36 fps throughout the flight.

 

Fault Tolerant Heap and NTDLL.dll. Heap metadata can become corrupted and it has been identified by Microsoft as one of the most common causes of application failures. When an application crash shows the faulting module as ntdll.dll along with the Memory Access Violation (0xc0000005)(this is what your crash report is showing), then Windows places the application on a watch list and, if the application crashes at least four times or more in an hour, the fault tolerant heap service will configure the application to use the fault tolerant heap service in the future (Source - Chapter 10, Memory Management, Windows Internals, Part 2: Covering Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 by Mark E. Russinovich, David A Solomon, and Alex Ionescu). The service is part of the Security Center service.  So far, I have had a Fault Tolerant Heap Event in the Event Viewer once and no longer have ntdll.dll crashes.

Ok thanks.

I'll try moving the .dll and scrubbing the dll.xml. My lod has always been 4.5 as I try to keep things modest with fsx.

 

By the way, what is the benefit of a higher lod? Less autogen pop?

Hi Cory,

 

No, sharper textures in the distance.  The highest FSX setting is 4.5 if you have the LOD slider moved all the way to the right.  In the Fsx.cfg you can change that setting to 6.5 but it may cause crashes and this should be your first suspect if and when you get a crash.  I do not use any tweaks in my Fsx.cfg but do set my LOD_Radius to 6.5 and Texture_Max_Load to 2048 (which is HD) (default is 1024).  Only tweaks I implement.  Affinity Mask, Bufferpools, etc., create all kinds of havoc on my system.  You have a very nice system and you should be able to up the LOD_Radius and TML too.

 

I don't use Autogen as I only fly over photoscenery (MSE V2).  Autogen is a FPS killer if set too high (but really only in compilation with other high setting tweaks).

 

Best regards,

Jim

The scenery area you are flying into is leaking memory. This is caused by landclass files.

I am flying an AFCAD enhanced (from AVSIM library) KEWR to default CLE. Default scenery with no photoreal. With mostly default scenery, what would be your recommendation?

 

Also I DID have the "other" UiAutomationCore somehow placed in my FSX.
