Hi guys,

 

since this is my first topic in this forum i'd would to present myself:

 

My name is Kevin Kergen, and i'm from Luxembourg, Europe

 

I'm flying MSFS since the age of 6 or 7.

 

Actually i've got a huge problem with FSX.

 

I had my FSX installed with a lot of addons (lots of aerosoft scenerys, Orbx Global, REX Ess.+, Opus Weather, PMDG NGX, QW Bae164 etc...) but always when i opened something in the Menu (airport, weather etc) FS made a CTD. When i did not touch the menu, FSX was just working fine with FPS up 20-30.

Yesterday I was so annoyed of this problem that i decided to reinstall whole FSX.

So i deleted all addons with the deinstall programm, then FSX, then all files of FSX i could find on D:\progam files x86\microsoft\fsx an on C:....

Afterwards i made a whole Registry Clean up an Reinstalled FSX + Acceleration. 

So i had a clean FSX Installation and had updated all my Hardware Drivers. But when running on DX9 i got FPS 70-80 an running just fine until i touch the menu,, then direct CDT.

So i choose DX10 Preview and the CDT Problem was gone.

Then i installed the Basic Addons: ORBX Global, REX Ess. +, Fs Global Ultimate and Opus FSX and DX10 Scenery Fixer. Nothing else.

So Test Flight by day with the Trike in ELLX by day an fair weather DX10

Everything ok, Frames 40-60 but after 4-5 minutes i got graphic blurs etc... but no CDT!

When i turn on real weather with Opus FSX, the Frames were still 40-60 when i look at the ground, but they drop to 10-15 when looking at the sky (was pretty cloudy this day) but no CDT, the graphic blurs appear after 1-2 mins.

When i get back to DX9 then i have no more Graphic Blurs and a constand FPS of 40, no matter if looking at the ground or the cloudy sky. But the old problem remains, if i touch the menu, i get instantly a CDT.

 

So now i really don't know what to do,,,,

I did a lot of google search an the famous uiautomationcore.dll is not the problem. When a CDT in DX9 appears, the log says the problem is the ATIUMDAG.DLL, so something seems to be wrong with the Graphics Drives but it's up to date....

 

So Guys as you see i don't really know what to do next and it would be great if someone could help me

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Here are my System Specs:

.

Mainboard: MSI Z77a-G43 Chipset Z77

CPU Intel Core I5 3570 3.4GhZ Overclocked to 4.2 GhZ

GPU: ATI Radeon HD7800 

4 GB Ram DDR3 1600

Win 7 Pro Edtition 64 Bit

 

 

 

 

When a CDT in DX9 appears, the log says the problem is the ATIUMDAG.DLL, so something seems to be wrong with the Graphics Drives but it's up to date....

 

This is a known problem with the latest ATI driver.  See this recent post here in the CTD Forum - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/423624-amd-139-tutorial-get-fsx-working-again/.  There are posts about this problem in the DX10 Forum too.

 

Graphic blurs are common in FSX and mostly caused by one or more of your fsx settings set too high.  Your graphics card is struggling to render the texture in time.  This is even if you have high fps as fsx is more dependent on the CPU than the GPU.  Maybe limiting your fps might help but then you'll probably run into more problems.

 

Hope this helps.  Welcome to the AVSIM Forums!

 

Best regards,

Jim

Hi and thanks for the really quick answer.

I did solve the Problem today. It was acutally pretty easy, i downloaded a atiumdag.dll from here :http://de.originaldll.com/file/atiumdag.dll/8933.html and just copied it to the FSX Main Folder.

The DX9 CDT Problem seems to be solved after 10 mins of testing. Under DX10 i still get Graphic Blurs, but at least i can fly now under DX9

Thanks for posting your solution.  It should help others.  Not sure why you are getting graphic blurring with DX10.  There should be absolutely no difference between DX9 and DX10 graphics except that DX10 manages memory and graphics a little bit better.  But DX10 Preview was one of the unfinished projects left by Microsoft.  Steve's DX10 Fixer is trying to repair some of those issues but it's difficult.  Let's hope that DX11 with P3D will work better.

 

Best regards,

Jim
