P3D v4 Doesent Start at all

Recommended Posts

I have a similar problem and I have three times completely uninstalled using the P3D Uninstall document and have reinstalled three times and P3D v4 will not even load.

Now I need to explain some background - the first time I installed P3D v4 everything worked perfectly. I used it for a couple days and thought I would like to try adding in one of my favorite 3rd party airports - well that was a dumb thing to do because after that P3D would not load.

Yes I now realize I should not have done that but I figured I would just uninstall and reinstall and all would be good - well three tries later and it just does not load.

The only error message I got during the install can be seen in the attached printscreen link and my response to the error message was the IGNORE button - https://goo.gl/photos/RzxYF7XuSA3cjvE79

Any help would be appreciated.

try deleting the file SceneryStatus.bin from Program Data before initiating P3DV4 forcing a reconstruction of the scenery data base.

If it works youll have to do it each time before running P3DV4

I just discovered my problem and have tested it out four times with the same results...

I normally have MSI Afterburner running which increase ever so slight my GPU Clock Speed.

I closed Afterburner and P3D opened no problem and everytime I turned Afterburner on P3D would not open.

So now I know the problem but now it would be nice to know why and/or if there is a workaround for this as I do like the extra clock speed  -- however, with P3D v4 maybe that is not needed.

There is very little gain from overclocking the GPU. It is also quite possible you have it set to a point where it is not stable. Several things to try - 

set MSIAB to default (no overclock) - does P3D load now? If no - try getting a newer version or reinstalling MSIAB

If P3D does load, then try increasing the gpu clock in small increments until it doesn't work again. Then back down a notch.

Thanks Vic,

I now have P3D loading with MSIAB, it actually was a setting in the associated RTSS (Riva Tuner Statistics Server) that when I unchecked it all was good.

So for me my problem is behind me now - thanks to all.
