that needs to be a sticky. I remember when the last patch that came out at the start of the summer there was topic after topic of unpc saveyt guys having issues, i remember that poor 83 year old that was being run ragged.

that needs to be stickied definitely to help people

I don't understand all this.. You guys did a full re-install or what? All my sceneries are still there and working fine as well as all of my aircraft.

What am I not getting?

I just installed the content update and I continue to receive CTD if I choose any Plane different from my current default flight:#Faulting application name:

Prepar3D.exe, version: 4.1.7.22841, time stamp: 0x59d67e95
Faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll, version: 10.0.14393.1770, time stamp: 0x59bf2b6f

It doesn't matter what plane, even the default planes.

If we reinstall content does that mean we have to re-install all of our addons too??

Ooppps.. Wrong topic

I did have CTD when loading my A2A planes or PMDG ones. Then updated to content and now I can load them. BUT from the initial menu. If I load them once the sim has started in the upper menu, then P3D hangs and I have to quit it.

[CFIJose 5,485]

I will need to do a full reinstall. I'm going to wait until all my addons are updated.

I tried to take the shortcut that ORBX recommends to save time, but it did not work. Loading times were way off, ezdok was out of wack, and my default airport had texture bleed.

Thankfully I have a full image.

Does anyone know if we should expect a formal statement-update from PMDG or A2A or we can go on and install them? ;/

Update,

Anyone having this problem deleting the file Prepar3D.cfg under c:\users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 solves the problem.

I get very confused sometimes.  On the site it says just Client is needed:

"The Client installer is required for Prepar3D v4.1, however the Content, Scenery, and SDK installers are optional. You must first have Prepar3D v4 installed to utilize the Client only installer. To install the Prepar3D v4.1 Client, you must first uninstall the Prepar3D v4.0 Client via Programs and Features in Windows Control Panel. The Prepar3D v4.1 Client update will require you to reactivate your product, however if you have an internet connection it will be automatic."

I think I'm going to hold off until the dust settles on all this haha.

Make sure for just the update to put the files cont1."cab,cont2.cab,and Install_Content.msi "in the same folder.. then download the "Install_Content.msi" I hope, i helped you...
