August 4, 20187 yr When flying either the 777 or 747 in 8x autocruise, I'm getting regular NTDLL crashes. Here's the general sequence of events: 1. Terrain textures start getting very blurry 2. The plane hits a turning waypoint, so it comes out of 8x and goes back to normal 3. I lose engine sounds, but cockpit ambient sounds like wind still remain. 4. NTDLL crash: Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 4.3.29.25520, time stamp: 0x5b2c3263 Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.17134.165, time stamp: 0xf4df6dc2 Exception code: 0xc0000374 Fault offset: 0x00000000000f4d1b Faulting process id: 0x28a8 Faulting application start time: 0x01d42c010f3ec195 Faulting application path: D:\Prepar3D V4\Prepar3D.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll Report Id: c6376080-ab07-4a35-9d0a-73e497c7c974 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: I disabled my CPU overclock, and my GPU is not overclocked. Any ideas? Alex Pugh

August 5, 20187 yr The ntdll as faulting module is always a hard one to track down. The important thing to know is that this module is at the core of the operating system and it's very rare to find applications interacting at that primitive level so the search begins with drivers and other things that do belong there. I've had issues with remnants of old drivers from NVidia causing problems that could only be solved when all NVidia files and folders are removed, and this must be done in windows safe mode. Using DDU in safe mode is an easy way to accomplish this. I have seen the ntdll pop up when couatl (scripting engine used by FSDT) acts up so make sure all things FSDT are updated. Dan Downs KCRP
