My sim will not start now.....CTD.

My process was to uninstall Scenery, then Content, then Client.  Then new install and registration.  Load up the sim and splash screen opens but then disappears.  I know Lorby had this problem but what is the fix?

You should have uninstalled the four entries...you left part of RTM behind...go back...uninstall all four, what is there...and then run the v5.24 set up program. Then..you will have only v5.24 coding.

I don't own V5 yet. One part of me is telling me to buy it right now and the other part is telling me to wait a day or two after reading those posts. What a struggle!

same for me loss of about 5 - 10 FPS now it`s like with V4.  With the same settings i had without the HF about 15 - 20 fps now i`m not able to get over 10 with the same settings 😞

Well, the good news for now..is that you can go back to the RTM version...and wait for the next HF.  At least that is an option.

Okay, VR is different.  Granted.

Probably wise to wait now

Will I be able to use the RTM (without hotfix) version if I buy it right now?

Impressed so far, runs stable, smooth and I'm able to maintain my locked 30 absolutely everywhere. OrbX SoCal, Lowi, it's all well and smooth. Now I just need Active Sky.

How do you know, sounds like this is the new norm to control all the ctd, limit the sim settings lol, we would be none the wiser if this was the release version

I got an in-sim GSX message that a new update has been detected and to run their Live Updater...just a FYI.

Yes, saying 19 FPS is ok is dumb, but so is catastrophizing with the whole "refund" thing...arrrgh. It's just a word not allowed program update, there will be more, if it doesn't work you can go back to the previous version. Give LM some props here for actually trying to improve our sim, including the VR which is what you want.

What are your P3D settings? do you use Vsync? 4K? what antialiasing? are you using Nvidia inspector? there are many variables at play..

S.

All settings one notch below full. Except:

Water Ultra, Bathymetrie checked.

Reflections: Clouds, User Vehicle, Terrain.

Special effects: Medium

Weather: Volumetric Fog, Windshield effects, Turbukence checked. Enhanced atmospheric checked. Cloud Resolution Ultra. No Godrays.

No dynamic Lighting

Shadow quality Ultra, distance High

All Shadow cast and receive on, except: Simulation Objects Receive only, Particles no cast

 

I'm on 4K, FXAA off, 4xSSAA, Anisotropic 16x, Texture res 4096x4096. 

Vsync off, no triple Buffering, unlimited fps.

FPS are set to half refresh rate in NVIDIA settings for prepar3d.exe.

 

With no fps limitation the initial V5 installation did 35 fps. Now its down to 18/19.

I'm not using NVIDIA Inspector.

Can I install V5 with HF1 and then downgrade if I have problems?
