I caused my own DXGI device hung issues. Then, I fixed it.

Featured Replies

I've read several threads about this lately. I've seen it a coupe of times in the past, but then I had a long period of not seeing them at all. The other day, I decided to tweak the shadow settings. I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything else, but I may have fat fingered something. I tried to start a flight out of KMIA and ended up with the DXGI hung error. I thought it was a fluke, so I tried it again. Same thing within about 4 minutes of starting the flight while still C&D at the gate. I threw in the towel. I tried the same flight tonight, and got the same thing. I checked Windows Update, and found that I had just received 2 updates in prep for 2004. I uninstalled both. Tried to fly again, and got the same crash again. The little light bulb went off and I remembered changing the Prepar3D.cfg file. I remaned it and let P3Dv5 build a new one. I'm at cruising altitude now.

So.... A corrupted Prepar3D.cfg (or a bad entry within) CAN cause this error.

Most useful.  Thanks.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

in my case deleting shaders also fixed this error,

I was able to complete the flight, so the DXGI hangs were absolutely caused by something in the Prepar3D.cfg file.

I saved the old copy, so I might play around with it later on to see if I can determine which exact line is causing the problem.

Use unlimited fps in p3d with nvidia limiter set to 30fps cause this error with gtx1080Ti

limited to 60 in p3d and 30 with nvidia is good

i set unlimited in P3D with refresh rate in NCP to 30hz.  All good.

I set P3D to 80 and RTSS to 1/2 VSync (30) a while back and all has been well, so far.

Yes i think the best thing is not use unlimited 

You can use unlimited, but limit it with vsync.

At least that works for me and for @micstatic

Just blanket saying "don't use Unlimited" makes it look like that is the problem.  It's not.  The seeming or possible issue of runaway frames inducing a CTD on a 1080ti would be if you truly ran unlimited.  We're not doing that.  We are limiting with vsync.

The only issue I still currently have is with A2A's windshield.dll.   It seems to hard lock the machine when it's raining.  I'm presently working with them to see what is going on.

agree @Mace.  Are you running vsync on in NCP and the sim?  I'm trying to figure out if since I don't use max frame rate in NCP rather just refresh rate to 30hz if I even need vsync on or not.  Thanks sir

I use unlimited + vsync on in the sim.  

I don't touch the vsync stuff in the NCP.  I figure something that important (to smoothness) needs to be done in the sim, although I have not experimented with vsync off in the sim and on in NCP.   I haven't even looked that closely at the vsync options in the NCP.  I assume it's set to "application controlled" or whatever it is set to by default when you install a new nvidia driver with the clean install option.

do you do TB in the sim?  Since V4 I've basically gone to a stock NCP profile also.  Yes the default vsync for NCP is application controlled.  I've honestly even tried running with vsync off in NCP and the sim and didn't notice much difference.  All still feels smooth.  But like the rest of us, I'm always trying to learn from others.

Yes I use TB via the in-sim checkbox

I'm using pretty much stock NCP settings, except I do use "Prefer Max Performance" on the power setting.  I used to use "Clamp" for Negative LOD Bias, but I still haven't determined if that is useful with v5.
