April 28, 20215 yr The CTD threads contain a lot of valuable hints and advices. I thought it might be useful to organize them in a short and simple checklist of sort. Your thoughts will be welcome. Do you see anything else ? ------ When one suffers from a CTD it may come from a bug in the sim but it may very well come from the user sim. Here is a list of things to do : - Check the error message in the Windows Event Log. It is generally unusable to detect the cause but sometimes it does give a clue😁 - Your computer : - Be sure that you do not demand too much from your hardware : MFS is well optimized for lower-end machines but a 10 year-old computer will not cope with all the goodies that it can offer. Photogrammetry, for instance, has been known to CTD the sim on a weak machine. Reduce your settings and check whether the CTD are still plaguing you. - check that you have enough room on your disk - check that an USB or a jack connection is not loose (headset, controllers etc). - Be aware that overclocking your CPU and GPU can be a cause of crash so disable the overclocking to check. Your sim - Empty or disable the Community folder. Chances are that an add-on is non compatible with the last upgrade. - Disable all add-ons which are in the Official folder for the same reason - Flush your rolling cache and manual cache. They may contain a piece of scenery incompatible with the last upgrade.
