That's rather difficult to do without knowing the hardware and settings of the affected people.   This thread is now 5 pages in, and, forgive me if I missed it, but I haven't seen any of that crucial information here. 

The best place to put your system specs is in your sig as both of us have done. Thereafter specific info about P3D can be shown in screenshots.

The best place to report problems is in the LM P3D forum of course. AvSim is fine for discussion but LM staff don’t read these pages although beta testers do.

Marcus - messing around with 5.2 more and I think there are 2 big issues but maybe they are interconnected? The known HTML5 issue with the text causing the screen to go black and freeze up. but the other issue which I have seen some report is when right clicking to change views. Once you select a new view, the screen goes black for time before the new view loads. Again, not sure if they are one in the same or two separate issues but both are very bad. 

Hi!

Yes, I think so indeed. I´ve tested today. There is improvement already (good improvement) but I´m not 100% satisfied yet.

Thanks for reporting this! Have you reported this at LM Public space (it´s very important)?

In summary what fixed it for me was. 

A. Fresh reinstall from scratch.  Absolute scratch, wiped the system/reinstalled windows/P3dv5.2 from scratch. 

B. Studio Drivers not regular drivers 

C. I used Dirks Ncp settings 

D. I used balthazars P3dv5 settings. 

Where can I find C. and D.? 

Are they in this thread?

Thanks.

PS: Dirk, balthazar - who are all these people?

To echo what coastal driver said. 

Yesterday, I removed my 'latest driver' and also put on a Studio Driver, 457.30 which I used before on 5.1. Ive also renamed the html file. I can also report no black screens, no freezing, no ctd. I did 2 flights yesterday in the new FSL 320 for 5.2 and they both went without issue,apart from Gsx. 

The gsx issue where the text box at top of the screen is overlapping the frame rates. Also when you call up gsx on the taxi in it pauses for about 5 to 10 seconds, and puts 111111111111111 on the screen. 

Other than that no issues. Flawless. 

In summary what fixed it for me was.....

A. Fresh reinstall from scratch.  Absolute scratch, wiped the system/reinstalled windows/P3dv5.2 from scratch.

B. Studio Drivers not regular drivers 

C. I used Dirks Ncp settings 

D. I used balthazars P3dv5 settings.

Does this mean that v5.2 is now free of "half baked, unfinished work"?

Hopefully soon on this HF? The GSX menu is completely jacked up and the old 5.1 hack of changing the missionpanel.cfg to scaleform no longer works. GSX is now utterly useless.

Just shows how weird and unpredictable computers are.

I have none of these issues. Sure GSX menu looks different but it still works . The text on the screen makes absolutely no difference (apart from the fact that it is ugly).

Stutters on loading big scenery still there but micro stutters seem to have gone.

How the hell are LM supposed to know what to do with SimBol and Marcus out of action?

😉 Ask them! And we still have a few others and of course @Rob_Ainscough who does a lot too! 

But....I´m back in since today and have tested the HF. Overall it´s really good performing. Details will post on LM private forums....We still have NDA!

Reinstalled windows? Overkill of the highest order. Never mind LM have acknowledged the bug. Also,  you don't have a "flawless" instlall as the menu  which shows gsx is not working.

mpo901 and B777ER. I had that issue and instability. I did a complete fresh reinstallation (done properly nothing is lost or needed reloading [addons etc] including deleting the shader file) I then rolled back the driver on my NVIDIA card to an earlier Studio Version (462.,59) instead of the Game driver. 

The program is now operating exactly as it did without any CTD or view change issues either before I upgraded to the new NVIDIA driver after I first installed 5.2 . I also ensured that the mouse configuration and settings were MS default (I did have them altered to suit my taste) and I used the NVIDIA control panel to check and reset things as well.  It is stable and smooth and now issues at all that I have yet discovered. I have to say with my RTX2070 Super card that I find the Studio Driver not the Gaming driver gives much better results and stability for some reason. I do suspect the NVIDIA drivers because now and then I was also seeing the same behaviour when running some media files on the PC that is screen blips and hangs. I can offer nothing definite but to say this all worked for my system (Intel I7 and NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super on WIN10). 

 

Do you run in fullscreen or windowed? The text freeze issues occur when I run in fullscreen.

Post #12 linked below. Can you highlight in the beta forum for LM to see?

http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=142630

 

@coastaldriver @fluffyflops so the Saudia studio driver, what's it do that the game driver does not? I normally install just the game driver itself and none of the other stuff it comes with like the sound component  or GeForce Experience. Can you do that with the studio driver or doses it install a bunch of other stuff?

Edited June 16, 20214 yr by B777ER

B777ER - I always start in windowed mode and switch later to full screen but it is not uncommon for me to switch back and forth between windowed and full screen several times, especially lately doing some installations and model testing ( I am testing for a developer as well as doing my own). No issues now at all, before the driver roll back it was guaranteed to CTD or just hang. As I said since the fresh install and driver rollback and change I have had no problems with the program at all! FSL spotlights was the first culprit but I disabled that, then the drivers and WIN10 cumulative updated busted it. I took the view that when you get this level of instability that it is always better to do a fresh installation and work from that but doing rollbacks before I reactivate.

LM P3D does have a problem now and then with muti-cores and threading in that data strings can become isolated on shutdown and remain in volatile memory and will run again when reactivated either that or the program is not writing back correctly because of this on close and therefore if there is an older file or isolated data string it will use that and not have updated a config file. I know they say it does not but it does and the proof I have is with the addon xml method and the new addons not being written to the config file until I do a complete PC shutdown, clear the memory completely and then restart.

with so many posts, I seem to have lost track...especially with this advice

"I've also renamed the html file. "

 

Does that mean tthe HTML5 folder in P3D? If not, what does it mean, and what is the suggested action. Thanks...
