FSX Steam Edition Crashing Instantly after launch.

Featured Replies

hello all, I deleted FSX to do a fresh start a week ago. (I also had ENB Series installed on it) this one: https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=193817&CatID=fsxmisc I did a fresh start. I did again install FSX with much less add-ons and I got ENB Series again. this time the game goes to the splash screen (with the orange sky and blue ocean saying Flight Simulator X Steam Edition) it stays like this for 5 seconds and immediately crashes with no error, it just won't launch. I got rid of both d3d9.dll and enbseries.ini (I forgot I think it's dll or ini) nothing else, it just generates on it's own. I did reinstall the game twice also checking game file verification on steam. no difference. I had a few add-ons already I installed at the time and I'll list it here: PMDG 737-800, Aerosoft A318-A321 Just Flight DC-10 HD, Qualitywings 757, Flytampa TNCM, Flytampa KMDV, Captainsim 707 and REX 4. I did also get TreeX and GEX Autogen world textures. (freeware) I have no idea what is causing it to crash, another thing, there is no Flight Simulator X Files in documents, nor fsx.cfg is there. (I think something to do when installed, it does it on it's own) even only with base game (no add-ons) issue still persists. thanks

Some thoughts:

1) Have you tried running FSX:SE as an Admin?  Find fsx.exe and right-click on it and select Run as Administrator.

2) Have you tried reinstalling it with no other add-ons?  I am a little unclear as you listed add-ons you use with FSX:SE.

3) Is Steam installed in a Program Files folder?  If so, can you relocate it?  Windows' Program Files play havoc with FSX:SE.

4) By "reinstall" did you follow the procedures as outlined by Dovetail Games?

Lockheed L-1011-1:  I had the very same thing happen to me. I was playing FSX-SE in the morning, went to use it three hours later and it crashed at banner screen.

I had checked file integrity on Steam and all was ok. No clue...

The only thing I had done was update the Nvidia driver on my gpu. Rolled it back to the previous version, now FSX works fine..

Not sure if it applicable in your case, but I throw that out that just in case... Good Luck....tp
