CTD on start up

[goon 1]

Hi Everyone,

I have a CTD on start up  now that I can't track down. The splash screens run, then I get the warning about safe mode, which I select. I  see a view of San Francisco Bay, then the screen with three regions and giraffes,  etc. Just after the halfway point of the progress bar I get dumped to the desktop.

The last things I have done are to install and uninstall NeoFlight and The Skypark. I have uninstalled FSUIPC and reinstalled MSFS via Steam after doing a file integrity check.

Can anyone sugggest what has gone wrong please?

Thanks,

Gareth

In addition to running MSFS in safe mode, disconnect all non essential peripherals to your computer. Just leave your keyboard and mouse as the only peripherals before you start MSFS.  Supposedly, safe mode is supposed to ignore any add-ons in your Community folder, because add-ons from your Community folder are usually the #1 source of CTDs.  If you can run MSFS with just your keyboard and mouse in safe mode, then you can gradually add back your other peripherals until you figure out what the problem is.

+1 for removing all peripherals. I also recommend to update mainboard drivers and BIOS.
Sometimes disabling the XMP profile in BIOS also helps.

This worked for me. Check out more in the CTD forum.

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately none of these tips have worked for me. 

I didn't realise there was a CTD forum so will continue there.

Thanks again,

Gareth

If render scale is not set correctly I’ve found it can give me CTD when using a 1080p HD TV. Couldn’t work it out for ages then set that back to 100 & no more CTD,s. Just a thought or to anyone else who has this setting above 100 and having problems 

good luck👍👍
