My last CTD was a year ago after I installed a new airport. Resetting the cache fixed that one.

Hm, I’m not so sure. This evening I lit eight candles before starting the sim. So far so good, I’m still flying after 20 minutes.

I mean, there has to be a connection. We’re in august, right?

No CTD's here for today either, yesterday was much much worse.

In my humble opinion, this whole windows update thing was a mock discussion.

So, what's the status of these CTDs at the moment? Are people still getting them? The activity in the official forum thread seems to have gone down considerably since yesterday. Is it solved? And what was the solution? 

[Watsi 2,574]

Didn't try it yet. But many report that CTDs are gone.

And the statement by the community manager(s) that Asobo was "fairly certain" that the cause was missing Windows updates (I forget the exact words)... how do we interpret that? A smokescreen?

My Windows 11 was up to date during the two days of CTDs, so I'm a bit doubtful about what he says. However, I'll not delve too deeply - the sim is running nicely now, and that's all that concerned me.

Whatever the reason, it seems to have resolved itself. 99% of users have not updated anything so, it was a server issue. 

Let's now get back to flying.

The fact that the sim is working is absolutely the most important thing. I was curious as I've participated in another thread on the official forum re: "memory could not be read" CTDs. The post was started in April, has 1300+ posts, and there is no solution in sight.

Yes the CTDs are gone. We can fly with no problem now. they advise updating windows (a patch of windows defender has been released) and restarting the computer.

My Windows 10 was updated, I think I updated it last Friday and my CTD problem began after that, but seems to be back to normal now.

Yes.  I really don't understand it.  I checked, and my PC has not done a windows update since the 9th of August (the W11 cumulative update). 
I checked for updates manually yesterday and no more updates are available.

But after suffering multiple and regular CTD's recently (memory couldn't be read, and ntl issue when it actually shows in event viewer), I flew all of yesterday evening without a problem, and I stressed the PC and sim as much as I could (I even turned photogrammetry back on).

The main flight was about 90 minutes in the V35.  I flew from Half Moon Bay, all around San Francisco sight-seeing, the down to Monterey, zig-zagging to do a bit of sight-seeing along the way - no problem at all, and super smooth and fluid.  Over 3 hours flight time in total in and out of the main menu - different aircraft and locations - all good.

I think either the servers have reset or fixed themselves, or they have done something else at their end.  The windows update thing makes no sense to me at all.

By the way, San Francisco is almost a waste of time without photogrammetry (that is why I turned it on - rare for me), but the Sutro Tower radio mast was displaying as a really tall plain sky scraper without the photogrammetry turned on.

I spent a few flights in the modded 152 exploring San Fransisco and the surrounding area during the weekend. It looks awesome but the CTDs were rampant during that time hence had to restart all the time. Last evening (CET) I managed to get a decent ~2 hr flight in the analog Caravan around the PNW area and everthing was just working. I really tried to push the sim to its limits to the point I had to turn on the airconditioning lol. When the sim works it's just... perfect. Let's hope it stays like that.
