Your graphic device has enc. a problem... Bug or Fixable?

[lehbird 48]

So I have read post that say the error the CTD issue "your graphic device has encountered a problem ..." is a bug and has nothing to do with your graphics card and others which say adjustments to your graphics settings will cure....which is it?

Thanks.

Thanks, did that as well, but no change in result.

This error came up in my sim for the first time today. There are a few posts in the official forums from which I draw the conclusion that it is a bug introduced in SU10. Nothing to do really with your card or driver. 

For me, it came up like a clockwork after a short while approaching and flying around two landmarks buildings on the Lake Como in Italy. Flying the Guimbal Cabri. It looks like a memory leak building up around them.

I have flown before and after in Sardinia, Greece and central Asia without any problem.

Thanks, but this only furthers my point; there is no consistent clarification being offered.

Ok so the consensus is that there is no consensus.  I first got this after loading SU11 for the first time thought that installing the latest nvidia driver had fixed it but it is back!!  Grrr!!

I had this frequently starting at some point during the SU10 beta. I think it was the 2nd update. I couldn't make it go away for a couple of weeks no matter what I did to my settings.

Then, just as quickly as they started, they went away. I haven't seen one in several weeks. No changes on my part.

I'd say just play through it, Bruce. Something will eventually make them go away for you, too.

I think it is a "catch all" error message that hides the actual cause behind a poorly worded, generic message.

That is my exact same experience as well - but nothing lately.

Got one today, leaving Naxos airport in the Cabri. Restarted then flew the nearby island of Paros without any problem.

I think I read that it is the result of some built in internal troubleshooting program that was a little too aggressive.  I had it happen once during SU10 and, after a reboot, never again.

Just as a follow up, I started this post on Sunday morning because I was getting the error REPEATEDLY and virtually could not fly at all. I refused to change / adjust anything sticking to the theory it is a bug. I stopped getting the error Sunday night and haven't received it since.

And I got this message 5 mins ago.. 😞

Now starting up again after having rebooted.

I have the same error since the last update but could reproduce it as followed. Whenever I want to call the external Little Nav Map via ingame Menu (https://flightsim.to/file/43086/little-navmap-vr-panel) MSFS crashes with the error. So far and without the addon i have no crashes. With SU9 the addon worked fine too so i have no clue and disabled it.

I had that happened twice in the last couple of months. Did nothing, just a blip I believe.
