ALT-ENTER GPU crashes ( windowed to Fullscreen mode)

[planechaser 46]

Hello,

Just upgraded to a 4090 and GPU working amazing (with frame generation and TAA)

However, i am starting to experience "Your graphics driver has encountered a problem and MS will exit."

After some investigating, it seems when i switch from Windowed to Fullscreen mode (using ALT-ENTER), i get this error.

Tried to downgrade to the 527.xx driver from December and seems to be happening a lot less( the same driver i was using with my 3080TI) 

The latest driver), can barely load the game without the crash.

I am using GeForce Experience overlay, but never had an issue with my 3080TI i was using just a few weeks ago.

I am not on the SU12 beta - still running the last stable version.
Running DX12 with a complete vanilla Install ( no addons in Community folder) 

Tried some different settings in NV control panel ( e.g. Vsync, power management, low latency) but does not seem to have any effect.

Anybody experiencing the same issue with the 528x drivers or maybe there is a setting that i am missing?

 

Thank you

I'm having the exact same issue... I also have everything up to date and running a 4090

Same here, 3080Ti.  I get this just occasionally and at random. It has been triggered by an alt-enter sometimes, but I also had it once when just downloading updates in the marketplace! 

I try to just use the windows key now or alt-tab instead.

W11, DX11, 4k ultra, DLSS quality setting, GPU barely at 50% utilisation, temps about 65C. 

Needs solving or at least tracing to a specific cause.  I used alt-enter for 18 months no problem, with my old 1080Ti and then my 3080Ti, then this started happening about last September.

I just received my new rig yesterday. But i didn't yet experience any CTD. BUT i observed something like a change in refreshrate of the glasscockpit after hitting ALT/ENTER and back. First fluid and after alt/ent it looked like the refresh rate was cut in half. hitting alt/enter again it was back to normal.

Unusual!  There is definitely something funky going on that never used to happen.

Like I say, it started about late September / early October last year for me (and others it seems). 

I don't get it too much though - maybe only about eight times in total up to now, and GPU wasn't getting hammered at all.  Like I say, one of them was in the marketplace.

Wondering if anybody is using the GeForce Experience Game Filters.

Seems to be an issue with them. First tried removing GFE , started up the game and no crashes whatsoever. ALT-ENTER many times and rock solid stable.

Then re-installed GFE  , re-enabled the filters and crash  

1. ALT -ENTER
2. Changing game options in General settings
 

However , turning the filters off before exiting the game , then starting up again . crash seems to be gone. Only re-enabling the filters when everything had loaded ( you are in the cockpit ready to go ). ALT-ENTER many times and no crash. Changed settings , no crash either.

So far so good.

I was getting crashes with the graphics card error. Reverted back to the previous nvidia driver and so far so good.

Also having this issue - sometimes it's OK but other times, it completely crashes

I had this happen to me once. When it did happen I did not wait for the sim to load all the way to the MSFS menu, ever since then, as long as I wait til the menu loads before I press ALT + ENT, it works fine.
