I can't start msfs

Featured Replies

Hi,

The sim is not starting. It stops just between the final (new) seconds counting and the "explosive" black screen. Then, if I run control + Alt + Supr, and the Task Manager opens, without doing nothing, it continues with the startup process, but generally stops again to halfway down the bottom bar.

I restored two or three times the application, and then it goes well for a while, but after a flight or two it happens again.

I don't know what to do.

Anyone has had the same problem?

Thank you in advance.

Everyone once in a while (maybe 5%) my launch will do the same.   Sometimes I can just restart it, other times a reboot is demanded.  I know it does not like Process Lasso, and so if PL is running it will not start.

Good Luck!

Noel

After the last update yesterday, I had a CTD when starting MSFS ( first in well over a year or more) , restarted MSFS, and then another CTD when loading in at the airport. I then restarted the PC, and so far everything is OK. I usually restart PC after any update, but I forgot about it this morning.

Hi,

Yes. Me too!

I remember that yesterday I had a CTD! 

I haven't had one for ages. But I forgot and didn't relate the CTD to this problem.

Now I have my community folder empty and msfs is starting, but the progress is very very very slow.

It's not normal.

Perhaps a Windows problem. I don't know.

Thank you.

 

 

Any of you in the Beta?

I think I'm solved the issue.

I deleted everything in the Community folder and I restored the settings in Nvidia Control Panel.

Things are back to normal, or so I think. But I'm not sure what caused the issue.

Thank you for your support.

Hi,

Welcome to my city!

Prepare yourselves for a hot weather.

Greetings.

I have this problem on a regular basis. It started suddenly a few months ago. Before  then it was very reliable. 

It takes me over 10 attempts and even with nothing in the Community folder. 

Then it's fine for a little while and then something triggers it and it goes back to not wanting to run.

So I don't know how to fix this.

Hi, Peter,

Things are going well, at the moment, except for some random stutters that I didn't have before.

Maybe I have to tweak some Nvidia settings... I don't know.

MSFS configuration is really a very complicated matter!

Regards.

It is not, John. It works nicely just out of the box even with a pitiful combo like mine. Just don’t tweak anything 😁 ! MSFS is a relief after years, what do I say years ? rather decades, of tweaking. I have yet to open the Nvidia panel ! A couple of sliders to move to adapt to the flight parameters of the day (mostly traffic and LoD).

Hi Peter

At what stage does it freeze out on you ? If the internet flow is very slow, the sim can take minutes to start the flight in game. It eventually does but there is a tiresome wait.

quite  a few  addons  require fsuipc7,   if  your  had  issues  with it  you need  to update  to  the  latest  version  which  should  fix  the  ctds  etc
