Buttkicker Causes CTD

Featured Replies

Dear All,

Some of you might have read my posts where I asked for help as I got CTD's when loading up MSFS.  They occurred anywhere from just before the Xbox screen up to just before the text starts after the Blackshark.ai splash screen.

Looking back on when the problems first started, it occurred to me that they started not long after I had installed my Buttkicker.

So I disconnected the USB connection from the amplifier and it's been back to normal since then, i.e., it starts up every time.

May I ask if anyone else has had this situation occur to them and if so, how was this resolved apart from disconnecting the USB connection?

Best regards,

Peter

On or off - it makes no difference.

I had the buttkicker gamer 2 and don't remember used usb cable to connect to my desktop...

What buttkicker you have ?

If you use the 3.5 splitter instead of usb cable, do you have the problem?

I have 3 hooked up with no issues. Try using a different sound card to see if that changes the behavior.  also, my buttkicker's dont use USB how do you have yours hooked up. The only hookup to the computer should just be a mini phono plug that plugs into your sound card.

The USB mentioned by the OP is the sound card. It's a small USB connector that the mini plug inserts into and the other end connects to the buttkicker. I've ran with this setup up for 3 or 4 years. It never interfered with any flight sim or driving sim that I run. 

Individual USB inputs on the computer can cause problems. Have you tried different USB sockets?

Dear All,

I took Jim's advice and tried a different USB socket and this has cured the problem.

Thanks Jim!!!
