July 16, 20232 yr Out of nowhere today I suffered a mid-dlight CTD, followed by failures to start MSFS, usually about 80% into the start process when it reaches start of my TDS GTN addin. I tried numerous workarounds over three hours without success. I am now 60% into a complete MSFS reinstall, my first reinstall in about two years. In the meantime I have continued to research, and came up with this. Odd, I recently updated to the latest nVidia game ready driver, 536.40, after MSFS kept exhorting me that my 531.29 was no longer adequate for MSFS. I am running an RTX 3080. Now MSFS is telling us to drop back to that very driver. *&^%*&(^%(&^& https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/known-issue-updated-13th-of-july-crashing-with-nvidia-gpu-drivers-536-40-532-03-531-79-531-68-531-61-531-41/591685 Edited July 16, 20232 yr by fppilot Frank Patton Corsair 5000D Airflow Case; MSI B650 Tomahawk MOB; Ryzen 7 7800 X3D CPU; ASUS RTX 4080 Super; NZXT 360mm liquid cooler; Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 4800 MHz RAM; RMX850X Gold PSU;; ASUS VG289 4K 27" Display; Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo, Crosswind 3's w/dampener.

July 16, 20232 yr The driver nag had an option to no longer bother you about it. I just updated from 522.25 to 531.29 and I don't plan on moving for now as 531.29 are very good.

July 16, 20232 yr I changed to 536.40when they came out June 29. Running an RTX 3060. No problems, unless one counts the occasional white outlines on GTN screens.

July 16, 20232 yr I too upgraded to the latest (per the MSFS prompt to do so). Sorry I did. Now every app on dual screen auto minimizes when I click on another app on the other screen.

July 16, 20232 yr By dumb luck I happen to be using one of the versions recommended in that thread (536.23) and I haven't had any CTD's in a while. None with that driver anyway. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
July 16, 20232 yr I've installed the last couple of latest nvidia drivers and whilst they seem to be ok, I feel that the 531.29 was better for msfs on my rig (specs in signature).

July 16, 20232 yr No problems here. Did a fresh install of Win 11 and MFS 2020 Premium Deluxe and pushed that version of the drivers. RTX 3060 Ti here...

July 16, 20232 yr 3080ti Testing 536.40. No crash in the Hjet yet. But 531.29 seems to be a better driver to me. Maurice J I9 12900k \ EVGA 3080ti \ G-Skill 32GB \ Samsung 4K TV
July 16, 20232 yr I have posted this before, and will do it again. If I have a driver that is working correctly, I don't fix it. I have never installed the latest drivers, and over many years have had Zero driver problems. Edited July 16, 20232 yr by Bobsk8

I'm always surprised at Avsim's uncanny ability to have their games and machine go haywire after a simple driver update. Either it's magic 30-40% performance increases or their sim starts to act out, every single time 😅 [MSI MPG X870E Carbon | 9800X3D (PBO +200Mhz / -20 Offset) | Corsair 64GB DDR5 (Custom Timings) | RTX 4090 Founders Edition (Undervolted) | WD SNX 850X 4TB + 4TB | Antec Flux Pro]

I have never installed the latest drivers, and over many years have had Zero driver problems. The purpose of a new driver isn't just so the graphics card works on a basic level; it's to take advantage and support new features in video games.
