Before SU13 (and coincidentally rex accusim advanced) I had a rock solid sim with no crashes pretty much ever, now I am getting a crash on every flight I have tried with the fenix A320.  It has happened right at the start of the flight while panning in the cockpit, and twice 10 minutes after takeoff in VR, and again 3 hours into a flight after switching back into VR.  Any advice would be a big help.  Right under the MSFS crash in event viewer there is always a .NET runtime error with flightsimulator.exe also listed as the faulting module.

This is not going to help much, but it at least supplies information that might be useful. Prior to SU12, I rarely had CTDs, but since then they have been frequent -- all being of the "graphics error-must-be-something-wrong-with-your-graphics-card" variety. Changing Nvidia drivers (old/new) made no difference, nor did anything else. From my experience and that of a number of others, we concluded that SU12 was to blame. I pinned my hopes on SU13 to fix the problem, which it has not. Yesterday I had two "graphics-error" CTDs, both happening when I called up the logbook -- bizarre! Two more today -- both during flight after about 10 minutes of flying.

Something that was introduced by SU12, and perpetuated with SU13, has made MSFS 2020 unstable for me. I haven't a clue what it is, except it is NOT the graphics driver, my rig, or my settings -- I have been down those paths ad nauseum. Possibly if enough of us collect enough info we can zero in on what the real problem might be. Let's hope so -- or wait for SU14?

OK, I am having to eat crow, big-time. I found the solution to the problem -- at least for me --, and it is not Asobo's fault after all. A suggestion in a post a while back, which I ignored for a long time, turned out to be the answer: in Windows 10 (and maybe W11 too), go into Settings -> Apps -> Startup, and set most apps to NOT start up automatically when Windows opens. (Most of mine had been set to open automatically, unbeknownst to me). Result: no more "graphics error" CTDs whatosever. Very few add-on programs, aside from those having to do with security and antivirus protection, need to open when Windows opens. Lesson learned.

That worked for me some time ago and still does.  I was going to experiment with a normal startup again but it seems I should keep current settings.

I have CTD with Fenix occasionally before or after SU13

It may not be the root cause, but I found if I set MSFS aviation traffic to anything other than Off I get CTD's.  I had read others had that issue as well.  For me no aircraft traffic = no CTD.  With traffic, often CTDs.  I do not use any addon traffic.  Again. It may not be the root cause, but stops them.

I use AI traffic and don't have CTD's but I'm using FSLTL.

Thinking about going back to PSXT though, today at LTAI I had traffic landing on opposite runways simultaneously, a real mess. That never happens with PSXT. Didn't want to pay to have AI traffic so I cancelled it, but I guess I have no other option. 😒

Simmers, non of that is the cause of crashes after SU13!  It is an ASOBO issue with the scenery rendering, something to do with that and their servers!!   I have issue a ticket to see if they fix that asap.  Who knows how long is going to take.   It is not your equipment nor settings, I have tried everything!!  After hitting FLY it crashes for me about 99% of the time!!!  and if it loads, it will crash during the flight, which means that I have not been able to fly for a while now.  I am really frustrated with this issue which seems that it has been going on for a while now.  Tried everything and nothing.

I have a similar problem.  It'll crash upon loading to the main screen, or less often, while loading a flight.  Last night it took two or three attempts to load into KLAS.  It seems to be random, but I am able to fly more often than not and it never crashes "in flight", only while loading.
