August 14, 2025Aug 14 MSFS Forum posts from just last week. Same topic. Same symptoms. No clear resolution but NVIDIA is central to discussion. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/msfs2020-ctd-50-through-load/732222 Also Steam community from the same time. You’re not alone and doing a “repair” probably won’t help. (Whoops, Steam post from 2021, same month and dates. Perhaps its an annual thing? LoL) https://steamcommunity.com/app/1250410/discussions/1/3052863612112739289/ Good luck and keep us in the loop. -B Edited August 14, 2025Aug 14 by btacon

In my 74 years on this pitiful rock, I have come to understand a concept that explains this and many other occurrences: Things work until they don't. Think about it. It eliminates a lot of frustration in life...

This trick works when essentially nothing happens when you hit the 2020 start icon, but who knows maybe it will play a role in your issue.

August 14, 2025Aug 14 Author I have a small update regarding this frustating issue... I deleted the NGX file in the NVIDA file, and now i can start the sim in safe mode, but not in normal mode... Any ideas why? Im getting crazy about this...😥
August 14, 2025Aug 14 Author Back to disaster... Only worked once, since NVIDA creates a new NGX file... Dont know what to do? Is the only solution to reinstall the whole sim from scratch? And what about if that does not help either? I cant for the world figure out what could have happened during the night... Perfect yesterday, today only crasch! 😥😭

August 14, 2025Aug 14 A repair worked for me when this happened a couple of years ago and I didn't lose any of my addons. Always worth making sure your windows is up to date and reinstalling your audio and video drivers. I am assuming that your internet connection is all working properly.

Since NVIDIA drivers seem central to the problem here is a proposed solution. DDU for a clean and complete uninstall of current drivers and replaced with one of the KNOWN and stable driver sets out there, 566.36 DDU https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/ Nvidia 566.36 https://www.guru3d.com/download/geforce-56636-whql-driver-download/ Good luck and Blue Skies, -B BTW I just went through this whole exercise yesterday when I foolishly upgraded to the latest Game Ready driver of Aug 11. Total disappointment as it almost immediately failed with the “device failed” error message and full app stop that has plagued NVIDIA drivers as of late. I am well pleased with the 566.36 set now.

August 14, 2025Aug 14 Just try the repair option, it usually does nothing to your settings or sim files. i have done this numerous times, different story when you click reset PC: Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 Super Aorus Master, DDR5 G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 2X32 GB, Corsair HX 1000, Fractal Torrent, Samsung LC32 / G7 1440P.
August 14, 2025Aug 14 Author Nothing helps... I am totalt lost! This is unbelievable! Cant for the world understand this...😥 This is beyond me. Totally beyond.
