@fs1ar,

It looks like you had a debugger attached when launching the build - were you trying to debug some WASM module or doing something else?

As a reminder, you can allow a debugger to be attached with the -AllowDebugger switch when launching the sim EXE.
https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/6_Programming_APIs/WASM/VS_WASM_Debugger_Extension.htm

As in MSFS 2020, encrypted content won’t be mounted into the VFS when the switch is used.

Best regards,

Eric / Asobo

@EPellissier thanks.

I attached the debugger just to generate the dump and I did this with the -AllowDebugger flag, that is the only purpose as I as not able to generate a dump file with the task manager as the CTD happens too quickly when the window opens. With the debugger it broke on the offset above Fault offset: 0x0000000003453a8b and could save the dump to file.

Regardless of this, the CTD happens consistently on that same offset without a debugger on every load, consistently:

Faulting application name: FlightSimulator2024.exe, version: 1.0.77.0
Fault offset: 0x0000000003453a8b

Thanks

@fs1ar,

Your crash dump seems to show that a debugger was attached while -AllowDebugger was not specified - this is what caused the crash.

You do not need to attach a debugger to have a crash dump created.
Please follow the steps highlighted here: How to report a bug or crash

More precisely the relevant part is here: Collecting User-Mode Dumps - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn

Please let us know if you need help setting this up properly.

Best regards,

@EPellissier Here is the dump with no debugger attached (generated with task manager). Same CTD: MS Store click Play, MSFS is launched (splash screen), main window opens and CTD. Thanks

Hi @EPellissier

Just updated the sim and same CTD.

Repro: MS Store click Play, MSFS is launched (splash screen), main window opens and CTD

Hi @EPellissier do you have any update on this? The CTD happens always and I can’t start the sim in any way.

Thanks,
Federico

8

Did you try using devmode launcher ?

9

Yes, tried that and same CTD, at same offset. Thanks for the help!

Hi @fs1ar,

Unfortunately all the dump files you provided lead to the same issue that the sim thinks you have a debugger attached while the -AllowDebugger option has not been set.
I have forwarded your dumps to the Security Team for review but I haven’t heard from them yet.

Best regards,

Eric / Asobo

@EPellissier thanks. I am not attaching a debugger. I even launched the sim from the devmode sample. Thanks, Federico
