Version: 1.4.20.0 (Draft PC)
Frequency: Consistently
Severity: Blocker
Context: Launch MSFS 2024 on PC, choose draft and then CTD
Bug description: When I select ‘Draft packages’ I get a CTD at 46%, After the crash I can select draft packages and then safe mode, the sim loads but when I go in to enable my packages it CTD again, Pre-Release and Retail modes work fine, but I obviously load my draft packages.
Repro steps: Launch MSFS 2024 with PC select Draft content
Hi Boris, I will upload the crash dump ASAP. A little bit of testing last night was to delete the packages in the streamed packages folder as soon as MSFS creates these on sim start which enables the sim to load into the main screen. But then activating the packages causes a CTD, this only happens with two new 2024 packages (products) , I also have two updated products which work fine and can be tested in draft mode (PC and Xbox) This only affects the PC version of the new products as I can test the new products fine on Xbox X.
Hello @RaraAvisSims,
The CTD is caused by the presence of a fully commented-out .cfg file in your package.
We plan to update our tool to handle this case, but I currently have no ETA for when the fix will be deployed.
As a workaround, and also as a best practice in the long term, you should remove fully commented-out files from your package to avoid such issues.
Regards,
Boris
Thanks Boris, I’ll go through the packages and remove the files.
Hello @RaraAvisSims
A fix has been integrated in the last SU3 flighting update (1.5.4)
I don’t know if you have already updated your package on marketplace but please can you let me know if you no longer have the issue ?
Regards,
Boris
Hi Boris,
I am on flighting 1.5.4 and cannot select “draft” packages, only retail or pre-release.
On SU2 I can confirm it’s still crashing on load-in of our packages (inibuilds) as of moments ago.
Have even tried with a fully clean community folder and it CTDs around 48% load in (sim objects)
Attached are some reference images.
