Do you all also have a 50/50 % chance of a Project either loading or a PC freeze, or a CTD when trying to load it?

This happens a lot to me and really slows down on completing projects. When i go to load a project through the SDK developer options menu [once i have chosen the flight and airport] and clicked ‘Ready to Fly’, either my PC freezes and i have to reboot it, or there is a CTD. [this happens when it tries to load the Inspector and Project window.

I have to literally try again and at the 2nd or 3rd try, randomly it may load my whole project so i can load the bgl ’ Load in Editor’ and work on my airport.

This always happens with any project i create ,its not specific to the one i am working on now.

Any way of preventing this ? Is this something others deal with ?

  • PC out of memory? Possibly watching task manager gives a hint on what is going on, running out of memory seems plausible but the PC freeze suggests perhaps something deeper.
  • Check for updated drivers (especially but not limited to GPU drivers)
  • Overclocking the CPU?

What do you see in Event Viewer when you get the CTD?

i get a similar issue as well. if i load one project up in the editor, test it, make some changes outside the sim in Visual studio, and try to reload it (not sync and rebuild. simply reopening the project ive already opened and asking it to just build it again), it crashes my game. no error message no nothing.

Where can i excess the event viewer ? Ive heard of this to analyze CTD’s but havent actually used it.

it’s a Windows utility, comes with all Windows installations. Just type “event viewer” and it will run for you.

So it seems that when i have a CTD while using the SDK, it seems to be related to : selfserviceplugin.exe and coreclr.dll
The selfservice plugin seems to be a part of the Citric Workspace suite [ which i have installed on this PC to remote login to my work server. I will delete Citrix and see if it helps.

Not sure what thie coreclr.dll is all about. But thanks for pointing me to Eventviewer at least so i can analyze the CTD’s.

If it’s an error caused by Flight Simulator, it would appear under the Application tab in Event Viewer, not under Administrative Events.

Look there instead.

I don’t see anything in the Application tab. Unfortunately, my project freezes 5 minutes into opening it in the SDK. Sometimes a CTD or sometimes my PC reboots. I cant get any work done on completing my project because of this. Extremely frustrating. I have the latest SDK update installed too and SU15. community Folder is empty too.

You mention Visual Studio - is your add-on using a WASM module?

Would you be able to provide us with a minimal repro sample that crashes that often on your machine?

Best regards,

many apologies for the late reply, was very sickly this past week. but yes it does have a wasm module.

13

Do you get a Coherent.dll related crash in Event Viewer then? (when it crashes with no warning).

14

i never went that far with it after i reported it. since nobody really responded i chalked it up to me being me lol. i can double back to take a look when i get a chance.

15

just had it happen to me randomly (first time this morning). no loggs in event viewer (nothing in application tabs at the time of it happening). (so when making changes via Visual Studio and saving, then rebuilding the project can lead to a crash in developer mode with or without a wasm module)

16

ran into this a few times this morning (seems to not always crash when making changes via Visual Studio and then reloading the project while in the world). this time i tracked down the error stuff
