CTD Unable to start sim

Post by tompank16 »

Hi guys,

So I've bene running P3D for a few days now. Bought a tonne of addons such as QW78 & FSL320. I installed yesterday a few addons and now it's impossible for me to get to the scenario scene on startup.

I have tried delete all generated files and it works on initial startup, then when I resync my Orbx Central with the sim, it then CTD's.

Here is the event viewer report

Hello,

Do you only see the crash after installing Orbx? Have you contacted them with this issue as well?

Tompank16,

Is your Windows 10 fully updated? Try to run Windows Update, and when you get to the update screen, go under Advanced options and make sure that the switch "Receive updates for other Microsoft products" is set to On. Leave this switch set to On in the future.

Also, you do not mention your system specifications, especially what graphics card you have. Make sure the graphics drivers are also updated.

If that does not help, you should search the web for something like:

ucrtbase.dll

or

prepar3d ucrtbase.dll

and look through the search results for clues relevant to your particular installation.

Was your sim working before you added any addons ? if so what you should do is add 1 addon at a time if the sim will not start delete the addon you just installed remember sims are built with no addons most people blame the developers of the sim in 99.9% of cases it is the addons that cause the problem not the simulator they have been tested without addons not with new aircraft scenery or any other addons and no I do not work for P3D I am just your average simmer

Yes it happens after I readd Orbx, but it was absolutely fine before. I just decided to reinstall my addons and now the sim won't work

Any help? I've also reinstalled the sim. I'm sure it's something stupid

I'm also unsure how resyncing the sim of addons that worked perfectly fine a day before would change anything?

@ tompank16 ,

The General Debugging (linked below) are an excellent starting point for problem resolution.
