Aharon 465 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Shalom and greetings all my pals, After few months of smooth flying, FSX has now refuses to open by saying the error message as seen below: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: fsx.exe Application Version: 10.0.61472.0 Application Timestamp: 475e17d3 Fault Module Name: d3d11.dll Fault Module Version: 6.2.9200.16570 Fault Module Timestamp: 5153774d Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00010860 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID: 1033 So I researched on the internet for solution to the d3dll.dll error problem. The common answer is to remove Windows Update KB2670838 but I do not have that in laptop and looking at past update history in windows 7 shows no evidence of installation of Windows Update KB2670838. I used FSX's automatic repair method to repair FSX but that did not produce any positive results. Anybody got an idea? Thanks, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Almaraz 81 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi Aharon, Sometimes this d3d11.dll crash are related to that update that you are saying, but also can be related to ENB or SweetFX, have you installed this mods? If so, uninstall and check if the errors persist. Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aharon 465 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hello Walter, Unfortunately I do not use ENB or SweetFX. Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetCord 1539 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Have you recently installed any freeware addons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just new version 3.12 of Jahn C-47 but it is not cause of the problem. Have been using it for 2 weeks without problem. Problem started yesterday. I think my heavily used 4 year old laptop is dying. I am afraid I would need to buy new laptop but I do NOT NOT want Windows 10 because everybody say FSX never never works with Windows 10!!

DetCord 1539 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 That DLL is a RTM/RTE associated error. Are you running in DX10 or 9? Open Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, View installed updates, and type the KB into the search bar just to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I have no idea but all I know is that I set my FSX to disable DX9 or DX10 preview 4 years ago Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetCord 1539 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 You have no idea? DX10 is either enabled in the graphics settings menu or it isn't. If it's not, then its running with the DX9 RTE and that update (KB2670838) isn't applicable. You might be better off simply uninstalling FSX completely and starting over. Before that however, I'd remove the last three addons you installed. There are too many issues with the vast majority of freeware out there. Primarily because a lot of them were developed for FS9 and ported over to FSX, hence the multitude of sim and system compatibility issues. I'm guessing one of these may have caused this problem.

It is by far (with margin) the best of for your simulator. We keep statistics on how often the sim crashes and FSX on win10 is simply more stable. Probably due to the better memory management of win10 and the lower memory overhead of the win10/64 OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathijs, Thanks for telling me GREAT news!!! Glad to hear that!!!! Whew!!! Detcord, I think it is that it is software or file problem or Windows problem meaning it is hard for me to fix. Something in Windows 7 Pro is screwed up which prevents me from using FSX. Problem is do not know how to fix hence my inclination to buy new laptop although I do not want to abandon my four year old laptop although old but STILL powerful and fast as you can see from my thousands of screenshots that I post on many aviation forums including Aerosoft forum!! Hope my next plan is to uninstall SP1 and SP2. Then use FSX's automatic repair DVD to repair FSX. Then reinstall SP1 and SP2 but I have feeling it will not help. Just saw a new Alienware laptop with 16GB, 1 TB 7,200 rpm, 550 GB SSD, and 2 GB dedicated video ram for 1,499 bucks but I do not think Aerosoft airport sceneries will be happy with 2 GB dedicated video ram and I want to use Anchorage X scenery that I bought 2 years ago but was afraid to install. Also I want to buy Fairbanks X scenery too!!! So I think I need 3 GB or 4 GB dedicated video ram for my next planned new laptop!

Walter Almaraz 81 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Buying a new laptop is not the solution, however install FSX and Windows 7 (all from scratch) could be the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I dumped 10 and went back to 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Almaraz 81 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Actually I'm using Win 10, it's good but sometimes I feel Win 7 much better for FSX or P3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted September 5, 2016 Aerosoft Share Posted September 5, 2016 And why do you feel that? For sure management of VAS is better in Win10 and in our tests it is also (slightly) faster. In these aspects it is the same as Win8.1 (though we do not advise that one).

Walter Almaraz 81 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Maybe it's related to my hardware, is a Core I5 4460 3.2 Ghz with GTX 970, in Win 7 I noticed a little bit less CPU usage. But with Win 10 I have more stability and the VAS management wich is very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
