RANT!

It's therapeutic...I'm exorcising my FSX gremlins by posting this thread......................It's either that or kick the dog...rant...mumble...mumble rant

[Roger]

That was a pretty good rant; I'm actually quite jealous.
I believe ctds are often caused by video card/driver issues so maybe try a new set of drivers?

[kilo delta]

Thanks Roger..tried new drivers..but alas it still CTD's after ~5 mins. Mind you, those 5 minutes are spectacular...even if I do say so myself.:d I've been dragged away from the offending pc for a period of several hours (maybe days) by my wife who overheard my tourettes-esque outburst of profanity that would even have caused Beelzebub himself to wince! Weird this as there were absolutely no system configuration changes from when it last ran.
I'm settling the remains of my shattered nerves with a few :icon29::icon29::guinness::guinness::guinness::gui nness::guinness:

Soooooo what your saying is........ RANT!!!!!....???

:ernae::ernae::ernae:

[txnetcop]

KD I can't count the times over the last 10 years that for no reason I can think of I suddenly lose various flight sims or battle games. At Christmas time my favorite Medal of Honor Airborne quit working even after reloading...I found out later it was my firewall. Last spring I lost my FALCON v4 and it took me weeks to figure out why and I do this stuff for living! Ya shoulda seen my RANT to some folks that had nothing to do with my problem! LOL

[Roadburner440]

I know I get mad whenever I want to fly my Concorde, and spend all the time going through the checklist only to have FSX crash on me at sometime throughout the flight. Rant rant rant rant rant!! Still love the bird tho.

[kilo delta]

Cheers,guys. I'm going give FSX a miss for a few days until my blood pressure has returned to normal levels. :) Still can't understand what caused the problem. I removed the case fans a couple of days ago to clean the dust filters and definitely didn't disturb anything...my bet is it's a software issue. If it were only one faulting dll file I could easily fix this problem, but the ctd's are the result of multiple dll's some named, and some unknowns.
I picked up a Corsair H50 kit today too so I'll remove the Tuniq Tower air cooler and give liquid cooling another try. Temps are fine...but the H50 might allow me to push the chip a little further.


/rant :d


PS. :guinness: was the cure last night........now I need a cure for :guinness:..... hmmmm.... :icon29: ?:monkies:

[Roger]

Good luck fixing it and your wife is probably right, a day or two ignoring the "beast" is probably just what you need.

Cheers Roger..and you're completely right....although my wife won't appreciate you calling her a Beast!


LOL

A Black and Tan is how I'm interpreting this....that'll work on your BP just fine, too.

Em...Black and Tan's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_Tans) were never too popular in this part of the world!!!!!! ;) :d

[b52bob]

We all have good rants...I was going to start a thread asking how long it took to boot FSX, Mine was 4 minutes until the computer crashed....rant rant rant FORMAT C:/ rant rant three days to load everything in....rant rant rant "why are you spending so much damn time on that computer"....rant rant rant.....can't get some programs to work....rant rant rant..... still working on it...."get off that computer, supper's ready" rant rant rant.

The good thing? FSX now only requires less that a minute to boot up. LOL LOL LOL

[Bjoern]

I think I'm in the same boat as KD. Was on my way hauling parcels across the States, just safely on my cruise alt and - bam - error. Event log says it was terrain.dll so I guess it's a bad AFX file (converted from a FS9 scenery).

Will investigate and, if necessary, rant on.

[harleyman]

I would agree.

yank the vid card...replace with any older , looser one you have and see if the RANTING is over...

[kilo delta]

Tried different cards..no change. CTD after around 5 minutes. Unfortunately it's not one individual faulting dll...anything from sim1.dll to terrain.dll to d3d.dll etc etc. I uninstalled the latest Java and reverted to an older version, but still get regular java.dll errors (NB: Java doesn't cause a CTD,though)
I also wound back some of the settings to see if that would help matters.....no change.


Just realised that I bought DCS:Black Shark recently but haven't installed it yet. This may be the perfect opportunity. :)

[Gdavis101]

I will see your RANT with a Rant Rant of my own.. I feel your pain! :salute:

[Bjoern]

With regard to my previous post here, I've deactivated the suspects and re-did the flight. No errors, nothing. [Sigh of relief]

[kilo delta]

Good to hear,Bjoern. I'm still avoiding my PC...we've had a falling out. :d
