Multiple freezes and CTDs after most recent update (2710)

Hello,

After loading the most recent update (2710), I recognized that FS4 behaved very strangely. There were many slowdowns and and sometimes also freezes in the menu. Sometimes the mouse pointer didn't move any more, sometimes the menu froze completely. And when I decided to lower the screen resolution, I got some CTDs as well.

I use a Dell Inspiron 7775 All-in One-System with a Ryzen 7 1700 processor, 16 GB RAM and aRadeon RX 580 with 8 GB RAM. My operating system is Windows 10, build number 19045.3570. The tm. log file is attached.

Thank you very much in advance!

Same here.

I attribue those freezes to the fact that Aerofly downloads streaming data at low speed internet (5 et 7 Mbps).

I don't have the DLCs for HiRes USA images, in streaming it freezes a few seconde and suddenly the scenery is enhanced. I think it streams heavy HiRes data.

No streaming / no freezes.

What I call freezes is closer than a Aerofly simulation suspension than a freeze because it out of capacities.

Please try if the issue is still there if you disable streaming in the networking menu.

Not related to your crashes but on your AMD card please use Vulkan instead of OpenGL inside Aerofly FS for best performance.

The program is definitely more stable when the streaming option is disabled. However, I seem to experience more stuttering than before the update, especially on final approach to a larger airport, it's like a stop-and-go effect.

Thank you for your helpful hints. As far as I can see, my problem is probably Hardware-related. Thanks again.
