I have a i9 5.Ghz with 32Gb Ram, Windows 10 Pro, Nvidia RTX2080Ti and even when I put the graphics on low as recommended with Nvidia Experience the game crashes with error  Critical Process Died!

I have benched my video card and all Games run perfect and high settings and never crash.

Understanding that this game has to render many objects in any given scene which is understandable however when I cannot run even at a low settings is not exceptable please get me touch of support to get a refund of this game please. I purchased the most expensive opition.

Most disapointed

    Nice that is working for you!

    Looks like MSFS does not like other than default or stock settings for the GPU. Only tweak I have is 100 Mhz more on the mem from 1750 to 1850 Mhz and it seems to be working. Its giving around 30-35 fps on Ultra and 1440p which I am more than happy with.

    Glad to hear your issue was with undervolting your video card has solved the problem. I have only flown MS2020 a couple of hours so far since my tweak. I had the crash problem with even pretty low settings.

    I have a Nvidia Rtx 2070 and overclocked it for Xplane. Since setting it to default.......NO issues and a consistent 60fps at high settings. I also deleted and reinstalled the sim. Not sure if that was necessary.

    I have the exact same issue. I have a Ryzen 7 3700 X (stock), 32 GB RAM, Radeon RX 5700 XT (slightly undervolted). Sometimes I can play for 10 minutes, sometimes 40 minutes then all of a a sudden green screen on the screen with HDMI then PC reboots. I monitor the temps and they are normal, GPU idling at 60-65 C, CPU at 55-60 C.

    No other game or app is doing this. I can play hours of Division 2, F1 2019, Gears 5 and so on. MSFS is the only game that is crashing my PC. I've just spend a lot of money upgrading to this new setup but cannot enjoy the sim cause I know it will crash.

    I've also tried everything from increasing the virtual memory, deleting logitech software, running the GPU at default, disabling v-sync, re-installing the game and so on but nothing seems to work. 

    Is someone at ASOBO or MS reading this? I hope they will so that this issue is getting sorted out!

    So a quick update from my part. The game is not crashing anymore, have been playing for hours and hours the last 2 days.  As mentioned earlier I had a slight undervolt on my Radeon RX 5700 XT and can play all the games I want with no crash what so ever...except MSFS, so I dialed the wattman settings to default and increased the memory to 1850 Mhz and has worked since then no crash what so ever. 

    The strange thing here is that when running undervolted on the GPU I did that because of lower Watts, lower temps but same performance as stock so basiclly the cards runs cooler, but MSFS does not like that for some reason. Luckily wattman has different game profiles that you can apply and its just a push of a button to have the specific settings for MSFS and the undervoltage settings for other games. 

    Hope this helps someone with Radeon 5700 XT cards out there.

    I have a Ryzen 1700 (8 core 16 threads), 32 GB RAM and a RTX 2070.  It crashes the entire PC after variable times, sometimes on launch and sometimes after 20 minutes flying.  The graphics card never even gets hot and the CPU is running 42 to 53 degrees C.  Game is on my 512 GB M2 SSD with 3200 MB/s transfer speed.

    I too tried downgrading the graphics and got to the point it was showing 140 fps.  I disabled and re-enabled g-sync and then upped everything to ultra and it ran at 75 fps (1080p) syncing to my monitor.  Made the game a lot prettier but made no difference to crashing which could happen at any time.

    It is clearly a problem in the software as Death Stranding plays for 10 plus hours at highest graphics setting with real time ray tracing and has never ever given me a problem.

    My new Thrustmaster T.1600 FCS with rudder pedals and my 24"  75 Hz G-SYNC monitor are not getting much use   :-(

    Agree entirely. Fortunately I cancelled my new joystick and I am currently in dispute with MS through the European Union's dispute process to get my money back. 

    Hi using a different account but i posted originally under “floopykins” id like to add that i cleared space on my m.2 ssd (about 19 gb) i then changed my virtual memory back to system managed/manage for all drives and i then changed multiplayer options in game to group only and ive been able to run the game on medium setting and complete a few flight from take off to landing with an occasional crash caused by streaming on discord so everyone with this issue please try this and postnif it worked clearly no one online has figured this out but this could be just for me 

    Funny thing after i figured it out i flew an airbus from seattle to salt lake city with AP engaged but fell asleep 20 mins into the flight (it was 2am so im not suprised) i woke up 3 hours later and was somewhere over utah and calorado so that was pretty funny and no crash!
