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.

    Guys, its obvious now that our issues hahs nothing to do with how powerful our PC’s are. My PC regularly gets 144 to 175 FPS and is always very stable when playing a variety of other games and sims that are known to challenge even the best systems.  

    I have an 38” ultra wide 3840 X 1600 IPS display with 144 Hz (175 Hz overclocked) and 1ms response time. 

    My PC has: 

    RTX 2080ti Ultra Gaming Hybrid Water Cooled GPU

    1 TB NVME M.2 SSD 

    500 GB SATA SSD 

    i9 8600K CPU 

    16 GB DDR4 3600 RAM

    I have no issues playing other very system intensive games and sims with all max graphics settings and I usually get 144 to 175 FPS. 

    With MSFS, the sim regulary freezes and then crashes my entire PC and when the sim does actual run for short time without freezing and crashing, I’m averaging 15 to 30 FPS, but its rare that i can fly for more than 10 minutes without it freezing and crashing my PC. Then it takes 10 minutes by the time my PC reboots and I can get all the way back onto a flight. 

    Same here. Something is surely wrong with MSFS. I'm waiting for Microsoft to take action.

    Just curious guys, do you all have good internet access? I wanted to rule that out as an issue too.

    Btw Mandouh, your workflow is exactly what was happening to me. Would work for 10 mins maybe, then crash; most times just crash :).  Tried the repair, worked for a bit, but then no dice.  The load time is nuts too, GTA V doesn’t even take that long.

    well everyone is going to be waiting a long time , the first patch notes only show two fixes for CTD, which are plugging in a peripheral and some stupid add-on.

    OMG, I guess add me to the list!  I can't believe this is happening to my PC, I just spent $2000 on a REALLY high end computer for work (I use civil engineering software), it has latest i7 CPU, 64GB RAM, 5GB nVidia card, 500GB SSD drive........HOW MUCH MORE DO I NEED!  The only thing I can think of is that my internet is only 12 mbs as I live rural, but even so, Microsoft can't figure out how to work around this?  I'm at my wits end, I sometimes get it to work, and sometimes it doesn’t.  Hoping someone at Microsoft is listening and patches this $70 piece of software up.  C'mon Microsoft!
