Flight Simulator 2020 Crashes to Desktop

Michael048R · Sep 12, 2020

I have a PC that meets and even exceeds the requirements for running FS2020. The game crashes to the desktop at random times during every flight. I have tried a dozen or more of the so called "fixes" I have found here and other places online. Nothing has
worked. Everything is up to date. I have tried many different configurations in graphics settings. There is no warning or explanation for the crashes. It's usually after wasting an hour or so flying just to have it crash before reaching a final approach. I
have noticed this is a common problem for many people.

What a shame. I waited a long time for this game to come out but I lost $120 on it and will not spend another dime if it's not fixed. I am glad I did not delete X-Plane.

I guess that wasn't a question. The question is "when will this be fixed?"

My Flight Simulator 2020 was crashing non stop during gameplay, it suddenly crashes and closes the game back to the desktop. My computer is an Alienware r3, i7 7700hq, GTX 1070, 16GB RAM. I have tried everything, lowest graphics, all set to minimum, etc,
and it still crashed. So a simple fix SOLVED everything and it never crashed again: SET THE MAXIMUM FPS TO 30. With this configuration it never crashed again, even on ULTRA, it does not crash, and now I am able to play for as long as I want, with no freezing
nor crashing. I hope it helps, because the crashing to desktop is annoying.
