fsx api.dll erreur since 2 -3 month

Hi stephane,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

It looks like you're encountering an error related to the fsx.exe application, which is Microsoft Flight Simulator X, and the API.DLL module. The error code you provided (0xc0000005) indicates an access violation, which means the application attempted to access memory in an unauthorized way.



Here's a breakdown of the information you provided:



- Application Name: fsx.exe

- Application Version: 10.0.61637.0

- Faulting Module: API.DLL

- Module Version: 10.0.61637.0

- Exception Code: 0xc0000005 (access violation)

- Faulting Process ID: 0x2050

- Application Start Time: 0x01d9d4dbbff69f29

- Application Path: F:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe

- Faulting Module Path: F:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\API.DLL



This error seems to be happening consistently and might be causing issues with the Microsoft Flight Simulator X program. To troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue, you could consider the following steps:

1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause compatibility issues with applications.

2. Check for Updates: Check if there are any updates or patches available for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Sometimes, developers release updates to address known issues.

3. Run as Administrator: Try running Microsoft Flight Simulator X as an administrator. Right-click on the fsx.exe executable, then choose "Run as administrator."

4. Compatibility Mode: You also can try running the application in compatibility mode for a previous version of Windows. Right-click on fsx.exe, select "Properties," go to the "Compatibility" tab, and choose a different Windows version.

5. Verify Game Files: If the application has a built-in verification tool, use it to check the integrity of the game files. Corrupted files can lead to crashes.



6. Check for Third-Party Add-ons: If you're using any third-party add-ons or mods, they might be causing conflicts. Try disabling them temporarily and see if the issue persists.

7. System File Checker: Run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair corrupted system files that might be affecting the application. Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files - Microsoft Support

8. Essayez de supprimer ou de renommer le fichier fsx.cfg et de le laisser se régénérer au prochain démarrage de FSX.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you might consider reaching out to Microsoft Flight Simulator X support forums [Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums] for further assistance, especially if this problem has been occurring for a few months.

I hope this helps. If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.



Your Sincerely

Have you tried to repair game files through the Steam app?

Please, try repairing the game files:

Restart your computer and launch Steam

Next, you can either right-click the game in your Library, or click the gear icon from the game's Library page on the far right

From the drop-down menu, select Properties.

Select the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files. button

Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes

Disable any overlay app you may have running as well.

And run the executable file as a Windows Administrator.

Hi

Thank you for your assistance

I did a Verify files through steam account in early December but that has not help.

The CTD doesn't happen all the time. I deleted my fsx se cfg file and started fsx se to build a new one to see if it was a corrupt cfg file but that hasn't worked.

I never had the issue when I wasrunning windows 7

Cheers

Rhys

Hi Rodrigo

Thank you for your reply ran, scannow with the following results

Windows PowerShell

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> sfc /scannow

Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

So nothing there
