Micosoft flights simulator keeps crashing

erik phan · Oct 7, 2022

I load into the game. I go to free-fly. I load into free-fly. I see the airport. Everything seems to be normal but when I press the yellow button ready for flight the game crashes. I either get no error or I get the error Memory could not be read.

I bought the game on Microsoft store.

I have tried reinstalling the game. I have tuned down my graphics to see if that was a problem and it is normal for the game to search for updates everytime i load into Microsoft flight simulator?

The game has worked in the past.

Here are my pc specs if those are relevant.

Kingston Fury Beast ddr4 32GB ram

Intel I7 12-700

Aorous Xtreme Rtx 3080

MSI B660 tomahawk wifi.

I Play on PC

If you don't mind, please share an screenshot of the specific memory error

Sounds to me like your GPU may have some issues. You should call their support and see what they say.

I see, without an error code is hard to tell you what's going on....

So, just to confirm. Now the game crashes unexpectedly?

If yes, let's try something different :

A. Do a clean boot in your PC and try again

B. Create a new local administrator user in your PC and try from there

I could not get a screenshot of the memory error. I did a memory diagnostics it seems to have solved the memory could not be read error. It seems that my game just closes with no error. I sometimes get Graphics card driver errors but I have done a clean install of the drivers.
