Re: Can "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG" be solved?

It has been troubled for a long time, but there is no official accurate solution. All methods provided on the Internet have been used, but they cannot be solved at all. Don't let P3D crash like a 32-bit FSX that always runs out of memory. This is very sad. Will P3D be eliminated by Microsoft Flight...

Re: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

thanks to everyone trying to help and figuring this out! :-) There is a good chance that your gfx card has an factory overclocking that is to high for a demanding app like P3D. If you can't (or won't) downclock it slightly you can try to alter the TDR setting of Windows. Here you can find infos abo...

Spoileralert: if you drive your car to fast into a corner it will ran out of tarmac and crash.

Same with V5: get your settings accordingly to the capabilities of your hardware and you're safe.

Updatertool for P3D

Hi Guys,

it would be really helpful to have an updater tool for P3D, for us AND for you. This way you could roll out smaller updates faster and we hadn't to download the huge files all over again.

It could also include a "fastlane" option for BETA updates.

... And what about the users with the latest hardware who are still getting the same errors? DEVICE_HUNGS can be caused by many errors, old hardware ist just one. Google it, the range goes from overheating, unstable or to weak PSU's, overclocked hardware ..... you can suffer in MANY apps from it. F...

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 stopped working DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't a relationship between AA and something, what I don't know, causing this error. I'm wondering because I can run the sim on 4xmsaa or 2xssaa. When I change to either 8xmsaa or 4xssaa I immediately get device hung. Texture size doesn't matter as long as I have t...

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 stopped working DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

I totally disagree: It is not up to the user to adapt to the technology in place, If DX12 generates limits, we do not deliver a software that exceeds them even with the most powerful graphic cards of the moment! Than its better for you to get back to 4.5 with DX11 as this is fool proof regarding VR...

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 stopped working DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

If LM can't do anything about it then we might as well wait patiently for FS2020 to arrive. That we (the users) stop writing on this forum that this problem is not related to V5. It happens on high performance configurations, with scenes and planes by default of the V5 ... This problem did not happ...

I wouldn't hold my breath as LM probably can't do much for you here. Which GFX card do you have? Did you try to underclock it?

Re: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 stopped working DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

As i serviced a Flightsim PC some time ago i also had problems with DEVICE_HUNG. It turned out it was an faulty power supply (a cheap one) not bringing enough power. Swaped it out for a new one and the errors were gone. You can use the psu calculator here https://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator to ...

Re: Simulation of volcanic ash and dust storm clouds

Cool idea, but i guess that would be more a thing for the weather engine devs of HiFi or REX :-)
