Spotslights DXGI error

[Jason Richardson]

Whenever I install FSpotlights it crashes the sim, but when I uninstall it the plane is fine. Am I missing something?

H

I guess the first thing is to use your real name.

In regard to Spotlights, what is the error you are getting?    

Something like this?

Hey, i had the same issue after updating to the newest NVIDIA Drivers. After rolling back to 376.53 the problem vanished as before...

greetings

[Roar Kverneng]

Same here! I also set power settings in Nvidia settings to "maximum performance". Awaiting new driver from Nvidia.

[Jason Richardson]

Yes that is the error message I'm getting. So the only thing is to roll back the nvidia driver?

[Luciano Iavelli]

Just a waste of time for me, even rolling back the driver to several old versions didn't fix the infamous error Started a couple of weeks ago, never observed before.

Resigned to fly my FSL A320X in daylight (without spotlights the dusk/night default lighting is very weak).

[Jason Richardson]

I really hope that it will be resolved soon. I would like to fly at other times too. 

[John Price]

I am getting this problem too. Any solutions?

[Jason Richardson]

Mr. Blackburn, so how I interpreted your response is that if I don't use my real name support is constricted? I just want to know what's the problem with spotlight and the CTD. Also to answer your question again, that is exactly the error message I'm getting.

 

Kind regards.

See point 1

Re the error, it's an issue with nvidia.  Yes it's highlighted when using spotlights but the issue is with the card driver.   As stated elsewhere, people get that error and don't even have a Flight Simulator installed.

[Jason Richardson]

I'll wait for a driver update. Thank you.

[Katja Mueller]

So, a new Nvidia driver is out (382.53) and the problem still exist. Is there any solution?

[Jason Richardson]

Also downloaded the new driver and still the crash!
