Strange behaviour with CTDs

[george7378]

Hi everyone,

Orbiter has been behaving very strangely lately, with the following problems:

- I sometimes load a scenario once and get a CTD, and load it again after restarting Orbiter, and it works fine.
- Vessels (specifically Spacecraft3 ones) will work fine in one scenario and will not load in others.

What could the problem be?

Thanks in advance.

That can occur when one or more buggy add-ons corrupt memory at random. [Depending on what memory is corrupted and when, it may or may not crash.] To troubleshoot it, you can start with a clean Orbiter installation and install your add-ons one-at-a-time and re-test until the crash occurs.

Thanks for the tip - I may just wait for Orbiter 2010.

We're all waiting.

I hear it's getting released next tuesday.

Please be advised, however, that switching to Orbiter 2010 will not fix CTDs caused by buggy add-ons. The only solution is a) for the add-on author to fix the bug(s) in it, or b) to not load the buggy add-on.
