FS 2020 suffers a crash following a switch to SSD storage.
Hello everyone, I initially set up FS2020 on a standard HDD by mistake. Because of the extremely slow loading times, I quickly realized this error. In the end, I switched everything to an SSD and the game launches smoothly with much faster starts. However, once it loads into flight mode, it often crashes right away. This issue didn’t occur with the HDD before. The crash timing seems to vary by location—right in the city it happens instantly; in the countryside it takes about 15-20 seconds after launch. I’ve re-downloaded the game several times, suspecting some files might be corrupted during the transfer to the SSD, but that didn’t help. It feels like the problem is related to the SSD or RAM, as it only appeared after the move and my RAM was fully used up. So far, this hasn’t happened with any other games.
System specs:
- i7 6700k overclocked to 4.6GHz
- 16GB DDR4 2400MHz (fully locked at 15.7GB during play)
- RTX 2070 Super
- Samsung 850 Evo 1TB → Samsung Magician confirms the SSD is fine.
