I also got a new computer (Windows 11)

orbiter_ng.exe is intended to only show a command line (server mode; ng = no graphics). If you want graphics in it, install the D3D9 client or an other graphics client. Or use orbiter.exe.

Im having the same problem; what is the best way to troubleshoot this?

 

[twa517]

I downloaded the D3D9 client and O Srv boots up. When I select a scenario, it starts to load and then crashed without any warning.

Orbiter.log?

Make sure to enable D3D9Client in the Orbiter NG's Modules tab.


It's recommended to read the docs (<OrbiterRootPath>\Doc\D3D9Client.pdf) for troubleshooting.

You also need to install the DirectX June 2010 runtimes if it still does not show up or shows missing .dll errors (as stated in the official download page and in the docs, in the "DirectX Runtimes" section)
