Anyone have a clue what's going on? are you at your real scheduled download time or did you just change your settings on your computer? I would say just wait until the actual release time. i9 11900K @ 5.3 RTX 3070TI 8GB 32 GB RAM @ 4200 GHZ 1 TB SSD 1080p G-Sync 27" Monitor
August 17, 20205 yr Although there is no way to know this, I think it's dangerous to alter you settings to get the sim early and then ignore that fact when something goes wrong. Again. I'm not saying this is the case. But if it is. It is UNFAIR to microsoft to omit that information in a bug report [XP11 BETA/FS2020 BETA] [Pilotedge BETA/Vatsim BETA]
August 17, 20205 yr You dont have to send a bug report... Just get the friggin xbox gamepass like the rest of us and use the standard untill your digital ownership is ready. Andreas Stangenes http://www.youtube.com/user/krsans78 Add me on gamertag: Bullhorns78

It is UNFAIR to microsoft to omit that information in a bug report I agree...who knows what will happen when you alter your region to download the game early. When you bought the game, it is tied to your region settings so somewhere that clock is stored in the 1GB you downloaded.

When you downloaded the 1gb installer for the preorder, I am sure it saved your region/time somewhere in there because when you click on the icon it tells you you have to wait a bit. So with that info stored in the installer, changing your region and then trying to install may cause several issues. I hate waiting too my friend but its better to just stick to it 🙂 i9 11900K @ 5.3 RTX 3070TI 8GB 32 GB RAM @ 4200 GHZ 1 TB SSD 1080p G-Sync 27" Monitor
August 17, 20205 yr The only thing you really risk is the frowns of the nda police I think. If MS really wanted to go heavy metal on this, they wouldn't have made it possible to just simply changing your region on your pc. You don't even need a VPN. And you aren't stealing anything, you have, in fact, paid for the darned thing. Just my 2c. Andreas Stangenes http://www.youtube.com/user/krsans78 Add me on gamertag: Bullhorns78

My disc #1 had a nasty scratch, would take several retries to install... We've come a long way. 1:30h to go!

August 17, 20205 yr So did this insert disc thing go away after the game was officially unlocked in your time zone? Some people reported that the problem went away for some New Zealanders after the game was officially unlocked for New Zealand. Can anybody verify this?

Just that it’s likely against the Ts&Cs and you may run into problems by doing it.
August 17, 20205 yr People waited this long and now they are hacking their system settings to get it one day sooner. Surprisingly when it goes awry they now come here claiming it doesn't work. Imagine that..... Eric

It will be available in my timezone in 10min, I'll report back. Shouldn't take too long to download on my link, hopefully the premium stuff will be enabled. ---- Edit: yup it works Edited August 17, 20205 yr by FlyingRoo i5-4670k @ 4.2GHz | RTX 2080 | XB32HK 4k@60Hz G-Sync | P3D V5
