Internet down, unable to launch?

Featured Replies

So my home internet is down today. Out of curiosity, I decided to see if MSFS would at least launch. Sadly it prompts to insert the game disk. I know a few people have reported this as a bug, but is it really? Or do we truly have to have an internet connection to run or at least launch the sim?

Most games are like this. Nothing new here. I remember the uproar when GTA5 introduced online saves.

Wow. Gotta say that really sucks. Thankfully internet outages are a once every couple of years thing around here. But for those that struggle with connection quality, I definitely have a little more empathy for you.
