New "Launching Game" screen

[Kassu62 30]

The very basic requirement for a good user experience is to give immediately response for user action. It seems that Asobo doesn't know how to design a good UI.

I have the MS Store Version. After last update I can not start the game as Administrator.

I heard it mentioned by someone else but don't get it so far. Thanks for the hint, I'll investigate what myy block it for me. I use a batch file and the -faststart option to start MSFS, maybe this does suppress it.

Kind regards, Michael

I would think so. Only way to know is turn it off, then back on? Cause you skip all the screens right? Or do you?

I thought this was a joke when I first read it. Got home last night and clicked on my taskbar icon, no slaph screen just the normal 10 seconds of "did I press it?????"

MS version, so why is it not working? Any ideas?

I saw it last night after a Windows 'restart'.  Believe it or not, 'shut down and then start' may not trigger certain parts of updates.

Works for me as of today, both with the FSUIPC .bat file as well as the MSFS shortcut (both with the FastLaunch option).

I launch via an alternate exe file to fast launch and start various other programs I want started together with the sim. It doesnt show me "starting msfs" , just the normal 20 seconds of waiting.

I have just tried starting from both the Task Bar and the 'icon'. In both instances I had the usual wait, so nothing new for me.🙂

Some users report that they did not get the splash screen until after installing a new Windows update that just came out a couple of days ago relating to .Net. I did not see the splash screen on my first few runs of MSFS after SU4, but I did install the .Net update last night, and when I launched the sim, I had the new screen.

Like others, I also find that it is no longer possible to run MSFS as admin, but it works fine when launched as a regular user.

OK thank you Jim, I will update my windows. Thank you.

I might see if I can just update the .net

I never got it until I did a full shutdown and restart of my PC.. Glad it's there though! The simple things

The .Net update was the only pending Windows update when I ran the “check for new updates” function. I wasn’t aware that others have reported that particular update seems to enable the new splash screen until today, but I definitely saw it for the first time last night when running MSFS after doing the update.
