Hi folks. I have not tried to use MSFS for a while until today. I have downloaded and installed all available updates. I have a Quest 2 so I throught I would play around with using VR (this is NOT a VR thread). Once I got that going I tried to load the very first training exercise. The blue progress bar took almost 15 minutes to get to the end and the training exercise never started.

 

Assuming it had something to do with VR, I shut down all VR stuff, shut down the VR headset, and opened MSFS in regular 2D mode. I went to the same training exercise and I have been waiting for over 15 minutes and the blue progress bar is still not done.

I have the fastest Intel CPU available, a 3090 GPU, 32GB of RAM, water cooling, and all m.2 and SSD disks (6 of them). So I find it hard to believe it would be a computer resource issue.

Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on here?

 

More Info: The progress bar goes really fast about 80% of the way. Then it starts painfully crawling along for a ridiculous amount of time.

Tried a discovery flight and it has the same problem; 80% of the way loading in 10 seconds and then even wen the progress bar finally gets to the end, after like 10-15 minutes, the session never opens.

Even loading just a simple flight won't complete.

Have restarted computer numerous times, didn't help. Don't want to uninstall and reinstall because of losing settings and other things.

I checked the content manager and nothing is missing or in need if an update. I'm desparate here!

 

Thanks,

Rob

Additional Info

It may have something to do with the issues in this thread:Just me - or no photogrammetry data?

 

Maybe try clicking on your gamertag (top right corner) and changing servers to West USA (which has been solid the last 2 days, no slowdowns, no loss of data stream from MS cloud).
