Mandatory update keeps restating - I can't play at all!

[Cgaming365 0]

I recently lauched Msfs2020 after 1 week away, but this time the download kept restarting. It got to 100%, and the hoppped back to 0 or somthing like 19 percent. I've tried restarting my computer, and sm multiple time.

 

Something strange is that every time I launch msfs, the update size is different. A place between 51mb and 26gb. The other text says that the mandatory update is only 817,35KiB tho, so I'm lost!

Here's an example: 20210913090401_1 by Cgaming365, on Flickr

 

I'm basically locked out of the game. Can someone help me?

 

Thanks in advance,

Did you ever figure this out? For WU6, it's refusing to download fs-base-soundbanks-0.1.41.fspatch; deleting the file and having it restart doesn't help.

Another bad bug, of course.

For me the ONLY solution that fixed downloads that kept restarting was to install Netlimiter https://www.netlimiter.com/ and limit d/l speed for MSFS to 40Mbit/sec. I have a 100Mb internet connection.

Interestingly, for SU6 I was able to install it without limiting d/l speed, but for me it's the first update that has not required the limit.

The download/install servers seem to be fixed now.
