March 9, 20224 yr Good day all, I am very new to MSFS and find myself struggling with a number of issues. The most annoying one at the moment is that every time I launch the game through Steam I have to wait sometimes up to 5 minutes while it (re)installs the latest 117 GB update. May I ask if this is normal? If not, please can I have advice as to how to correct the fault? Thank you.

March 9, 20224 yr If you have installed & use Advanced SystemCare, uninstall it. That fixed the 'Update repetition cycle for me. Other posts on that in the Forums T45

I thought that you knew that you had to reinstall MSFS ever time you played it. ns AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER

It probably does not reinstall 117 GB in 5 minutes, but there may be something that went wrong with the initial install. Do you have more than one hard disk? Where is your MSFS install? What is the exact message you are getting when you start MSFS? Where is this "117GB install" done, which path? Can you look at your MSFS folder and find the UserCfg.opt file, open it and scroll to the bottom to see the path where your packages are installed? Is that path the one indicated on your start download MSFS screen? If different, then make sure to rectify this install path in your download screen and everything should fall in line.

The typical net increase is more like 3-4 GB, since most update files replace old ones.
