Once of a sudden, starting just an hour ago, I am being presented with a startup splash screen for FS2020 again. I am running on the latest patch, 1.25.9, and after installing this patch a few days ago all was "normal". Till a little earlier today when this splash screen showed up, telling me that I am signing in and that FS2020 is launching. Am I the only one running into this undocumented feature I wonder?

Getting that too... for the first time just now. I kinda like it.

Better than the long awkward silence and ‘did I click properly on that icon... better click again’-thoughts 😉

I had it yesterday - and today it's disappeared along with the program not launching.

I got that yesterday and today, small Black splash screen and then it says it is starting the Game. 

I was a bit surprised that this screen wasn't mentioned anywhere in the release notes of the latest patch. Or did Microsoft "sneak" it in just like that? No matter what, as long it works, it works 🙂 Thanks for responding all.

It is linked to an updated version of the gaming services. Hopefully this time it will stay for good 

Yup... I about fell out of my chair when it popped up almost immediately after executing the program (at first, I thought I clicked the wrong icon).  Maybe they didn't include it in the notes because they're a little embarrassed that it took nearly 2 years to finally implement a proper splash screen 😄.  But seriously, the sim is finally starting to look a little more polished... they still have a ways to go; but the progress is becoming a more and more evident with each update.
