If msfs will not boot up...

Featured Replies

I mentioned this before, this time short and quick

(the problem happened tonight and 2 other times the last month, this cure worked all 3 times).

(If you don't have a steam installation then the \steam folder will have another name, but it will be a subfolder of the official folder in the path below).

MSFS won't boot (CTD)

solutiion: remove (Path)\official\steam\fs-nav-base folder (just the tiny fs-nav-base folder) nothing else

MSFS now boots up fine

EDIT: it will very quickly redownload new fs-nav-base files (they are small files) at 'checking for updates' and then MSFS boots up properly.

Are you certain of that folder name?  In my MS Store installation, in the "official" folder, I have a sub-folder named "fs-base-nav", not fs-nav-base.

Thanks, you are correct, the file in question is fs-base-nav.

I'm not sure why it keeps getting messed up every 10 days or so on my installation. I am booting up MSFS 2 or 3 times daily. So maybe 1 out of 25 times I have to move fs-base-nav out of that subfolder under Official and let MSFS rebuild it at 'checking for updates'. It's not a big deal but puzzles me.
