Bring on 2024!

Seriously? The server load will be even further increased, so if they are not able to handle MSFS2020 atm, I doubt they could handle the MSFS2024 load... Besides this, one could even make a CT out of it and blame MS/Asobo to purposedly hamper the MSFS2020 experience to make more people buying MSFS2024. But luckily, we are little bit too far away from the release date of MSFS2024 for this theory to have any sense 😉

Hi there

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8 Core CPU (4.2GHz Base Up to 5GHz Boost),

My pc is tailored for MSFS2020 by a highly rated UK custom gaming builder.

Andy - just came across this ... just in case ... looks like AMD has had similar issues with some of its 7000 series chips, including the x3d kind that you own:

The news article is from April last year. The issue was with motherboard BIOS settings, specifically ASUS motherboards if I remember correctly. The AMD CPUs themselves were not the issue, as far as I remember.

Intel is blaming the MB manufacturers, too: they might be right 🙂  problem is ... by the time the motherboard gets an update with new "safe" settings, it might already have fried the CPU badly enough to make it degrade with time 😕

Now you'll understand why some of us aren't so excited about the upcoming Avsim 2.0. Same IT department, same problems. /s

Thank you for that.

Actually I Googled AMD after I replied to your post, and saw the same article. I was a bit worried until I noticed it was dated a year before I got my pc....Well I hope it was fixed before then🙂

Thank you for taking time to check.

It has been fixed. Please see my earlier post in this thread about the matter. ASUS motherboards have had BIOS updates that have resolved the problem.

I made my 7800X3D build in May 2023 and it was already fixed by the latest BIOS of that time.

I got regular CTD's after installing SU15.

What I had forgotten was that I'd also updated Adrenalin which resets my custom fan settings on the GPU. It was only when I played another game and got a CTD that I realised I had a hardware issue, and remembered the driver update.

In other words, running another high-performance game or a benchmark will eliminate hardware before starting the MSFS troubleshooting guide.

 

Well THIS doesn't look TOO bad?

🤔

After actually downloading about 100MB it loaded fine and I had ONE yes 1 MB USA update to download and the Vegas extra. Haven't flown for a week but it looks fine from my end.

Well in my case I have no choice but to reinstall if I want to keep using the sim I just want to get the best procedure to do this sorted out.

Did reinstalling restore your Premium Deluxe? I also have P D, and despite Premium Upgrade and Deluxe Upgrade both showing in Content Manager as being Installed and Up To Date, they are not in the Sim. My Library only shows the Standard version as installed, but not the Bundle.

I submitted a ticket to Zendesk, who replied with a list of instructions, including entering data script in the Command Prompt. I followed the instructions, but to no avail.

The "install packages path" indicated in the image doesn't look right. Check the actual MSFS packages directory. 

Mine is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages

You can put the packages stuff anywhere you like. Don't have my simpc on to be specific but seem to remember there's a line at the end of the "usercfg.opt" file you can use

Thanks for tip but it's good I created a separate partition entirely for all my simming and EVERYTHING goes in there...except those that refuse to lol.
