    Variations on this type of hangs etc. have been around in one form or another since day one. I believe that they will always be with us 'in one form or another' until the end of time. Which, the way t

Is this MS Store only or Steam as well?

Now it seems to be working normally again (Italy)

This is getting stupid now, server issues have been at their worst this year since release. Used to be once in a while, now it's easily every month and the time between is getting shorter.

Yea, I had the same issue but eventually it got passed the screen but then said bandwidth was too low to stream photogrammetry; all seems ok now however.

And, yea, the last 6 months has seen its share of connectivity issues.

Launching MSFS seems to be a bit of a lottery. You hit that button and hope it will let you play.

It's rapidly becoming Network Issue Simulator.

Has anyone been able to launch the sim or use it?  MS are still reporting issues but to a subset of users.  I assume we are all a part of that subset as they are not specific.

Cant use it here at the moment, but as I'm in Bristol as well you probably knew that already!   

 

From Azure:

"Current Status: An unexpected usage spike resulted in Azure Front Door (AFD) components performing below acceptable thresholds, leading to intermittent errors, timeout, and latency spikes. We have implemented network configuration changes and have performed failovers to provide alternate network paths for relief. Our monitoring telemetry shows improvement in service availability from approximately 14:10 UTC onwards, but we are investigating reports of specific services and regions that are still experiencing intermittent errors. We will provide an update on our continued mitigation efforts by 18:00 UTC, or sooner if we have progress to share."

 

 

For me MSFS takes a long time to start up and then suddenly crashes. Tried 4 times and crashes 4 times after long loading time. Anybody else experiencing crashes as well?
