Agree 100%. Only positive today regarding MSFS2024. She is easy on the eyes. 

My god would you people stop it. So inappropriate

Yeah, not quite - could care less about you or your comments - they took the $$ and they should deliver.

Ya, quite.. you could care less but responded 🙂. If you post nonsense like "sure they are drinking and laughing bla bla" then don't be surprised if called out.

You're are very wrong. You can tell just from watching the video that things haven't gone as planned.

mea culpa mea culpa.  Not wrong.

Sorry, but MS had no issue taking my money.  A lot of sites, people want to put these developers on pedestals and treat them as special.  It is a business, for profit and demand should have been NO SURPRISE and there should have been plans in place.

Except this could lead to a lawsuit. They would never do it on purpose.

I'm not putting anyone on a pedestal, I'm just not acting like a butt and claiming they're partying.

They just underestimated how many people would be trying to use the sim.

Malicious / on purpose?  No.

Incompetent or unconcerned?  Yes.

Love to find an ambulance chaser to take MS on.   Class action and we could all receive $1 for our grief.

Nope. Did you even watching the video?

These people are not actors, the looks on their faces tell you everything. They can't fake that.

Goodbye, and goodnight.

Good night as well. 

Don't agree, don't necessarily think they are "faking", but didn't really hear anything other than what we already knew.  I also did not sense a real urgency, just an attempted explanation.  I don't idolize the developers and to me they are MS, but to me this is as much about the MS machine as anything.  In selling they barked like a big dog, and they should deliver.

So now we can’t comment on females who look nice because you are having a meltdown? Get a grip.

Yes, they should. And they clearly erred in their estimation of launch day demand - that was their mistake. Now that we have that opening stipulation of fault out of the way... what now? Keep pinning them to the wall and shouting at them for it?

I have no doubt there's probably a bunch of backend engineers at Asobo and Microsoft working some overtime shifts as we speak, doing what they can as fast as they can to mitigate the problems. They're also doing what they can to keep us informed.

I suspect 24 hours from now 95% of the current issues will be resolved from a combination of work on their part, and a dispersion of server load as people are no longer all choking the servers at the exact same time. It would be better if it had never happened at all, but I don't really have any doubt that they're working to 'deliver' what we paid for.

Perhaps I'm just more zen about this because I've been through years and years of game launches with mandatory online components that promptly melted down on launch day, and took 24-48 hours to get under control. This is by no means rare.

No, because it's 2024 

(and I mean the year, not the Sim!)

Not my problem. That’s on the snowflakes.

Of course it is incompetence if a multibillion-dollar company like Microsoft fails to estimate the initial load of such a product correctly. What else should it be? I mean, they purposedly 

- released it globally at the exact same time

- did not provide any preload beforehand

- skipped any meaningful public or closed beta

- ran a server stress test with 200k simultaneous access attempts although they sold 15 million (?) copies of the old sim. 

Taken together, it is PLAIN incompetence. Taking bad decisions although data and information to do it better is available is also called incompetence...

Good, honest statements...These sorts of things happen, look at cars...Take years of development and as soon as you release it to the public loads of issues pop up.

 

I feel what is happening was only to be expected, maybe Microsoft were caught off-guard at just how popular launch day was going to be. I would say a large amount of users were logging in who would normally (should have been lol) in bed.

 

It can only improve...

Sebastian said they simulated 200,000 concurrent requests. against that server. Did it not occur to anyone to check what the concurrent demand was at 2020 launch? Even if they didn't have exact figures then at least they might have been in the right ballpark.

It's a monumentally atrocious release day whichever way you look at it, they underestimated by a long long way and clearly should've staggered the release - which is something they would've known prior, really is no defending them, they screwed up big time. 

Still, it should get better over the next few days then we'll see the real MSFS24, just a shame they're off to such a poor start.
