FS2024 Taking Down MS Outlook Servers?

Featured Replies

Draw your own conclusions...

My MS Outlook has been struggling this morning also...

https://www.newsweek.com/microsoft-outlook-down-not-working-teams-outage-map-1991303

"Microsoft 365 is reporting outages throughout the country for all of its software suite.

Microsoft 365 Status posted at 7 a.m. that it "identified a recent change which we believe has resulted in impact."

Coincidence?

Then why didn't the outlook servers go down when 2024 released and more than 2 million simultaneous users tried to get in?

The two are totally different. It's not even a coincidence beyond the idea that it's coincidental that I had a taco for lunch and the sun rose today.

Whatever the case, the performance of MS Outlook on my work PC was pathetic all day :dry:

Ah, my Outlook has been slow all morning, I figured it was something on their end.  I don't think MSFS2024 could be the related, because it would have taken it down last week when there was even more '24 traffic.

Oh yeah, I'm sure with Microsoft having hundreds of massive datacenters spread across the entire globe, when one of their many services struggle it's because of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

At the very same time a bag full of rice fell on the floor somewhere in China. Coincidence?

IF MSFS24 could take down Outlook and Teams, I'd give them more money 🙂

It's probably a coincidence, but not only has my Outlook also been very sluggish today FS2024 has been borked as well. Frame rates in the teens and I'm thinking why is my sim running so poorly today? Hope it all straightens out soon...

Me too. The first start of Outlook it says server cannot be reached, then the second start it is okay...

Yes, Outlook is having some difficulties but I am absolutely confident they have nothing to do with 2024 -- really, while it might seem like 2024 is a big deal to us here in the grand picture of data streaming it is pretty irrelevant. 

This morning Microsoft rolled out its Recall AI feature -- the one that takes a picture of your compute screen every so many minutes and stores the photos in the cloud so you can search them later -- and sound speculation is that the degradation of performance is related to this update. A fix is being deployed.

MSFS 2024. Primary Planes: Black Square TBM850, Duke, Baron, Caravan; A2A Comanche; FSReborn Phenom; Fexix A321; PMDG 737-7, 777: Utilities: Active Sky (Passive Mode); BATC, FSLTL.

A fix was deployed but did not alleviate the problem.

400 Million Outlook users, 1 Million MSFS users (maybe, 10,000 concurrent).  Sorry, but MSFS is not relevant to the world of email/outlook.

The only surprise is that it’s a global issue (world wide) … wouldn’t think MS would have a single point of reliance, that’s poor infrastructure design.
