All good up here in Scandinavia

MSFS2020 seems to be working fine in the UK this morning, though I think the "checking for updates" screen was taking a bit longer than usual at start up.  Other than that, full functionality appears to have resumed following yesterdays debacle (not for the first time).  MS have really got to get their act together in respect of the server issues that have been plagueing both sims over the past month or two.

I finally got it to work last night, but as you observed, the checking for updates screen which used to take about 2 seconds at most now takes over 10 seconds. They have done something with the 2020 servers which started this whole debacle,the question is why?

9 hour flight in pmdg 777= CTD on decent

11 hour flight in 777= CTD on decent

 

CTD in fenix a320

 

CTD in pmdg 737 and 738

 

CTD in default aircraft.

Never happened before. All since micro update. I think I'm done for a bit, lol

Very mixed reports this morning.  Some are reporting it is still broken with CTD's. others are saying it's fine.

Either way if I had to guess MS screwed up a change window somewhere that had a domino effect based on how this started for everyone simultaneously.  

Silence from them on the official forums though. 

Had planned on a flight today but I doubt it based on the reports.  

Just did CPH-LHR in the Fenix A320SL - no problems at all. I shall now pour myself an espresso shot, load up MSFS2024 and redo the flight there.

Since 2024 was released my 2020 update screen has gone from being barely noticeable (unless there was an update) to hanging for 1 to 1.5 minutes before proceeding.  The rest of the load process seems unchanged.  It's pretty clear that there is at least some resource sharing going on.

Yesterday was my first opportunity to sim in over 2 weeks, so definitely annoyed at yesterday's nonsense, and hoping today is better.  There's that initial moment of panic when you think you've done something to bork your system, followed by a measure of relief when you discover everyone else is in the same state.  Not gonna get too vexed about it though - it does no good and in the grand scheme of things isn't worth elevating my BP.

Had another couple of quick (circuit) flights this afternoon so far, and everything is performing like clockwork 👍

It has happened to me too since yesterday, and I have to find out what changed because I had never experienced freezes.

What I did different since I started using FS 2024 was:

- tried to play with default ATC and the new integrated EFB, in the Inibuilds A321 LR, and each time I end a flight the sim freezes, and I have to kill the process through the Task Manager;

- I enabled AI aircraft;

- I disabled the "Dynamic settings" options in the Graphic properties;

Also started noticing, while using the EFB and / or opening the ATC window that FPS dropped from a previously always stable and smooth 30 FPS, set through Riva Tuner, sometimes to 22 - 24 FPS (???)... This I believe I fixed when by enabling VSync and half refresh rate in the sim and not using Riva Tuner, but it's strange because before today I had never experienced FPS drops.

Just to make sure it was not related to the A321, I also did a few flights from Porto ( LPPR ) in the DHC-6, and experienced teh same FPS drops...

Other than that, FS 2024 PUMPS JOY and SHINES like Sun to my eyes 🤩 Best Sim EVER !

That's all great but this is a thread about 2020 outages and subsequent CTD's...

Not sure what 2024 being the best sim ever or really anything you posted has to do with that???

I just departed KSMF in the 777, and due to Asobo apparently tinkering with the 2020 servers, I had a stutter fest all the way up to 8,000 feet AGL. I hope they can put the servers back to the way they were 2 days ago.

Are you sure you didn't mean buggiest sim ever?😉

I meant that too, OFC 😉 

It has a bunch of quirks, but the joy still overrides the bugs and limitations. I am even able to close my eyes to the flight dynamics... Now I just want the FSLabs Airbuses to get released for 2024, and until then, to be able to use both FSLabs and Fenix for "serious" simming 😉

Ooops!, My bad 😕  This Forum should really offer separate 2020 and 2024 threads ... Sorry for that !

Couldn't be about FS 2020, from me - it's long uninstalled ... Past life... almost can't recall using it... 🙂

No kidding. Asobo and Microsoft’s lawyers are going to have a new class action lawsuit to prepare for. Because what they sold us with their marketing was not what we are seeing on our computers.
