"Checking for Updates"

Featured Replies

I find that "Checking for Updates" is taking much longer than usual since MSFS 2024 came out, is it just me, or are more people experiencing this?

  • Same here. Used to be seconds before 2024 was released.

  • I recall that this was a complaint in the early days of MSFS20 that Asobo addressed in one of their updates which did, in fact, cure it.  It would seem to be back; a punishment to the '2024' heretics.

  • They've got top men on it. Top. Men.

It is, but only about 10 seconds so nothing to worry about...

 

On a separate note I deleted all my AI traffic and the load times decreased significantly..

How it's that possible?

Checking for Updates does seem to take a bit longer these days.

I recall that this was a complaint in the early days of MSFS20 that Asobo addressed in one of their updates which did, in fact, cure it.  It would seem to be back; a punishment to the '2024' heretics.  My log-in through the 'Checking for Updates' page is at minimum 4-5 times longer (now up to 5 minutes) than it was pre '24'.

Almost 20-25 seconds after MSFS2024's release.

In fact, this is nothing new and has already been published here on AVSIM.

I had (and still have) this problem long before 2024 was released.
It's one of the reasons why I don't use MSFS 2020 anymore.
Unacceptable for a company like Microsoft.

I have tried all the so-called solutions (Windows time synchronization, new User.opt file, full FS reinstall etc...) to no avail.
