  • 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.

Just landed in KORD. Shut down MSFS, restarted and stuck on checking for updates. 

 

 

 

Time for a break from this thing. It’ll work whenever Asobo decides it should work. I remember the last time this happened, I think it was down all day. I wouldn’t count on your simulator today.

This drives me crazy. Love and hate this hobby. Doesn't matter which simulator I've had or still have. Always had some kind of a problem. 2024 is being buggy as well for me.

Thank goodness for other hobbies.

You're right. Time to take a break for a long while.

No way!!  AGAIN!?  I just got some spare time in over a week to sim and now this.  I hate them.  Just a terrible company/organization.

I have made the point before that  these simulators have significant problems.  The server issue doesn’t seem  to be improving. It’s not always a guarantee you’ll access the game when you want to. Good luck.

Things were not this bad before FS2024.  I'm not saying FS2024 is good/bad but after its release things went downhill for FS2020.

It's the weekend, more players at the weekend = server issues, it's been this way for years (not every weekend mind but there's a definite pattern).

Pico Neo3 Link VR - Windows 11 64bit, Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Elite Mobo, i7-10700KF CPU, Gigabyte RX 9070 XT OC 16gb (AMD GPU), 32gig Corsair 3600mhz RAM, SSD x2 + M.2 SSD 1tb x1

Saitek X45 HOTAS - Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals - Logitech Flight Yoke - Homemade 3 Button & 8-directional Joystick Box, SNES Controller (used as a Button Box - Additional USB Numpad (used as a Button Box)

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue......

Yeah, did a flight, during app it started to stutter like crazy, landed, restarted and stuck on checking for update screen. I mean, some people like me waits all the week to get a little bit of time to do our beloved hobby, but im tired.

7800X3D / 7900XTX / ROG STRIX B650-A / Corsair Vengeance 32GB 6000mhz, etc etc.

Same here. MSFS2024 no problem (so far!)

MS FS 2020/2024 | 9800X3D  | 64GB DDR5 6000mhz |  ASUS ROG ASTRAL RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 OC EDITION   | Varjo Aero | Navigraph | VATSIM | TPR Pedals | Virpil  | Honeycomb | Winwing FCU + EFIS | Behringer X Touch Mini | SPAD.next

The bad thing of these problems is that users now think their installation is a problem, start tweaking and deleting and what not..... then the server issue is gone... and then indeed the installation is not working anymore.

How ironic is the fact that msfs24 servers seems to work. so at least most of us have msfs24 to kill the time while msfs servers are back

Microsobo tells us it's time to move to MSFS2024

It's the second time i have started MSFS2020, "checking for update" which lasted at least 5 minutes or more, and when loading it took me 12 minutes and once i got to the main menu CTD. A solution or wait for a Microsoft update?

Server problem in my opinion?
