What is going on with MS2020 today? Start it up, go to update page, stays there for at least 5 min's. then goes to that one screen after  a normal update. That take's another five minutes. Finally gets to welcome page. Notice Market Place is offline, then crash to desktop....this has happened at least 4 times this morning....come on !!!!

  • For all you Idiotic conspiracy theorist 2020 is back up running as should. You can stop blaming 2024 for your sim not working

  • Yeah, 2020 never had server outages before 2024 😂

  • "Please note that it is a weekend and this may take a bit for them." Oh yes because a Massively Multiplayer Server Based Game/Simulation doesn't need any permanent staff looking over it at the we

Well, it certainly could never be that they would intentionally create annoying issues with fs2020 to get people to buy fs2024.

None of us could possibly comprehend how complex of a process it must be to ping a server to check the version number. You should be thankful that they are able to do it in less than an hour. If it took 4 hours it will still be an amazing feat of technological prowess and server responsiveness.

Hello all! We are aware about issues when trying to launch MSFS 2020 where’s it’s stuck on “checking for updates”. Moderators have escalated this to MS/Asobo to look into (as well as some issues with launching MSFS 2024). Please note that it is a weekend and this may take a bit for them. Thank you for your patience and reports.

My evening flight suddenly became MEGA choppy, and now I can't access the sim at all.  

Bunch of amateurs, nothing more to say...

This is the nightmare I hoped we did not have to deal with when msfs 2020 was released. Offline mode is an option, but can you imagine the look outside the window?

MSFS

Yep, same issue here. I got around the long wait period (I timed 17 minutes to Homepage) by disconnecting my ethernet cable, then after reaching homepage reconnecting. I managed abut 15 minutes of flying until a CTD. Did this 3 times and eventually got CTD's in under 15 minutes of flying. Good goin'...
