Waiting for Authentication

Featured Replies

I’m stuck on the start screen. 0% - Waiting For Authentication… 

I checked the MSFS 2020/24 forums and I see a message from MS saying an Authentication issue has been resolved. 

Anyone else having this issue or is it just me and my computer. 
 

I’ve never had this issue before.

 

thanks

  • Ironic that next week marks the one year anniversary of MSFS 2024, and Microsoft is celebrating by reminding us of the launch day experience.😉

For that kind of problem, refer to the official forum: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/ and specifically https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/online-services-monitoring/486800

As you know, the problem has been announced and it seems to be fixed since then. I've made a test flight at 0600z without any issue from Paris, France.

UPDATE 0020 UTC: The authentication issue should now be resolved. If you are still experiencing problems launching MSFS (2020) or MSFS 2024, please let us know in a forum thread so we can continue investigating.

//////////////////////

We are monitoring scattered reports of some players not being able to launch MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 and getting the following error message after the splash screen with the company logos.

We have escalated this issue internally and will provide further information when it is available. Based on our own internal testing, it appears inconsistent, with some of our team members getting the error and others being able to launch the sim normally without issue.

We apologize to anyone experiencing this error and thank you for your patience as we work to resolve it.

+1 ^ still can’t get in 

also, I cannot log into Microsoft anywhere else, not just msfs. I can't put a password or email code in the sign in box.

Had this issue for some hours now. MS working on it despite saying resolved. Using a VPN set to Naples, Italy worked for me on the second try.

Thanks for all the feedback. It’s nice to know it’s not just me and my computer. 
I’m in Australia and it’s been like this all day, so my patience is almost looking like my startup Authenticator progress bar. 
 

thx everyone
