same here Ray, if its a Microsoft fix though we may be waiting until the start of the business day in west coast USA. Asobo will be halfway through their work day now, but this likely may well not be for them to fix but a Microsoft issue.

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

here too. it is the second time this week for me. Shame on you MSFS !!!

Update @ 15:45 UTC. We are go! No more authentication issues. Loaded into the sim finally

Still no go on FS2020.

I tried rebooting, applying all updates for Win11 and still stuck waiting for authentication. I am running Beta SU4

No issues with 2020 here in Northeastern US

They posted it's intermittent auth services on their end running local updates on your PC probably wont have any impact. 

Try clearing your internet cache if anything, try to establish a net new connection vs potentially re-using an old cookie or maybe even take a new path or hit a new auth server.

Same here. That sucks. Had a bit of spare time and now the simulator doesn't work...

cleared cache and still have the same issue

not working here

 

IT'S A NO GO FOR ME ALSO. I completed flight from VMMC to ROAH. Restarted computer and stuck at 0% authentication.

Considering that I was the first to post about this on Avsim:

and that was 19+ hours ago and affecting two major MSFS platforms, not just one and add to that the confused and disjointed response from MS with no root cause or resolution in sight?  I say “Good Luck” with your PS5 launch in early December…you’re gonna need it!  YMMV. TANSTAAFL. Blue skies,

Thanks to the outage we all got a rare opportunity to return to normal life for a short time.
