Thank you for that. I’ll look tomorrow it’s 0045 in Perth. Wasted 5 hours on this broken sim.
EDIT…couldn’t sleep so I tried. . Doesn’t work. That setting does not look the same as yours. I can’t find it. All I coud see under my profile name ability to run games limited to off-line or online. Tried both. No good.only allowed to change that setting 2 times per year!! Too risky.
Besides, it looks totally different to yours. There is no “settings >general” in my ms store app.
What has broken this sim???
Can you please show me where to click to find that setting. I’m Lost beyond words.
Now that you told me it’s the Xbox setting, I found it. Thanks. For now I can fly by disconnecting from the net then reconnecting when FS starts.
Update edit
Wish MS would fix the GS app. It’s the latest version that some people, including me, have gotten. Wish I could revert to the older version.
No. How?? It’s ethernet only. You saying I need to unplug that? It’s too hard to get to in back of the tower. Sounds crazy. How could MS do something like this?
I’m getting that crazy start up screen like the one posted. Theres a lock and key in the middle. Weird ■■■■
It’s always been set off-line without me knowing.
I don’t have wifi into the tower. Just hard wired ethernet from modem. Do you know hoe hard it is to get to that cable? Almost impossible without moving everything off my fs set-up!
Çan I deactivate internet without pulling a plug every time I want to ffly if so it’s ridiculous. MS needs to fix this asap
You can try to disable and renable in device manager, yes. but it would be easier to just unplug your cable. Anyway - If it works… do it. Im just not sure if this disable/enable works “live” without a restart.
Probably worth mentioning this -
On the Xbox app are 2 progress bars trying to instal flight simulator - a basic and a premium deluxe. Both bars are stalled at zero progress (of 123Gb each) and a message saying “something went wrong”
I’m having this issue after the latest Windows update. What’s strange is that I own the Premium Deluxe version. I can’t run the program unless I run it with Admin permissions, which I can do by going to the menu bar and running it from there. Once it launches, only the standard airplanes are available. The others show as being installed in Content Manager, but I can’t access them. Strange… I’m going to see if I can revert back to the previous Windows build later tonight and see if that resolves the problem.
This same problem occurred for the first time for me yesterday! At first I could fix it by launching the game in administrator mode. The solution to cut the wifi at startup also works (I discovered it thanks to you).
I hope MS or Asobo will fix the problem so that we can launch the game normally!
I think it has something to do with the newest Gaming Services App Version.
A Friend of mine still has the older Version. I got the newest version via Update from the MS Store. The new version was released on April 19th, and thats where my problem started.
Here a link to the Thread in the MS Support Forum. There you can see my post.
I Have 3.64.15002.0 installed.
My friend still has 3.63.31001.0 and has no Problems.
I even upgraded to Windows11 now but still same issue. Can u guys check what version you have? App-settings, Search for GamingServices → advanced options:
