Anybody noticing an uptick in erroneous low bandwidth messages/bing world graphics being automatically disabled?

2020, PC.

Over the last 10 days, maybe even a couple of weeks, this has become a problem on every flight for me - sometimes more than once. I get the low bandwidth message and then bing world graphics is disabled and never reenabled.

Each time I’ve noticed the messages I’ve checked my internet and it’s fine and running at full speed - incidentally I have 2Gbps fibre and unlimited data on my contract.

Obviously this has happened to everybody occasionally with 2020, but it becomes a real pain when it’s an occurence every time you use the sim.

Happening to anybody else at the moment?

Same here on 2020. I was on short final to KDAL with the PMDG B737-700 and that message popped up right smack in the middle of the screen blocking the runway. It was the 4th time that message had popped up on that flight.

Same in 2024 - especially while I am refining the route I am going to fly and have the Career mode world map open with the EFB. Also in Free flight with simbrief open.
Just to add I have a 900Mbps internet.

Ok, well good to know it’s not just me. Are the devs aware of this, anybody know?

I’m sure they are. It’s an intermitent problem that has been happening for years now. Always issues with the MS servers.

I know. But the point in my post is that for me, it’s now happening literally every flight instead of every so often.

I haven’t flown in about a week as I got tired of the popups. I’ll try today and see if I still have them.
