Concerning priorities by Asobo

Looking at the latest feedback snapshot concerns me a lot.
To see that they have not even started to work on the crashs to Desktop that happen A LOT since the last two patches is very worring.
The sim has become an absolute mess, and I basically don’t play it anymore since it’s usless in it’s current state. Why would I even bother to start a flight when the chance of beeing able to finish it is about 50%?
Crashs to deskop happen so often now, it’s just a waste of time.
To see that Asobo has not even started to work on these issues is pretty mindblowing.

Basically the upcoming Update 4 just mainly fixes stuff they have messed up with the last update. But nothing more.

At this point, they should actually give us a refund.
They launched a half backed product in August and then just made it worse with every patch.

Sorry. Had to be said.

Sad to hear about your CTD but I have had none, so possibly MSFS2020 not the culprit, perhaps your PC?

No that’s wrong!

Inside that case is a giant hamster on a treadmill providing power.

It’s a beast IN a machine, so get your facts right. :joy:

The scary part-- I booted that thing so many time by hand, I can probably still remember the key sequence !!!

I wonder if you will still feel inclined to post silly pictures in response to a perfectly reasonable OP like this after the next patch which has b*****ed up your enjoyment? I guess we will find out.

Oops wrong protocol engaged.

Hey chill bro’.

Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the webs they weave.

It’s just a Question of Balance. Oh I’m all Moody Blue now.

Might just be as simple as; it’s catalogued in the backlog (so they’re aware of the issue), and are busy researching what is going on. ‘Not started’ might just mean they haven’t started on implementing the fix yet, since they’re still researching.

I don’t know what the terminology used by MS/Asobo is here, but I’m fairly sure hard crashes will be high on their priority list.

And yet for many of us, we have never had a CTD of any sort.

As a software developer it is exceedingly difficult to debug an issue that cannot be reproduced. Best thing you can do is try to figure out what circumstances trigger a CTD, make it as repeatable as possible, and report it through Zendesk.

Only way bugs get resolved is through tangible evidence. That’s just the facts.

This is my setup and I don’t have any CTD’s anymore. To be fair, when I first downloaded the sim, I was having CTD’s, but after a few tweaks to my system, I’m problem free so far…image

Yup, solved as usual by throwing people at the problem!

Looks like you intend to DOWNLOAD “ALL” the world’s scenery onto Tape ??

But you wont get much those 200KB hard drives !!!

guys, maybe stop with the ‘old hardware’ memes now. The OP asked a valid question.

I think it’s mostly about using terminology that’s easier to interpret on Asobo’s side. Still a valid concern, no need to derail the thread.

I’m just thankful for the transparency from Asobo and MS regarding the priorities.

I recognize & appreciate the transparency as well :wink:

I found it disappointing Garmin and presumably nav system fixes, the TOP VOTED ISSUE are pushed out to Update 9, good grief.

But, if that means they are being realistic and are going to give it a lot of attention, I can understand it being further out. If they put it off until Update 9 and it’s still broken or has a whole new set of bugs, that will be frustrating to say the least.

yeh, the way I interpret it (and I could be entirely wrong) it seems like update 9 is the plan for the complete overhaul of the G1000 system, which includes a lot more than just the nav system fixes (hey, I’m hopeful). I’d rather they take their time and come up with a good new implementation, since the G1000 is an amazing system.

If there are any quick fixes possible I hope they get those in sooner (for instance, the whole ‘dolphins are back’ topic).
