Crash on startup, new computer

Hello everyone,

I invested in a new gaming PC for Christmas, 2,600 € to be able to play Flight Simulator in good conditions.

ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PLUS
Ryzen 5 5600X
16GB RAM (2x8)
10GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
1TB NVMe SSD

The game crashes on startup! Impossible to play there.

The game launches, the studio announcements go through, then the game connects to Microsoft (I deduct it because this is where I connected the first time), the small loading circle rotates for 5sec at the bottom right then the image blurs and returns to the desktop.
No error message or code etc … (only error message during the next launch asking me if I want to launch in “normal mode” or in “safe mode”) I have also tried both, but it’s the same.

I followed all the guides and advice on the internet for game crashes, nothing works.

I specify that I took it on Steam.

I tried to install it on my second hard drive, activated deactivated my software, added Steam (and the game when I could) to the software exceptions, activated deactivated the VPN, launched the game without internet connection, installed another software free for test, logged in, logged out of Microsoft account, …
I even managed to find the Driver of an old version of the NVIDIA driver (which would be more stable) but no, it has no effect.

I am totally up to date with Windows updates (even secondary ones), NVIDIA drivers, etc.

I am exhausted ! I tried everything I could and found on helpers, guides, forums etc … absolutely nothing works.

TODAY 01/16/2022 :

I just reset my whole PC.
I only installed Steam and Flight Simulator.
The game crashed again in the same place.

What’s the problem please ?

Go to Windows Settings > Time & Language > Speech > Manage Voices, and check that “English (United States)” is installed, along with any other languages you already have.

You ram is a bit low, I have the same.
What is your Virtual Memory set for?

You just saved my life!

I am French and my Windows was only in French! We need to install the English (United States) language pack to install the game because it was only in English at the time.

I had already browsed this website, but in the mental state in which I was (that is to say disappointed) I passed too quickly on it and I did not pay attention to it.

The game is installing.

I should definitely look for solutions later in view of the many problems shared by the community every day.
But I’m so happy that this problem that was driving me crazy because I didn’t understand how it was possible with a completely new computer, is solved.

I don’t know how to say THANK YOU but: thank you :heart:
