Rolling cache is disabled, so it’s not that. Also tried restoring sim to vanilla state without luck.
I recently built a new PC for MSFS and this issue did not occur for a few days on the new PC. Today, it is back even on the new machine. To be clear, the crash happens when the launcher window with the Bora Bora back drop says “Launching game”.
The only thing that I can think of that has changed is that I tried loading the game on a 3rd PC that I very rarely use, and that PC always gives me a profile load error and forces me to play offline. I wonder if that PC corrupts my cloud profile somehow and causes other machines to no longer be able to reliably launch MSFS.
Having to try to launch the game 10 - 15 times to get it to load is super frustrating, especially since I just built a brand new PC specifically for it.
