Dear Jorg, We would like to receive honest information when we can play, when there will be adequate server capacity

I would call this cancelled.
Just let me be very clear. This is not against Seedy, he can only tell what he get told. And I appreciate that he is facing this. One of the few people right now who need to deal with the anger of the community. Kudos to you!

I was very surprised to see on the Steam stats that the all-time high for FS24 player count was 10,500-ish. I would have thought it would have been far higher. I guess MS Store probably beats Steam for the count , not including console.

MSFS 2024 is a big disappointment. I had high hopes for the MSFS 2024 simulator, I was very excited. I followed the news every day until the release. I spend my free time playing simulators, I can’t believe what happened.

Yes, customers are really leaving, fleeing. I think the problem is so big that they can’t say anything. I don’t think they will develop the MSFS 2024 simulator, the cloud-based simulator was a huge mistake. Obviously they won’t say this yet, but this will be the end.

That is not totaly correct. the all time high was around 24k. Lets assume this represents 10% of the playerbase.


Sorry for cutting this out!

If you do the math this would indicate about 250k players on launch. The stresstest with 200k seems not to far off in this case.
Bottomline if it is not able to even handle this amount of players who knows.

Anyhow we will never get a true statistic from MS. Unless I am not aware of any source.

Nah I would not be that pessemistic. Cloud based streaming is essential for xBox which I am sure is a huge part of their strategy. It just takes more time to get this done.

That’s not what I am seeing when I look. Am I not looking at the correct place?

You are missing Nov 19th

Neverless if you put a trend line on top it is going down, slowly but steady

For some reason it won’t allow me to select a date range from 19/11.

I’ll take yours as the better result.

Maybe another interessting statistic

I guess most of the music is done on xBox / MS Store. If you compare the all-time peak 2020 vs 2024 there must be much more on MS side right now. Otherwise it will not be the great start they had hoped for.
GamePass might also contribute to this shift.
Hope this will not hunt the francise. If the numbers aren’t good enough it might get canceled due to lack of success.

This is the stats for 2020 over the last 7 days

do updates only come out late in the day? 3pm curious what seedy/the dev team will post today.

Honest communication? We don’t experience it.

-blurry textures
-photogeometry not working

Attached are many pictures and videos of the phenomenon. This is a fact.

Microsoft’s communication does not match reality.

Did a quick reinstall to see if there is some progress. Got 7 CTD during loading the sim. Not once I made it into the plane.
Uninstalled the broken software again.
Useless waste of my time. disgraceful

I was baffled when I read this a few minutes ago. Booted up the sim and voila

In short the message from Jörg was: “Problem soved, go away now!”
Hope it will soon get better for you.

I was disappointed when I found out yesterday that it was cancelled/delayed too. There’s like no difference if it’s done today or next week, too few things will change till then. There are just few to none updates on what they are focusing right now, what bugs are being worked, etc.
Who can guarantee that it won’t be delayed again?
I’ve been good to them, I haven’t gave any feedback, I could’ve left a feedback on steam. I’m just waiting to play and have a good experience. For me msfs is “working”, but I really didn’t try to break it at all, for example I know that Tobi is broken and haven’t used it, career is “broken” so I didn’t start it.
I am curious as others what’s being worked right now and when I could start actually enjoying it. There are no answers
and I just don’t see people asking for clear information
instead I see a lot of bored man at >65ish y.o. that need apologies and refunds and whatever. Also a lot of people that didn’t bought it and now are just extremely vocal giving feedback about something that they don’t own.
I am sorry for Jorg, he has all the good intentions, but it should’ve been msfs 2026 or 2028. I was extremely disappointed when out of the blue he announced this game 2 years in advance and lost focus on 2020 entirely, I honestly stopped playing it then. I bought 2024, but man
there’s not much faith in it, it really is a mess. Whoever planned this all along

Test this morning. Setting 4k Ultra, Bandwidth: 350/Mbit / On a high-end desktop

Now what can I say about this? Unenjoyable.

of course :smiley: everything else runs perfectly
No problems running 2020, no problems downloading stuff at full speed from steam or battle.net. I flushed my dns also. Nothing more that I can do.

Is this a zoomed in view from the cockpit?

Good news for everybody who can run the sim, the trendline of users continue to go down. More free capacity for the ones left.
I am quite confident that the number of players will have decreased enough till next weeks Live Stream they can finaly declare the situation solved.
100% of the players who can actually run the sim do not have any problems running the sim :wink:
Well done MS/Asobo!
