Same issueā¦ while updating to 1.19.8 the whole game crashed. After that, the game is completely wiped out from my hard drive! Now I am wasting my time with downloading the 123 GB game with worthless 0.01 Mbps and endless package download loops like fortnite story. I have tried everything from the zendesk to clickbait youtube vidoes that promises to fix these issues but no solution. However, sometimes they automagically starts the next package download and goes to that never ending cycle.
Make sure you have all the xbox things installed. That seems to make it work for many. There was another post about a Microsoft Security Scanner, which can find bad things your virus software misses. Find and download that, see if you have bad things on PC. I ran complet scan on C, during scan it showed 19 items it did not trust, upon completion, it said PC was fine. Nevertheless, one fellow had some bad stuff he was unawared of and after getting rid og that, was able to download sim etc. If all else fails, you can try C:\sfc_scannow at a admin command prompt, that will see if corrupted files exist. If it finds some, I would then run C:\Chkdsk_/F/R - that will repair any thing wrong with system at file level, it takes a long time depending on drive size. Out of suggestions now.
is signature for the download āloopā problem many instances and versions reported. Happening to me now, and tried another computer here, which does exactly the same, and worse, zeroing the 10th little file downloading,
this is most likely a bug in download install manager, which has an unpack CRC problem in the back traffic, and which is in the connection from the MS servers to the computers, which is an extremely extravagant bug.
Nothing to do with your PC or your router, itās beyond horrible.
In the store, MS makes you download several things related to the Xbox and Gaming stuff. They are:
X-Box Game Bar - Needed for MSFS
Gaming Services - Needed for MSFS
And I have one more which is iffy I think.
X-Box Insider Hum (legasy).
So in tieing game to xbox, pcās need those files as well. MS Store, should just put them on system as matter of course, but you can search them out and install. The servers could also be at fault, hate this distribution method, as do many.
#PC#MSSTORE
I just came here due to this very problem, glad its not just me but its worse for me as I had to format the drive that had MSF2020 on and now installing again only 6mb downloaded and its stuck at 0.01mb download rate that fluctuates to zero! lolā¦ dear Buddhaā¦ geezā¦
This is completely ridiculous. Why should I need to use a VPN? I have absolutely no problem downloading literally anything else from anywhere at very high speed. Why doesnāt this just work? Itās unacceptable.
Suddenly, my download speed has been restored in the updater, but now it wonāt move beyond this āasobo-flight-tutorials-newlanding-0.1.15.fspackageā file. It gets to exactly 53% then restarts, over and over again. Seriously, what is wrong with this download manager? Why is this difficult in the year 2021?
Hej Hester, Thanks for trying to help out, but i have completely wiped out my MSFS with all folders after trying updates ect. But when trying a fresh install the problems with 0,01 Mbits remains (via the MS store) I have the new Xbox app installed as well, but it is a waste of our time, the problem is Asobo/MS server related for sure, had never had any problems before !.
Itās unacceptable that a company of your size, with all the resources available, and at the price point you charged for this game, to have all of these issues. Why did the game install fine on initial load, but I had to reinstall and now it wonāt get passed the download of the first file. UNACCEPTABLE AND CRIMINAL.
It really is getting beyond farcical with this whole update process of MSFS. I really donāt understand why they just canāt use the update function in Steam like LITERALLY everyone else. It would have been fine had they developed a better solution by themselves, but it is so far from being good that it is laughable. I have 750-ish hours logged in Steam, and well over half of this is just trying to update this thing.
Just the fact that someone suggests that you need to limit your download speed or use a paid VPN service really says it all of the quality of the updater.
It really is a shame, because the game itself is so very, VERY good.
