Launching FS2020 suddenly fails to load, I get the hour glass of death and finally need t Ctrl-Alt-Del. Anyone else had this happen to them? I have been running fine until recently. 
Happens every time now.
The latest changes is that I installed the Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant, was working well for 2 days. Prior to that I installed the Mooney Aircraft over 2 weeks ago.
White Circle never stops loading, music plays over and over, never gets to the menu items, the last thing I remember doing was checked my pilot logs then shutting everything down. Following day got the situation I described. I tried to go to the Microsoft store and re-install the package to no avail.
Was just dealing with another user in another thread with the same issue. It seems that there are some server issues at the moment.
One user was only able to load if using VPN to access european servers instead of US.
See here…
Thank everyone for the responses, it turns out the issue was with the eastern servers that host my profile. MST resolved on their end and I was back up and running.
I have this problem now—perfect running MSFS sim For two months, now today it will not connect stuck on the above screen with the hour glass. My net connection is good. Been through all troubleshooting. This is a high end machine
4.2 GHz
RTX 3090
Origin PC
I have been trying for two days to get the sim to load. This is where mine gets stuck.
System is an i9-9900K; 32 GB RAM; GTX 1080ti
This is a clean install of the game. Community folder is empty. I have tried most of the things in the troubleshooting guide.
I say most because the game would load in “safe mode” because MS Game services don’t load in safe mode.
I couldn’t figure out how to add exception in Windows Defender Firewall for the game, but it looked like a rule for the game existed already.
My install hung on one package decompressing but I restarted the install and everything appeared normal.
Anyone got any ideas?
That blue bar just sits there at what looks like 95%, just taunting me…
