At 40Mbps d/l speed I was able to get through 22gb update rather quick, however
I had to stop and kill the task in task manager 3 x throughout the day to continue it.
Now my game is stuck in a constant download loop of this file - fs-base-cgl-0.1.49 in the remaining 4.6gb i need to download, will climb up to 1gb and returned straight back to 0, have restarted 3 times now 5 months, 3 world updates, and multiple sim updates, and it’s constantly broken… I am yet to see a justification for $120AUD pricetag.
Honestly what is this? Like I understand you’re trying to help and I’ll try the forementioned tricks, but Asobo is literally getting users of a game to fiddle with IT settings that really shouldn’t be touched. I have never come across a game that requires command-line inputs and IPv6, to fix an issue.
Yes evidently -_-, But this is not what you should be getting your users to be doing. Like in the slightest, I am nearly at the point of going to the ACCC in my country, and having this game looked at. It meets 3 of the criteria to be classified as having major issues.
1 - * it has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying it if they’d known about it, I know of a few who haven’t bought yet knowingly.
2 - * it has multiple minor problems that, when taken as a whole, would have stopped someone from buying it if they’d known about them - Autopilot, Nav Issues, Aircraft issues, etc
3 - it doesn’t do what you asked for and can’t easily be fixed within a reasonable time;
5 months.
And I thanked you for doing so, I simply stated that Asobo shouldn’t be giving users who range from young to elderly, a solution that could potentially cause further issues that Asobo are then not responsible for.
wrong again, all these things you mentioned were known before i bought it.
i am very happy with it and so are many thou of ppl.
and yes some ppl are having issues but def not the majority, and most issues are at
the userside.
mayeb you shoudl not have biught it until maybe much later, it is in development, this was also known before.
so it sounds to me you didnt do much investigation.
i hope you get your issues solved.
The ‘honestly what is this’ comment wasn’t suppose to be targeted at you, more of a ‘wtf asobo really?’ As someone who works in IT it just baffles me completely.
Someone logs onto their Microsoft Store and decides one day to purchase MSFS, they do so, they play it and they’re found a game littered with issues, then when they go searching for said issues they find that other players have issues. It’s not stated on the Microsoft Store "game suffers a lot of issues, think before buying’. That’s called Deceit. You need to go looking for, to know this game has issues. You are not told.
Had I of known that every update this game brought out would carry issues, I would have waited another year or two until they sorted their stuff. Now I’m $120 out of pocket, for a game I have no enjoyment playing because the way I have always flown in flight simulators does not work. The game works well for GA and Sightseeing but even then there are issues at hand.
You need to understand, that flight sim has always catered to a wide range of pilots, Amatuers, Real World, Simulated ATPL Pilots, Vatsim, etc Not just too newbies, or people who wanna sight see in a game. I cannot Vatsim in this game properly due to issues at hand. The game can’t even track the map properly.
I have exactly the same problems…
Simce I habe bought, I could play only 15 min because of the installations and updates thal always occur and prebvent from using the soft.
A BIG ZERO TO Microsoft !!!
At the moment I write this, FS has just spent 5 DAYS to try dowloading an update (with a loop on a file)… I thought I could use it now… but no…a new update is again there…and I gone once again for 5 days…
I have similar issue right now, not loop from 0%, but CTD in the middle of download (can’t pass to next part).
I restart the game, download that part again, CTD again, restart and download again… never finish
Well I thought of this, but the installer shouldn’t even be attempting to download or even moving at that point, So it has connection to the download server, it’s increasing file size, then decreasing when it reverts back to 0 indicating a sort of roll back, I’m unsure of how they split their servers, I would imagine their multiplayer connectivity is hosted separately to the download server
This game is a GOD awful piece of excrement. Yes I’ve read and tried all of the solutions to looping. Can’t play the game because for 2 days now I’ve been trying to install the forced upon me update (no way to bypass update so you can keep playing) and it just keeps looping on many different file downloads. I guess those of us who have bought this game and have problems are just guinea pigs for who ever make this ■■■■ to see if it will work. Typical Micro$oft ■■■■.
