Game not loading after crashing on 31st January

The game froze on me mid flight yesterday around noon EU (31st January) and ends up stuck on 68% - Loading World Data.

There was an Nvidia update waiting I haven’t installed yet.
I’ve found out there was a game patch the same day.

I have reinstalled the game a few times, and confirmed everything game related was removed.

Hell, this game needs proper testers!

UPDATE with my solution:

The only documented issue, currently, is with Nvidia’s latest driver… the Nvidia app has a known bug that can cause CTDs for MSFS 2020. No impact w/ MSFS 2024 though.

Try downgrading your driver to a previous version. I’m flying in 2020 just fine.

2024 worked fine before that crash.

I tried starting the game before and after updating Nvidia drivers. Still, the same outcome.

Glad I’ve bought 2020 by accident.
