There’s a wasm issue from the community folder add-ons. Try removing/moving community items.
Just about when this thread started, MSFS 1.15.7.0 released through the MS Store-that’s the current release version.
There are several download steps for a world update:
- update the client MSFS app: MS Store/Steam update download
- update the content manager packages: inside the client MSFS app->points to the community folder
- “purchase” the world update (1-4 are free): these packages need downloading too
Pausing and starting can cause corruptions. The initial launch, a solution was to delete the content subfolder where the downloader hangs to force it down the entire folder again. May not be as necessary now, but one sure way to get fresh content files.
The downloads are often some kind of pack/zip like file, then they’re uncompressed once all the parts are downloaded. Download a bit, uncompress (download total stops), download some more, uncompress (download total stops)… until finished.
There are some very large files coming in (installer/downloader) to deal with. I know there are some distribution issues as to where the user is downloading from the cloud - using a wireless connection used to be an issue.
For an update: I check the MS Store update. Then, load the app. Ensure the content manager points to the install location I’ve used previously. Click update, then get the proverbial “cup of tea/coffee and read the paper” and look occasionally (if it looks like it’s looping e.g. item 2 of 182 for 5 minutes and keeps downloading, then intervene). A good solution, for me, is to wait for it to finish regardless of the time.
There are so many factors involved. Load balancing so everyone can update, locational issues - certain locations have a degraded distribution, checking the incoming data packages, saving to the storage location. Patience for these things.
