Hi guys I need help when I launch msfs it hangs on the black screen and shows a white circle on the bottom right and that also is not spinning I open task manager and it shows it’s not responding I leave it for good 5 mins then it changes to the trademark and what not displayed in text all that Asobo stuff then after another 4 mins I get the video thing like press any key and then another 5 mins before an in the game is that normal ? Game is on a m.2 drive aswell was never like this prior to japan update
Bought from game pass and upgraded to premium from store
Does community add one effect this depending how much you have ? Please help
It happened to me when I tried to run a Virtual Joystick (to remove joystick noise / jitter). The game would not pass the black screen and the loading icon wouldn’t spin.
I suggest you open the task manager and start closing open apps untll you find the one that is preventing your sim from loading. By the way, you can do that while the Sim is open on that black screen. If you have two monitors, even better. One monitor for the task manager and the other one for the sim, if not, that’s ok, open the task manager on top of the sim and start closing apps untill you see the loading icon spining.
Also, try to open the sim without any controller / joystick connected and see what happens.
Those delay times don’t sound too unusual
Thanks for the information Captain I’ll get on that as soon as am home from work. I don’t however have a controller or a joystick hooked up when I start the sim I do it after it loads on to the simulator fully.
He refers to a Total Freeze that could happen under some circumstances. The initial Black Screen that contains a small spining icon on the bottom right corner, it’s not that it takes time loading, the problem is that it will never load. It happened to me for the mentioned reason above.
Do you know which App or process is the culprit for making that spinning icon not load the sim ?
I timed the loading and for me to get past that initial loading screen with the spinning icon it take me 7 minutes then another 5 mins before I get to the press any key then another 8 mins to get in the game that’s just puts me off from playing it
That’s strange. You need to start troubleshooting.
Remove all Addons
Try opening the sim With or Without Joystick connected
Use “Razor Cortex” to close/pause all apps and services while gaming and see if that helps
Remove all Startup programs and Restart.
Yes I have razer mouse and use the cortex I think, is that the one that says it freeing up memory ? When I launch msfs it doesn’t say that but other games it will pop up saying freeing memory and i don’t plug anything in until am in a plane like joystick or controller. I probably will have to try and see without add ons
Try starting the game with all the controls conected, when that happened to me it was something related to the input. It’s weird, but yeah.
I have still same issue even with controller connected. As I’m still at work now i will have to try all the things you’ve mentioned when I get home.
