- Issue Description
For the past several weeks, I have been unable to save my time records after completing the first challenge in the Weekly Challenges section of Challenge League. This issue occurs consistently across multiple weekly challenge rotations and has not resolved with routine game updates.
Key symptoms include:
-
Upon successful completion of the first weekly challenge (e.g., rally race, precision landing), the final time either displays as 00:00:00 or fails to populate entirely.
-
No time record is submitted to the global or friends-only leaderboards, and no progress is reflected in my Challenge League standings.
-
The issue is isolated to the first challenge—the second and third weekly challenges save time records and update leaderboards correctly .
-
This problem did not occur in earlier builds of the game; it began suddenly approximately weeks ago.
- Frequency & Consistency
-
Occurrence Rate: 100% (every attempt to complete the first weekly challenge)
-
Impact: Prevents participation in leaderboard competition for the first weekly challenge and hinders progression in Challenge League rankings.
-
Reproduction Steps
-
Launch Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and ensure the game is connected to Xbox Live/online services.
-
Navigate to the Challenge League menu and select the first challenge in the weekly rotation.
-
Complete all required objectives of the challenge (e.g., finish race, land successfully) without technical failures or disqualifications.
-
Reach the challenge completion screen and observe the time display.
-
Return to the Challenge League menu or leaderboard to verify if the time record is saved.
Note: I have repeated these steps at least 8 times across 3 different weekly challenge cycles with identical results.
- Troubleshooting Attempted (No Resolution)
-
Restarted the game and gaming platform multiple times.
-
Verified game files via [Microsoft Store/Steam] to resolve potential corruption.
-
Disabled all community mods/add-ons and re-tested (issue persists in stock game state) .
-
Signed out of the Xbox app, restarted the device, and signed back in to fix potential cloud sync issues .
-
Checked for game updates (always running the latest version).
- Additional Information
-
Internet Connection: Stable (100Mbps download/upload, no packet loss).
-
Error Messages: None displayed—game behaves as if challenge was completed, but no time is saved.
-
Related Observations: Other players have reported similar issues with weekly rally challenge times not saving to leaderboards .
-
Screenshots/Logs: [Indicate if available: e.g., “Screenshots of empty time display and leaderboard attached” or “Crash report archive generated via ‘Report-an-Issue’ tool available upon request”] .
- Expected Behavior
Upon completing the first weekly challenge, the final time should display correctly and save automatically to the leaderboard, updating my Challenge League progress.
