Installation Issues & Bugs Megathread

Its pretty frustrating sssu12. been at this since 0500 - r u in NZ or Aus? Wondering if its a pacific store thing. cheers

Why the heck the game download then unzip 1 package before downloading the following one…

Not to be confused with xbox companion beta right i typed it in and there it was at the store

restart the game yeah

What launcher?

Probably, though I really didn’t try to solve it any other way yet. I suggest to wait for some time (few hours) if you can’t really install it on system drive, probably there will be another solution.

Ok, thanks

Melb, only tried as of 830am

How do you uninstall the game though? trying to make some more space on C: to install it there

No, exactly XBox Beta. Also it will need ā€œGaming Servicesā€ - but script for powershell installs everything right away so I’d give that a go.

it’s very frustrating, how many drives do you have?

go to ā€œStartā€ - ā€œSettingsā€ - ā€œApplicationsā€, find MS FLight SImulator there and uninstall it.

Nice someone else having same issue.
I tried redownloading but same thing. I checked under appdata. Looked like microsoft flightsim folder has 8gb. Maybe it should have downloaded lot more before launching game.
Would help if someone loads a YouTube install info showing the amount of download size you can expect from Microsoft App Store. I will try again after work but no joy as yet. Please share if you have success. Thx

Thanks man

Anyone else in the UK not able to launch due to ā€˜too early’ message?

In controls my joystick name is visible but under description there is a picture with a question mark and it doesn’t show any controls so i can change them. Anyone else ?

I went ahead and installed that xbox beta app you suggested not sure if I’ll need that power shell stuff cause when i did my beta installation it went through successfully and took almost three days and 2 nights on WiFi Ethernet cable not long enough to reach my room but we use At&t internet with max download speed of 24 meg and google WiFi we have the main router hooked downstairs and one station in my room and another in my dads office

When it does that, you don’t need to uninstall it. Just kill the process and fire it back up again. It’ll pick up from near where it left off.

On occasions it can stick during the download.

Is there a way to move the installation from one computer to another? I would like to take my laptop to a friend’s house with much faster internet connection, and install the game there, then copy it to my gaming rig at home.

Possible to do?

2 of them. One of them is SSS (System drive only 120 GB). The other one is HDD (installed game here)
