In times, when many players want to play (e.g. on fridays, during the weekend), the login servers are too weak. The loading process gets stuck at 2% registering packages or 6-14% activating packages. Sometimes you need half an hour (with several retrys) to get in, sometimes you don’t get in at all. No other game does such a crazy drm mechanism, that costs the players hours of lost play time. Get your stuff together: give us stronger login servers for the package stuff upon loading. This not funny anymore !!!
FRREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Very Frequently !!!
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
Try to login in times of high demand (e.g. friday evening, weekend, etc…)
YOUR SETTINGS
If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.
Even when I got in: Since the game accumulates memory leaks as hell, i have to restart after every long flight. After that I often don’t get in anymore due to login servers collapsing!
Thank you for this report. We’ve moved your topic into the User Support Hub.

I log in from Germany with a stable 50Mbit/s connection (maximum of what is available for me, no shared medium… completely stable even in high-demand times aroumd evening/weekend). This should be far more than enough for some DRM stuff and verifications. In fact while I am in the game my connection is fast enough for streaming everything in the msfs. Even when the login gets stuck in verifying packages I made a speed test to ensure, it is not my connection - all is fine. After the package stuff, all works fine - only the package thing gets stuck. Especially since SU6.
It is the servers, since my friends from other german federal states report the same issues (and they are lucky: they have fiber connection with 250 Mbit/s and more).
The package-verifying/registering server seem not to withstand the traffic, when it is prime gaming time world wide.
Don’t seem to have this problem here in Eastern Canada (EST). My load time is generally around 2 mins. Pretty consistent no matter when I am launching. Maybe try another server?
As Ps5 user I have no access which server is used. Maybe it is only ths PS5-releated server. Maybe only the one for Europe.
Maybe the server capacities for PS5 were reduced while many players avoided to play the msfs as we were geounded for two weeks (between SU 6 and 6.1) as our memory management was completely broken… maybe the capacities are not back up yet?
Its not telekom. Different local ISP.
What can be done foe Telekom users? Maybe it is the same issue for my ISP.
I also do not use the dns servers of my ISP. I use the google ones, as they offer far more performance and fixed many connection issues in other games.
Before SU6 everything waa running smooth. Also: When I am in the game, all runs fluently… only the package thing gets stuck from time to time.
