Deleting/restoring the hosts file is NOT the solution
1 Like
he mean well known hint , which is very often mentioned in forum, which is mentioned in that topic at very beginning ( Low bandwidth Message - Connection Lost - Switched Offline - #103 by cdjus9200) and within the FAQ, about the google-maps-replacement mod. ( Some topics are so often like a loop ). If users have that installed, it change the hosts file and in special some older version not revert that. In that case users must remove the hosts file and windows creates then a new default. But that is an old hint and may be help not in each case.

Same problem here. hosts file is empty and clean.
Fenix A320 at SEQM after 2 minutes got a message about bandwidth.
Still bandwith to low warning!
not fixed, as otherwise stated in anothet (now closed) topic.
After enabling the photogrammetrie again, waiting for a few minute son this screen âŠ
Not satisfying âŠ
Sick and tired of it. So many times the last weeks! Unbelievable how amateurish this is. And the message pops up right in the middle of the screen which takes away the visibility, not somewhere in a corner. It also turned off photogrammery and the runway full of trees⊠I have it recorded and will post in on Youtube.

Replace the word âYourâ with âtheâ as the problems are server side⊠itâs poorly worded.
This issue can happen even if you have a fast internet connection due to many other reasons such as server congestion and routing issues. Even if your connection is fast, if there are server issues or issues to the route your packets take, you will get this error.

Very much so and there some huge interruptions (while the net is still 97% good)
There is (or was if you closed it) a very prominent banner showing at the top of the forumâŠ
[Known issue]: Bing data streaming
I am going to go out on a limb and suggest your issue may well be related to that.

and in that post they talked about asobo changing stuff , so this post is about those âactionsâ breaking my sim.
i didnât have this problem before , but after tinkering by asobo itâs now brokenâŠ
Stop turning off Bing Data. Just stop. You donât need to do that. These disconnections are momentary, and, theyâre on server side, not anything to do with my connection.

Here we go again. On Xbox X.
Your connection had an issue while streaming data, you have been switched to offline mode.
then a minute later a different pop up:
WARNING You are currently offline and do not have the optional Offline Mode files installed, so cannot continue your current flight. Microsoft Flight Simulator will automatically attempt to reconnect to the internet. Please check your connection, or alternatively you can download the Offline Mode files.
10 times in a short 2 hour flight from NZAA to YSSY.
There are 3 issues:
- Asobo said in previous Sim updates they would prevent the popup (or make it less intrusive) and have a more graceful fallback when there was a connection issue - so that you could just continue flying.
- The popup WARNING message in the middle of the screen does not go away even when it reconnects by itself automatically and continues - instead I have to do what it says and press the âBâ button on my controller to âExit and download offline contentââŠ
- When I press âBâ ⊠it takes me to the MSFS Addon (for WASM) which says âInstalledâ. so itâs linking to the wrong thing. It FAILS to recognize that I DO have the âWorld Offline Modeâ files installed.

It still is a mess after 2 years, IMHO.
If the first post about this issue would have been taken serious and the communication from the devs would have been better, we might see it with a blinking eye.
But currently?
I have to censor myself âŠ

It was this time last year - November - when âConnection Lostâ started plaguing MSFS⊠The problem has not occured for me since maybe April or May⊠but itâs back with some frequency now.
Yesterday was my first time on VATSIM since SU14, and I received the message multiple times while on the ground at ATL. It happened when I first disconnected the multiplayer feature in the MSFS menus then connected to VATSIM servers.
When I did receive the message, I would look around (drone camera) and other players were still visible.
Once I was airborne, the message didnât appear.
