I had the unfortunate occasion to uninstall and re-install MSFS (SSD upgrade). No problem until the download has about 95GB remaining, then the file being downloaded kept going back to [0%] in a continuous loop. After 24 hours, the total remaining was still at 95GB. I exited MSFS, then restarted, the remaining total now showing 41GB. The download resumed at 41GB, and the looping stuff continued. After another 12 hours, the total was still 41GB. So, exited again, started again and it now resumed at 27.95GB remaining. And 4 hours later that’s where it is now…
Seems to me like the total-counter is not updating and that for some reason, the files being downloaded are restarting, over and over. Occasionally the progress bar shows, like 312MB, but the total remaining does not change. My next step is to repeat the exit/resume process and maybe after some indeterminate time I might be able to use MSFS!
Connection is at 50Mb/s, and there are zero dropouts.
Anyone know what is happening and how to fix this?
There are some posts about this already and is a duplicate post.
Have you tried searching for “download looping” ? There are some “fixes” but what works for some doesn’t work for others.
