Playtime gone missing [Packages out of date]

you would thinik they would throw out a quick fix this weekend

unlikely: they f***ed up something last friday before they left the office and won´t be back until monday. Then they´ll have a meeting about this and might find a solution next tuesday. Earliest. A perfect way to build a bad reputation…

always happens on the weekend, never fails

Well if you rush to finish your designated work by Friday and make it live as you walk out the door …

what I wrote:

But together with @DenisVarlamov88 we clarifed my misunderstanding what he has meant: …the profile stats of entire sim…

The packages out of date error started before these 3 USA items got updates. Maybe the beta test is to blame and instead of admitting it they made these 3 unrelated updates and called it a preparation for WU4.

So I’m guessing that there is no solution nor a official statement from Asobo or Microsoft yet on this?

I’m asking because I’m wondering if I should or should not fire up my sim.

I’m gonna play Hitman this weekend!!

Yeah. In that way… I think that I like how this formum work, but maybe it can be a good idea if they can put “remarks” or “highlights” on their anouncements so people can find what MSFS/Asobo said rightaway. Instead of thinking that Asobo/MSFS don’t say anything because they can’t find it.

The community manager has confirmed already that this has been pushed up to the QA team, so there is no question whether they’re aware or not.

Some people click “NO” and that bugged the sim anyway :frowning:

I’ve been flying without any issues, but am wondering whether i should apply those updated packages in Content Manager.

Probably not, as they’ll not make any difference to what I was planning to do in MSFS this weekend.

ArmA3 in multiplayer… there are Helis :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m also flying without issues, it’s just my log that is at 2 hrs… :wink:

My log was bricked instantly, before updating the three packages.

And exceptional weather, and flora and fauna (everywhere) and like said helicopters (with rockets bwhaha cant have a helicopter without rockets you know), and water you can swim in / under and boats and cars…

Kinda makes me wonder why they didnt think to use the VBS engine for the new game instead of using the FSX engine.

This is a weird one, as my log appears to be all there. They should have fun figuring this one out.

Same thing happened to me 19 or 20 hours ago towards the end of a looooong flight. Notification of updated packages available, do you want to go online etc etc. Clicked ‘YES’ … and … Got the old intro video with the press any key message. It just looped to press any key. Just checked my logbook now. More than 700 hours missing along with the landing challenges, bush trips etc. Sounds the same as a lot of people and around the same time.

Got everything working again, and log book is still there.

Here is what I did.

1 Go into data and turn it on in MSFS

  1. hit save. When you do that the message will pop up Packages out of date do you want to continue, hit Yes.

3 Then you will get a screen that says Hit any key to continue. Do not do that, just close MSFS with the X in the upper right corner.

4 Restart PC, don’t shut down and startup, hit Restart in Windows

  1. Start MSFS. You will see the checking for updates spinning circle again, everything loads at normal speed, and the market is not grayed out anymore.

  2. Go to data, and you will see everything is turned on as normal.
