Was it like that since the initial installation or did you try to update the original setup ?. If you changed any value, please add what you did in the steps to reproduce, it will help the devs and users to try to reproduce.

Is that the same issue than reported here ?: Rolling cache defaults to 0 after having increased it from 16 to 32

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Rolling Cache Cannot Be Changed or Saved in MSFS 2024

After a recent update, MSFS 2024 started stuttering after ~20 minutes of flight. Upon investigation, I found that the Rolling Cache location was still pointing to an old MSFS 2020 directory (which doesn’t exist on this PC) and was stuck at 0.0 GB. Attempts to change the cache folder to a new location (e.g., C:\rolling cache) result in an “Invalid rolling cache size” error, even when using valid numeric values (e.g., 8.0, 16.0 GB). After saving, the cache folder reverts to the old MSFS 2020 path, and the size resets to 0.0 GB. I have tried full reinstalls (removing MSFS 2020, using Revo Uninstaller), changing permissions, deleting potential cache locations, and checking for hidden registry entries—none have resolved the issue. The game does not appear to properly save Rolling Cache changes, preventing its use entirely.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

No

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every flight as there is no rolling cache

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Rolling cache is 0.0 using a path that does not exist on this pc,
  2. I click path option on the field and choose say C:\rolling cache folder i created and allows me to select the folder and gives me an an error “invalid rolling cache size” with a message that says selected size for the rolling cache is not a numeric value, I can click through the errors and end up with rolling cache reflecting the value i chose and C:\rolling cache will appear as the folder. I will save and then comer to verify and it returns to a cache limit of 0.0 and the path that does not exist
