Severe Problems on Xbox After Sim Update 9

Has there even been an official statement regarding the status of the Cloud version?

They were telling us to use it in lieu of the actual Xbox version whilst the startup CTD issue existed, but your experience is that it won’t boot either?

I am playing on cloud mine wont load hasnt for the past few days get message “game has stopped unexpectedly” still same today as of 29 minutes ago

I tend to fly the A320 a lot too and after doing the update flew for 2 hours but unfortunately whilst about to intercept the ILS it banked hard right and started dropping out of the sky at which point I turned it off. This isn’t the first time it’s done this and at the time this happened the route line disappeared off the MDCU which has happened numerous times before.

I had a good two days but this afternoon hit a stutterfest in the TBM. Ended flight in end as got virtually unflyable - whilst it started to stutter the MFD airfield symbols started to flash on and off then the icons changed. Only positive is that I’d normally have had a CTD - which didn’t happen.

Ended flight, tried a VFR outing in the Skymaster - smooth as siik, no stuttering - only difference was that I turned Live Weather off. But I tried that to end the stuttering on thr TBM - didn’t work

Link to video Clip below - I’m not running the beta and haven’t downloaded WU 9. Xbox X.

That bizzare false download I thought was a major part of the issues with SU9. I haven’t really flown in a week just wanted to know if I have ANYTHING to look forward to tonight or should I roll the racing rig in front of the TV instead. :grinning:

I ping 5 to the east coast server and 50 to the west coast, so connection is pretty stable for me, if the server’s up to it.

Guess I’ll temporarily remove global shipping main d/l and the virgin Islands(but keep St Maarten) and try some island hopping. At least all the runways on virtually every island for 100 miles have approaches from the water.

I take it that’s the new ultimate camping aircraft? For those that think the Caravan can’t bring enough for the vacation trip. Cessna Bungalow?

The A/P on the default Airbus is a mess. I suggest just vectoring yourself into a position using HDG to intercept the localiser and press APPR, then turn on the A/P. It worked for me.

Build 1.25.12.0 is live now. Unfortunately it doesn’t fix any issues mentioned in the OP, only the startup crashes. More details here: New Xbox Build 1.25.12.0

Something has changed somewhere beyond fixing the startup CTD brought on by WU9, because I’m no longer seeing the Core Content download issue nor the delay when clicking the World Map tile.

My feeling is server-side. They must be doing more than they are communicating. How else can we account for these two changes?

I really loathe how we are always left to play the speculation game.

I’ve noticed this too recently before the patch. I thought it was just my Xbox

It also takes a little longer to fully load the game.

Have they maybe done something and not even realised it? As the saying goes;

True, the UI stutters and the World Map freeze is gone for me as well. Let’s hope that it was a server-side fix that will remain like this, because finally the UI at least works as it’s supposed to. :crossed_fingers: The splash screen also progresses much faster, probably 8-10 seconds as in the good old days, and not 89 as after Sim Update 9. Again, let’s hope this is due to server tinkering.

I did have a random CTD during a flight today, but that was before updating the game. It might have been caused by a server hiccup, who knows. I’ll obviously continue testing and fly more tomorrow. Some of the issues, therefore, seem to be gone for now which is cause for optimism for sure. Knock on wood, I haven’t had missing waypoints / freezing avionics in the past 2 days either. :crossed_fingers:

All my fingers and toes are crossed. That said, I hope the developers will answer the questions about the state of the Xbox version in the next Q&A and they’ll continue working on making it more stable, because it’s probably still not where it was prior to Sim Update 9.

I confirm

Completly broken from high altitude

Also this hotfix for startup ctd was released on a Saturday, the team must be working round the clock to sort these issues, so although we shouldn’t be getting these issues a big thank you to the devs for getting the hotfix out quickly, and hopefully going forward SU10 will contain more performance improvements and fixes.

No more problem with Constraints/ND

Still missing all the waypoints in world map

VFR map freezed in my first flight, worked in the second.

hello im just confused on what’s what from all these hotfixes, betas and all the updates trying to follow…is it safe now to download WU9 Italy? any issues? thanks- Xbox series x

i would not down load WU9 yet.
there was a “hotfix” for SU9 last week, which as long as i stayed away from mainland Europe really helped my sim out.
their has been another patch today Saturday 21st ,after having two hours of fun this afternoon before the patch now post patch on my second CTD.

So, another test flight in the Neo, from Liverpool (Asobo) to Jersey (payware). Live weather and time, AI traffic. Only a short hop but no problems at all. No stutters, no nothing, pretty smooth, vectored myself for the ILS, no issue.

Hmm… I’m sceptical that this is some sort of weird anomaly, like I’m thinking ‘surely this can’t carry on’ because I’ve been used to crashes galore since SU9. When really I should be embracing this sudden change in fortunes.
