Slow initial load MSFS2024

I downloaded the game fast and started it up, but now it’s on the loading screen and hasn’t moved past 7% in a while. It says “VFS Activating Packages”.

Anyone else stuck on this loading screen? I have a 14900kf CPU too so it’s usually pretty quick with loading…

Nice introduction video, but activation from the packages takes a log time.
Be patience, with me he is now on 15% and still slowly activating.

I’m still on an i9-9900 and it’s slow at 6% (language) and 7% (vfs) as well. I’m presuming this is downloading the initial cache files and stuff and will be faster later.

On the bright side I’m not seeing the stutters I was seeing in the cinematics during the load test alpha.

I hope this is a one time deal…MSFS2020 didn’t do this

Same. stuck at Loading language

Well I wasn’t expecting to play it at 11am. Patience :wink:

93% load. I think ‘the trailer’ is nearly done with its second play.

We’re on the same page , I guess.

Be patience, it’s not stuck but slowly activating all packages.

how did yours go so fast? did it speed up after a while? i’m loading with a 14900kf and rtx4090 and it’s slow as molasses

This is why I set up a Remote Desktop viewer and am doing the initial install from work on my iPad :wink:

I was too, at 5%, for about 10mins. Now it’s still at 5% but activating packages

Hang in there people.

Mine finally went from 9% to 10%.

It will happen.
