Dear Microsoft and Asobo,
I’m feeling extremely frustrated as I am still experiencing intermittent stuck in “press start” mode. I’ve spent countless amount of my time (I.e. hours) and applied some of the suggestions, rebooted the computer, then restarted MSFS2020 to get this to work, but with NO success.
In all my time playing some PC games, including all versions of Microsoft flight simulator, I have NEVER encountered continual problems just to start up a game. Come on Microsoft, this is ridiculous!! You cannot call your game “The game of the year” then ask your loyal paying customers to spend their time just to get the game to load up. Unacceptable!!
Is it too much to ask that when I double click on the game icon, that it will load up the first time, every time??
I’m on the latest version of MSFS2020, and have tried the suggested methods to resolve i.e. move all files from the community folder before starting. I have deleted the rolling cache as well (multiple times) and no longer have this selected.
Sometimes I’m able to get into the Sim as it gives me the option to start the Sim in ‘safe mode’. This happens when I close the Sim via the TaskManager. But the next day I come back to starting up the Sim, the same problem happens!
I also have the PC Xbox app installed and logged in to my account. All programs were installed using ‘Admin’ mode.
Please Microsoft… fix this basic problem for all of us.
Does anyone have any further suggestions?
Note : I also tried upgrading to Windows 11…… what an absolute waste of time! The program would not recognise my Nvidia video card and defaulted to the inboard ■■■■■■ graphics card. Lucky I was in the 10 day grace window period and I rolled back to windows 10.
