FlightSim 2024 1.5.27.0 Steam
1 Gb/sec ethernet connection 9800X3D RTX4070S 64GB Ram
all sim files live on one of three NVMe drives dedicated to FS2024
Have been flying happily in 1.5.27.0 since it was released. Flew for an hour earlier today with beautiful scenery and excellent performance. During that flight the Community folder contained 10 files and 25 linked files including several detailed airports and aircraft. Shut the sim down with “Quit to Desktop” with normal end.
Sim took 120 seconds to get to Loading World Data 90% the next time I started the sim. It then stalled at that point and needed another 4 minutes to get to 97% where it remained for the next 30-minutes.
I emptied the Community Folder of every file. I edited exe.xml so no add-on programs would load. I did not manually start any addon programs.
Again, Sim took 120 seconds to get to Loading World Data 90% the next time I started the sim. It then stalled at that point and needed another 4 minutes to get to 97% where it remained for the next 30-minutes.
I deleted all cache, scenery indexes, streamed packages - still stuck at 97%
I used Ookla Speed Test several times during each load process to verify my ethernet connection to the internet was running at greater than 900Mb/sec. Occasionally the loading process tells me it has lost the internet connection but then immediately says the connection is re-established. The network monitor shows the sim loads at a rate of 8 to 40 Mbs up until it stalls at 90% loaded. The sim then loads at 0 to 40 Kbs/sec until I stop the loading process at 30-minutes.
When stuck at 97% the sim is repeatedly:
TCP RECONNECT

TCP RECEIVE
READ PressStartVideo-4K this command repeats dozens of times while sequencing thru 6 MB of file
The above sequence then restarts and ends with the READ video at the location it stopped in the prior sequence
I replace the Press StartVideo with a 640K .mp4 and ran the sim again. The result was the same sequence as above but it just kept reading the start video all over from byte 0. I let the sim run for 45-minutes and it never ended the above sequence.
