Stuck on "Checking for Updates" MSFS 2020 (11 January 2025)

Disappointed that there’s not even a public acknowledgment of the problem from Microsoft. So we don’t even know if THEY know.

Feature Request…. Allow users to sign up for email/text alerts when a server is down. Surely the MS empire could build that.

I’ve gotten to load my flight three times and CTD once I start fueling at the gate every time.

After a total of about 10 minutes “CFU” It’s loading now

Same here in New Jersey. It was running a few minutes ago. Lol. You have to laugh because you can’t get mad anymore. It seems at times the incompetence is breathtaking. I wonder what other fresh hell they have on the way…Lol. I purposely did not buy 24 for these same reasons. Oh well, in stride everyone.

Eventually got to the end of the load-in… then insta-CTD.

We know the forum staff knows and they said they would escalate if the problem persists. Presumably they have since this post.

Every thing has been fine every day for weeks, suddenly today sim hangs on Checking for Updates screen and then CTD. Nothing at my end changed since last night. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

If it’s an Asobo problem, we’re all hosed because it’s the weekend and no one is working.

that scroll bar at the bottom is moving slowly. Last time when it got to the end after 15 mins the sim showed the Main Menu and CTD’d.

No worries, it will crash in a bit and put you back on the desktop :sweat_smile:

The gift that just keeps giving. Server based gaming.

This is why I have turned from a pilot to a train driver. At least with TSW you can just fire it up and within half a minute be driving a train.

I am getting beyond fed up with MSFS. When it works it is amazing, but when it doesn’t…
