I cannot install the SU3 Beta. After spending a lot of time trying to find out how to enrol in the beta, and eventually finding Asobo have changed this process, I joined SU3. When booting up the sim its stuck on “Your game needs an update” and refuses to download even a byte of data. Total update size also shows 0.0. It eventually shows an error message. Left it for ages. Restarted sim, restarted Windows. I then opened xBox Insider and left the beta. Despite not having downed anything for SU3 Beta the sim is attempting to download some update but the issue is exactly the same - downloads nothing. I have even tried a VPN from a different country in Europe and its the same problem. SU1 and SU2 Betas worked fine previously.
Update: If I leave the beta in xbox insider, restart the pc immediately then start the sim as SU2 it runs now. Close the sim, rejoin the beta, restart pc then run sim…it fails again. Hangs with no download activity whatsoever then gives an error. Updating via MS Store or xbox app both are the same. Asobo and xbox server status pages all show no issues. I am scared to uninstall in case i get no download activity even for SU2. Ive restarted pc so many times, reset MS Store, added every sim folder to MS Defender, even disabled Defender as a test. Current internet speed tests show as normal 1150 mbps
UPDATE 2:
Uninstalled MSFS 2024
Restarted pc
Opened xbox insider
Enrolled into beta
Restarted pc
Installed MSFS 2024 through MS Store
Started sim and boom same issue with it failing to update!
What on earth is going on as I have never had issues with updates, beta or full releases. Very worried this may be a major problem when an official update is mandatory. Any advice?
