Unacceptable Download Speed

[Lhosson]

The thing is with the vast majority of problems I deal with on a daily base (both on the forums and Discord) are about 85% problems on the user’s end

I won’t deny the installer has problems. It has. And pretty serious ones too. And I know some people know what they’re talking about and actually tried some stuff (and you seem to be one of them )

Oh, I forgot: did you ever try to limit the FPS for MSFS? One of the bigger flaws of the installer is that it will run at maximum GPU, which will choke the system (and possibly also have an effect on the download speed, because the ethernet card will get burried too)

I have capped my fps to 30 for MSFS via nvidia settings. This results in a GPU use of 3% during updates, instead of 100%. This had also an effect on my link stability. Worth the try, although I know it sounds a bit far fetched.

Sorry, Pieter. I missed this response because of the busy thread. Not ignoring you

I’ve not capped anything in the game, but I might give that cap a try. Trouble is I also use VR so I don’t want it to mess with the VR comfort. I know what you mean though. Hearing my RTX2080Ti fan ramp up just because the launcher is running seems a bit overkill. Hopefully that will be optimized in the future.

As you can see, it looks like we might have found the problem. Hopefully it’s broader than just my situation and can help others too.

Thanks for the helpful recommendations!
