So after installing the Beta, my first step was to update all my packages, for max stability, but everytime i goto install batches of completed downloads, im getting lots of failed installs (with red triangle, often disables the package also)
While some can be re-tried many dont do anything when i click retry. often the only other option is to Uninstall, instead of cancel, but sometimes cancel is there instead of Uninstall too.
If it auto disables the package, or you uninstall the failed package, there doesnt seem to be a way to re-enable it OR re-install it, theres just nothing in the bottom right corner once you select it
to reproduce try update several packages in batches.
On a side note, a separate tab at the top, with all packages that have available updates, would be nice, instead of sifting through the groups 1 by 1, trying to find updates
I just cancelled all the failed ones, went out of library, but when i went back in to re-download them, they appear to have actually installed. Must be a bug, i dont think i got it individually installing them though, just when installing several at once?!
Thereās a way to deal with that. Click update and let it download everything. When itās done, close the simulator and go to your Official2024 folder. Youāll notice duplicate files with the same name, except one ends with .temp. Remove the original folder, then rename the one with .temp by taking off the .temp part. Thatās it, the update will be applied.
actually, tell a lie, these ones disabled, and i have no way to re-enable them. Might have to try @Empire9943 ās idea. See how theyre selected but nothing in bottom right
I did some testing and actually found a little trick that worked for me, LOL. What I did was download the updates, but not all of them at once; I took them one by one or in smaller groups. Once the download finished, I clicked Install, and a couple of the files did install normally. After that, I went back to the main menu and then into the Library again. When I did this, the updates that were showing before disappeared, and it now showed the game as fully installed and up to date.
It also seems like each of us is getting different outcomes from this. For me I never see the red warning that says āinstallation failed,ā but I know some of you do.
I did this last SU3 beta. Now the Base content that has 300GB fails repeatedly. I think the architecture of this is really not good.
Instead of āOne click updateā that would work we have this āselectā each one by one then try to download then try to updated and if you have fails is a huge headache.
And for a patch we basically have to download 400GB or something similarā¦
for example thisā¦ I am trying to understand the logic of this, is there any? Look how one updates the other doubledā¦ You can see on the ones in the middle that ar grey not orange how it says ready to install although they are incompleteā¦ if you download once and just go to downloads you will be confused because there you see only whatās completedā¦ but it says ready to install as opposed to what it said at start : āupdate availableā. And the fact that they are doubledā¦ bogs the mindā¦
And this is not only this time I updateā¦ lookā¦ I have finished to download the gre ones above and installed themā¦ actually just one but it installed its double ofcourse alsoā¦ but more than that the double bellow got āinstalledā magically when the grey ones finishedā¦ and now we can see it says installed (because it says uninstall) but 0 out of 70ā¦ seriouslyā¦ there are parts of this sim that I really think are just scaffolding only and the āleadershipā thinks is a complete part there because they have no time to check.
itās not my point to spam etcā¦ but please look how it looks insideā¦ so now is magically installed by previous category but looks 0 out of 70 and when you open it is like this:
We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.
In my case, I not only had several āUpdatesā fail, I also found that NONE of the so-called āUpdatesā are actually updates in the true sense of the word. Instead, when you click on Update, the entire file downloads rather than just a patch. In MSFS 2020, when you update data, you only have to download a patch, not the entire file. Iām already at my data limit for the month because I downloaded then entire 450 GB data package twice in one month in order to apply āUpdates.ā The entire Update system for MSFS 2024 needs to be overhauled so that it works the same way MSFS 2020 does.
I had this issue with SU3 already. At the time the consensus was to simply uninstall all downloaded packages and download them again. Annoying but it works, did the same for SU4.
So i just switched to Su4 Beta and now i have to update all my packages. Its not just a small update, i have to install everything again. Thats not the first time that MSFS24 duplicates data for no reason.
Is that intended or just a bug?
My Internet is very slow. I dont want to download 300GB again
As I noted above, I have exactly the same issue. Ever since the option to download MSFS 2024 data came online, the āUpdatesā have not been updates in the true sense of the word, but rather redownloads of data in their entirety. Contrast that with the update process in MSFS 2020 where the updates are merely patches to existing data.
Bottom line, the entire āUpdateā process in MSFS 2024 needs to be completely overhauled to conform with the approach used in MSFS 2020. Otherwise, we will all be burning up internet data limits for no reason.
Same problem over here. Switched to SU4, and then having to download all the packages again. Itās an infuriating process, even with a gigabit connection:
Select all packages, download packages.
Several downloads fail.
Redownload the failed packages.
When all packages are downloaded, install.
Several packages fail to install.
But you canāt just reinstall the packagesā¦ No, you have to redownload them again.
Several downloads fail.
Redownload the packages.
Reinstall the packages.
Several packages fail to installā¦
Yeah, I could go on like this forever. It makes me want to throw my PC out the window, but the poor thing canāt help it.
It now appears that not only do we get many failed installs but I now have the problem that even the ones that were āsuccessfullyā installed have ādisappearedā and are now listed as Streaming
