World Updates won't install properly on XBOX X

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

No.

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons? If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the Community Support section.

I’ve removed and reinstalled all add-ons. No change.

Brief description of the issue:

World Updates won’t install interely on my XBOX X. When I run the updates in Content Manager, they download normally, decompress etc., but when finished it just says “update available” again. It’s only parts of the WU that refuse to install, e.g. for Australia it’s just three bush trips, but e.g. for France, Spain and Germany it’s e.g. all of the points of interest.

Problem solved.

I’ve completely removed FS from my XBox X and reinstalled it. Before installing all my add-ons, I’ve installed all the World Updates one by one and in chronological order. Only then I’ve reinstalled city updates and finally all of my other add-ons.

It’s taken me 4 days to reinstall everything (often slow download speeds (often only 2Mbps), in spite of my 300Mbps connection), but at least the World Updates all seem to be installed correctly now.

I’m getting this problem with the same 7 updates (USA and others).

Is it possible to just uninstall USA maps for instance and then re-install them all including the one that fails.

Anyone tried that? My connection is very slow so can’t re-install the hole game.

Thanks

I am having this. Oddly, it says I have everything installed, when I know for a fact I did not install the likes oj WU 1, Japan, Texas city update etc. But they all say installed.

USA 2 and 10 are doing what you describe for me. Little 1-3mb downloads but it is never fully updated.

Don’t think i can be bothered uninstalling completely

Any updates or planned fixes for this? It has been going on for three months!

Weird that this is happening to a few people yet there’s no obvious reason why or help out there

To follow up. I reinstalled MSFS. Load up first time and for some reason, half the World Updates have also installed, despite me not asking for them. Again, Some fully, some partly, clicking update doesn’t fix it. My content browser is a literal mess, and its a fresh install!

Same problem here. VERY frustrating. I saw one post that suggested deleting the rolling cache in general options and re-starting it. No joy. MS should develop a fix for this. Yes, it’s MSFS20 and 24 is coming but we all have a lot of time and money invested. What happened to cause this all of a sudden ? A program update is my guess. Come on MS ! Correct the problem !

I contacted MS/ Asobo directly and it’s an XB issue. I am just leaving it, waiting to see what 2024 is like for PC and XB users then go from there

I’ve had this issue for the last 10 months—every update and it acts like it never updated. Ridiculous.

Has anyone found cure for this?
I have six WU’s which show update available, but when updating them, they still show as update avail. I have done full uninstall of sim and re-installed it, several times again, with no help.
There is no option to uninstall those ’bad behaving’ WU’s, only option is update, which don’t work.
Only thing I haven’t done is full factory reset of xbox, but don’t want to go there….yet.
