Brief description of the issue:

The Dune activities do not work at all on Xbox series X. I have tried reinstalling both MSFS (Game Pass edition) and the expansion itself. I have adjusted various available settings on the Xbox but to no avail. Anytime a user selects ANY of the dune activities, the game will need to be restarted.
Interestingly however, the Ornithopter will be usable on any of the other world map locations on free fly mode. It’s just the custom locations for Arrakis and the activities themselves that will not load under any circumstances and selecting them forces users to restart the simulator/game all together.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

(There really is nothing to show as it’s just the standard MSFS loading bar that freezes at same location everytime)

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Start MSFS ( Game Pass version ) on Xbox series x, navigate to the activities tab, select any one of the Dune activities and start the activity. The activity will not get past the loading bar.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Blue bar gets 80% of the way quickly then crawls to the end. Once it gets to the end it still doesn’t load. Doesn’t matter which activity.

I have the same problem. Plus i cant play anymore in free flight. Whatever I do loading stops at 80%. I am also on Xbox.

Complete Joke.

Yeah really surprised that they haven’t even acknowledged this “expansion” is completely unplayable by Xbox players. I would have expected some sort of response from the developers by now. They are just flying under the radar hoping too big a stink isn’t made I guess. Maybe they don’t care about the game pass version. Who knows…

It’s the same as OP. Waited 20minutes to load multiple time. Reinstalled it. Last 10percent loads in 20 minutes then it still won’t start. I have 500GB free space on the Series X.

Yes.

Same as OP. I can fly Ornithopter when free fly. But cannot play the Activity. My Xbox series X already delete dune expansion and re-install many time. It always stuck at 80%. Event I wait ten or twenty minutes, it won’t start either.
