I think it’s poorly optimised, certainly for the console. If indeed it is a memory leak, hopefully they’ll sort it. But having said that, rumoured memory leak issues have apparently persisted since launch, and if there is a correlation between that and the big increase in CTD’s since SU9, it’s gotten worse. So let’s just say I’m not particularly optimistic at this point.
Currently on an enforced hiatus from the sim myself, as the exponential rise in crashes has sucked the enjoyment out of it for me, for the moment.
A memory leak is a software defect. It will crash your game eventually, no matter how much RAM your system has. Defects are supposed to be corrected by the developers.
it’s like it always is. everything has already been said. just not by everyone… The Xbox does a relatively good job. MSFS is unfortunately not yet where it could or should be. I think in a year that looks quite different. Until then, we have no other choice but to come to terms with what is put in front of us; actively, to support the developers in troubleshooting or in case of doubt to change the platform. My 2 cent
Too many issues. CTDs, stuttering, FPS droppings, and this without third part add-ons nor Dev mod/tab (since doesn’t exist on Xbox). And this since SU9. The only add on were the world updates 7,8,9 (Australia, Iberia, Italy/Malta) other the already autoinstalled by the Premium Deluxe Edition. Before the SU9, Xbox Series X version marched well, since it and though the 1.25.9.0 and the 1.25.12.0 downloaded from Xbox Insider App the sim has troubled me with all these issues.
This is what i mean by “horrible”: almost unplayable.
And note: that i also tried every steps and followings Microsoft suggested me: logging out from my Xbox and Microsoft account either as console and the game to relog in after, uninstalling and reinstalling the sim, power cycling and hard resetting the console into factory default settings (without deleting games and savings) to after restoring my account and it’s relative settings…
Nothing, what can I say? The problem is the game!
These two files show the zone, first, and the waypoint nearby, second, where i experienced today the last of the many CTDs.
They occur randomly, but very often if not every time
For testing purposes, you should try different planes and see if you get the same results. For many, it can be aircraft\sim\add-on related and this is one way to troubleshoot.
Maybe, after i finish my trip to Tromso with A 320 neo, i might consider making a tour of the Giza Pyramids with Cessna 152, the aircraft of the tutorial. I already used it.
I’m curious, what do the fps droppings look like? I hope they didn’t leave too much of a mess…
Anyway, have you tried deleting the rolling cache and then playing the game with it entirely off? What about setting different sizes? Start with 8-16 then work your way up to 32-64. Whichever one shows the least stuttering is the ideal setting. But you’d have to do a lot of testing. It’s hit or miss.
I find that the game stutters more in specific locations like London City and certain Italian towns since world update 10, like Bologna and others.
Look, the game is still a work in progress, so it’s definitely not your console. Everybody’s getting stutters, PC or Xbox. Although those with $2500+ rigs may hardly be getting them or not getting them at all - oddly, I’ve read reports of the sim misbehaving and showing performance issues even on ridiculously expensive rigs
Asobo are working on it I’m sure and with time it will only get better. I’m sensing there’s even going to be an fps boost for console users at some point. Let’s see - stay positive, mate
Thanks very much, you’re restoring my faith and hope for an improving evolution of Asobo/Microsoft ‘s work, I’ll follow your counseil.
By the way, rolling cache is already off, since on OPTION - GENERAL - DATA, together with the data consumption they are no longer shown on DAT aettings’ list… So consider my following your suggestions about practically and already on…
Thanks again, just pass me eventual news about some hotfixes/patches/bug fixes, etc…
I am glad to have encountered a good soul who gave me useful explanation about Microsoft Flight Simulator Xbox Series X version and it’s ventures and misfortunes
Turn everything live off except for Bing and photogrammetry. Set rolling cache to 100gb. Now,at least frequently visited locations should stutter less. Also, you wanna keep your room reasonably cool while playing flight simulator.
Good counseil. I will try to turn off the online settings leaving on those you indicated me except for the rolling cache wich is actually impossible to find and manage, therefore I am expecting the fix of this bug and as DATA CONSUMPTION and ROLLING CACHE settings return again available to set, i will follow even this counseil (what, if i try to set ROLLING CACHE to 200 gb?)
