No, this isn’t Asobo’s fault. This is squarely on MS / XBOX Live services. But we already know the software is capable of running without said online services. Yeah, without photogrammetry, Bing imagery, weather, traffic, etc so it wouldn’t be as pretty. They could if they wanted to make it so that we’re able to use the sim even if the online services are down.
That said, I’m sure they still have something in the EULA that protects them in case they can’t deliver on promised services. They always do.
here was me trying to help out a friend to get around this stupid error for the last error. I thought this was the known issue from before and didn’t expect such a major ■■■■■■■■. Wowzers that’s 90 min wasted for nothing…
Most probably the error message is just a random phrase because almost no one has any discs to insert nowadays… it must just be a cover-up for an insistent Xbox / MS Store server error.
Well, here at this point I noticed quite the same thing on MS Store and was able to recover all of my apps by resetting MS Store using wsreset.exe command.
It’s just looking for a way to authenticate your copy. It can’t get online services so it asks for a disc instead. I wonder if anyone with a disc can actually use the FS right now.
