@GimbalAxis I’m not suggesting anything here. Just stating my recent observations and asking a question for community support which might help to find issues with servers as well, and have more information than ‘it didnt work and i did this and now it works so that must be the golden key’
I wont deny there are problems with current design and behaviours.
@EnsiFerrum666 ofc the devs need to fix this asap. i dont want to be behind a VPN all the time when simming as it’s another step to do before flight. But you can try so we can see if there is a intermittent solution while we wait for MS/Asobo to fix this
I’m not intending “backlash” for AwesomeBlack533. I’m expressing disappointment because Forum Moderators are the only ones in a position to collect the Forum reports and highlight them for Microsoft and Asobo … which I thought was the purpose of the bug reporting aspect of this forum.
What I would love to hear from the Forum Moderators on the large collection of Network / Connection / Bandwidth issues, is “We hear you, we have collected these reports and elevated them to the developers for proper review.” The “feedback-logged” tag then silence for a long time does not provide any confidence that the issues are “heard”.
Ugh, The only thing more frustrating to me than MSFS is the logic of the Forum.
Thanks to the Forum Moderators for the work they do, but please, highlight larger ongoing issues for Microsoft. Thank you.
Not really sure is the server in the US is the faulty part … but I had this slow download rates between 12:00 and 13:00 MET today as well. Was downloading the A-310-300 patch ion the Beta channel
The forum moderators are community volunteers whose role is to ensure all posters follow the Code of Conduct. They do not have the ability to report issues to Microsoft or Asobo.
This topic has been tagged with feedback-logged, which means it has been noted by the Community Managers (CMs) and entered into our internal bug tracking tool for the dev team to triage and resolve.
Bummer…I was hoping that it was maybe…maybe…solved. Nope.
Netherlands after 6pm and after SU12 download still the issue Bandwidth.
Same story… Speedtest give me 357.44Mbps Download. (Ziggo provider and no problems with network). My issue started also after AAU1 update.
Must be the Servers from MSFS.
And Yes, it is now really busy with all the people who start downloading and flying
However one remark!
CptCanada, V1 simulation, Chewwy, 757Spy doesn’t have this issues during the online streaming sessions.
Maybe we (I) don’t see everything, so I could be wrong. And also this is no complaints to these quys.
But how is that possible? Is there a difference between the servers and/or connections for UK/US in relation to Europe?
Complaining now is even more moot since a new SU dropped and you know people called in sick to fly. So servers are maxed. I don’t have these issues either. 99% sure it’s ISP related. Would be even more helpful if people would post their internet carrier. I have yet to see someone do that. (AT&T).
…and this is exactly the kind of message that we would like to hear on this topic (and globally on this official MSFS forum) but it still arrives very late from the community management (msg #578)
Watched Captain Canada and indeed he never had the bandwidth issue.
Here in the Netherlands it is terrible.
For me this message started to appear after AAU1 update.
Todays flight 2 hours it happened 12 times.
Enabling Bing data takes for ever.
And when it’s enabled the bandwidth error pops up 1 second later etc etc.
In the Netherlands it’s really bad. It’s pretty much unplayable. Re-enabling Bing world graphics takes ages to apply. My internet isn’t the problem. I have a stable gigabit connection, so my internet shouldn’t be the issue.
I’m going to try it again now with my VPN turned on.
can confirm, also in NL, had the message again. Playing on the SOUTH EAST ASIA server. Then in menu got to the NORTH EUROPE server and reloaded Bing. Took a few minutes, did not CTD and now pretty stable again.
So the annoying message still there, but no CTD when pushing online functions to ON again. That’s a small gain in SU12. If it stays that way
Using a VPN has worked for me, obviously, this can’t be a permanent solution. But for now, this seems like a good option for people with access to a VPN.
But I really hope that this issue gets resolved by Asobo/Mircosoft ASAP.
Honestly i would say so much now … but, i dont want to get banned again just for being honest.
Its becoming more and more worse; there is no day to enjoy msfs because when the game switching data offline from behind it doenst make sense to continue flying …
this is a heavy bug and not just something just get flagged as “community feedback” … feedback is something… nothing on which developers should take the most attention to.
Landed on VATSIM in EKCH, the message showed up again. While the message is displayed you have no control over the aircraft. The pedals stop working and you have no control over the thrust levers. So I ended up in the grass beside the taxiway. Very professional . The controller probably thought I had a beer to much. No more flying today. Time for a !!
