Your bandwidth is too low (February/March/April 2023)

I’m getting straight CTD’s now, you can see the live weather going crazy, then then PG goes melted chocolate then a CTD. Was fine yesterday.

I just started the sim and wanted to fly a lap. After the very long loading, the message → your Bandwidth is too low…

Another night when you can’t play.

When will this finally be fixed?

West Germany

I got bitten again today by the Low Bandwidth bug… turning into offline mode then back to online mode had no effect at all…

Middle Netherlands here.

And again just a moment agot. Flying in Hawaii, sitting in South Germany.

What can I say.
Time for a D check.
Sim is unusable and still no news about why this became an issue for so many (for me after AAU1) and others after SU12.

I’m losing hope this will be fixed soon

The Netherlands, Western European Server. During take off crash in the trees and select restart, click on fly, and then the dreaded low bandwith message pops up and the game freezes. Had to end it with the taskmaster.

We are back again… Nice :confused:

constantly disconnecting here.
i’m on a gigabit fiber network with 0 package loss.

i haven’t flown in a long time, wanted to come back and do one.
and i had this like 4 times in the last 15min.
constantly have to go back into the settings to enable bing data.

Honestly, I was shocked when in the latest development update video they said, they had trouble reproducing the issue. How do they not have a possibility to monitor the load on the servers worldwide when having a stable connection is absolutely crucial to the sim working at all?

same here, Germany. Ths is so annoying. It happens every day around those times. Near impossible to fly in evening hours here. My bandwith is fine, its gtting lost on the route to you.

Today I fley over New Zealand and had alot of this bandnwidth problem, to the point where I landed on a field were the airfield could not be seen at all.
But after that flight I made a new flight (without restarting) over Norway.
I didn’t get the bandwith problem a single time! But a butter smooth flight with great scenery!

Yes I know, this problem was reported before the last WU, but could there be a link to the problem?
All of my last flights over New Zealand had the bandwidth problem.
Flying somewhere else … no problems!
Ok I must admit that I currently fly less because of the problem.

It’s happening everywhere.
Flying in Europe, Asia, North America, etc.

Still getting this server side error. Fix it pls. :frowning_face:

I am sorry…throttle goes up and down at will. …james

Same here in Southern Germany. Loading into a flight took around 5 minutes and went into the bandwidth message right away.

Together with a team we made a lot of traces and analyzed them with Wireshark and at those moments when the bandwidth error is there it’s at that exact moment there is no response from the servers where Bing data is located.

It’s difficult to make this kind of analysis because of missing info from Microsoft.
But when the message appear there is no response whatsoever

Sometimes when the loading is slow we also see many retries on tcp level which makes it slow.

That’s all I want to add.

And feel free to change everything at your side but it’s not a client issue.

For me I say goodbye for now and see if it’s fixed later on this year.

Same here since today, Netherlands too. Weird thing is that I get this message constantly when starting a flight at different spots in the world (Japan for example, loading takes ages too) but when I start a flight in the Netherlands the loading is done within a minute and I don’t get this bandwidth error :-/

It’s happening here as well (Germany). A couple of hours ago I got blurries while flying over Scotland, and now, on a flight near the Congo River, I can’t manage to switch on Bing graphics at all.

I just keep getting the “bandwidth too low” message (it’s defnitely not too low on my end) and get switched back to offline mode.

Do you use Rolling Cache and you fly in the Netherlands a lot? If so, you probably still have the Bing textures for a big part of the Netherlands stored on your drive, so the server issues aren’t a problem there.

Same here, constant bandwidth too low message in the London area.

Getting this error too, in the Netherlands
