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

the same problem here (in germany). It must be an issue on Sever Side to be fixed by MS., hopefully soon. I started receiving this message after the last Sim Update, apparently something went wrong beside the (fixed) live weather issue.

Just try to delete(move temporally) this two files I mentioned above.

I did 4 flights since then and didn’t get any messages and have any issues with online functions

An interesting point. Microsoft state the following:

So anything over 50mbps should suffice. but I suspect that when these requirements were made the product back then is not what we have now. Similar discussions have been made regarding graphics cards I believe, where cards that used to be supported are not any more, causing graphical issues. Some may remember the flickering skies that some AMD users had.

I sat 8 hours in front of mine flying the DC-6 from KSFO to PHNL.

Perhaps I am insane. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

You’re not insane :nerd_face:
I think rather you have a demand on yourself:

I just had it too - Bandwidth message. Turning Data on in the menu caused a CTD.
It’s frustrating when the whole game experience is based on web data. Hope this will be fixed fast.

You are mistaken. In no game scenario are ~100 Mbps too low. If it was like that for Microsoft Flight Simulator, it would be dead long ago.

Last weekend server problems and now again? Is this supposed to go on every weekend?

Not enough bandwidth? 950 Mbps is too little for the MSFS?

i have the same problem right now, no connection, and for two days now with the x52 hotas a problem only in msfs, last week live weather. maybe the manufacturers do it extra to keep us players from needing electricity who knows. Because at Ubisoft the same problem is every week at rainbow six siege

Edit: Wrong topic

Your measurement says you connect with this speed to some random server with which was automatically select as it has a good ping :wink:

What your measurement does not say if you have a good enough connection to the server used by MSFS to provide you needed data.

However wording is off as the issue never is about bandwidth in general but some slow connection between your client and at least one of the servers on Microsofts end :wink: it must not be your connection itself but it can be a DNS server on the way or some other ISP related thing.

Without knowing the exact server affected you cannot measure the connections quality to this single endpoint.

Yes, I know it’s not my fault, it’s Microsoft’s or Asobo’s fault. That’s why I posted it here.

By the way, this first started with the last fix that was supposed to fix the weather problems.

Sorry, did you read what I wrote?

What I actually wrote was the specs that are listed I believe are the same as they were in 2020. But things have changed since then so maybe 50 isn’t enough anymore. And yes, I know you are getting 100mbps.

nope
 you just enjoy the simulator and not waste energy-power while you sleep. The big benefit, beside of safe our planets resources: like in real life you can immediately react on emergency cases :slight_smile:

I don’t use the map enhancement. It also happens with Bing.

Whether or not you use it isn’t the critical part. What matters is whether it (or something else) has made changes to your hosts file (or your lmhosts) that affects connectivity.

They’re simple text files: you can easily look at the contents, though it’s easier if you run your text editor as admin.

Yeah thanks. I know. But my hosts is untouched (checked right now to be sure).

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

no

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons?

yes

Brief description of the issue:

I have a good internet connection. Please fix your servers.
This should not be happening. The game loads for 30 minutes, then says bandwidth is too low. After the flight was loaded after an eternity, I put the data back on in the options, it suddenly all works again. So what now? Bandwidth too low or not.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Load a flight

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

100 Mbit internet connection

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

1.13.12.0

Topic moved into Bug Reporting.

MSFS takes about 16 minutes to load since Feb 11th

I deliberately delayed the latest PMDG update to make sure this wasn’t the cause of the delayed startup time.

EDIT: It seems the loading-time / Bandwith problems have been solved (Feb 13th).

So I disabled the use of my community folder and restarted MSFS. But it still took 16 minutes to start.
The last two days I’m also getting this ‘warning’:

As far as I know there’s nothing wrong with my bandwith


Am I missing something
???

Btw
 I recently changed my name from “RadYew” to my current one. The new name sounds a lot better I think :wink:.
