The launch of Flight Simulator 2024 has been overshadowed by significant technical challenges, leaving many players grounded and unable to take to the skies. Reports from the community highlight issues with download progress and login queues, compounded by a lack of clear solutions from Microsoft.
Flight Simulator 2024 Faces Major Launch-Day Troubles
Download Stalls Frustrate Users
The much-anticipated release of Flight Simulator 2024 has encountered turbulence right from the start. Players have been vocal about their struggles with the game's download process, with many experiencing interruptions that halt their downloads at various stages, particularly around the 90% mark. Despite trying multiple times, many users find themselves unable to progress further.
Microsoft has recognized the issue and suggested a temporary fix for those stuck at 90%, recommending a game reboot. However, for others who face complete download stalls, the advice has been to simply "wait it out." This lack of a robust solution has left many players feeling neglected and unsupported.
Login Queues Add to the Woes
Even those who manage to install the game face another hurdle: prolonged login queues due to server limitations. Players report waiting endlessly, unable to access the game's main menu, which has further fueled their frustration.
Microsoft acknowledges the problem and is working on a solution, but without a specific timeline, players are left in limbo, unsure when they'll be able to enjoy the much-hyped simulator.

While some users show understanding towards the technical difficulties inherent in launching a game of this scale, many are disappointed with Microsoft's apparent lack of readiness to handle the influx of players and the insufficient solutions provided.
Social media and online forums are buzzing with posts from frustrated users sharing their experiences. The common thread is a sense of disappointment over the lack of proactive communication and the frustration of being advised to wait without clear guidance or assurance of a swift resolution.
