The launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was darkened by technical problems, but the developers of Asobo Studio have already released a hotston that fixes some errors and hugs. Particularly important is the change for players on PC.
If you play on a PC, outdated packs in your Community folder can unexpectedly affect the performance and behavior of the game. If you are facing stability problems or long-term downloads, move the contents of the Community folder to another place before re-start the game.
Changes in the hotspent
Stability:
- Fixed bug when choosing “As Arrival” option in EFB
- Corrected bug that occurred when closing and calling the camera menu after changing the droner’s focus mode
- Other Bugas
General corrections:
- Fixed no cursor in the Xbox Live window
- Corrected the problem of losing focus when creating a new control profile
- The choice of the aircraft is now available through the control menu, but changes are possible only from the main page
- Fixed an error, because of which players could be stuck when accessing the menu from any help page
The release of MSFS 2024 caused a huge hydgehin, which turned out to be even higher than expected by the developers. At the start, the servers experienced serious overload, which is why many players encountered queues and problems when logging into the game.
We knew that interest in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was high, but frankly, underestimated its scale, which led to the overload of our infrastructure.
Microsoft Flight Simulator CEO Jörg Neimann
The real-time cloud streaming system, which helps reduce installation size and reduce system requirements, has caused these problems. The developers were preparing for the load of 200,000 players, but the real number of connections significantly exceeded their expectations.
The hotfix has already improved stability, and the queues for entering the game, according to the developers, have disappeared.
