FS2020 update and loading screen stuck

li junchen1 · Aug 20, 2020

I just got my hand on the new Microsoft flight simulator recently and I can't be any excited, but now I'm stuck in a problem that makes me so nervous...

mine is steam edition, and at the beginning, after installing the game through steam initially the size is 500MB something, I thought it made sense since the game is being streamed from a cloud service and the content will be downloaded while playing, before
I can get to the game's main page, it asked me to install an update which was 91GB, and I can't do anything beside downloading the update...

through the halfway of downloading, the update suddenly stuck, but the internet still working perfectly.. by restarting the game, which I assume it should resume the download, it did show the remaining download size though it is still stuck, when I tried
to switch my connection, I was relieved for little bit as it didn't ask me to continue the update, and went to a loading screen directly as I thought the game will finally start, but then the loading screen also froze for hours and nothing happened......

now I'm stuck in two stages, either a download screen that keeps buffering forever, or a loading screen that will never load anything.. please help!!

this picture shows the update request

the download keeps buffering forever

by switching connection, I get to the loading screen... but it keeps loading forever

Same issue. When I installed program it checked for updates and installed them. The program loads with the blue line at the bottom going half way and then a black screen.

Have been trying for three days to download the patch to no avail.

Don’t feel bad,after getting the game finally installed I couldn’t find my hometown local airport either. I live in North Carolina and love flying around the Raleigh-Durham area,(KRDU). They added the Charolette airport which is hour away, 37,000 airports
they say😁😁

Hello all,

As this is an old thread, I will be locking this one. Updates, games and everything changes often so would be best to create a new thread. Once a new thread is created we will be happy to assist you in any issues or questions you might have.

Thanks,

Brad
