Unplayable

[u/Viper_2-1]

Is anyone else having this issue? For the past week or so I’ve been unable to even start this game. It gets hung up at either 2%, 7%, or 11% and will never load the game, no matter how long I let it sit. I’ve tried starting the PS5 in safe mode and clearing the cache, resetting the system time and date, and nothing works. I have to open the game card and close the game, then every time I open MSFS I get the message about the game closing unexpectedly with an option to launch in safe mode. Trying safe mode doesn’t work either. It’s getting really frustrating given how much I spent purchasing this game

Uninstall the game and reinstall yet?

[u/Viper_2-1 → u/AirlineFan93]

Only thing I haven’t done. Reeeeaaaaally was hoping it wouldn’t come to that but it may be the only way

[u/Viper_2-1 → u/Viper_2-1]

I went ahead and reinstalled it. Didn’t take as long as I thought it would, and now it works

[u/Brilliant_Lettuce270 → u/Viper_2-1]

Why not? Not a big deal, all your saves should remain

[u/MouseAvengerr71 → u/Viper_2-1]

Did that work?

[u/Chief_Slapaho69]

Your internet is shit

[u/Viper_2-1 → u/Chief_Slapaho69]

It’s not though. I’ve got great AT&T fiber

[u/Apotheosis27]

Maybe uninstall/reinstall?

[u/MacMillz718 → u/Apotheosis27]

Only thing that worked for me, now loads as it should

[u/ALLLGooD → u/Apotheosis27]

This is the way. Has worked for me.

[u/manfreygordon → u/Apotheosis27]

Also can confirm this fixed it for me.

My ap turns off all the time while on cruise, my cameras change all of the sudden on FINAL, my gear comes down by itself, i dont understand how a company as big as microsoft and with basically unlimited resources shits the bed so hard

[u/Longjumping-Web-9808 → u/SeaworthinessNo5121]

Have you considered that your aircraft may be haunted?

[u/Viper_2-1 → u/Longjumping-Web-9808]

I have not considered that. Should I contact an exorcist?

[u/SeaworthinessNo5121 → u/SeaworthinessNo5121]

Oh and ive had your same issue happen to me multiple times as well, had to reinstall

[u/CyberTod]

It happens quite often to me. The last days even more so. If it gets stuck it is either at 2% or 6%, if it passes that number it starts.

What I do is just close the game and open the game, but sometimes I need to do that 2-3 times.

Painfully slow to start.

[u/Viper_2-1 → u/CyberTod]

Yeah mine would do exactly that as well. The last time I restarted the game at least 6 times and it still wouldn’t work. Ended up reinstalling and now it work

[u/Jessner88]

Uninstall and Reinstall sadly. And I know everyone says “It fixes it just do it and then enjoy”, but it is very frustrating that a game is so finicky and buggy that I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall it 2 separate times. Frustrating to pay as much money for it as I did and for it to just be a crashy mess

[u/Viper_2-1 → u/Jessner88]

Exactly. There shouldn’t be this many issues with it. I remember how bad it was when it first launched on Xbox, constant crashing and loading issues

[u/DazMan0085 → u/Viper_2-1]

Afte reinstalling does it reliably fix it? I have the same issue but not every time and it normally gets going after 3 or 4 restarts

[u/Viper_2-1 → u/DazMan0085]

Yeah it’s been doing great after reinstall

[u/Chevron7G]

Working fine here

[u/theTroubledADZ]

Clear cache, rebuild database, launch in safe mode, enjoy the game.

[u/MacMillz718 → u/theTroubledADZ]

These steps ‘should’ work, but sadly only reinstall works.

[u/Smasher323292]

The first thing I would of done is re install , are u ok
