Old Version of FS2020

[andyholey]

Is there a way within Seam to download a version of FS2020 which done include all the updates? Since the most recent upgrade (if you can call it that) I haven't been able to play the Sim due to the clouds flashing because they have made my graphics card obsolete, despite being in the list of acceptable hardware?

You could potentially download an old version of the part you get from Steam but the bulk of the content comes from Microsoft servers which I don't believe has any means of grabbing older file versions.

same problem here!

I'd go to my Video card's web site and download the latest driver.

It's a known issue, I would log a ticket to at least give them an idea of how wide spread this is. Apparently not very many complaints since we haven't seen a out of band hotfix yet for it or perhaps they're still working on the fix.

I think the recent updates made the graphics worse. I see a lot more aliasing and flickering textures.

I personally back my sim up to a HDD so I would have a means of restoring to a previous version HOWEVER, MFS is a client/server online application that at least currently and probably indefinitely doesn't officially support multi-version clients. To pull this off I'd have to block online connectivity otherwise an update would probably be triggered. I've not tested if the sim would even load without online connectivity but it might. I really have no desire to test this since the sole advantage to MFS is it's online streaming.

My reason for backup is in case of failure or need to update storage which I just did to move from a 240GB SSD to 1TB without the need to reinstall. A nightmare scenario would be my SSD failing and having to go out and redownload all these addons again let alone the application...AHHH!

If I had the cloud issue I'd either use a clear sky preset or try creating custom presets like fog levels or exploring if there's a cloud type or graphic setting that could work around the issue and hoping like hell it's fixed in today's update.
