Game (2020) wont start from Steam (win 11) - Solved

[conejeitor]

I press Play, it loads for a bit, then it stops. It doesn´t even pass to the MSFS loading screen.
Any ideas?

Ok, you clearly like mysteries, but with providing so little information I doubt even Sherlock Holmes could help you.

Sorry, which info would be useful?
I played for 60 hrs with no issues. I´m thinking this might have happened after I installed Win 11. I have tried checking Windows and the game. I deleted the whole game and then reinstalled it: It just installed 1.9 Gb, since it doesn´t get to go to the MSFS loading screen (to download the rest of the game).

What is actually on your screen?

Do you end up with a black screen.

Maybe repair/reinstall you video card drivers.

Normally, Windows 11 should not be an issue. Have used MSFS 2020 for 4 years on Windows 11. Upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11 did not affect my games when I did it.

Did you install any updates/patches for Windows 11?

Does Task Manager show any activity from FlightSimulator.exe and if so what?

When you reinstalled MSFS did you delete (backup first) your settings folder located at:

C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator

The XXXXX is your Windows account name.

Maybe check if your anti-virus live file check is an issue for MSFS.

Without being there I can only offer suggestion for you to try.

Let me know how it goes. :)

A common problem for the game failing at this point is not having an English text to speech pack available.

Sounds reasonable.

I have the same Problem with Steam Version on Win11, since 30.01.2025.
I think since the last Update from Win11.
Have download the English Uk Pack, but this solved not the Problem.

Dont know what it is.

for me It was the latest Nvidia drivers 572.16..rolled back to the previous version and was able to get back into the sim <.<

Did you consider my suggestions?

[ViperF6]

yes yes. I downloaded the UK- Speakpackage but this not solved the problem.
