Rediculously long loading times

[drumbri]

Ridiculously LONG LOADING TIME in free flight mode now. How is this an issue now when it worked FAR FASTER a few weeks ago. ASOBOZO and microsoft are incompetent and seem to be chasing they're own tail. They fix a few bugs only to CREATE DOZENS MORE. I wish STEAM would do something on our behalf. These company's are making millions for worthless garbage and STEAM & VALVE do nothing on behalf of their loyal customers.

Loads with a couple of minutes for me.

Yes Steam takes your money just like the game companies so I guess you dislike Steam too?

Asobo does fix stuff, but like a lot of devs working on live service games, they’ve got a habit of fixing one thing and accidentally breaking three others in the process. It’s annoying as hell, and trust me, you’re definitely not the only one fed up with it but no point stressing if you cannot do anything about it.

As for Steam? They’ve got nothing to do with the sim itself—they’re just the storefront. Unless the game literally doesn’t launch or comes with a free virus, Steam’s not getting involved.

Your best shot right now is to:

Clear your rolling cache
Temporarily move your Community folder somewhere else and see if that helps
And then wait for the next hotfix to hopefully undo whatever nonsense the last update caused

Factors in slow load times.
- Your connection speed may be one factor in how long it takes. This includes the connection speed between your computer and the internet, wired/wireless. Use a online tool to text your connection seed.
- Does your ISP throttle your internet after so much use? Many ISP have a cap on data usage and with MSFS 2024 being a streaming platform - it does not take long to reach your limit.
- Your hardware; Are you using old fashion spinning drives.
- Make sure all background task are shut down and if using a PC run in game mode.

-- If you are bold enough turn off your Antivirus when launching MSFS at least until you get everything loaded up. (not recommended - just a thought)

My load time is normally less than a minute.

This is why the game should NOT be run by servers.

If MSFS 2024 was all stored on your PC it would absolutely massive in size.

I feel the bugs in this game are not systemic or static for everyone. I suffer from no such thing as long load in. Not since day one have I had a long load in. I also don't suffer some of the plane bugs others do. I feel if it was a game problem..then EVERY single person that owns a copy of this game would suffer the exact same problem. I know no one want it to be them but in some cases it is them and not the game.

My house of servers beside my main residence are already full.

[Ranold Arzenschwegger🕹]

Same problem.

It is definitely not due to the speed of the Internet line and definitely not to the hardware. My colleague and I have the same problem. We both have high-end PCs and fast internet connections.

There is probably a massive problem with the servers at the moment.

I have similar problems since the first MSFS 2024 update with nearly the same configuration. Neither complete Windows 11 re-installation (with no additions), nor any other settings helped (and I spent now 4 weekends with 16 hours).

Here is my configuration.
Windows 11 Pro
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF, 3200 MHz, 24 Kern(e), 32 logische(r) Prozessor(en)
Graphich: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
(RAM) 64,0 GB
Ethernet / Internet: 1000 MBit/s

What I have tried:
- New Router
- WLAN instead of Ethernet cable
- No add ons
- No additional content in community folder
- Old NVIDIA graphic driver (December)
- Several different configuration (e.g. low graphics, no voice, ....).

Any suggestions what else I could check?

It's dependent on where you load in. Chicago and most of Florida will not load atm. You can test it yourself. It's a server-side issue.
