Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been plagued by widespread technical difficulties, leaving many players grounded before they could even take flight. This article examines player reports detailing download problems and lengthy login queues, and the lack of effective solutions from Microsoft.
Flight Simulator 2024: A Rocky Launch
Download Problems Ground Players
The launch of Flight Simulator 2024 has experienced significant turbulence, with numerous players reporting major issues preventing them from playing. Download interruptions and extensive login queues have left many frustrated and unable to experience the game.
A major complaint centers around stalled downloads. Many players report downloads stopping at various points, often around 90% completion. Despite repeated attempts, many remain stuck.
Microsoft acknowledges the problem and suggests a reboot as a partial solution for those stuck at 90%. However, for those with completely stalled downloads, the only advice is to "wait," a response that has left players feeling neglected.
Login Queues Exacerbate the Situation
Download issues aren't the only problem. Even after successful installation, many players face lengthy login queues due to server capacity limitations. Players report extended waits, preventing access to the main menu.
Microsoft is aware of the server issues and is working on a solution, but without a specific timeframe, players remain uncertain when they can finally play.

Online forums and social media are filled with frustrated players detailing their experiences. The lack of proactive communication and the "wait and see" approach have fueled widespread dissatisfaction.
