stusue Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I hate to a a complainer because all in all I love MSFS but I started downloading this latest update at 8PM and it's now 12:14 am and I'm at 20 gigs downloaded so I've got another 10+ to go. Average 10-14 mb/s. Absolutely REDICULOUS. this is like dialup. Tried an ethernet cable and that didn't help. Turned off activirus and that didn't help either. Next update I guess I'll try a VPN. I'm in Canada and I suspect that has something to do with it. Even though I'm on bell fibre optic and my average download speeds around 90 MBs.

KiloWatt Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I haven't tried to update yet, but in Halifax I've always had an update stpeed of about 10 Mb/s, despite otherwise achieving an internet connection of 110 Mb/s. I've tried a few things to no avail, but have now come to just accept letting my PC run for a few hours and doing something else during that time.

I'm in Canada and I suspect that has something to do with it. Even though I'm on bell fibre optic and my average download speeds around 90 MBs. I too have suffered with slow speeds as well (despite being at 500+ MBS). Everyone is downloading at the same time I suspect is the reason for the slow speeds. One thing I did discover, is to watch for packages which get stuck decompressing and you are downloading the same one over and over, and not progressing. That happened to me yesterday.

stusue Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Thank you for your responses. I finished downloading all the updates including those in content managed at around 3am. Restarted my computer afterwards and tan MSFS for about 5 mins. Seems pretty good. I'll do more investigating today. Next time I'll try a VPN and pretend I'm in the US. Thanks again all....

fersoft Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Thank you for your comments! I only have 40 - 60 MBit/s and have been trying to download about ten times the latest update since it came out. I always get stuck at the same place (59% of downloadinf microsoft-airport-lsza-lugano-0.9.2.fspackage.002" or 9% of total (2,03GiB / 23,52GiB). Don´t you rather think this is an error of the downloading procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobalt Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 If your download gets stuck (which happens occasion during updates), close the program and restart -- it will pick up the download where it left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fersoft Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Thank you for your feedback. That´s what I have been doing now ten times...and it got stuck again. SO really don´t know if it will get better in some days when less persons download the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobalt Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) OK, try this (works for me). During the download, go into File Explorer and open the folder Official/OneStore/fsbase../ into which the files are being downloaded, which should be easy to find while the download is going on. Find the file whose name ends in "part" and delete it -- this is the one getting stuck in a loop. Close MSFS and re-start. This should do the trick. (If the download still gets stuck, repeat and delete a few more recently downloaded files (which will rewind the download to a slightly earlier stage) and re-start MSFS.

Guest Robert455 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hey guys, I only saw this tip this morning and so haven’t tried it to know if it works but there was a post on flightsimulator.com that discussed how to fix the slow downloads. It apparently has to do with your Windows update settings. I’m not looking at the page and going by memory, but there is a setting to use peer to peer (basically a bit torrent kind of connection). I keep that turned off normally so slogged trough the update in a 9 hour download even though I have a faster connection. I know it doesn’t help this go round but next update I’ll try allowing peer to peer connections and see if that actually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try change the DNS address of your internet service some time this help speed up the download, My son did this option for me so I get a good download when I play the sim.

Rexbo47 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 That particular file is HUGE. Just walk away and let it run. It will DL eventually, at least it did for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexbo47 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 It's not my DL speed that's the problem (+/- 40 Mb/s). It's the overloaded MS servers. I'm currently getting 2.4 Mb/s. Pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfierce Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Mine took quite a long time, possibly 4-6 hours, but it worked fine after it completed. I suspect my ISP was also slow during that time. - James Intel i7-10700F 2.9 gigahertz - 16GB Memory DDR4 3000 megahertz - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB - 480GB SSD + 1TB HDD - Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
