ster100 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 When I start msfs2020, it spontaneously quits after a while. It stops before the introduction screen appears (with globe). What is going on here? system: Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidc2 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Have you done a reboot? Cleaned out the Community Folder?

simtech95209 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 No, it must be more than that. I was using the sim, closed it down, restarted thirty minutes later and the same thing OP reported. CTD before completely loaded. I tried both normal start and clean community start. No joy. I'll sleep on it and try again tomorrow.

simtech95209 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I had the same thing happen Tuesday night. Had been running MSFS for two days, no issues. Restarted then boom, wouldn't load for rhyme or reason. Took two days to sort it out. Another user on Avsim had the same issue and his solution worked for me. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/630968-msfs-wont-get-past-initial-splash-screen/ I surmised that perhaps Windows update had corrupted the Opt.cfg file earlier that day. I renamed the file, reloaded but then when "Checking for updates" would never get past. Stated "OFFLINE". Couldn't understand why. Signed out of XBox, Microsoft Store then signed in again.. Nada. My PC was definitely online.. Then it DAWNED on me: I have MSFS from STEAM and I had flown for weeks with Steam Offline. I restarted Steam ONLINE and all is well. The latest download is HUGE. Anyway, hope this helps. Too many fingers in the pie to ensure the program works..

Glad it is working, but that you had to uninstall and then the LONG reinstall process.
