Stitch-Up

Well, I have no idea how I solved the issue but it's now loading properly and the latest update is installed!

My internet connection is good at approx 72Mbps

My laptop is plenty powerful being an i9 processor with 32Gb RAM etc etc.

I had tried many of the suggestions - reboot from cold - using Task Manager to end FS - and other things. Then all of a sudden it decided to work!

Strange!

Thanks for all the advice.

Stay Safe

Have you installed the latest patch?

The last patch I installed was the Japan scenery as far as I'm aware.

 

Are you running FS20 from a cold boot of the PC?

Yes, switched on, booted up as normal, started FS2020 and stuck on the image.

 

Steam or MS Store version?

MS Store Premium version.

I usually expect to see the message "Checking for Updates" but doesn't get that far!

Good morning all,

Never had a problem starting FS2020 until today! When I try start FS2020 all seems to proceed as normal until I get to the full-screen image of a Japanese volcano! The music continues to play and the volcano image remains - forever if I left it that long!

Any ideas?

Thanks
