loki Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Yep, looks like problems with the Xbox services in general. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status Probably the biggest drawback to the modern world of games and applications being tied to remote servers for authentication.

g7rta Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I had the same thing the other day, and then found that MSFS had lost all my graphics & control settings. The settings didn’t save & it was behaving as if I was launching the sim for the first time... every time. I had to go into the MS Store & update “Gaming Services†- they released a newer version within a day or two (after all the complaints I expect) Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

Kapitan Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 just how few people here in flightsim are really actively flying, it seems few are complaining... servers still down this just show why is so important if you buy a game to be able to start if offline with no outside interference whatsoever. Thats what cached bing maps are for... MS initially said you would be able to sim offline but that is not strictly true, you have a limit of times you can do this and right now we should be able to start the sim offline but its unable, its hooked to the servers and loops to that error Shame!!

natman1965 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Microsoft has always had a monopoly, they don't care what their customers think. I can still hear my high school economics teachers (1982) voice ringing my ears today "in the presence of monopolies the customer will get inferior products at a artificially high price. In the presence of a free market the customer will get quality products at the lowest price possible". Where do you think we are at today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I can still hear my high school economics teachers (1982) voice ringing my ears today "in the presence of monopolies the customer will get inferior products at a artificially high price.

Oh, and just so you know there are at least 4 other sims you can choose from. So your teacher and you are both incorrect. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g7rta Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi Kapitan, just checking.. did you update gaming services? If not, you need to go into MS Store and check for updates.

jparnold Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I had no trouble starting FS2020 today and no updates it seems. Maybe users in Australia use a different server (or the problem has been fixed).
