• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Getting Past the 97% Loading Barrier.

Stuck here for hours. What are folks doing to get past the 97% load barrier? I tried a repair and reset of the software with no change. I thought MS had addressed this roadblock.
 
Baffling, as I have not a problem beyond release day. However, I have had a couple of "low bandwidth" warnings...but still flew.

I canceled out after about 2 hours, but did not uninstall. Just left everything there. Came back and restarted a few hours later, received the full que screen. Shut that after about 1/2 hour, and came back a couple hours later. It started downloading again to the 97% point. Went into kitchen for a drink, came back and the sim had started. Since then, I have always been able to start it with no problems, usually 3-5 minutes before ready to fly. I did have a major problem Friday evening when the first update automatically downloaded and installed. Sim would not load beyond 25 seconds, before throwing an error/crash screen. One of the things to try was uninstall, reboot, and reinstall. Since then, usually 2-5 minutes from clicking "play" in the XBox app, which is the only way to start the store version, to ready to fly.

I'll try the reboot. More and more it feels like a server overload issue on the MS side.

That's what it turned out to be for most of us. Just don't uninstall what has already downloaded, as all of the first round will remain on your drive. Your planes will not remain, just your basic program, scenery, lessons, adventures, etc. Approximately 35-38GB of stuff. The rest downloads each time you start the sim.
 
Rebooting did not do the trick. Again stuck at 97% - loading simobjects (0/0). Setting at 97% for over an hour now.
 
Seriously, at work we had enormous problems because M$ had done an oopsie when upgrading Azure infrastructure. There were issues with Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint and authentication.

It might be related to that (and probably is)
