Update 7?

SOH-CM-2023
Got pinged during the app launch to do a mandatory update. Apparently there is an update 7 today? Upon finishing the update, the .exe for the sim is gone and I cannot launch the sim. So attempting a reinstall now. Anyone else having issues?
 
The update wiped out the flightsim package files apparently. So having to reinstall. Hope I can port over the community folder. Still on Win10, I wonder if that was the problem? I'll see what happens after the new install.

I received this as well. The store had noting on the update. But I found the update in the Xbox app. Update appeared to download and install. But the game disappeared off my pc entirely. The package files for the sim seem to have been eliminated with the update on my machine. So reinstalling now and will see what happens after that.
 
There were some specific instruction issued on their forum early this morning - different methods to invoke the update depending on whether you were a console or PC user and whether you were an existing Beta user or not.Screenshot (453).jpg

Did the update as per, but something happened. So... still 36% on the download and counting.

Just looking at the the size of the so called 'customer base' I'll find it rather unliklythat there will be no SNAFU whats-o-ever . . . . I have to admit that this SU7(b?) hit me by surprise this evening but ran smooth as silk an with some resonable speed - pretty much like the others before: Thanks ASOBO! :encouragement: :applause:
Got a ton of extra X-Box liveries I never asked for:a1310:

The BIG ups came when I looked into the Content Manager: Deluxe + Premium Upgrade, anything about Reno and the JU52 still needed some extra love . . . . . . . still downloading , having a beer, having a 2nd beer, waiting . . . . . .:very_drunk: :sleeping:
 
The update was a surprise. Started at the store and an update completed there. Then went to MSFS and update info was displayed showing:
232 KIB/679GIB
Chose to update and 716MIB loaded in 2min and the sim started showing version 1.2.18.0 ???
That did not seem to go to completion so I restarted MSFS and there was no indication there was anything else to install.
So now what to do?? Wait for SU8?
 
I always go to the MS Store first - before opening MSFS - and there when checking on updates saw that MSFS had already been 'Updated' - which means that the DL packet was sent to my PC.
So when I opened MSFS there was the notice 'Your update is ready to install" so I click install and it went just fine. Content manager then had four aircraft updates ready to install - so I installed those without a problem.

Reno was updated as well as the MSFS version that I purchased 'Deluxe' I think..

Anyway - since I have been checking the MS Store first, before opening flight sim I've had no troubles. It was only when I opened MSFS and then was directed to the Store and then back to the sim that I had problems with updates.
 
Thanks for the HU. Downloading core update via the Store now and my Community folder is moved to the desktop in preparation for the main update.
 
Download size for the update started at around 350 MB. Then it started looping on the FSBase folder - 55/61. Had to shut down and restart. Now it's 8 GIGS!!! :banghead:

Update - 53 minutes later and it's finally done.

Question, how many addons did this update Nuke? I ran Dino's F-35 immediately post update and no CTD's but I am hearing other models are being affected.

I went into content manager and found two MSFS programs needing updating, 2.21 and 2.47 GIB taking about 5 min on a fast fiber line. I guess I'm fully loaded with the update now.

I lost the Whittaker MWL. It does not appear in MSFS under owned or the full catalog. :banghead: All other purchases, 8 of them, still show in owned and installed.

Tom, it's absolutely not necessary. You just need to rename the Community folder for the time of update like "_Community" for example. Update will create another, own and empty new Community folder. It is enough. No time is wasted in duplicating this :).
 
I'm Back! After 8 hours of a full re-install, we are finally running again. Even with my original Community folder now loaded, the most notable difference is the much faster load time (maybe 30% less), from launching the game to the runway. All of my payware aircraft seem to be working just fine.
