Asobo apologizes for Microsoft Flight Simulator 24's troubled launch

The fans of the Microsoft Flight Simulator series didn't anticipate the kind of problems they would face when trying to play the game on launch day. Many players had to suffer from extremely long download times when installing their games and once in the game, the overall performance of the title wasn't up to the level of quality that they are accustomed to. Developer Asobo Studio acknowledged those problems which may have been avoided if the the game didn't have to be downloaded via Microsoft's servers exclusively. Things have moved rather fast in the last few days and Asobo has released several updates to improve the overall experience. However, it was very clear that the game was in trouble since the moment it was released, as acknowledged by the developers in a launch day update video.

Fixing the problems with the servers

The latest hotfix released for Microsoft Flight Simulator 24 fixes a number of critical users and enhances players' experience in the game. Unfortunately, it does not address all the problems in the game, but it's a noticeable improvement to the gameplay experience. The hotfix is mainly directed to the PC version of Microsoft  Flight Simulator 24, whose performance has been significantly improved since the game was released.

"Good news: we've made continued improvements that provide smoother access to the simulator. We have also deployed a hotfix that further increases stability and addresses the player experience by fixing critical issues. We will continue to investigate any issues and keep the community informed. Thank you again for your ongoing support and enjoy your time in the skies. – Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator."

We can only hope that Asobo and Microsoft manage to fix all problems as soon as possible so the fans can immerse themselves into the game they deserve.
