Can't download Microsoft flight sim 2020

Hi! 

I also have download issues with this game. I bought flight sim on release day and managed to download it without problems and played it 20 hours or so and then had a break from it and was waiting for vr release. When the vr update came i tried downloading it but it just stuck on this one file on loop, starting downloading it again and again...sometimes it could download it but then it was stuck on next bigger file. I tried everything i could find on google (netlimiter, rebooting pc/router, changing xbox console companion account, tried to take data limit off the game but wasnt successfull with that). So then i thought that only chance is reinstalling whole game and now i have still the same problem but even bigger files to download. I sent support ticket about this on flight sim helpdesk or whatever its called. I hope they do something about the installer, this is just ridiculous. I dont want refund, i would just want to download the damn game and play it goddammit :D.

I read that wifi connection isnt recommended on download but i dont have possibility to download on wired, but i think this bug/problem on installation manager has been on flight sim since launch day or after first patch.

That is off this topic. This topic is about download issues when you can run game to point where download is needed...

Same thing... just tried to buy and download this game.

Wasted a bunch of time trying to install FS2020 last night....I couldn't even get past the purchase point.  Tried to buy it 3x times and every time the store told me unable to make transaction and kicked me out.  What is going on Microsoft?  I made several purchases from your competitors yesterday, without any issues.

MSFS2020 was working fine on this system prior to the patch #1.

It's the 23th of december and was very much looking forward to this game.

Thrilled to read it has VR support now.

Reading all the posts from 'reddit' than from 'steam' and than on this channel I can confirm having the same struggles to get this product installed. So in the end I requested a refund....

This is absolutely ridicilous, I have paid 90 euro's and basically have all the same problems mentioned in this post earlier from start of launch of this product. Hanging on installation on 'decompressing files' for hours on end, restarting the installation again and again, taking hours to get anywhere with this installation and nothing is happening. I have tried the solutions given like 'net manager' nothing is working. And come to think of it, I am kind of fed up having to go through to all this efforts just wanting to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

I have paid 90 euro's and just wanted to play your game Microsoft. Just install the 120 GB on my PC, that's the only task you have. For now this installer just isn't working for a lot of people.
