Flight Sim 2020 keeps crashing even with the a beast of a PC and Video card?

Yes, after the latest update on 9/29, but I think I have things worked out for now.  By doing the various fixes found on the forums and going back to my Saitek ST290 Pro joystick, instead of the new Thrustmaster Hotas I ordered, I'm able to fly long flights with no crashes.  Hopefully, future updates will allow me to go back to delegating ATC to copilot and using Azure speech to text.

I purchased the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (Premium Deluxe Edition). 

When I try to open the game it crashes with the following error:

C:\Program Files\ WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.11.6.0_x64_8wekyb3d8...\FlightSimulator.exe

The request is not supported 

However, when I run it as administrator it lets me get in the game but then crashes right away.

My specs can run the simulator, I have an Nvidia 2070 and dan Intel I7 9th Gen

Please help!

Hi there,

I bought MFS2020 via the Steam Store. I'm able to run the game, but after seeing the developers logo's, the game crashes. I tried all the solution you mentioned above, but nothing changes.

Steps I completed:

• Verifying the integrity of the local game via Steam
• Updating Windows 10
• Updating my Graphics Drivers (NVIDIA P4000 - version 460.2)
• Uninstalling and reinstalling the game
• Increasing the Virtual Memory on my system. (Physical Memory 32GB RAM)

One thing I noticed, I only had to log in to Xbox Live once, the first time I tried opening the game.

Any ideas? I'm pretty desperate..

Thanks in advance,

Regards

edit: I never got to the "Press Any Key to Start"-screen.

I have the same issue while trying to do Bush Trips.

The game freezes for about 20 seconds and then returns me to the desktop with no error at all.

GPU: GeForce RTX 3090 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz Memory: 64 GB RAM

I am running the game on 2560x1440 with unlimited FPS and medium/high settings and getting ~90FPS.

You may want to add a post in topic: "Steam version CTD after blackshark.ai logo and legal notices" found in Bugs & Issues > Performance & Graphics.  I haven't seen any fixes posted there yet, but it looks like someone else is having an issue similar to yours with their Steam version.

Since your game is crashing even before you're flying, I'd try this, if you haven't yet:

• Uninstall the game
• Press the Windows Key
• Type in: wsreset in the "Type here to search" box
• Right-click and select Run as Administrator
• Once complete, reboot computer
• Reinstall the game from Steam
• Go to Settings > Apps
• Find Microsoft Flight Simulator on the list
• Select Advanced Options
• Select Reset

When you open the game after the reset, it will download the entire game (100GB plus), which takes a while.

My Microsoft Store version is nearly bullet-proof these days and I haven't crashed in over a month now.

Best of luck,

Bill
