Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 crashing on start up

Anonymous

Hello,

I tried launching MSFS 2020 today on my PC but it crashes at the loading screen every time, regardless of safe mode or normal.

My drivers are up to date and my microsoft/xbox sign in details are correct.

Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 Ti
Driver version 537.13
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor
31.89 GB RAM

did not work on my end installed English United States but MSFS still crashes on startup. This is such a shame, MS does not even care about the user experience but they have enough cash to invest 8bn in ChatGPT, great.

This did the trick.

I don´t know how i got here because the sim has been working on this PC flawlessly since launch and then all of a sudden out of the blue i got that problem.

For now i just uninstalled OpenXR toolkit and it got working imediately

I solved this problem. In my case I had to start the game in another pc(I used my friend pc) with the same Xbox account( you don’t need to install the full game but only the few GBs that allows you to open the game. once done I tried with my pc and it has always worked perfectly
