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

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Gaming

    It's because the software is a piece of garbage. I've had nothing but problems from the moment it was released. Anything from complete hardware shutdowns, to working flawlessly, to crashing to desktop on startup. ALL COMPLETELY RANDOM. So much fun. Can't wait for their new release so I can experience more problems :)
