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

    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

    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.

    i disabled the openrx tool kit and all is fine again..

    This solved it for me!
    I spent the past 4 days trying to get my game to work and pretty much tried every other option I found on the forms, even a clean reinstall.
