I see FS2024 released yesterday, 2/10 on Steam, overwhelmingly negative.
It seems they haven't learned anything from last time.
For people still wondering what the difference between the 2024 and 2020 version of MSFS would be, so far my experience with MSFS2024 has been exactly the same as with MSFS2020 on launch day :
- No pre-loading of game files before launch
- No actual pre-order benefits
- Files downloaded through in-game interface
- This time around in-game install interface does not support mouse control, presumably because it was designed to be 'cross-platform'...
- Saturated servers cause endless download times for a miserable 50GB
- Downloading time counting as 'game time' prevents customers from requesting refunds.
Same issues were present 4 yrs ago, they simply did not learn.
EDIT : I am now 'in a queue' for logging in, due to 'too many people trying to log in at once'. That is very reassuring for a web-based application that promises to stream the majority of it high definition content...
I can only marvel at the depth of the simulation, as it now feels like Boeing was actually involved in building the servers, and someone from Embraer was put in charge of planning the launch.
0/10 launch, I hope the actual product makes up for it when I try again tomorrow.
Anyway uninstalling FS2020 should help make room, I'm too far behind in updates anyway (doesn't fit anymore, 1060 too old)
From 130GB to 380GB free now, damn that game ballooned in size!
