MSFS 2024 suddenly takes forever to load then says “Internet connection required” even though my internet works
My MSFS 2024 was working fine until last night. Now the sim takes an extremely long time to load and eventually gives me the “Internet connection required” screen and won’t continue.
Things I already tried:
- Verified my internet is working
- Other online games/Xbox services work fine
- Restarted PC/router
- Updated Gaming Services/Xbox app
- Renamed/emptied Community folder
- Disabled addons in exe.xml
- Checked Content.xml
- Tried uninstalling/reinstalling parts of the sim
- Looked through logs and found some AceXML parser errors from mods/aircraft
I also noticed the sim hanging during loading and creating:
- Report-loading.toml
I use addons like:
- Fenix A320
- iniBuilds A350
- GSX
- AIG Traffic
- BeyondATC
- FSRealistic
Has anyone had this happen recently after an update or addon conflict? Trying to figure out if this is:
- corrupted cache,
- broken addon,
- Xbox/Microsoft login issue,
- or MSFS servers.
Any help appreciated because right now the sim barely loads at all.
