Some Xbox players are still finding issues such as glitching textures in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, despite the recent patches. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 had a pretty rocky launch, and while most of the issues have already been solved, it seems that some players still have a subpar experience with the flight simulator game.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was released on November 19 to a variety of issues. Problems included dense server traffic causing gamers to be unable to play after being stuck in queues, high GPU temperatures on PC, and content missing from the game. This spoiled the launch of an otherwise exciting game, leaving it with “Overwhelmingly Negative” reviews on Steam.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: How to Speed Up Time
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has a workaround to shorten long-haul and boring flights: Speeding up time using the Simulation Rate feature.
A few weeks have passed since the launch, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has fixed most of its problems, but some gamers are still finding issues with it. Earlier this week, a gamer called romanw2702 complained on social media that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was still not working as intended on the Xbox Series X. According to the gamer, they had a fine internet connection, but the game still presented several visual glitches, such as textures flashing. In the video shared by the gamer, it’s possible to see how bad the issue is, with rivers, trees, and other textures constantly disappearing and flashing over and over again, which can be very distracting. In the post’s comments, multiple gamers acknowledged romanw2702’s complaints, urging the developer Asobo to allow them to download world textures instead of having to stream them as they play.
Gamers Complain About the Current State of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Xbox Series X
Unfortunately, the recent Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 patches have not fixed all the problems on the Xbox Series X/S. While it’s undeniable that the experience of playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is far better now than it was at release, it’s still disappointing to see gamers struggling with the game weeks after release, likely due to problems with servers, which were the main issue at launch.
In any case, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was a day Xbox Game Pass Ultimate one release, so gamers who want to experience it and see for themselves how well the game is running on consoles can do it without additional costs if they are subscribers. Hopefully, Asobo and Microsoft will keep improving the experience, and the game will feel smoother in the near future.
