Hello, forum.
Feb 24, 2021 I have a reverb g2 and a fs2020 bought from microsoft store. Since the performance are not so good with wmr I would try using steam vr, maybe is better. My rig is ryzen 5 3600 and rtx 3070, 32gb ram. For the gpu I am using old driver because they are far better (457.30) Zeeflyboy February 25, 2021, 2:30pm #6.

I'm a seasoned veteran with both flight simulation and computers, so I am taking this in stride for now until I hear back from Microsoft or someone can give me a hint. I can't imagine if I was a regular customer who just purchased this on Steam, is ready to fly, hits 'Fly Now' and is immediately booted out of the simulator.
Sorry to bother you, but I seem to have joined the ranks of people who can’t get FS2020 to start up.
I’ve been running it more or less since the Steam release, but on a pretty sub-spec PC. It worked, but not terribly well - though I went into that eyes open. After a CPU/RAM upgrade things improved quite a bit. Today I installed a new GPU which I’d hoped would at least make it possible for me to switch the sky back on (volumetric effects were murdering my previous 2Gb GPU so I generally flew with them off).
Unfortunately, I’m now unable to start FS at all. I’ve tried loading from Steam, via desktop icon, and through the Radeon management app. In every case, I get a cursor “wait” swirly for a few seconds, then just nothing. In Steam, I get a window saying “Preparing to launch”, which then disappears, the green Play button becomes the blue Stop button for about a minute, and then it just clicks back to Play again. In Task Manager, the flightsimulator.exe process starts up under Steam, goes to around 11% CPU usage and a solid 343.5 Mb RAM, stays there for about 30-60 seconds or so, then shuts off.
I’ve tried various ‘fixes’ I’ve found on forums including checking installation integrity via Steam, reinstalling the XBox PC app to make sure Gaming Services is up to date, and finally uninstalling FS and redownloading from Steam. (I can’t do a full reinstall because the game doesn’t get far enough to trigger one.) The only suggestion I’ve found that I haven’t tried is switching back to the old card - but to be honest I’d rather avoid that if possible. The whole point was to make FS work somewhere approaching properly. But since the card works fine for everything else, I think if I’m forced to choose, I’ll keep the card and ditch FS.

But I’d rather not have to choose. So, forum - does anyone have any other suggestions? Anything else I might try?

(PS - For info, the old card was a GeForce GTX 960. The new one is a Radeon RX 580 with 8Gb which I’d hoped would be an improvement. The CPU is a Ryzen 5 and the PC has 16Gb RAM - but again, only the GPU has changed since it last ran okay.)
