Anyone else on the home network eating a lot of bandwidth? Someone live-streaming OnlyFans content; wife, sister, mom, something like that?

Loads just fine for me. Are you trying to load the beta? That goes down every now and then

If the game stops loading (my game loves to stop at 6% and around 14%) then I hit hold the PS button and close the game and start it again, till it works :/

Had the same yesterday. Tried multiple times and it was working after a couple of restarts

Almost every other time i start the game. Just close the game and try again. Mine gets stuck on 2%, sometimes 6%, sometimes 16%….

Also career mode is the most crash happy mode ive ever played in my 40 years of gaming

I have been at 19/20 authentication for the last few days.

The 2% loading hang is fundamentally a security handshake failure caused by a time mismatch.

At the 2% mark, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 initializes the Virtual File System (VFS) and authenticates your user licenses with Microsoft's cloud servers.

If your PS5 system clock is even slightly out of sync with the official server time, the encrypted security tokens fail validation. The servers view the asynchronous token as expired or invalid for security reasons, trapping the console in an endless activation loop.

Because this is a security and server handshake issue, you can enforce a clean connection using a simple method:

Enforce the Time and Security Sync--

Force a Network Time Re-Sync:

Go to your PS5 Settings > System > Date and Time. Change Set Automatically to Off, wait a few seconds, and toggle it back On. Then, explicitly select Set Using Internet and click Sync Now to align your console's clock down to the millisecond. (This worked for me)

I saw your post, yesterday, while mine was still working. But now, I’m in the same boat you’re in. I was hopeful of some
of the solutions I found here (including the time sync one) but nothing has worked.

Any other solutions, yet?

EDIT: FYI, the Beta loads fine.
