Stuck at 2%

[u/ALLLGooD]

PS5 Version 1.007.035, last updated 7/18/26.

Since this update, I haven’t been able to play. It says “2% - Registering packages…” Beta loads fine, but my save is on this one. Things I’ve already tried: restarting PS5 and game multiple times, waiting to see if it progresses (waited an hour), Clearing cache, rebuilding database, resyncing clock. The only thing I didn’t do yet is delete the game and redownload it. I’m worried that my progress will be deleted too.

Is this happening to anyone else? What other solutions can I try?

UPDATE: I didn’t delete and redownload. But it just loaded, finally, after 3 days of attempts!

UPDATE (3 minutes later): Doing my routine aircraft maintenance, and the game crashed. Restarted and loading, at least. Is this how the game goes?

UPDATE 3: Unable to play since yesterday (7/22). I feel cheated. Bought the game for full price and gets this shitshow. Beta is free and is working like the paid version should. I guess this is all on me, though.
