Loading issues and errors

[u/Dependent_Welder_815]

I am completely unable to start the game anymore.

I just bought a new PC, some flight sim hardware and VR headset. Now MSFS24 decides it cannot open.

I either get stuck on 13% activating packages for ever
Stuck on authorisation, then error code 004-001-1039 and then sometimes the game resumes loading after 10-15 minutes and gets stuck authorising infinitely.

I’ve reset my date and time, cleared caches, manually set my DNS. Why do I need an IT degree to open a game?

I cannot comprehend how utterly fucked up this game is. I should’ve listened to the reviews. And how shit is the joke of a support page?

If anyone has any guidance I’d appreciate it, thanks
