I haven't been able to get past customize identity for the past 15 minutes.

Yeah I’m stuck there as well

I'm really looking forward to the reports of what hte new flight model physics are like.
Will probably end up buying anyway, but holding off during this teething period

Same here stuck at 97% says loading unusually long, don't know whether to just leave it or restart

Slam62 · Tuesday at 17:13

I restarted, it went back to the start, now on 13% doh

Yes I will have to try restarting

Slam62 · Tuesday at 17:22

I’m up to17% again, it seemed to magically speed up at this point last time, still waiting.

darkgen · Tuesday at 17:25

I appreciate this is the PC forum but were any of you prompted to install a MS help addon or some such partway through the initial loading?

FYI - I've stuck on the Identity screen too for 20m and counting (on SX).

Slam62 · Tuesday at 17:27

I wasn’t
Now says loading taking unusually long, at 95%

Brun · Tuesday at 17:30

Anyone fancy a pint?

sgavan · Tuesday at 17:32

Worth watching the lovely intro a few times at least

I tried repairing\resetting the gaming service as this often causes problems with Microsoft games, but didn't help this time

phil-k · Tuesday at 17:33

Probably have to end up re downloading it after some files have been tweaked

Slam62 · Tuesday at 17:39

Stuck on 97% along with most other users it seems.

phil-k · Tuesday at 17:44

I'm giving up until tomorrow

Yeah tempted what a mess

darkgen · Tuesday at 17:49

Aye, restarted 4 times and it sticks at the identity page. Reports elsewhere suggest same issues but it looks like a few folk have managed to get further. Giving up for now.

Currently watching Raptor on Youtube, looks amazing.

Me too, I had the yoke out ready at 4pm but it is now packed away until tomorrow. I'll try again early tomorrow I think.

sgavan · Tuesday at 17:57

Same here, yoke ready to go but now giving up I think, hopefully not going the same as Flight 2020, amazing when it worked but several issues causing problems.

Kurgen · Tuesday at 18:13

stuck at 97% is it same dev team as windows ME ?
