Explained Issues
Login Queue Error
When many users connect simultaneously, the simulator triggers a login queue message:
“Too many users are trying to connect at the same time. You are in a queue. Please wait a few minutes or try again later.”
Server Connectivity Error
A separate issue appears as:
“Server Issue Detected. Attempting to connect to the servers…”
These errors stem from server overload due to the high volume of users accessing the game simultaneously.

Forum Discussions
Community insights suggest that improvements are ongoing, but heavy reliance on cloud technology introduces challenges, especially for users with slower internet connections.
Why These Errors Happen
Cloud-Based Data Management
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 uses cloud streaming for massive data like textures and maps. While this reduces installation size and update times, it makes the game highly dependent on server stability.
User Demand
With an influx of players during peak hours, servers may struggle to handle the load, causing delays and connectivity issues.
Wait or Retry
If placed in a queue, wait a few minutes before retrying.
Restarting Helps
Rebooting your console or PC can resolve freezing issues during the loading phase.
Network Check
Ensure your internet connection is stable and has sufficient bandwidth to manage the high streaming demands.
By improving server capacity and refining connectivity, Microsoft aims to provide a smoother gaming experience.
