Check Your Server Status

The main reason for this error to occur is the overloaded servers, which has already been officially acknowledged by the developer on the MSFS Support X/Twitter. That’s why we recommend checking if there are any issues regarding your server status here:

If you see any indication that servers are overgoing any maintenance or are outright disabled, then wait for a couple of hours and go back again to see if the problem has been resolved.

Restart Your Game

Many players who had a similar issue have reported that by simply restarting a game once or a few times, they were able to login eventually. If your game is stuck and won’t let you restart manually, here’s what you can do:

  1. Press the “Ctrl+Shift+Esc” key combo.
  2. Right-click on the MSFS 2024 process.
  3. Select the “End Process” option.
  4. Once the game’s closed, restart it.

Verify Integrity of Your Game Files

It’s also possible that some of the game files have been corrupted during the installation process, so be sure to verify the integrity of your game files if you get the loading language error:

  1. Start the Steam app.
  2. Select the “Library” tab.
  3. Right-click on MSFS 2024.
  4. Select the “Properties” option from the list.
  5. Go to the “Installed Files” tab.
  6. Select the “Verify Integrity of Game Files” option.

Temporarily Disable Antivirus and Firewall

Another possible fix to the loading error issue would be your antivirus and firewall settings, so be sure to try launching MSFS 2024 after doing the following:

  1. Press the Start button.
  2. Go to the “Settings” tab.
  3. Select the “Update and Security” feature.
  4. Go to the “Windows Security” tab.
  5. Select the “Virus and Threat Protection” feature.
  6. Go to the “Manage Settings” option.
  7. Set the real-time protection to OFF.

You may also temporarily disable the Windows firewall:

  1. Press the Start button.
  2. Go to the “Settings” tab.
  3. Select the “Update and Security” feature.
  4. Go to the “Windows Security” tab.
  5. Select the “Firewall and Windows Protection” feature.
  6. Open “Windows Security” settings.
  7. Switch the Microsoft Defender Firewall option OFF.

Reinstall Your Game

The last thing you can do is uninstall and reinstall your game on Steam from scratch. But do this only if any of the above solutions haven’t worked thus far:

  1. Start the Steam app.
  2. Select the “Library” tab.
  3. Right-click on MSFS 2024.
  4. Go to the “Manage” option.
  5. Select “Uninstall” from the list.
