GOING NUTS? Crash at 90% World Loading? Reduce Cores
By Feint
Crashing at 90%?
If you have more than 32 cores, your game might crash when loading the world at 89-90%. MS is aware of the problem and are working on a patch. Until then, if you just want to get into the game, here's a workaround:

How to Change the number of Cores
  1. Click Start and type Run
  2. Type msconfig

  3. Select Boot Tab > Advanced Options

  4. Check Number of Processors and use the dropdown to select 32 (you can try lower if this doesn't work)

  5. Click OK
  6. Click OK again
  7. Reboot
  8. Try to start MSFS 2024
  9. Repeat with lower numbers of processors if this doesn't work
(OPTIONAL) Create a Batch File
If you want to do this often until MS makes a fix, you can also create a .bat (batch) file to set the number of processors to use.

  1. Open notetab and type:

    @echo off
    set /p num_processors="Enter the number of processors to use: "
    bcdedit /set {current} numproc %num_processors% echo Number of processors set to %num_processors%
    pause

  2. Save the file with whatever filename you want and set .bat as the extension instead of .txt.

  3. Run the file and it will ask you to set the number of cores you want to reboot with. You will still have to reboot for the change to take effect each time but it will save you the hassle of having to go into msconfig each time you want to play MSFS 2024.


    NOTE: If you change your mind and don't want to change the number of processors, just click the X to close the window.

I'd imagine using Process Lasso and reducing how many cores the game can use might also work but I haven't tested it.
