Version: 1.2.8.0
Frequency: Consistently
Severity: Blocker
Marketplace package name: Vessels Core Library
Context: Users are trying to download the 2020 version from the 2024 marketplace and when they reboot to activate/stream/download it the startup freezes with a ‘Loading unusually long: log saved to Report-loading.toml’ message. This only happens when using the MSFS2024 Marketplace to try to install our MSFS2020 packages. Other publishers/distribution platforms don’t result in the issue.
Bug description: This package is a couple of GB. Streaming it via the MSFS2024 marketplace results in frozen launch. Checking TaskManager shows that download activity eventually halts too. We suspect this is an infrastructure issue.
We’re not sure how this got through initial testing. We actually requested back in November that packages weren’t automatically made available to MSFS2024 like this.
