Stuck in 1.0.88.0 Version - Opened a Ticket and MS replied back to come back and report it here

[MSFS 2024] Questions & Community Discussions

I have left the preview, un-install the marketplace alpha, rebooted and trying to download the Standard Edition I bought.

The wrong build is still being downloaded (1.0.88.0) instead of the 1.1.7.0

I opened a ticket ( Request #226962 Downloading Wrong Build) and the support guys asked me to come back here for help, contradicting this post:

Can someone give a shed on light on this?

Thanks

Hello @fs1ar

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I clarified this with them, they will get back to you.

For anyone else having the issue, I’ll update this topic whenever I have more info on the cause and solution.
Left the preview but everytime i load the sim it’s still going in the 1.0.88 build with modes being locked down? - [MSFS 2024] Bug Reports / Others (Non DevMode/SDK related) - MSFS DevSupport

Hi @FlyingRaccoon,

I’m experiencing the same issue - they’re redirecting us back to the SDK Forum.
Ticket: 226881

I also tried installing MSFS2024 with a different account, and it successfully installed version 1.1.17.0. However, when I switched back to my main Xbox account, it ask an update and reverted to version 1.0.88.0. Not sure if this can help address the issue someway.

Thank you!

Stuck with 1.0.88.0 on both of my PCs here as well.

I shared the troubleshooting steps they suggested here:

This has obviously nothing to do with the SDK/DevMode and not something we can investigate ourselves so the best I can do for now is stay in touch with them and share any progress on the subject.

so dev alpha is officially off?

I had this problem this morning and, while I was absolutely sure I left the Limitless alpha from the Xbox Insider Hub, when I opened it again today, I was still in the Limitless preview, so I was stuck with the 1.0.88.0 version.

I left again the Limitless alpha, and this time I could install the release build.

Unfortunately running the Reset Tool, and leaving previews from all devices, plus several Reboots, does NOT solve this issue.

I kept the ticket open on Zendesk

Hi Guys.

I managed to resolve the issue on my end by following these steps:

  1. Closed my Xbox Insider account and create again.
  2. Run the Gaming Services Repair Tool.
  3. Executed WSReset.exe.

After completing these steps, the xbox keep installing version 1.0.88.0. Then, I just logged out of the Microsoft Store while keeping the Xbox app open, and the app automatically updated to version 1.1.17.0.

I’m not entirely sure which specific step made the difference, but everything is working fine now.

Hello @benkleber

No, DevAlpha is not discontinued, both builds will keep coexisting.
Version 1.0.88.0 is also impacted by our current server issues, online team is investigating.

Regards,
Sylvain

Ah. well i just bought premium deluxe anyways. thanks and congrats on the release.

Trying the part where I sign out of MS store, but leaving myself signed into Xbox app seems to be a workaround. Rather than launching a 1.0.88.0 limitless client, its now downloading a 11.9GB update which seems to be 1.1.17.0.

As to what happens after the update, and or if it will allow me to enter, i will keep you updated!

Update: Indeed workaround for now seems to be to sign out of Windows Store App but stay signed into Xbox app. After the update, i was able to load into 2024’s live game (1.1.17.0), not limitless.

IF YOU ARE STUCK IN DEV ALPHA

  • Uninstall MSFS 2024 (better safe than sorry)
  • If you are part of the Insider Program then leave the program
  • Make sure you are logged into the Xbox App and Microsoft Store App
  • Update your Xbox App (if needed) via Microsoft Store App
  • Re-Install MSFS 2024 from the Xbox App (It will probably download the 10.5 GB Dev Alpha, this is fine for now)
  • After re-install log out of your Account in the Microsoft Store App
  • You should now only be logged in the Xbox App
  • After a minute or two, In the Xbox App, you will now see a Fix Now and “Update Required” on MSFS 2024
  • Start the update and download the Live Version (11.9 GB)
  • After the update, do not log into your Microsoft Store Account again (this prevents the 10.5 Gb rollback to Dev Alpha)
  • Launch MSFS 2024 and verify you are in the latest version…

Works for now, I don’t think this is a good solution and my personal opinion is that 1.0.88.0 should just be discontinued. Unless there is a solution for this, but it looks like my profile is hard-locked to Dev Alpha.

I can confirm this method does the job.
But you can’t sign back into MS Store anymore cuz if you do so the sim will be updated back to 1.0.88 again…
We definitely need a fix for it…

As a last resort, we can always do this:

If this does not resolve the issue, you can also close your Xbox Insider account by selecting the “Close account” button on the same page.

Just not sure I’m ready to close my account quite yet. But removing yourself from Tech Alpha via account closure is a solution as well.
