As in-game download fills two-hour window, and after that some.
Microsoft Flight Simulator owners have actually required the video games two-hour Steam refund window to be extended or dropped completely, after spending all of it waiting for the lengthy in-game setup to complete.
The issue here is that the bulk of Microsoft Flight Simulators 150GB download is done through its in-game launcher. After an initial download, this client manages most of the video game – and takes some time.
As quickly as this launcher starts downloading, Steams metric for tracking for how long youve played begins counting.
” I simply downloaded Microsoft Flight Simulator on an uncapped 500MB connection and it took three hours,” Eurogamer reader Ollie informed me. “I was shocked to discover when I closed the download window that Steam had actually logged that as three hours playtime. I think the download does take place in-game customer so I can see how this occurred.”
Garrys mod creator Gary Newman was one of those who took to Twitter to suggest Steam extend the refund timer for the game:

Im not seeing the suggestion people desire to refund the video game based upon its large download (its general download footprint is specified upfront). Its more that if individuals did wish to reimburse the video game after actually playing it, they are no longer able to.
Numerous Steam evaluations now discuss this truth in their feedback. The video game presently has a “Mixed” user rating overall.
Its an embarassment – as the game itself is excellent, according to Eurogamers Martin Robinson.
” Over the past month approximately, Microsoft Flight Simulator has actually sent me on a spiral of discovery, checking out the world in addition to the typically ordinary, frequently wonderful detail of air travel, my gratitude of what Microsoft and Asobo have actually attained growing all the while,” he wrote in Eurogamers Microsoft Flight Simulator review. “When all of it comes together, this thing can be as uplifting as flight itself.”
