Developed by Asobo Studio and published by Xbox Game Studios, Microsoft Flight Simulator is one of the most realistic and biggest open-world games of all time. Released in 2020, the map spans the entirety of planet Earth.
Unsurprisingly, the title went on to win the Best Sim/Strategy Game at The Game Awards 2020, thanks to its impressive visuals and engaging gameplay.
But in the last few months, players have experienced issues such as the Xbox controller not working and live weather causing performance problems and crashes.
And after the Sim Update 9, many were complaining about FPS drops and performance issues. Players were angry because of inconsistent frame rates after the SU 9 patch.
Microsoft had acknowledged the problem and said they would resolve some of the issues in an upcoming patch.
Fast forward to yesterday and the developers released the update to Microsoft Flight Simulator version 1.25.9.0. The patch notes indicated that some stability issues had been addressed.
But many Microsoft Flight Simulator players soon started reporting that the latest hotfix did not address FPS drops and performance issues.
Unfortunately, Microsoft Flight Simulator developers are yet to comment on the FPS drops and performance issues that persist after v1.25.9.0 hotfix.
In the meantime, those experiencing frequent stutters can try a workaround that seems to be working for many. It requires users to modify a value in the Windows Registry so make sure you proceed with caution.
We hope they address the FPS drops and performance issues in the next update. Until then, we will be keeping tabs on the matter and let you know once the fix is out so make sure you stay tuned for more information.
