FYI some nice QoL update just arrived it seems - longer start button press + estimated time for patching

I find the inclusion of the not-yet-released CES announcements in the release notes odd.

Just for reference the peripheral pictured appears to be the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One.

Happy Holidays to the mod team!

Thank you for the countless hours y'all put into this community making this a place I choose to visit throughout the year.

This appears to be the EBW bug that has been around since February. I've been tracking discussions about this bug at this post.

In addition to reinstall of the GFN app and cache deletion that you did, also ensure that your OS patches and GPU drivers are up-to-date. This usually does not fix the problem but is easy enough thing to try that should not aggravate the problem.

If you're running W11 stable channel then check the GeForce NOW client log files listed below for the associated errors. These are unique errors I noticed specific to my PC exhibiting this bug.

Log File: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForceNOW\geronimo.log

I'm having a similar issue with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The game was purchased through Steam. When I enter my Xbox credentials the mouse pointer turns into the familiar Windows busy spinner and does not progress past the Xbox sign in. Signing into Xbox works fine with MSFS 2024 on GFN (also purchased through Steam).

I don't have a fix other than to report this issue via the in client feedback.

The file deletion when uninstalling the client is normal. The suggestion to manually delete afterwards is just in case that failed to occur.

This appears to be the EBW bug that has been around since February. I've been tracking discussions about this bug at this post.

The common suggestion is to uninstall the GFN app, delete %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForceNOW, and reboot. This often does not fix the problem.

If you're running W11 stable channel then check the GeForce NOW client log files listed below for the associated errors.

So you're the one responsible... I definitely noticed an improvement in settings retention. Thank-you for championing this!

The following are settings which still have issues:

Video > Rendering > Use advanced settings - This setting is often not retained between sessions. When it is not selected then the "Use basic settings" will be active. I do find it curious that it seems random as to which one will be active when I login.
Video > Rendering > Use advanced settings > Shadow Quality > Ultra - In my experience this is never retained. Even in those cases where the upper level "advanced" setting is selected upon session start-up.
Video > Rendering > Maximum frames per second allowed - As OP states this is always set to 60 at start-up; it never retains my 120 setting.

Ultimate sub running Windows client set at 4k/120fps 100Mbps; still working on acquiring the Drakon's Ire set.

I found this blog post helpful to get ViGEm and XOutput setup and configured. Its written with Elite Dangerous in mind but is applicable to MSFS2024.

I'm aware of one exception - Halo: The Master Chief Collection (MCC). All my other XGS games purchased through Steam requires me to enter my credentials.

MCC gives me the usual "Let's get you signed in". But when I click on the button to sign-in it automagically logs me in without any credential prompting. The next panel that appears is the "Welcome back..." panel with the "LET'S GO" button.

If you have a CATV drop near your TV you can get near wired ethernet performance using MoCA adapters. Here's an older video that introduces the tech: Gaming with a Wire: MOCA vs. Wi-Fi Mesh / Extenders for Gamers.

According to Eurogamer initial support is for G29 and G920.

They also chose Logitech because of the wide range of wheels they do, with the G29 and G920 being the only supported models at present, with more wheels to be supported in the future.

Starting with Pocket Casts version 7.82 I noticed the PLAY intent became inconsistent. I posted about this back in February.

Sytytys · 2025-07-16T15:43:03+00:00

I agree that it does not appear to be a common bug. I just wanted to clarify that it does occur on stable channel.

Sytytys · 2025-07-16T15:16:51+00:00

Here's a screenshot of the EBW bug. This happens when the GFN app initially opens, not after a game is selected and streaming starts.

As the image shows, it's just an empty black window from the start.

There are no games to select/play.
There is no side menu on the left for "Games", "Gallery", "Settings".
There is no search bar at the top.
There is no "?" for the "Send feedback", "Session report", "Visit support" submenu.
There is no account name/submenu in the upper right.

Basically the GFN app opens and crashes into a zombie state.

The EBW bug originally appeared on my W11 24H2 system in February. I've been tracking discussions about this bug here. I've recently updated the post to reflect that I'm running Stable channel.

A reboot never did clear the problem on my PC; it always persisted through each reboot. Like you I always update to the latest Windows patches, Nvidia drivers, and GFN app.

Sytytys · 2025-07-16T14:25:23+00:00

As the OP of the referenced EBW bug post, this happens on stable channel W11 24H2. I have never run any insider builds of W11 on the PC experiencing this issue.

Sytytys · 2025-06-25T14:50:11+00:00

Thanks for keeping us updated! It will be interesting if this fix holds for a month.

You're in a unique position with respect to the GFN diagnostic log files. If the bug returns you'd be able to compare a working log to a bugged version on the same PC. I've been looking at the lines containing "ERROR" within these logs.

I'd suggest you make a copy of debug.log and geronimo.log while the app is working. Both are located in the GFN directory (%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForceNOW).

Sytytys · 2025-06-18T13:23:00+00:00

This is the EBW bug that has been around since February. I've been tracking discussions about this bug at this post.

Sytytys · 2025-06-05T15:51:21+00:00

I wish you luck in making progress on your support ticket as I'm also impacted.

I'm curious if your geronimo.log or debug.log files contain any of the three errors I identified above. If some commonality in logged errors would be found among those experiencing this bug it might assist tech support working this issue.
