Quick answer
Answer
Run this checklist before you click launch. The goal is simple: avoid the few setup misses that waste the most Free Fly time.
- A clean SSD install matters more than tweaking ten settings before the game even opens.
- Your first impression is often decided by installation choices: SSD, free space, and a clean launcher install.
- If you install to HDD or run out of space, you’ll get long loads and stutter that looks like “bad game performance”.
- Use this checklist to get to a playable first session fast.
Do this now
- Install to SSD/NVMe (not HDD).
- Keep free space on the drive so caching doesn’t choke.
- Run the launcher once and let it finish without interruptions.
- If downloads fail, restart the launcher and avoid parallel heavy downloads.
- Verify by launching into menu before you plan a full session.
Common mistakes (and exact fixes)
| Mistake | What happens | Fix (exact) |
|---|---|---|
| Installing on HDD | Long loads + constant streaming hitching. | Move install to SSD/NVMe. |
| Running out of disk space | Patch/install loops, corrupted files. | Free space; reinstall if needed. |
| Starting a session before install is stable | You spend time troubleshooting mid-session. | Do a menu launch first to confirm stability. |
Next steps
- Open the full Free Fly guide — best next step if you want the wider event context and signup expectations.
- Run the first-session plan next once install is done and you want the cleanest possible trial hour.
- Check performance next only if the game still feels rough after a clean install.
FAQ
Can I move the game later?
Yes, but it’s easiest to install to SSD from the start.
Does SSD really matter that much?
For many players, yes — it’s a top cause of stutter and long loads.
Do I need a special launcher setting?
No. Focus on storage and completing the install cleanly.
What if the launcher fails repeatedly?
Restart it and avoid background downloads; if it persists, reinstall to a clean folder.
Where do I go after install?
Use the Free Fly first-session checklist and run one short loop.
