Farming Simulator 22

[StrongSad]

I cant see a thread so...

Farming Simulator 22 is now available for Pre-order and due for release on 22 November 21.

It is being released directly through Giants as both Developer and Publisher, moving away from Focus.

New Engine, DX12 and texture streaming.

Looking at some of the gameplay video's it looks a bit more polished than 19 and the use of DX12 will be a massive boost.

Anybody else really dislike it when somebody not only can't be bothered to embed the video in their post, but then links to it so it starts part way through?

Cheers missed that.

They'll turn anything into a game these days

Yeah it is quite a big franchise...

Cashing in on Clarkson’s farm

Other way round more like.

I really enjoyed FS17 particularly some of the mod maps like Oakfield Farm. Tried FS19 but failed to bring much new and the physics of the vehicles was awful. I’ll certainly try FS22 but likely wait until the initial reviews comein.

I will be holding off for a bit as well unless there is a good map off the bat. My current map is WestBridge Hills which is a map used in FS 2013 and modded into FS19 LOL
Also, I use courseplay and that will take a while to catch up.

Can't say I'm too interested in 22, but I won't lie, I've put a **** ton of hours into 19.

Got it free on Epic ages ago and only recently tried it with a few mates.
They've all quit, but I'm still going, very relaxing game where you can do as little, or as much as you want.

If you use courseplay it becomes a mad management game.
I really appreciate the effort put into the modding community however I feel they fill some of the gaps of features that should be in the game from when it went from a PC release to an all-platform release.

It is a pleasant way to spend some time though.

Hey all, im trying to run this game, but it simply won't load into the game - I get to the menus, start a new career, choose map, etc etc - then it just hangs as its about to load into the game.

Any ideas?

Tried everything, running on default, setting all settings to low, etc etc,

Windows 10 pro, 6800XT latest drivers, AMD 5600x, 32gb ram

Been having a think about this at there was an issue at launch.
Check the game.xml C:\Users\ your PC\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2022
Check to see if the <renderer>D3D_12</renderer> if it is that change it to renderer>D3D_11</renderer> and test.

That got it running thanks - but its really stuttery even on the lowest settings (same stutter maxed out or lowest graphics), seems a really really badly programmed game sadly, a 6800XT should easily run it.

All other games I have run maxed out buttery smooth.

Ok found my ticket
Not sure you will like the answer though LOL
You will need to update Windows.
I was running win 10 pro build 1809 at the time and updating it to the latest version fixed the issue.

Joking, why do I need to update windows?! lol, I have no idea what version I am running to be honest - windows 10 pro, of some sort, is all I know.

I think it is related to DX12 hence why running it in DX11 will "run" it. However, as you pointed out, it runs like crap.
I had held out updating my copy before that but just went with it and updated it.

It is pretty dire that it is still an issue as I would have thought they would have sorted it out.

If you want to know what build you are one Type Sysinfo in the windows search and run system Information.
