Farming Simulator 2013 on Xbox 360/PS3

Post by Rickenbacker »

So, the console version is finally here, and it's damn good, barring a few framerate and popup problems and some flickering textures. The new map is absolutely lovely, with great big fields to work, and the few new machines are great so far. But there's no multiplayer - I'm sure I read somewhere that there would be multiplayer?

I've only had time to play a few hours so far, but I'm curious as to what you guys who have it think?

I'm loving the game as well, but it's in dire need of a patch that gives you the option to turn up the camera speed, because at the moment it's painfully slow. An in game brightness option wouldn't be bad either.
Other than that, and apart from the few tech problems you mention, it's a good conversion.

Yeah, some settings would be nice. And an autosave feature - I lost a few hours of work when my Xbox shut itself off to save power...

Also, horseshoes? The US map doesn't seem to have them. Kind of disappointing.

Something else I came across, there seems to be an odd glitch where if you turn the vehicle lights on while working a field, there is a very noticeable drop in framerate. There must be some sort of a clash between the light and the particles.

Sounds like the old problem from the PC version: 0% doesn't always mean that every last scrap of silage is gone, you have to run through the bunker again with the scoop all the way down to empty it fully.

I have tried doing that with the duetz front loader and silage fork but i'll try again with the bucket.

Unfortunately this limit is given by the amount of RAM the system has. If you buy exactly the same model twice, it uses less slots for the second model. So to maximize the number of vehicles you can have, you should try to use as little different models as possible. E.g. you can use the same tractor for the different work. Also you could exchange 2 small trailers with 1 bigger trailer.

I think you might of misunderstood what Stegei said. Deleting stuff off your ps3 hard drive won't give you more slots in fs. It's the internal system ram which limits the amount of equipment, not hard drive space.
And if Stegei is still listening, any chance of a patch that gives us the option to turn up the camera speed.

trogladitez is right, the limit is only dependent on the systems internal ram. So there is no way for you to change this limit, unless Sony decides to provide upgrade kits, with most probably is never going to happen.

trogladitez, what do you mean by camera speed?
