UPDATE To the error message people is getting yes I had That Message as well and like Der tod said this was my issue I had moved my fs 15 to a secondary drive due to my primary was full game worked fine but would not update I reinstalled game back to the drive I wanted it on and all is good now just so you know

I never moved the game or anything like that, thats why its wierd that it happened. Oh well, did install it again, as much as i love doing that.

How can I revert back to an earlier version? Since I updated to 1.4.2 the game is choppy and unplayable.

Uninstall FS15 then reinstall it and install the older patch.. Don't forget to make a backup of your MyGames folder so you can keep your savegames and mods.

Is there a way I can get an older patch from Giants? I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I have not saved the last couple patches anywhere. I only have the 1.1 and 1.2.

for you folks having trouble with the black screen and input not supported go to the files and set fullscreen to "0" and set the screen resolution to a lesser setting that is what I did to get it to launch then take the windowed mode off and set the resolution in the game's controls area.

Hello, the FPS down when I exit to desktop and back to the game, my pc isn't xtrem gaming but is good:

i5 4690
GTX 760 (driver update yesterday 24-05-2016)
16 GB Ram
SSD 128 GB

The configuration video setting is:

High
1920 x 1080 (16:9)
Antiliasing - 4
Filter - 8
Vsync - No
Adaptative Vsync - No
Windows Mode - No

Occasionally it appears as a wave from the bottom of the screen up.

I have had this before, close out of the game, then re-enter the game and should be good

This isn't solution, only happens with this game, is problem of the game.

FS17 also runs in Open GL?

Well, its the best you can do. I noticed if you have other programs as well running it can affect it too.

Yes FS 17, will run in Open GL.

I am not entirely sure what you mean here but I am guessing you mean you exit game via the Windows key or Task Manager (without quitting the game) then go back in again. Are you saying these FPS drops are when you get the wave going up your screen?

These to piece of info I have highlighted is why you get the wave. The wave is called screen tearing and it should look like a blurry line about 10-15mm thick that runs a path vertically up/down your screen.
This is caused because you have "V-Sync" turned off therefore the Frame Rate of the game is not the same as the refresh rate of your monitor and thus causing the tearing. Most recommend leaving "V-Sync" on as it eliminates screen tearing altogether. It will lock your frame rate to 60FPS if your screen has a 60Htz refresh rate, or 144FPS if you have a real nice new monitor that will refresh at 144Htz.

I had bad screen tear and changing the settings didn't work.Then i changed the refresh of the display to 59 and the screen tear was gone like magic.
That was a while back.Today i read this post and i was thinking let me just check my monitor settings and see if it's still on 59.To my surprise it was now on 60 BUT now it is locked and there is no other option but that's okay because now there is no screen tear
Oh well,computers eh,always something,one problem is solved and another one presents itself...

Just a question,what is the advantage of having 144fps?

You will not lag as easily, IMO I think having that much is pretty darn good! I would leave it that way, that will be very useful when it comes to heavily modded maps.

In Farming Simulator you most likely will not notice any difference! It is mainly for FPS and Racing games to get a crisper image while the frame changes. If you are in a race car and the screen refreshes 144 times every second then it is going to give a clearer image on fast paced or quick scene changing games such as FPS and racing than a screen that refreshes 60 times a second. It is like a video camera, the faster FPS you can get it to take a video at the clearer and smoother the video appears. A monitor works the same way, the faster it refreshes the faster every little change in the game is displayed thus producing a smoother feel to the game.
I haven't experience screen tearing in other games at different FPS. For example when I played battlefield I never had tearing at 200FPS even with a screen refresh rate of 60 htz. In FS15 it seems if you dare set the FPS different to refresh rate it tears.

Hi Guys, i am trying to download the classic DLC on a Macbook Air. I cant get the download to show in the game and dont know how to move the file to the game. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks
