Game minimizes

[wheelchairman36]

Never had this problem before but when I try playing the game it keeps minimizing to the taskbar. I keep clicking on it and keeps minimizing to the taskbar.
I ram maleware and restarted several times and keeps doing it. It makes the game unplayable because happens all the time.

May we see your log.txt so that we can see if there is something wrong with your game? Instructions are in my signature.

We can't read your log.txt because it requires us to have a gmail, did you read the instructions?

As said in the file names these are mod packages which need to be unzipped (Bitte entpacken is German for please unpack). Inside you'll probably find one or more zip-files to be put into the mods folder. Maybe an explanation of the mod is also included. The package itself should be removed from the mods folder.

Error: Invalid mod name 'John Deere Planters Pack'! Characters allowed: (_, A-Z, a-z, 0-9). The first character must not be a digit

Maybe this is a mod package as well (see above). Otherwise there is something wrong with the file's name. Maybe you can rename it according to the shown rules or remove it from your mods folder.

These mods seem to cause errors so I would remove them from the mods folder.

Code: Select all

Load mod: GuelleMistMod
Load mod: zzzGuelleMistMod

Are you sure you need both versions of this mod for the map you are playing?

Code: Select all

Load mod: Kernstadt2015
Load mod: OGF_USA_MAP2015
Load mod: paradiseHillsV1ByStevie
Load mod: Westbridge_Forest_V4

It's strongly recommended to have only one map at a time in the mods folder, because sometimes integrated scripts interfere. The game loads every map and mod that you have in the mods folder even if it's not used in the game you are playing at the moment.

Code: Select all

Load mod: multiFruitModule_BRVRINGWOODSLAKESIDE
Load mod: ZZZ_multiFruitModule_OGF_USA

Are you sure you need these multiFruitModules for the map you are playing?

Code: Select all

Load mod: placeableCarWash
Load mod: placeableCarWashV1_1

Do you really use both of them?

You should remove these two mods. The third one is correctly loaded by the game.

Code: Select all

Load mod: placeable_seedPallets_LS15
Error: Failed to open xml file 'C:/Users/walter/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2015/mods//placeable_seedPallets_LS15/modDesc.xml'.
Error: Missing descVersion attribute in mod placeable_seedPallets_LS15

You should remove this mod from your mods folder. There is one version of the mod already correctly loaded by the game.

Still the same. Here is the new log. log.txt

[JohnDeere318]

I would just backup your Farming Simulator 15 folder from Documents/My Games and then do a complete uninstall and reinstall your game...

Also, do you have the Gold Add-on updated to v1.1.0? It could be the DLC that is causing the problem too. Holmer DLC v1.1.0 caused my game to crash, so I only use v1.0.0.

When prompted, click "Yes" when it says "Do you want delete all Savegames?" Remember, you have your items backed up I hope.

[Der_Tod]

Did you change the resolution of the game or the full screen mode?

Regards
Der_Tod

[JohnDeere318]

I agree with @Der_Tod, you could have the option changed to "Windowed Mode" instead of full-screen.

[wheelchairman36]

Should I have the resolution the same as what the desktop is?
I did do the backup and reinstalled the game and steam and didn't work.

[JohnDeere318]

Should I have the resolution the same as what the desktop is?

Yes.

[wheelchairman36]

Left the screen resolution and took from full screen to windowed mode and works fine. TY everyone.

Glad your game is fixed!
