you could look in:
C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2017
and see if there is a log.txt created, which you can open with notepad and copy and paste what's in it to a reply.

if there is no log.txt created, then you could run DxDiag (DirectX diagnostics tool), then save the results to a text file, then copy and paste what's in it to a reply.

to run Dxdiag, hold down the windows key and press R, this should open the run dialogue box, in the window that opens called "RUN" type:

Code: Select all

dxdiag

wait for it to run, then press the "Save all information" button which will create a file called DxDiag.txt, the info in the first half of the file is the key bit, as it give a basic outline of your PC's hardware, i.e. CPU, GPU, soundcard, OS, DirectX level, and the relevant drivers.

you may also want to put the pasted info in spoiler tags

Code: Select all
