I can't start farming simulator 2017

Post by martijn735 »

As my topic says, i can't start farming simulator 2017. It worked fine for a long time but suddently i couldnt start it (if i did, i got the loading screen and after a few seconds an error). I didn't download any new mods or changed anything.
This is my log (very weird):

Performance wise, your laptop is below the minimum requirements.
That doesn't mean that you can't play the game, but you should use the appropriate graphics settings (which would be low for you, certainly not high what's currently used). And it might be a good idea to install the latest GPU drivers as well.

If it ran before, there's a good chance it will run again with the correct settings and latest GPU driver.

You can go to
Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2017

or just copy the following line to the address bar of your file browser:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2017
There you'll find a file called "game.xml", or just "game" in case you have turned of showing the file extensions.
Open that file with a text editor and search for the following line:

Code: Select all

<performanceClass>High</performanceClass>
Change the "High" to "Auto". This will use the default graphics profile, which will most likely be low on your laptop. Then try again if you can start the game.
