Game won't launch after update 1.51

[Irocrcr]

Downloaded the 1.51 update today, and now the game won't launch at all. Is there a way to uninstall this update. Running on a laptop comptuer running windows 10 and have never had an issue after 100+ hours of gameplay. This is not the steam version either. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

In order to be able to help it would be good if you could post the log.txt file of the game (see the link ' log.txt' in my signature) so that we can get a better idea about what is going on.

There's no error or warning in the log.txt which will make it difficult to figure out what is going wrong. But I'm guessing that the graphics hardware is the reason why the game no longer works:

Code: Select all

Render System
Driver: OpenGL
Card Vendor: Intel
Renderer: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
Version: 3.2.0 - Build 10.18.15.4248
Shader Version: 1.50 - Build 10.18.15.4248

This is an integrated graphics chip which uses the main memory and doesn't have any VRAM. This graphics hardware is below the minimum requirements, see http://farming-simulator.com/support.ph ... ticleId=33

So unless you have any other graphics card in this system then you will most likely be out of luck.

Why would it quit working after the update? I have played this game for hours on end on this machine without any troubles.

You should try updating your graphics driver, since it looks outdated according to the LOG.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/produc ... Processors <- This should be the right one for you.

Log does not say what size map he is trying to load, as I found none of the x4 maps I have downloaded would launch with 1.5.1, all stopped at the same point as above, 2 of which I have been playing and do not have any errors without the 1.5.1 update.
I have removed the update so I can continue to enjoy the game with the maps I want to play.
I will also say that a normal size map that I modded myself, for my own use only, and has no errors would not load with the update, same as above, so no clue as to why anywhere.
My drivers are all up to date and working fine, nothing was changed except the update, no windows update that day either, wish I could offer more help.

I found thit it has to do with the new fruittype sugarCane it registers it on all map even if your map dose not have sugarCane and the multifruit maps are max on fruittypes or filltypes I had to remove a filltype from my map then it loaded fine with patch 1.5.1,if you do remove one of the types it will change anything you have in heaps on the ground in a saved game or if your map starts with anything heaped on the ground.

[wickedset]

I have found why the games don't load after the update. You can only have 14 entries in the AdditionalMapTypes if you have useHeap="true", change the true to false and not use heaps and things will be back to normal.

I have a similar issue. My game crashes immediately after launch. Using Win 10 64 bit, tried rolling back the update from 1.51 to 1.4.4 and even 1.4 with no luck. I have moved my mods folder to another location with no luck and tried deleting the fs17 folder in documents/mygames I have even tried uninstall and reinstalling, even used verify file integrity in steam properties. Here is my log.

Edit don_apple: log.txt converted into spoiler for better thread readability.

If this is really the entire log.txt then it looks like an issue with our graphic card. You should c heck if there is a newer version of the driver for it, since the current one seems to be a few months old:

Code: Select all

Renderer: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Version: 21.21.13.7866 (9.2.2017)

No joy still crashes after updating drivers.

My issue resolved itself indicating it might have been caused by a win 10 update as my win 10 just did another update since the issue started
