Fs17 wont start
Hi
When I try to start up the game I get an error message saying.
Error: Could not init 3D system.
Shader model 3.0 is required.
Please install the latest video drivers.
Download latest GPU driver now?
I have done this twice just to make sure.

Re: Fs17 wont start
I have been running the game fine since Nov 2016 up until I tried to play it the other day.
Re: Fs17 wont start
The error indicates an issue with the drivers for your graphics card. According to a thread in the german section (viewtopic.php?f=882&t=111462#p863447) either a complete reinstallation of the graphics card driver could help, or you'll need to try to install an older version of the driver for your graphics card.

Re: Fs17 wont start
I had the same problem and took my computer to a Microsoft store (where I bought it). They were able to get it fixed so it would start. I wish I could tell you exactly what they did but they didn't even know, but it did involve DirectX at startup. Sorry I can't be of more help, hopefully you are more technically savvy than I am.

Re: Fs17 wont start
Somehow I ended up with two drivers. Uninstalled one and the game started again. I have just updated the game and it is now very slow and unplayable.
Is this a problem for lots of people from the latest update?

Re: Fs17 wont start
latest update 1.5.3.1 surely done something ... ran this game no problems till I updated after the update pops up can not init 3D system shader model 3.0 is required
I am working on trying to figure it out but will keep checking to see if anyone can come up with a solution before I do
Before Update to 1.5.3.1 version 1.4.4
After the 1.5.3.1 update
Well from Microsoft with big bold words to all developers that use Microsoft Studio ... they told all developers that D3D11CreateDevice will fail if you dont have there updated DX D3D11.1CreateDevice files

Re: Fs17 wont start
I think you may have removed the wrong driver. I see you have a CPU with integrated graphics. Do you also have a dedicated graphics card? I'm not 100% sure if it shows up when you removed the driver, but you can try looking at Device Manager (Richt click the start button > Device Manager, or just search for it in the start menu), and then look under Display Adapters.
The bad performance now is most likely due to the fact that you're now playing on the integrated graphics, which are usually not designed for gaming, but for doing some desktop work like browsing.
What I think happened is that your newest driver for your graphics card messed up somehow, you now removed it, so the error doesn't appear anymore, but you're playing on the integrated graphics because of it.
If you can, please post a screenshot of the Display Adapters in the Device Manager. It would also be helpful if you can tell us the model / make / model nr of the machine you're playing on, in case the GPU doesn't show up in Device Manager.

Re: Fs17 wont start
I went a little off the deep end and reinstalled windows
not only was I dealing with the issue mentioned but also dealing with the flawed update from microsoft as well

This is the model of the laptop I am using.
Samsung Series 3 NotebookNP355V5C

How do I remove the latest update without doing a system restore as my laptop has not made any restore points?
Thanks

Re: Fs17 wont start
For some it could be as simple as a driver update, but I think you hit upon something from Microsoft. I was working just fine until I updated Win 10 to Build 17074, now it doesn't matter if I'm running 1.4.4 or 1.5.3 or if my drivers are the most current or rolled back to mid Dec. I get the exact same error. I'm actually on the slow distribution of MS's insider Preview so if anything this issue has been around for a couple months. If it's a change in how D3D works for future versions of Win 10, GIANTS needs to patch for it as sooner rather than later this version of Win10 will be out in the general public.tom42728 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2018 8:45 pm latest update 1.5.3.1 surely done something ... ran this game no problems till I updated after the update pops up can not init 3D system shader model 3.0 is required

Re: Fs17 wont start
I am looking at building a gaming PC for this and FS 19 and I am wondering if a CPU with integrated graphics would be able to run the games instead of buying a separate graphics card? Or is it better to just get a graphics card? thanks for any input.

Re: Fs17 wont start
R5 doesn't have integrated graphics and no you would be better off getting a dedicated graphics card although the upcoming Ryzen APU's are supposedly going to have very good integrated graphics.

Re: Fs17 wont start
Hey! I think I solved it!
Open the XML document titled "game" in "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Farming Simulator 17" with word pad or notepad (anything besides OneDrive), then where you see <renderer>D3D_11</renderer> change it from D3D_11 to D3D_12. Then save and close the file. when you launch the game you will see a different message pop up, click yes and the game will launch as normal.
This worked for me and now the game launches fine without the error. I run Windows 10 (which comes with DirectX 12 and Shader Model 5.1) and have a Nvidia Quadro FX 570 graphics card
Hope this is able to help, guys.

Hi
Thank you for the solution that you posted. I did this on mt laptop and it worked for me. I found your post a day after I got a new gaming PC but I would of had to upgrade soon for 2019 and laptop is getting old anyway. Thanks again.
