Tried clearing the shader Cache folder, but the game has never launched even once, so the folder is empty. Cannot get the game to launch. Purchased through Steam if that changes anything. Have loved FS19 and played for years, did the upgrade to 22, and have yet to be able to even open the game. Please help.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Your graphics card is actually below the minimum requirements and it looks like the driver for it is quite old:

Code: Select all

Card Vendor: Intel
Renderer: Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620
Version: 25.20.100.6472 (10.12.2018)
Therefore I would recommend to try to update the driver for the graphics card, but if the game then still does not work you might need to consider investing in some new hardware.

I found an updated driver for it. I will try installing that and see if that handles it. If not, I will have to order a new graphics card for my desktop. This laptop is a loaner until mine is back from the shop and I know that one can run it, might just have been bad timing for the update. This one ran 19 great, but I am sure 22 is much more intense. Thanks. I will update with results of driver change.
