So buying too many different of those can actually lead to a crash due to running out of memory (note that buying the second version of the same vehicle correctly only uses a very small number, usually just 1). Also the maps don't use as many slots as needed by the system.
This will be fixed with the next patch, so that the slot counts will match again with the PS4 version (the PS4 version doesn't have that issue).
If you did use that bug and bought more vehicles that what would have been possible with the correct system (and you were lucky that the game did not crash), your savegame will continue to work with the patch. However, you will have to sell vehicles until you get back to slot count smaller than the maximum allowed before you can buy new vehicles again.
So was there an improvement in the slot count with the last update with the maps?
FS 22 and loving it.

What he said, i was about to write this. :biggrin2:

Thanks Stegei!
Thanks for the update. That news is a tad disappointing, but at least we know the reasoning behind everything. Once again, I appreciate the effort that you all do behind the scenes so thank you for that.

Don't get too high and mighty just yet.... Remember Giants said they weren't sure why the slots went down, so they had to look into it. There is always the possibility of them reversing this.

Edit: right on cue. See Stegei's post

Luckily a few weeks ago I was afraid that they would reverse this, and so it will be but just in time I already have a PC I don't care about this anymore I hope they fix this for the good of both parties all happy, in PC there a few black lines and jerks but only that a slight lag

Im on Xbox one s, i have not had any issues at all, tried testing by maxing slots on a few maps and played for a few hours on each with no problems.

It would be good if it had of been possible to keep slots lowered and apply the same to PS4, but I that's obviously not happening.
Oh well,
If slot counts on vehicles get raised again it won't really bother me anyway as i generally try to set up my farms to specialise in a few certain types of animal farming/crops.
Rarely get close to maxing slots, if you try to include everything in one farm and own equipment to farm every crop and have a heap of buildings etc you will undoubtedly reach the limit.

The thing is more that we can't guarantee it and of course not everyone who experience a crash will write into this thread (Forums tend to be posted to only by a small fraction of the playerbase). Our Support has received cases where the lowered slot caused issues.

In my opinion it's a gamebraker bug, isn't it?
Should be patched asap.

I want to say that it should be patched before I possibly lost my savegame due to a possible crash caused by this bug. At the moment it is impossible to say how many slots I'm using in my savegame.

Don't use the extra slots try keep it say 20% under the limit etc.

So just for clarification,the maps still use the same amount of slots and this was just part of the "bug"?

I think he meant that it wasn’t just machinery that wasn’t being calculated properly, but obviously we can’t see the slots used by a map like we can with vehicles and implements in the store.
