Circle of death / render distance (solved)

[Dustmuz]

Hello folks.

i am very much annoyed by 1 thing in the game.

Streamers early access version of the game, hardly had a ring of death / high render distance

now that i got my hands on the game, the very first thing i notice, after ramping up the games video settings to absolute max, is a very short render distance.

how in the f"#¤! do i increase that??
it was the 1 thing i was looking forward to not having anymore.

And before anyone asks.
all rendering distances are set to 200%



EDIT: Solution for me (PC)

1: Set the render distance to 50%
2: Save the settings
3: restart the game
4: go into a Map
5: go back to main menu
6: set the render distance to 200%
7: go back into the map and it is now much further out

Urrgg. I've just booted it up on the PS5 and super disappointed by this.

After trying out different things, i found the solution for me at least (PC)

1: Set the render distance to 50%
2: Save the settings
3: restart the game
4: go into a Map
5: go back to main menu
6: set the render distance to 200%
7: go back into the map and it is now much further out

Another little thing, if you use DLAA for example or DLSS. make sure you got latest Nvidia drivers or you just see the HUD and a black screen.

Very reassuring to see bugs like this when I am thinking whether to buy the game or not.

Take a look at the Steam Discussions, many more bugs and complaints. From being unable to change the language to not being able to start the game at all.

If you decide to get it, I recommend through Steam, since if you want to buy from Giants' website, you have to revoke your right to refund.

Seems straightforward and obvious. Not sure how you missed this.

Also if you want after exiting the game, open up your game.xml in your Farming Simulator 22 save folder, and you can manually increase these render distances and foliage distances above the 200% limited by the menu option in game. I have mine turned up to 400% in the xml and have no visible circle of death or render distance in game, also unlike in FS19 when I did this, I’m not seeing any performance or frame drop in FS22, I’m still getting 60FPS in the game. So I’m guessing the performance changes and upgrades Giants made to the engine, really work a treat for us PC guys really pushing for quality visuals.
