Saving

Post by M_D_F »

Hi, I am a new player. I walked to the equipment shop. Saved the game and quit. When I reloaded the saved game I was back at the starting point on the farm and had to walk there again. Is that right or is it not saving properly?

Thats right. It reloads at your spawn point which is usually whereever the sleep trigger is on your farm ( I think). If you are on pc I think there is a mod that lets it load where you saved

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am getting to know the game now. Good fun ahead I think.

I have one other question though. I am trying to delete a joystick assignment for the command "open menu" which has been automatically assigned. The options menu says this action can't be assigned to a joystick/ gamepad button but seems to have assigned one by default anyway which I can't remove. How do I delete this assignment, I want to use the button (thrustmaster gear lever) for something useful and if I try to delete it offers to set everything to default, which I obviously do not want to do.

I have temporarily solved the issue by deleting the file 'input binding.xml' and then plugging in a gamepad I will never use before running the game with my wheel, pedal and gear lever unplugged. It then creates a new input binding.xml file and assigns the "open menu" command to one of the buttons on this gamepad. I then save game settings, remove the gamepad and boot with the actual joysticks, wheel, pedals and gear lever I am going to use to play. The command "open menu" stays permanently bound to a button on the gamepad that will never actually be plugged in and used. This workaround is working so far but is there a proper fix, like editing a config file to remove the assignment which I assume is a software bug?

Hi Mike, this is not related to this topic, but first welcome to the game.
I wanted to share the tutorial section with you where you can find a lot of info about the game and how stuff works.
You can find it in the game as well in the menu, but here is the online version: https://www.farming-simulator.com/newsA ... ews_id=280

Happy Farming :hi:

Regards,

Mike (also :P)
