Game screen freezes

Post by Caker »

Hello.
I am writing to you about my problem with game working. I bought Farming Simulator 15. After instaling it and inserting FS2015 key everything works. I can launch game without any problems (although it takes some time to load the game, and after pressing "Start" I must wait about 30 seconds to play.
But then a problem occures. If I start running or if I buy an item and I want to use it (for example:if I buy a chainsaw and try start it) the game freezes! It happens every time.
When I open task manager, it says that "Farming Simulator does not respond". After closing it it writes that "Giants Engine does not respond".

I looked on FAQ and tried everything - I reinstalled game, updated graphic drivers etc.

Please help me.

I had similar issues when I got FS15 I found the fix that worked for me was changing the renderer to DX9 instead of using OpenGL(seems really buggy) I haven't crashed at all using DX9.

How to change the renderer to DX9:

1: Go to "My Documents/My games/FarmingSimulator2015" open "Game.xml" in notepad or notepad++(if you got that)

2: Now place "<renderer>D3D_90</renderer>"(without the quotes) under "</scalability>".

Now hopefully the game shouldn't crash anymore for you.

Thanks a billion, finally You resolved my problems of the FS15. Each time I bought new tractor or loader and made a look on it, my game crashed. After this changing in the game.xml file I can now play FS15 in medium details (not only low) and without crashes of the Giant engine.
Again many many thanks.

Your welcome :D. In my opinion Giant should make the DX9 render default for windows users. OpenGl just doesn't work right.

So, sad and angry said, FS 15 is really pi** my off. After good play (in directx rendering mode), my game in one time crashed and it was in menu screen, after this was unable to start loaded game. So I changed back the rendering to openGL and now I have it like before, I cant buy any new holland tractors, no Krampe trailler, because it causing my game crash. I did made the changes in setting the graphics, but no help. I really waiting whether the GIANT programers will issue new upgrade for repairing the GIANT engine to prevent it to crash.

I dont know what happened, but yesterday was issued new update for GeForce driver and after this update the game is running well. Using the OpenGL rendering system. Sometimes the screen freezes, but the game not crash, in two seconds the game continuing (its maybe due to loading the textures). So harvesting the fields again. *thumbsup*
