What would change D3D_12 to D3D_11? What do I get? He writes about rendering. My game is not a Steam version, I bought a digital copy of the game from Giants software.

When I start the game from the desktop by clicking on the game icon, this window that lasts more than a minute appears.


After that wait, I get this information. When I click "OK" the game starts.


But when the game is launched from the folder "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Farming Simulator 2022 \ x64" then there is no problem with starting the game there is no window that waits for more than one minute.

And not to write about the problems with the steering wheel and FFB, it's just awful. And to almost forget, I duly paid for this Bonus Bundle Mack Black Anthem, the Fendt 900 Vario Black Beauty and the Zetor Z-25 K and the game says I need to unlock. Although I got a key from the Giants Software that is typed in during installation. Thank you for any information and advice.

I have tried running from the folder and the x64 folder, nothing. Still says "the program cant start because d3d12.dll is missing from your computer. I have tried reinstalling it, nothing.

The game wont even try to lanch... it just sits there...

Its not clear to me that when you re-install the game to you also re-install the DLC? If so, do not re-install the Claas DLC. This specific DLC is the root of the problem for many with the game will not start issues.

Worked for me, hope this helps.

I have read all of the above and none of it makes sense to me as I am not very good on computers. I watched all the video's but most spoke so fast I couldn't understand what they were saying. I'm 82 and hard of hearing but love this game after FS19 so am trying to upgrade. I cannot get the game to open up and play??????

Now I don't have a clue how to find any of the game files through steam, nor how to download mods not in the game itself. But the bugs I had are not in the new Game and I'm really enjoying playing Lazy Acres with the big fields. Reminds me when I was a boy in Central Illinois working for farmers driving tractors starting at age 11 (I was big for my age then). Really relaxing to me at 83 to play this game.
