So, because of few people who didn't upgrade their console, I lose functionnality?

Just add a trigger or an auto-detect function jeez....

Seriously Giants, you're better then this.

I thought they already have - because when I played on my ancient Lenovo E430 I was getting reduced terrain angles where, on the same map, on my desktop I saw all the angles.

It's unlikely to affect me personally, as I won't be playing much on the supplied maps.

It visually strips the graphical detail but still has the data.

More than a few.
And all the people with low spec PC’s.
And low bandwidth internet.

Well i'm sure there's a way to implement something regarding the hardware that is used by the player.

Not saying that will be easy...but i'm 100% sure this is possible.

Lol. The game hasn’t been released yet. Why not make multi terrain angle part of the game instead of a scheduled update a day or two after release. I think someone is pulling your leg.

Just to add some meat to the bones above, in the polls GIANTS posted on StrawPolls and Youtube console players were asked if they intended to play on last gen consoles or current gen. Last gen won by a significant amount.

Nearly 70% of console players on Youtube voted they were going to play on last gen consoles, while 56% on the StrawPoll one said the same. The poll results are at the end of this post.

Let's say of that of the two million sales of FS19 purchases that were reported two years ago (it will have gone up since of course, but let's use that as it was fact) that 55% of the players are on consoles (45% of the first million sold were on PC). That's around 1.1 million console players in total. The figures from the polls suggest that around 64% of console users expect to be on last gen consoles, which is 700,000 sales, or at £30 per game sold (allowing for the fact that the price would have started higher and dropped more recently) that's around £21 million of income! And that doesn't include DLCs or Season Passes, for which we have no data, though it also can't guess how many will upgrade consoles during FS22's game cycle.

A lot of the above is conjecture based on around 12,000 votes rather than 2,000,000, but whichever way you cut it, it's not "a few people"!

Could just buy a pc if your that upset by it.

???

I do have a PC, that's why I don't want to be impacted by those who have an older console...

Oh well modders will just add it in again. They only ones that will suffer will be console users.

Or older PC…

My guess is that there is a lot of pc players running min. Specs as well, how would these hold up?

My old Lenovo laptop falls back to 45°

So, the stats are really showing that most of the virtual farmers are too cheap to upgrade, and expect Giants to cater to them.

It's not really too cheap given new graphics cards are like hens teeth, and those that are available are sometimes selling at 100% more than their value and have been even higher than that in the last year.

Even some old graphics cards have been selling for more second hand than they did originally!

I was extremely lucky to get a 3060 TI at MSRP, and that was only as I got a notification the instant they appeared in stock - they sold out within half an hour and that was by far and away the longest they've been on sale yet here.
