Performance in Farming Simulator Signature Edition (Nintendo Switch 2)

[Ante96]

This is just beyond disappointing, game has been out for over a month, yet still no patch. I honestly regret buying it, what a shame.

I dont understand why no one from Giant has even said if these issues are being worked on they've only acknowledged it.

We really need someone from Giant to say something regarding these issues and give a rough timeline as to when we can expect an update if theres one coming at all

They released the game and never mentioned it again. It feels like abandonware honestly

Still no date but i would like to think with the "New content" they would fix the bugs

I just saw that, news at last! I really hope that means they'll improve performance

I have not purchased the Signature edition for Switch 2 until it is confirmed that a patch has arrived fixing the performance issues you all are mentioning.

I notice that yesterday Giants Software released a global patch for Farm Simulator (1.16.0.0). Do you know if this patch also applies to the Signature edition? If yes, have you managed to install it? If yes, has performance improved?

Looking forward to purchasing and playing this great game in the Switch 2 console! Thanks!

No, this patch doesn't apply to Signature Edition

On yesterday's "State of the Farm", they talked through the H1 roadmap, and mentioned a patch coming for Signature Edition.

"We will have a patch very very soon. This will make sure the performance, the stability of the whole game is way better than you might know it from now. So we make sure the game is good and playable."

Yeah, i watched the whole stream, Benni also mentioned that mod hub might be coming to Signature Edition. Hopefully we get the patch in next two weeks.

NO WAY. I'm genuinely excited now. Let's hope for the best

Here's the details of the invite for those that don't want to log into Discord:

This update improves overall performance in handheld mode, brings general stability enhancements, and includes a range of technical fixes and visual refinements.

It also adds several new machines from brands like John Deere, Case IH, Zetor, Dewulf, Krone and OXBO, alongside additional configuration options for selected equipment.

● John Deere 9RX Series (710–830)
● Case IH Vestrum Series
● Case IH Patriot 4450
● Zetor Crystal 16045
● Dewulf GCCI vegetable harvester
● Krone Swadro S 350 Highland
● OXBO 2340 windrower

I don't normally play in handheld, so I can't say if there is a noticeable performance increase. Docked play didn't seem better to me

I hope this isn't the only patch we get this first half year.

The framerate a bit higher overall, but the problem is that the framerate is not stable at all. If the game was fixed at a constant 30 FPS that would be amazing, but the problem is that it constantly fluctuates depending on where you're looking at.
Overall, I'm happy to at least see a patch and the game isn't being abandoned, but I can't say it has improved that much.

I've just downloaded the update now and honestly it's horrific in handheld mode. Its so inconsident with the frame rate, pop ins are now horrific, my tractor looks like it has an outline around it.

Honestly it's shocking, does anyone know of a way to roll back to a previous version because the one before was way better than this.

I'm so disappointed in this switch version, I also own 25 on steam and it's great there but thought the handheld version was a no brainer for enjoyment on the go but its honestly a waste of money with how badly it plays
