Farming Simulator 25 Leak and Announcement

[ARG_Afb]

hello everyone! fs25 has been leaked in EpicDB, now at least we know its real
im gonna be posting some news on this thread, also if the game reaches my expectatives or is better/has better physics/graphics than fs22... i might be coming back to the mapping scene
if you have any comments on this let me know, i got some ideas to start working on

[Snake Man]

Nice to see you again ARG_afb, yeah I saw djgoham youtube video news about it, did you notice how he screen captured PMC Farming website on his video, heh so typical, he is using PMC website content but doesn't talk about any of the PMC news and releases in his videos to spread the word

Not much known about Farming Simulator 25 other than the name, guess its a start.

You know me, I love farmsim, but also I have eyes and learn from experience, I have zero (0) absolutely no faith in giants software that they would make the next farmsim game engine better than previous, yes in FS19 to FS22 transition we got the multi core CPU threaded things which help a little bit, but then they destroyed large terrain performance again somewhere in v1.12 patch era or prior, so back to square one, I'm again getting 25-30FPS performance at worst with multiple vehicles (especially cultivators or plows) running on fields. I believe giants have said that they wont be switching to a new graphics engine and just keep building small incremental changes, patches so to speak, into the existing giants engine v9.0, so yeah I don't have my hopes up.

Of course I would love to get some real progress on the engine, to make it better in such way that game-play would be enjoyable across the board, but again when game engine is married to conzoles, there is not much hope

For me personally I still have work (editing/playing) to do in Farming Simulator 19, so I'm in no rush to jump into FS25 bandwagon

Will be keeping an eye on updates in the news and this topic for sure, please keep posting any news being released in the future.

Hey Snake! im glad to see you again too! yeah i saw the djgoham video, he used the fs series from the PMC website, he should have given the credits, i hope fs25 has some improvements on it, at least graphical improvements and not the cartoonish look fs22 has, i havent seen the 1.12 update, its a shame they destroyed performance on big maps...
but well lets hope giants gives up ps4 at least (that console has 12 FUC%IN& years

Here is giants software Farming Simulator 25 First Game-play Footage.

Looks like GPS is now in-game in FS25. Source timecode.

[ARG_Afb]

seems nice but the graphics look the same as fs22 and where is the terrain deformation?

[Snake Man]

Topic moved to brand new "Farming Simulator 25" forum area

[ARG_Afb]

awesome snake!

[Snake Man]

Its now one week until Farming Simulator 25 (FS25) release, I'm expecting the release same time as FS19 and FS22 which was midnight german time, which this year is UTC 2200hrs. So exactly one week from now at the time of this forum post, I have been playing FS25 for approximately one hour and 55 minutes

At least I hope so, if giants keep their old schedule and the game serial key activates as expected, plus of course that game starts up OK.

But yeah guys, one more week... ONE WEEK

[ARG_Afb]

its impressive, i remember when i first played fs11... Fs got so far to be such a small gaming market

[Snake Man]

Downloading FarmingSimulator25_1_2_1_1_ESD.zip right now from giants eshop

[ARG_Afb]

Awesome!

[Snake Man]

Oh right forgot to post, was a busy day yesterday, already installed FS25. Got the file structure list, looks like some of the terrain files have changed again and some added, some mask stuff.

Now its just waiting for monday nov 11th 2300hrs UTC when its midnight german time, when farmsim games usually have been released. Cant wait

[ARG_Afb]

Great! Have you examined the files? Has the map making process changed or you feel that not?

[Snake Man]

Terrain editing has not changed drastically judging by the files, there are changes but doesn't look like anything major. Of course we have to wait until Giants Editor v10 gets released before fully see whats changed. Tried to open mapUS in GE v9.0.6 but GE crashes with boat load of errors

[ARG_Afb]

Great info Snake!

Could not post a forum message as PMC websites were down due massive failure in web hosting companys side, but been watching a lot of live streams of Farming Simulator 25 (FS25) game-play over the past few days. It kind of lowers my excitement about FS25 release when I get to play it myself as many of these live streamers are very friendly to show different things about the game when audience requests etc, so everyone has pretty good idea how FS25 looks and plays now, there is very little surprises left anymore.

Of course its always one thing to watch some internet video/stream than to play the game itself on your own computer with your own two hands, I realized this with recent Sea Power game, it looked very good on youtube videos but when I finally got to play it myself I was blown away how excellent it truly is. Hopefully same thing happens with FS25, but I doubt it.

Yes I am counting the hours for 2300hrs (as I'm typing this 10hrs 15min or so), cant wait to play, but my expectations are much lower now than before these live streamer video maker clowns got that pre-release access and started to pump out clickbait videos/etc. But it is what it is, if you don't like it then shut yourself off from all the news services, its easy as that heh.

Its only ten hours of waiting, I can do ten hours standing on my head!

It is in grand scheme of things very exciting day as today... we all get to play the brand new Farming Simulator game engine. How cool is that, huh

[Snake Man]

One hour to FS25 release, mommy! I'm scared!

[ARG_Afb]

Wow! Just some minutes from now!

[Snake Man]

Been playing Farming Simulator 25 (FS25) non stop every day since release on nov 12th. Today, moments ago, was the first time I felt bored while playing in Riverbend Springs (mapUS), it is 2km as we all know giants terrains always are, its not even close as same kind of feel as elmcreek FS22, its even worse, much worse, than ravenport in FS19, I simply don't enjoy my time in there. Only reason I lasted this long was as there is no other terrains to play on, but now I have to do some HTML web work I've put off for days and then maybe I'll start to dig into terrain editing further than that "walter is gone" screenshot.

I'm waiting for Giants Editor v10 to be released, was expecting it to come soon after release this week, it didn't, then hoped it at least comes on friday before weekend, nope, didn't. So now many in the editing community are waiting for it for possibly tuesday, I mean if giants didn't have it ready on friday then most likely it wont come early monday either. But yeah this is all speculation, GE gets released when giants is ready heh.

But hey, maybe I'll get bored of HTML etc chores that have been queued while been playing FS25 and later today sunday or latest monday I will sneak back to riverbend springs and farm some, just because nothing else interests while waiting for GE release, dunno.

Just a small forum update as I've been busy playing, no time for posting

[Snake Man]

I'm writing this on UTC tuesday noon but to me this is still monday that I'm awake, did some video editing and continued to render videos all day today, that editing phase was painful as I wanted to get back to farming but had to get that chore out of the way. Then played most of the day, but had to call it an early night as just ran out of motivation energy, just had no desire left to farm when I was facing a new planting season with kverneland optima rs planter and its whopping 660 liter seed tank capacity.

Kind of disappointed that Giants Editor v10 was not released on monday or even so far yet today on tuesday.

For me today started with enthusiasm but ended with boredom, its kind of same as yesterday, fs25 default giants terrain + few community created mods that have been released so far, is not that interesting to me anymore, I need my own terrains and more basic functionality mods like autodrive, courseplay, guidanceSteering etc to just name a few, not sure how much could I play even if lets say I would port something like PMC North Dakota Greendale 4km quickly without trees and such, or simply create some fictional brand new design, because... there are no big equipment and those automation tools, am I supposed to field work by manual driving... I hardly think so, GPS is lovely but can only go so far

Anyways, was fun farming today, but I am SO ready for GE v10 now. Not sure how much I can play tomorrow if the editor wont get released today, guess in the end its something I have to do while waiting for editor release, its like "the night before christmas" or something

Could not think of a better topic to put this in, so this topic will do.

Question: I rented a dediserver for fs 25. But ground derformation is not working on the dediserver. Is this a bug?

Answer:

Ground deformation is currently not visible for multiplayer clients (the physics is however simulated as in single player). We are still working on potentially supporting this for multiplayer clients in the future, however there is no fixed timeline yet.
