well seems like we finally got it
now we gotta mess around and see what we can do

[Snake Man]

My editing computer got Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb video card, it cannot run Giants Editor v10 or v10.0.1, it just crashes with following error in editor_log.txt file:

Code: Select all

Error: 4294967292
vkWaitForFences() failed with error code -4, the GPU likely crashed.
vkWaitForFences() failed with error code -4, the GPU likely crashed.
vkWaitForFences() failed with error code -4, the GPU likely crashed.
vkWaitForFences() failed with error code -4, the GPU likely crashed.

And so on and so on, my highscore on editor_log.txt file size was 85mb of that vkWaitForFences() error lines.

Three gigabytes of VRAM is just not enough to run GE v10. Its really odd because I can run Farming Simulator 25 game itself with this GPU, yeah performance is not good but at least it runs.

My Gaming computer got Nvidia RTX 3060 12gb which does run GE v10 just fine, but yeah the problem is that my life is turned upside down if I have to shuffle editing tools and project files between two computers.

Guess the easiest way would be to simply rip Gaming computer apart, take rtx 3060 and slam it into the editing computer, that would solve many of my daily computer use problems, but then I wouldn't have Gaming computer anymore. I could of course play FS25 on my editing computer but not sure if RTX 3060 12gb is powerful enough to run that game AND 4k triple screen monitor windows 10 desktop at the same time.

I feel very frustrated by this, I waited so long to get GE v10 and into terrain editing, heck you guys have been asking if PMC terrains show up on FS25 as well, but now the editing is like walking uphill in a snowstorm. Yeah I know, first world problems, but dunno.

Guess I just have to jock up and get the stuff done, no if's or but's about it, get GRLEConverter, graphicsmagic, million batch files, GIMP XCF files, etc etc to Gaming computer and start hammering some edits, learn, document and write HTML pages as well.

Anyways, for those people who get some Giants Editor v10 video card GPU failed renderer errors, you're not alone, my editing computer is right there with ya

Farming Simulator 25 (FS25) game update v1.3 broke Giants Editor v10.0.2 compatibility, the game data is not compatible with GE, you cannot edit with GE v10.0.2 if you upgraded to FS25 v1.3 game, this is what reports are showing around the internet.

[Snake Man]

Reduced RAM and VRAM usage -source FS25 Changelog v1.3 game update.

Never had any problems running FS25 v1.2.1 even with my puny nvidia GTX 1060 3gb video card, certainly not with RTX 3060 12gb, however Giants Editor v10.0.2 will not even start (it crashes) on 3gb VRAM GPU. hmm while this fix was for the game itself, I wonder if this could have accumulative affect on the next GE version

[ARG_Afb]

new update fucked up GE

[ARG_Afb]

Hope a new version is released today or tomorrow otherwise i will have to go to the old version of FS

[Snake Man]

If you are on STEAM you can use steam feature to downgrade back to FS25 v1.2.1 until such time that giants release Giants Editor update.

If you are a proper giants supporter, meaning you bought all your farmsim games directly from giants, using giants website and eshop, you should have saved FS25 v1.2.1 installer files after installing it, yes it takes 19.5gb of HDD/SSD space to store those per update, but that is a small price to pay for some enjoyment in moments like this when GE breaks down due game update.

I have all FS19 and FS22 game installers archived for all update versions.

[ARG_Afb]

Yeah thankfully i have the steam version, so thankfully i can go back easily
but also good that you saved all the versions! (dammn that must take a lot of space haha)

[Snake Man]

Did you see this in the FS25 v1.3 game update changelog under editing:

Code: Select all

Fixed "New Mod from Game" feature in GIANTS Editor for maps

Now its confirmed that on the next Giants Editor update we get the fix for new mod from game being broken for terrain creation, excellent, cant wait for new GE update

Get it from Giants Developer Network (GDN) downloads, or GE v10.0.3 direct download link.

My poor old Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb video card (GPU) is still too old for running latest update.

GE v10.0.3 editor_log.txt with video card (GPU) being too old or well not enough VRAM:

Code: Select all

  Driver: Vulkan
  Device: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
  Api version: 1.3.280
  Driver version: 560.94
  Driver version is up to date.
  Level: Custom Very Low
Error: 4294967292
vkWaitForFences() failed with error code -4, the GPU likely crashed.
vkWaitForFences() failed with error code -4, the GPU likely crashed.
Warning: Failed to read render query results, error code: -4
vkWaitForFences() failed with error code -4, the GPU likely crashed.

That GPU likely crashed error is repeated endlessly making editor_log.txt tens of MEGABYTES in size.

thanks snake for posting a direct download link!
its a shame that your Gpu cannot run the new editor...
but hey at least you got your gaming computer!

[Snake Man]

Giants removed Giants Editor v10.0.3 download, its gone, poof! Dunno why. I managed to download and install it already, but yeah its no longer on the downloads page

[Snake Man]

Did you know that you can install several different versions of Giants Editor at the same time.

There is no problem with scripts directories, config files or log files getting overwritten, they are all located in specific GE version directories.

Personally especially now in the early days of a new game release, I simply keep installing these new versions and filling up my editing tools windows menu with them, once time passes on, things calm down and update frequency slows down, then I perhaps uninstall old(er) versions I have no use for.

[Snake Man]

Giants Editor v10.0.3 download link is back working, since few minutes ago. I downloaded and re-installed it on top of my previous v10.0.3 install, changelog file is the same.

[ARG_Afb]

its strange that they removed the download and posted again

[Snake Man]

My first Farming Simulator 25 (FS25) editing tutorials are up.

Terrain Editing Tutorial FS25 has been updated to link into Giants Editor v10 for FS25 page, which contains many sub pages for several smaller tutorials.
