Game hangs at loading screen

[Vicrod]

When I start Farming Simulator 22, the screen with the image I included opens, the game freezes and does not allow me to go beyond this point. In the lower right corner of the image, the box that identifies "Access the Steam community" begins to shake from top to bottom and it is at that moment that the "Loading..." image is blocked.
I have uninstalled FS22, reinstalled it and updated Steam and the situation remains the same. This only happens with FS22 and not with any other program. This is the first time this has happened in all the years I've been playing FS22.

Validate your files, if that doesnt do it, rename your mod directory. If that works, slim down on mods, or add RAM.

[Vicrod]

I have validated and verified all files in Steam. I reinstalled Farming, reinstalled Steam and reinstalled my graphics card GeForce RTX 2080 super and I only use 20 mods and my RAM is 32GB. I dont know what else I can do and Steam says that they dont know either. I have been playing FS22 until day before yesterday for about 1.200 hours and I have never had problems with the program.

Try it without mods. It is most likely a mod conflict since the update that is causing the issue.

[Vicrod]

I also did that, removed the entire mods folder and also deleted the game.xml file as suggested by Steam.

Open log and chek errors

[Vicrod]

Ok I opened the log.txt file at C:/...MyGames/FarmingSimulator2022 and this is the begining of errors at almost the end of the file:
Warning: Tried assigning the binding [(BUTTON_19), deviceId: 0_044F-B67F-0011-XFw/XEhJRCNWSURfMDQ0RiZQSURfQjY3RiM3JjE2MTZhYTUxJjAmMDAwMCN7NGQxZTU1YjItZjE2Zi0xMWNmLTg4Y2ItMDAxMTExMDAwMDMwfQA=, axisComponent: +, index: 1, isActive: true, isShadowed: false isInverted: nil, isDown: false, isUp: false, inputValue: 0] to GS_ROTATE_TRACK to an occupied slot.

What does it mean?

[Vicrod]

What should I do with this errors? Delete them from the log, save log and restart. I did that and the problem persists. Any ideas please.......

[WovenArtifact36]

the failure will be at the end of the list in the log file or the start of the repeating errors with the same coding

the issue that a lot of us have had after the recent update had to do with DirectX 12 and the game not loading past 20%. That issue was fixed by going to the game.xml and changing the rendering to DirectX11 but hopefully this is temporary as things don't load as smooth with this setting.

[WovenArtifact36]

As a recent discovery the issue with DirectX 12 was with the maize plus mod

[Vicrod]

At this moment I uninstalled my graphics card and made a new fresh installation. I made backup copies of my savegames, mods folder, usmap.id3, wheel and pedal settings, saitek settimgs and couple other files. De-installed FS2022 at Steam and deleted Farming Sim at MyGames folder. After all ,that reinstalled FS2022 again and pasted all my backups in their respective folders. Everything is working perfect now. All this took me a couple of hpurs, but I solved my problem.

i tried it aswell but i have no change, the problem is still a part off my game
EDIT: after replacing every singel file in context to fs22 it atleast loads me to 28% but at this point it just says not responding for half a second before i get a ctd

How do I change it, I can’t do anything to change the 12 to 11
