Why is there no updates to the game since release?

[Deathless]

That be said its been 1 weeks now and zero feedback from the devs or any kinda updates to the game...The more I play farming sim 25 the more it feels like its just a reskin of fs22 Theres really nothing in fs25 that isnt in fs22 other then the new engine that is it. Theres plenty of bugs on day one of release that havent been fixed , AI is terrible they are the slowest expensive workers that do a worse job and cost you more money to do it. The AI is just a mod that was in fs22 giants didnt even make the AI better they just piggy backed off the modders and threw it into fs25 this isnt an upgrade at all. The entire game is just a copy and paste from FS22 to FS25 There is really no noticable upgrade. I spent about 65 hours playing it so far and it feels exactly like it is fs22 it feels like fs22. The Audio in FS25 is terrible it cuts in and cuts out constantly. The youtubers promoting the game ignore all these issues and dont tell anyone about them.
Has anyone else played FS25 and was like wow this game is so much better then FS22? Im still waiting for this to happen for me.

I actually had the moment where i said wow this game is better compared to FS22 and it only can and will get better in future.

I just checked. There literally is no update. The launched the game 9 days ago, and then just dipped out. No updates or posts or newsposts or anything. And it's not just 9 days, the game has the same issues and everything it had a week before that when creators had early access.

FS22 took almost a month after release for the first patch, and if you did a search, you'd find a link to Steam.db with info on a new version number.

Out of curiousity, are you comparing FS22 with 1500 mods vs FS25 unmodded or are you comparing base game vs base game?
I did a testrun of FS25 within the 2hour limit and you can tell right away FS25 is FAR better than FS22 was at release in every area except the maps being really bad imo.

There is NO updates to this game. Whate evr i slistedn on SteamDB is NOT a game update.
What you see is the "Last Change Number": App and package updates do not even have to be related to the app/package itself as Valve does periodical changes to a batch of apps/packages. Usually when such a change happens, it affects many apps at once.

For a changenumber to change on an app that hasn't been active in months, it's more likely a useless change rather than a sign of life.

What you can see is the list for "Displaying change 26267232" (Nov. 19)
which is this: https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/16462760/

I might have been half a sleep when I wrote my last reply, but I was referring to this: https://steamdb.info/app/2300320/history/?changeid=26267232

You have to look under https://steamdb.info/app/2300320/depots/

The "public" depot is the one players have access to. It was last updated 10 days ago.

release1.3.0.0/testing is only available to closed beta testers.

Yes, I'm aware of that, hence why I wrote, that I might have been half a sleep during my earlier comment, been playing too much and sleeping too little, damn this game.

I have both, and with all the DLC/mods disabled/un-installed, and just both base games, FS25 looks better, the terrain is more interactive, the... uhh... AI is a bit better.... uhh, that's it. Those few little things are the only inprovements, but the vehicles offerings seem underwhelming

Now, let's look at the performance... Certain menu items/graphical settings are broken or only partially functional, the game gets random stutters once in a while, the screen flickers black, textures on the environment/terrain flash all white, the game crashes sometimes, menu controls seem unresponsive sometimes, certain contracts are broken/uncompleteable. I only played a short time due to the issues, and that's all I noticed in that short period. FS22 just works. Buttery smooth, no crashes, and way less resource utilization. Those are the REAL IMPORTANT FACTORS, being the actual core game functions. Not tracks in dirt, or a stupid tornado that doesn't make wind blow the trees/brush.

So, maybe if you haven't interacted with the parts of the game that are broken, play on low settings so visual changes are more apparent, and play at lower resolution locked at only 60fps on AMD hardware (apparently less prone to flickering issue?), and have only experienced the base game of FS22, then FS25 may seem like a real inprovement. But if you're running at max or above max settings at 100+ unlocked fps, tracks and fog are pretty much the only inprovements, but come at the cost of all the other issues.

The addition of the GPS and AI changes kinda suck. They were trying to integrate mod features like course play into the base game, but it doesn't matter. It's literally WORSE than the mod from FS22, so we still need to wait for course play anyways, meaning those changes are irrelevant.

It's not how it works. Devs pickup feedback and will do a big patch, it make no sense to just fix fast those 3-4 things in the first week (which are absolutely no game breaking) and to more small patches after. It make more sense to wait 2-3 weeks and release a unique big patch that fix everything.

How silly all those devs that makes regular quick fixes and are more responsive on the community.
Better go radio silent and drop something without any announce.

I do not use mods for either of them...

Not really you dont release a game that is broken and you know its broken and take a vaca for a month there is always a day 1 patch and giants clearly dont care that much.

Except the development team is not the patch team. Fact is they are entitled to time off, whenever they want by law. Just because you do not like it is irrelevant.

ALso fact is the game is not as bad as you are making out. This game has less issues than many others at release. MSFS2024 just had an absolutely horrendous launch, and that is the largest software developer on the planet called Microsoft.

This game runs absolutely fine for me, and only has a few minor AI issues and one of two map errors. That's SOP for a games launch.
