Game no longer playable

[Breetoka]

Over 150 hours on my Save File, worked fine last night.
Today, Loading Bar Screen appears, and Glitches from 100% full to 75% and back and forth.
Can hear the game intro playing in the background, but still only see loading screen.

Can press "ENTER" twice to load save game (Even though I can't see anything other than loading screen) and game attempts to load. Extremely slow loading (Walked away for 30min, and it still hadn't finished.)

Any mods?

A few I grabbed from the game Content Menu only.
I thought about removing them and attempting loading again. But can't find where the mod files when viewing local files.

I even tried Un-Installing it from Steam, and re-downloaded it.
No change.

They're in Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025\mods, but just unticking them should be your first try.

Can't Un-Tick them... cause that's after the load screen.

Removed all mods. Game still glitches at load screen.

I'm fairly certain it's a problem with the Farming Simulator site, which all of the mods are connected to. https://www.farming-simulator.com is not working either. Attempting to look at the Downloadable Content page will not work, and restarting any Dedicated Servers that have mods will not work either. (last part is the problem I am having right now.)

Thank you Sistermatic. That fixed the issue, game loaded, and both saved files, and mods were working and in tack.

Perfect solution to my issue!

NP. I'm still not sure why this happens, it's not something I've experienced personally (yet) but it seems to be a fairly common issue. Next patch hopefully addresses it.

He is using onedrive for the farming simulator folder, that´s a bad idea as Steam will syncronize versus onedrive and then some shader stuff can get overwritten with an older version. Same can happen to savegames itself.

OneDrive should be always turned of for this.

That may explain why I've never had the issue. I don't use OneDrive.

The actual solution was waiting for the true problem, that I posted, was resolved. Shortly after I posted to inform you that their entire site was down, where all of their mods are stored (and even single-player games use it to verify files as it loads up), they got the site back up and running. I can promise you this was the problem as it effected everyone who tried loading up any games with mods during that 20-40 mins.
