Game crashing

[anthonyspanberger]

when ever i try to open Farm Sim it wont even try it will just crash i've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it multiple times if anyone can help me that would be well appreciated

First line of defense against crashes in this game is to delete the shader_cache folder in your Documents->Games->Farming Sim follder.

are you sure your Spec is good for the game? no error message? just a black screen and return to desktop?

The first thing you should _always_ do in case of trouble: view the log file.

If you have uninstalled and re-installed the game but still crashes it is none of the usual reasons. When you uninstalled the game did you check that there is nothing left in the User folder related to FS19? Another thing is after re-installation, you didn't copy-paste any mods or savegames from a backup folder, right? If none of these can help it might be your specs. I cannot think of anything else.

yes my game is doing this any advise its working for long but not these last few days

The log file is in Documents\My Games\Farmingsimulator2019\log.txt - take a look and see if there is anything there (latest messages at the end). Get rid of any mods or move them to backup(mod folder same place as log). Try deleting game.xml in the same folder (or, again, move it somewhere). You'll loose settings but a new default game.xml is created when you start the game.

That's about all I can suggest.

Well assuming you are on a PC not a console, and assuming you are on Windows 10 then if you don't have a Documents shortcut on the desktop you can either:

1) Click the start menu and select the second of the small icons down the left hand side (the one that looks like a document).

2) Double click the desktop icon with your name and then you'll see the Documents folder in there.

Here's another quick shortcut (assuming Windows, blahblah)

1. Windows - Run (also Windows Key-R). NOT magnifying glass (search) icon
   
2. plug in (with quotation marks)

   "%UserProfile%\Documents\my games\FarmingSimulator2019"

3. Hit enter to open your FS19 documents incl config, saves and mods.
