What players say
The game is so under optimized it stutters like an old grandma on late stage Alzheimer, I guarantee you won't get any closer to 60FPS even with a NASA Super Computer.
Really want to like this game, but there are far too many bugs to make me want to put any more time into it. Buggy farm hands, vehicle control glitches, vehicles I purchased disappearing from the game, etc. The game is 8 years old now, so it's clear the devs aren't interested in fixing anything. I'll keep that in mind when I run into any other games from Ice Flames.
Great farming game to play if you can't afford Farming Simulator 25, its actually pretty good
