the game opens to the loading screen and completely exits the game without even loading for 5 seconds. I cant play the game at all. This started after i played a few hours and now its unplayable. I try again every so often to only encounter the same issue with no fix

Farming Simulator 17 offers a surprisingly relaxing gameplay loop centered around planting, harvesting, and managing a growing farm. Operating a wide selection of licensed vehicles and equipment adds a satisfying level of authenticity, while expanding your farm gives a steady sense of progression. It's a slower-paced experience, but it's rewarding for players who enjoy planning and management.

Farming Simulator 17 is a classic. It is outdated, but it still has a charm. There is something about the graphics and the atmosphere in the game that make it relaxing to play. If you want a great and realistic experience with a good looking Farming Simulator, this is not the game for you. If you want a classic farming game you can relax with and do some simple farming without the complications of the better realism …

This game still holds up in 2026. I'd love to try FS25 but I'm having so much fun with this version that I'm in no hurry. You could pick up this game on a sale for less than $5. There was a fix that I had to use to fix a common problem that kept the game from loading and I'll include it below. Once the game loads you'll have countless hours of work ahead of you. the graphics are pretty good for a game from 2017 and …

At first glance, the idea of running a virtual farm …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Reception of the Farming Simulator series has been mixed across all titles, with critics praising its sense of relaxation and array of realistic machinery and vehicles. Some have criticised the games for their repetition and lack of interesting mechanics, while others argue such qualities should be expected in a simulator. Though the series targets the audience that are knowledgeable in the farming industry, the series is generally liked by both farmers and non-farmers alike.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable. Will not load past the startup loading screen and crashes right back to steam like nothing happened. I gave some time to see if it had been patched but one year later and still same issue. Update, don't have internet on when loading the game. For what ever reason, it doesn't like it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I came for peaceful farming. I stayed because I flipped a combine harvester into a river and spent 3 hours trying to rescue it with a forklift. They said farming is hard work. They didn’t tell me I'd accidentally hire an AI worker who plows my neighbor’s field while I do donuts in the wheat. This game taught me: Cows need food. Tractors are expensive. Logging is a dark art. And my friend should never be allowed near heavy machinery again. There’s something weirdly satisfying about…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a great game . Loads of fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I only reccomend this game if you're into farming, otherwise don't bother. It's a fun game at the start but then it becomes a chore simulator, breeding animals is the most boring task cause there's so much to do, but other than that I mostly enjoyed this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game. I can run it on lower settings with my potato laptop. The fans sometimes kick on, but that's about the only trouble I have. It did corrupt my save file one time, but that was partially my fault, I think, because I quit while it was saving. It gives me a lot of insight into the basics of farming and fieldwork. I also enjoy stealing random stuff from places that aren't my property by sticking them in the back of the default pickup (the Lizard Rodeo, I think) and driving off.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good gameThat I enjoy a lot. I'm doing a lot of YouTube videos on it and it helps me to just sit down and relax and enjoy some gaming without blowing things up or killing people. Which I do as well but still, it's a good game to relax to. Definitely recommended
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was the first game I ever played, so there's lots of bias. I personally think this game has the perfect blend of gaming features, graphics, performance, and nostalgia. It's the ideal game for me. I would suggest you get it, and try. If it's not what you're looking for, refund it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEST FARMING EVER MADE
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely loved this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would reccomend to buy the newer versions that release every second year (Ex: FS 2021, FS 2023, FS 2025), the older versions just don't have a reason to buy them, unless your collecting them on your steam account. Personally in this one the graphics are very outdated (I'm saying this in 2026). One of the things that are nicer about this version is that it's simplified compared to the newer versions in my opinion.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →lost my farm to the bank ruined my life
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My family's been farming this land for 62 hours and all I got was some lousy achievements. It's a bit of fun though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I only recently picked up this game and it is definitely the best farming simulator out there, coming from someone who has over 60 hours in both fs15 and fs19. Unfortunately the game will not launch when you're connected to the internet on Windows 11, you can fix it but you won't be able to access any online functions, meaning you'll have to manually download mods from giants' website. I'd recommend this game as the best one in the farming simulator franchise. It has the nicer, simpler graphics…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game. I am still trying to figure out mods but everything has been working smooth.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game if you like farming games is can run very good on low end pc
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got very stable frametime in my device, love it. o(*￣︶￣*)o
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game to pass the time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very good game brings back memories still performs just aswell as fs 25 and 22 mods are very good. recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though most of the good vehicls are more for the "end game" its still fun and very relaxing the game, if your tired of using the same vehicles, just get some mods for the game to get different vehicles maps, or something else. Its not always necessary to get the New farming simulators. I used to have 19, but i switched to 17 and im enjoying a lot the game. Always find a way to make this game fun and enjoyable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its fun. Especially if you have good mods! My favorite map is Letton Farm.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →is so fun!!!!!!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cant play it, simply wont work on a windows 11 laptop with a rtx 3070 graphics card. What a load of nonsense!!! Im not buying the newer games, i dont want them, i want to play this one! Cheeky.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you are a fan of farming sim and would like a throw back this is the game to revisit.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →is not horking is realy is not good in my windows fix your game giants software
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very good, even years later when fs25 is out I still play this game. would recommend! (I have not only played 4.8 hr son this game, got it back in the day of giants website.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game actually comes with no instructions, you play as a Farmer and there are no Rules. There are plenty of helpful tips and ideas along the way. What this game does is it teaches you just where you food comes from, and all the processes it takes and how it gets to your plate ! Yes ok it virtual but if you were to find your local farmer and ask him what it takes to get your food on your plate then he may well say to you Try playing Farming Simulator and that will show you what happens
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyed playing this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i tried to load the game the other day and the game tried to load then just stops then closes right away. would not recommend until they fix the game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game becomes funny with mods but sometimes the mods can glitch the game It's still good for a game that's almost 10 years old
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →help ive been cutting down trees for 8 hours straight.....
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best games to exist. Better than FS25, 22, 19 and 15 combined, the nostalgia beats all.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very peak game, in fact. The first one I ever played.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My first full game with the series and it fully hooked me. Much more fun than it should be but now i'm 3 games in and will hopefully keep playing for decades
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its the golden age of farming simulator

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's old but still cool!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun game love it to much i had to add mods and delete the game it was soooo fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is really cool even at 2026 especially with mods. But the only drawback a lot of glitch & bugs. Overall this game more about finance than agriculture
