How to Remove the Circle Render Limit! - Farming Simulator 25

[@tonyclark9250]

Thanks for sharing. That circle was driving me nuts.

[@seb35c5]

Same here :)

[@SchaelTeer]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! It's not only improved visibility drastically, it also got rid of the TAA poping-effects!! It's Amazing!!

[@Opa_Andre]

Very useful information, thank you. Maybe you could do another video explaining all the graphic values one can set in the game. What values you would recommend, especially for high performanc graphic adapters. Like for example SSAO Quality (in your case medium), difference of V-SYNC off or on, using DLSS or not ... and so on.

[@LegendRockPlot]

Deffo need this 100%

[@Stormpooper84]

Thx mate! Already hated this in FS22! Should be noticed that this entry only shows up in the config file after you changed it ingame and save. With standard ultra settings there is no entry.

[@gamesmore9169]

same here. thanks.

[@rudolfopinewood]

also works for FS22 - just tested. 200% is the default in FS22, change to 195% to have the setting appear. changing back to 200% removes the entry again from the xml file

[@QuadThumbs]

Oh thank you so much. Ill link this in my videos for others!!!

[@nilsbodenbinder1648]

Thanks, fixed the most annoying "feature" in ls22/ls25 for me

[@Bamamarama]

Artificially limiting things like this is dumb. How about just a little PSA pop-up if you take whatever option to 900% it might break your game.

[@Rasip]

It is so console, and ancient PCs look the same.

[@gsmith2000994]

@@Rasip Not really as console is locked to 30FPS, I don't believe for 1 min that a PS5 would struggle by increasing the distance by 2 or 3 times impacting 30FPS.

[@katraapplesauce1203]

i have noticed while driving it excessivly high doesnt really seem to impact fps alot, you start getting this weird micro hitching every 1 to 2 seconds, its very noticeable even in this footage

[@ChrisEdwardsTech]

Nice! I have a 4070 Super and it drives me crazy being limited.

[@darkdrake1753]

Unfortunately, the last patch broke the distance of drawing plants and terrain. Even though you have all 4 options in the settings set to 200% + in the file changed to 3 or 4, the circle is still there... there is no way to fix it, unless the next patch can fix it. I've seen this problem with many people on streams :(

[@deadclocks5828]

Some handy tips, Thanks DP - More Please ;) Question, for others too, what would you recommend as the max value for the LOD on a 3060 Gpu? Default settings seems like a small annoying circle😂 Tia!

[@AlexMorales-tt7ko]

why not go up a lil at a time to see what your card can handle

[@developer-plays]

If I increase LOD to 500% in that same position, a Stop sign pops into existence on the road where it crests over the horizon. So it definitely is the setting for 3D objects. I didn’t notice any major graphics changes with it at 200 vs 500, so I run it at 200 (same with other one). If all 3 are at 500%, I still get 80-100 fps at 2K on my 4080 Super. With a 3060, I’d probably stay at max 200 for those other two settings.

[@JohnErikMills]

My 4070 super is struggling to keep 60 fps. Not sure if I've got a graphics setting set incorrectly.

[@developer-plays]

For 4070, I think 300% is roughly the max to get 80fps+. If you change a lot of the settings from Ultra to High, for shadows, etc, you might get some more frames, without noticing a difference.

[@jRieg]

My game XML file doesn't look the same. It doesn't have foliage draw distance ???

[@developer-plays]

Definitely have to change it with caution! My 4080 Super was doing 120fps at 2k, at 200%, so I am fortunate I can afford the 10-20fps loss for the 500%.

[@developer-plays]

You want the game.xml under Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2025, not the one in the Steam folder. (Made the same mistake myself when I was working it all out)

[@wyeri]

@@developer-plays I have the same thing. It is the correct location and only has 4 lines of text under scalability while your video shows 6.

[@developer-plays]

Is it because I changed resolution, and the extra lines are my old resolution?

[@wyeri]

@@developer-plays The xml look the same except for scalability. My 4 lines are performanceClass, tyreTracksSegmentsCoeff, postProcessAA and dlssQuality. May have something to do with the graphics card or using Nvidia dlss. 🤷‍♀

[@FarmingSimSWU]

🙏 thank you 🙌

[@tilluas3240]

Thank you for the tutorial. But it doesn't work. I followed your instructions but the circle render limit is still the same. I'm playing on a multiplayer server (Nitrado - server hosted by me). Are there any other settings which I have to do? Thanks.

[@developer-plays]

I would have thought it was a client side thing. It works for me if I host a game. (See today’s video)

[@historickeeper]

Your the man thanks odd you could not push setting it you got the card for it.

[@beaudamien]

Why don’t they just fix it so it renders at any amount you want instead of 200.

[@MFKR696]

It's Giants... They really don't care what you want lol. They're no better than EA these days.

[@MFKR696]

What's amazing to me is that this is *still* a problem in 25. I really wish Giants would get their shit together. They won't be receiving any money from me until that happens. I really don't care about ground deformation, or any "new" feature they added. The foundation is still broken.

[@razerx4life]

it's cuz their engine is from like 2003 or something and they won't change it or update it

[@Auto_365]

[@SturmVogel1984]

Hi! There are another line in my XML - 1.100000, affects to the closest LOD circle so I tried to change it - and it also works (set it to 600%) without any significant FPS drops `cause changing foliageViewDistanceCoeff doesn`t work well. I don`t know actually what is the difference between those two parameters, but it works)

[@developer-plays]

Foliage is the crop. LOD is bales, swath, buildings, stop signs, anything you can place or destroy. (I run this at 5.0 too).

[@Pro-Bert]

Don´t have the values in the right game.xml like many others. Perhaps got patched because a lot of people habe problems with the foliage settings? edit: I edited the line with 500% to the file but the radius is the same. Seems Giants patched it out.

[@developer-plays]

It only saves the line if the value is different to the default (ultra is 200). Change it to 185%, and it’ll get added.

[@robinhodgkinson]

They have to pick a low common denominator. Otherwise the experience for new players could suck. But it’s great knowing how to change the quality. I’m gonna have a play around with that for sure. Now all I probably need is a new computer.

[@las347]

Is this still working with a new update? I just edited the xml still see the circle.

[@pixel-ink]

So, what does happen when I save the save after changing game.xml even though the settings says 200%??? Does it re-save the XML back to 2.000, if so, then what is the point of changing the XML. Who wants to be constantly keep changing the XML file after every save?

[@ikbenspeedy]

You're not constantly changing game settings are you? It shouldn't get overwritten when you save your game.

[@JorgenKremer]

He was talking about not saving the graphics settings in that menu. Has nothing to do with saving the game you are in.

[@pixel-ink]

@@ikbenspeedy No, I haven't done anything yet. I was just wondering. In the video he said don't save the game when you were on the settings window. So, I was just asking what happens if I do

[@developer-plays]

Only overwrites if you change the graphics settings. I was just pointing out that the UI doesn’t show the value.

[@djangofett_1664]

my game.xml file does not have these options.

[@developer-plays]

Save a non-default value (eg 185%) and the line will be added. Or just type it.

[@djangofett_1664]

@@developer-plays i finally got it. Thank you.

[@Eralov]

also works in fs22 if you simply add the line to the config file. thx

[@tilluas3240]

Thanks. So it won't works with a dedicated Server (only own hosted)

[@tigergameing-lc1xd]

to bad the base games did not let you go up to 1000%, but you have to do it in the files

[@knochey2296]

It's weird yes but everything higher than 3.5 is introducing stutter because the game engine can't handle this much GPU instance objects. Even an RTX 4090 can't be fed with enough data from a 7950X3D.

[@tigergameing-lc1xd]

[@developer-plays]

For me, it was fine last night, with all 3 set to 500%. Was there any update in the last 12hrs?

[@KalleZz_]

@@developer-plays Idk I set mine to 5 (only foliage) and my game wouldn't launch

[@cdotcizzle6268]

I dont have a "foliage" code line, I went exactly where this video told me

[@developer-plays]

If you change it in the UI (eg to 185%), press Apply, it’ll add the line to the file. It doesn’t add the line if the value is the same as the Profile’s default (eg, Ultra is 200%). You can also just type the line if you want.

[@SimSheriff]

With such a small price to pay make s you wonder why they lock it to 200 in the game menu settings

[@developer-plays]

Unless you have a really high end card (3080, 4070, 4080 or 4090), 200% is the realistically the max you can do at 2k (maybe 4K) and sustain 60fps. Current Gen Consoles are roughly the same as a 3080 or 4070, so 200% for them makes sense too. So I can see why they don’t have higher numbers in the drop-down… it’ll just cause more support cases, and they’d rather not have those.

[@Gazer75]

@@developer-plays With a 3070Ti I get 100+ fps with everything maxed in game + DLSS Quality at 1440p. They appear to have fixed DLSS with the 1.3 update as it did nothing for performance before.

[@larssrensen2342]

A F2 press would have been nice so we could see the fps you're getting - otherwise kinda uselesss

[@developer-plays]

After I have it set, I have it turned on. I get 80-120fps.

[@maximus11400]

If you have a shitty PC or just a shitty video card I would not recommended doing this. Your fps will drop too low and you will start lagging.

[@developer-plays]

Absolutely - proceed with caution!

[@walliesgaming]

They have limits for a reason you know that right

[@Gazer75]

But why limit people with high end hardware? If hes happy with around 60fps then why not give the option to go to 500%? Should be up to each individual, not an artificial limit. You don't need 150+ fps in a game like this.

[@soullesswolf1316]

first error you can do is use onedrive.

[@moneyall]

They patched it out

[@developer-plays]

What makes you say that? I played yesterday with it set to 400% (4.0), and it definitely had the bigger circle. (See today’s video).

[@kubeanie18]

Fun Fact, this exist since FS17. It was just completely Hidden in the xml until the last patch for FS25. There is another completely Hidden Value you can add manually. TRhe Values are in clear Text in the Log at the top, but for those who want to try it out. its is "2.200000 "

[@bojaaper]

I tried this, but it didn’t work. After changing the settings in the game and then opening the file again in Notepad, I found out that I had to change this line instead of the one in the video: 5.000000 Now it works!
