[MEGATHREAD] FS22 Launch - Known Issues, Tutorial, Bug Reports, First impressions, Opinions and Recurring topics

Introduction

With the FS22 launch just a few days away I've decided to publish this post early! While this is a moment that a lot of us are excited for there has also been a discussion on how to handle the launch. Following on from this discussion I've set up a semi-combined thread. I felt that this was the best compromise between keeping recurring topics to a minimum but still allowing a free discussion of the new game.

Please ensure that you also report the bug to GIANTS

Community feedback:

  • Individual elements of leasing costs aren't visible anymore, not very clear on each separate cost.
  • Lack of case equipment
  • A lot of buildings are not useable which isn't great for multiplayer
  • Doesn't mention the size of a field anymore when purchasing
  • Certain wheels don't seem to be supported on consoles
  • No wheel weight options anymore?
  • No way to set a default name for MP?
  • Increase the size of the HUD even more on console for faraway TV's
  • Greenhouses are way too lucrative.
  • The ability to speed up crop growth would be nice to have back
