Farming Simulator 25 gets new 1.4 patch – what’s included?

The new 1.4 update patch for Farming Simulator drops today and brings with it a raft of bug fixes and tweaks to the game to generally improve performance. While there doesn’t look to be anything earth-shattering here, it is mainly under the hood stuff, the devs have got to 1.4 pretty quickly providing a pretty good performance level by this point now, on the PC version at least.

The patch will be available to download on all versions of Farming Simulator 25 by the time you read this.

If you were hoping for new content so soon after launch then this patch is not for you. However, there are a lot of fixes in play which will make the game look better and the good news for console players is that the stability issues that have plagued the game for some since launch are being worked on. Let’s have a look at the patch notes.

Please Note! As with all major updates, you may experience stuttering on the first game launch after updating. Especially when using mods or custom graphics settings due to shaders being recompiled.
