  1. Guys in Step 2 if changing to D3D_11 does not work then you can even try D3D_10
    Also Steam users can try verifying the game files, make a right click on the Farming Simulator 22, select properties, go to the local files tab and click on verify integrity of the game files.

  2. I tried changing D3D_12 to D3D_11, and it kind of worked. My game launched but my 150+ hour world was lost. Sadly I don't know if this is a problem with farming simulator, or if it occurred from changing it from D3D_12 to D3D_11 ):
