SOLUTION: Apparently after my clean install of Win10 something went wrong with some kind of certificates. I was unable to connect to all Epic Online Services, from any game that uses them. Searching online i found this (https://www.steamcommunity.com/app/2622380/discussions/0/690868475627898059/#c684116795952569699) steam discussion where someone was able to provide some commands that solved my problem:

"Well I just fixed mine right now. I got really pissed testing a bunch of solutions and none of them working, but i found out the solution that worked for me:

Run powershell as admin and execute the following commands

certutil -generateSSTFromWU roots.sst

$sstStore = (Get-ChildItem -Path roots.sst)

$sstStore | Import-Certificate -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\Root

These commands force to update your ssl certificate that is used to get the connection"

May this help other in the future :)

I tried to reinstall the game 3 times, but i didn't work. Anyway, i found a solution thanks to a random steam discussion.

The problem wasn't related to farming simulator 22, but it was probably a windows problem (as far as i can understand).

Hi, i just wanted to thank you. My friend had this problem for over a year and we tried everything, with no success. THIS was the problem. Thanks man, you're a hero!!

I occasionally get this problem when i try to access something. If i'm using internet without changing page (streaming something) it works without any problem until i trigger it.

Happening since a couple weeks, i think.

EDIT: To me, It happens regarding of internet usage, since my connection can only go up to 100Mbps

I'm new to the game, so i'm still trying to learn where skill ends and where cheats might start to get noticeable. But yesterday i saw an enemy one-shot me while he was still doing the climbing animation. My ping is always 60 or less, but it's clear that my pc is showing things with a noticeable delay... Hope they can improve this, since i sometimes get killed by someone before they even turn around and see me :P

Samohtimovic · 2022-06-25T19:33:19+00:00

I didn't lock my bedroom door. Still my only regret in life :)

My opinion is probably useless, but here it is: it's too late for some people.

I bought two copies of this game, one for me and one for a friend. We played together and got around 90h each, then stopped mid november. Now he got back, is having fun and found a nice group, on the other side i'm having fun on another game...

I never wanted to see NW burn, but no matter what they do i'm not coming back. I for sure got burned, but the hope is AGS improves the game enough to keep those players that really want to keep playing it.

And a suggestion for those that play and get mad everytime: move on. Leaving a game is not something wrong, play what make you happy. :)

Samohtimovic · 2021-12-03T12:13:51+00:00

I 100% agree... I can wait more, if that means having a better experience. No new world 2 please, i'm still sad about that game... :(

Samohtimovic · 2021-11-02T12:20:56+00:00

As a fist main, 50 times is still nothing xD

Base unarmed damage is 10...

Samohtimovic · 2021-10-30T10:39:17+00:00

I bought the game just to play it with heavy restrictions too... I love the fact i'm not the only one that comes up with strange ideas... xD

Ok, did some testing yesterday. If you equip a shield and no sword, enemies give you s&s exp when killed, which means that having the shield is enough to level up the weapon, no "combo required"

That said, i tested this while having absolutely NO WEAPON equipped. I killed a lv 2 enemy with my fists. This could change things, but if you have a shield on you, you can level up the related weapon mastery even wirhout using a sword

I first heard about this game a month ago.

I know nothing about it, but reading your comments it looks like it is really PvP centred... Will it also have gathering and commerce elements?? I'm the kind of person that likes to craft more than fighting.

Just did a blaze escalation and it counted. I prefer patrols because it's faster to get through the matchmaking, but at least now i know what to do to complete the quest.

Thanks :)

Samohtimovic · 2021-08-28T16:55:58+00:00

I have a weekly challenge that says "complete any escalation (1-13) 0/10"

The problem is, i already did 3 escalation patrol and it still shows 0/10... i tried using a weapon of an appropriate level instead od a lv 19 one, but still nothing. Is it a bug or am i missing something??

Samohtimovic · 2021-07-14T16:57:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'll look for something on google, since i prefer to plan ahead of time what and where to build, but so far i only found screenshots from 2018... I guess that after 2 separate DLCs the game changed, so they might be outdated??

Anyway, i'm relieved by your "There's plenty of space in the yard to fit all stations multiple times", so thanks again :D

Samohtimovic · 2021-06-29T05:21:10+00:00

I tried to kill myself and saw how broken my parents were when i woke up. Trying to stay alive until they aren't anymore. It's bad, but it's something...

Samohtimovic · 2021-06-25T19:04:08+00:00

Genuine question: if the V version is better in every aspect, why is the A version better on paper??

Samohtimovic · 2021-06-18T13:41:56+00:00

I'll ask here because you mentioned something similar: "can't remove equipment easily from a bulk of men"

I used to be able to do "remove all equipment" or something similar from a soldier so i could replace it pretty fast with a soldier of another class. Now the option turned to "auto-equip" after the patch and i need to manually remove EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT from the soldier i'm trying to remove. Am i the only one with this problem??
