The game's optimization is considered subpar, requiring players to either lower graphic settings or have a high-end rig to achieve satisfactory performance. While some tweaks can improve frame rates, the overall experience is not as polished as other titles in the genre, with a passable frame rate of around 30 fps being deemed adequate for the slower-paced gameplay.
- “This is the best so far, and there are one or two other options I could try out further to see if any more performance gains can be had.”
- “Without further ado, here is the new performance; full HD maxed out.”
- “Frame rate is passable; not as optimized as, say, Codemasters' Grid or Dirt of F1 series, but it's still enjoyable as the tractors are slow-moving, so 30 fps should be adequate.”
- “Frame rate is passable; not as optimized as, say, Codemasters' Grid or Dirt or F1 series, but it's still enjoyable as the tractors are slow-moving, so 30 fps should be adequate.”
- “Only thing, as mentioned before, is that the optimization isn't top-notch, so either sacrifice some graphic quality or you need a very beefy rig.”
- “Applying one of those tweaks here resulted in a marked improvement in fps; older lackluster performance when compared to this can be found at the bottom of this review and another one in the forum.”
