[Whitelist] Farming Simulator 15 (313160)

[nic96]

Works well on my system although it's a bit underpowered:

• OS: Arch Linux
• Kernel: 4.18.4-arch1-1-ARCH
• GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 4400
• Driver: xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+831+ge7bfc906-1
• Vulkan Driver: vulkan-intel 18.1.7-1
• Proton: 3.7-4

One thing to note though is that with the defaults on my screen the game appears at the top left corner with the rest of the screen black. This is easily fixed by changing the games resolution in the game settings. Not an issue at all for me.

The workaround for Farming Simulator 2013 (that @nic96 found) also works for Farming Simulator 2015. You need to edit the game.xml file for this game.

The file can be found in the following directory: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/313160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2015

Look for the \ and \ labels in the .xml file. Edit the numbers for width and height to match your screen resolution. Now the game should start up to the menu.

The workaround for Farming Simulator 2013 can be found here: #446

  On the second pass trough the benchmark: performance was a solid 60 fps.
• Ingame performance seems good, all graphical effects seem to be present, no texture glitches.
• Xbox 360 controller is supported and has correct prompts, but you need to go to the ingame settings and enable the controller and prompts.
