GIANTS Software has released Patch 1.14 for Farming Simulator 25, introducing a range of new content, technical improvements, and stability fixes across all platforms. This update adds advanced dairy machinery from GEA Farm Technologies, enhancing livestock management with new configuration options for Hörmann cow sheds. Additionally, the patch introduces a friendly new farm companion — the Border Collie — alongside AMD’s latest FSR 4.0 technology, providing improved rendering performance for compatible hardware.
The update also includes various refinements across AI behavior, visual fidelity, and gameplay mechanics. Players may notice stuttering on their first launch post-update due to shader recompilation, especially when using mods or custom graphics settings. GIANTS Software has noted that rollout may take time across platforms, and crossplay services might experience brief interruptions during deployment.
