These bad reviews are the hardest for me. Especially when it's such a niche genre that not many devs will even attempt. Looking back through my library, I own FS15, FS19, FS22, and now FS25 (for the time being). FS19 was the last one that ran acceptably. Issues:

Still terrible hitching and stuttering just like FS22 - I was able to play hundreds upon hundreds of hours of FS19 and that was never an issue
Still have to be at the main menu to make any graphics changes whatsoever
Still have to restart after the most mundane choices like toggling HDR (which also has no reference image to see what you're changing lol
Still no option for 175hz; why not have a slider? Instead it is stepped and goes from 144hz to 240hz
Still has flickering controls in the top left if you have multiple inputs like a wheel, sticks, pedals, etc

Those are the things I've noticed in 10 minutes. But the main thing here is, just like FS22, the choppy and horrific frame-time. Just a constant zig-zag like you're watching a heart rate of a fat man running to the fridge and back. GPU usage not being at 100% and instead bouncing between from 90-100 when you're not even hitting the chosen FPS and are not limited in any other way (CPU usage in the teens). And the overall hitching as you try to drive, walk, or move your characters head. It is worth noting that playing exclusive-full screen seemed to help a little bit, but didn't fix it. Lastly, and also just like FS22, there's no controls import that I'm seeing. Not that it'd benefit me since I never got to really play FS22 enough to set up all of my binds, but I do know it sucked not having my FS19 controls be able to work in FS22. I had to change stuff in notepad++ to be able to do that, and once I did it somehow disabled some of the new controls in FS22 (like placing things in builder mode) and didn't have an option to change their binds. I'll close with my PC specs, but figured I'll mention it's not strictly related to me having AMD now. I had the same exact hitching and terriible frametimes in FS22 with an Intel i9-10900k & RTX 3080Ti.
