    Hot Topic #50: New Launcher!

    There should be a Squirrel-Shortcut.log file in that same folder; that should shed some light on that failure.

    It is nowhere to be found, unfortunately.

     

     

    Okay, I found the issue.

     

    When the installer executes, it looks like this:

    There is a Shortcut modal message below the splash screen. It turns out that the modal message does not stop the launcher from loading, leaving no time to interact with the modal. So, the modal is closing automatically whenever you interact with it or not.

    TruckersMP Steam Helper - Browser extension

    A future of this extension

     

    UPDATE from December 24th 2022:

    As you might already know, I am winding down my activity in TruckersMP community. This extension is now fully-featured and complete, no future updates will be performed. There was a fear that Google will disable Chrome v2 manifest in early 2023, but it seems like they have pushed it back to a later date - so the extension should work as intended for now.

     

    I want to thank every single one of you who used this extension. Take care.

     

    Previous statement:

    Spoiler

    As you might already know, I am winding down my activity in TruckersMP community, therefore the extension might go unmaintained in the next few years. But, there is a much heavier deal for this extension - the Chrome Manifest v3 adoption.

     

    If you are not familiar with browser stuff, Chrome is changing the way browser extensions are made, with more attention to privacy of the end user (this statement comes from Google and I don't trust them that much). Pretty much all the current extensions for Chrome-like and Firefox browsers are developed using Manifest v2. In January 2023, Chrome team might start to run a series of experiments, which will determine how the ecosystem is prepared for previous version (v2) removal. That means that most of the extensions, including TruckersMP Steam Helper, might become disabled / inoperable in 2-3 months. 

     

    I am planning to update my extension to Manifest v3, but there are some issues with that for now:

    1) Firefox does not support full specifications for v3 yet. As both Chrome and Firefox extensions are identical, I will need to find the way to develop a new release and making Firefox version working around missing features (or maybe they will fix them in the meantime).

    2) There are some technical problems I should overcome to deliver at least a comparable experience.

    3) I don't have much time to maintain the project, so the time might slip away from me while I am trying to catch it up to the deadline.

     

    I am still fully committed to release an updated version, but it will require some time. Please bear with me while I'm trying to do everything right. Thank you for your patience.

    Здравствуйте, а можете ответить почему скорость на сервере убавили до 90 км/ч со 110 км/ч, просто я не могу найти

    Скорее всего, вы взяли внешний контракт World of Trucks - они ограничены 90 км/ч. Серверы TruckersMP по-прежнему ограничены 110 км/ч.

    с помощью каких турецких карт поможет

    Oldubil + пополнение через P2P. Трудно зарегистрироваться + много времени на то, чтобы закинуть деньги + лимит всего 1250 лир в месяц.

    Не рекомендую использовать для подписок.

    All the requirements and the recruitment form are available in our Discord server, #recruitment channel (in Russian).

    VR on TruckersMP

    For the team TruckersMP, why not allow VR on it ? Is it complicated to set up ?

    SCS Software doesn't have VR support in their release builds, only in a separate beta builds. TruckersMP cannot support more versions than one for each game.

    When you have an active community that uses your mod to the point where it breaks out of its default environment and goes to windows to make it work, you should at least tell them something

    They have been told already that Linux port is not planned for now, many times.

    It's very sad to be in 2022 and to see that your favorite mod (Truckers MP) doesn't support linux despite the game (ETS2) being native.

    I am very disappointed and this seems to be one thing that will never change. They will never look at us Linux users as an audience.

     

    TruckersMP never said it will be cross-platform immediately. The game is completely different on Linux binary-wise, they will have to do the same thing (decompiling, porting, testing, bug fixing) again for each platform they support. ETS2 being native is a negative factor in that regard - TruckersMP should be native as well and support Linux native ecosystem in order for it to work. One cannot simply grab a Windows-native application and make it work against a Linux-native one without a hassle. 

     

    Another factor is a cost vs. impact. Right now, Steam counts Linux user base as 1.12%, even less than macOS users. The real count for ETS2/ATS is unknown, but it is very rare to see a person playing these games not on Windows, in my experience.  We can estimate it as max. 50 people based on 4.688 concurrent player peak last week. It is not viable for 4.640 users to wait at least twice as long for an MP to update, just because those 50 people want to play on Linux. Sounds kinda harsh, but that is a crude reality. And do not forget about a cost associated with it. Game Devs will have to learn how to decompile/develop against a Linux-native app, this will require a substantial amount of time. 

     

    There are benefits of having a Linux port of TruckersMP, but they are minor compared to a number of issues which will be introduced with it. Maybe in the far future, when TruckersMP will reach a beta stage, it will be mature enough to spend the time on porting.

    - Rigid lorries added as a new class which can be purchased/configured.

    - Multi-drop routes; a delivery from point A > B but with drop-offs/pickups along the way.

    - More routes added, especially in the likes of Italy and France; there is loads of room here for additional roads to be opened.

    - Routes that have construction on them to be either updated to show progress or completed.

    - Additional load types added, especially for flat bed trailers.

    All of these bullet points have nothing to do with TruckersMP. You have to ask SCS Software to add it directly into the game, because more changes for the core game stuff = more issues when updating MP to the new version.

    Hope they optimize their servers. Its a frequent desync or unreliable connection in traffic area or simple server connection broken even with good internet and pc. Gets so annoying at times 

    It would be a bigger problem if there was an issue on a server side of things - pretty much everyone would be suffering. Since it is not a case, I suspect this is a problem on your end.
