Hello,

I really want to use my vr headset for ets2mp, but it gives met the unsupported game version error.

Is there a way to get around this? Because it seems like the oculus/vive game versions are always a little bit different.

Thank you

Hello,

I know trailers that are longer than the default trailer combinations are not allowed anymore.

But I do have alot of them stored in my garage, so I would like to know if I can keep them in my garages, but I won't drive them in multiplayer.
I will only use those trailers in singleplayer, since they are fun to drive with.

It doesn't say in the rules if you can store those trailers in the garages, so, I am not sure if it is allowed.

Hope someone can clear this up,

You know what,

Increase the amount of players in arcade 2, give that server collision, and done, everyone happy.

I understand realism, but you need to give people an alternative to what they had.

And the more I ask people about this subject, I hear time and time again that they want the old Europe 2 server back. And this is a BIG part of the community btw, not a small amount.

Again I understand the problems with the old europe 2 server, but hey, give people a warning before they join that type of server, state what the rules are, and now we have some proper simulations servers, AND we have alternatives.

Please listen to the other part of the playerbase as well, thank you.

So.....

What was wrong with this system, is what I'm kinda questioning:

Ignore the arrow, was an old picture from a different topic.

But ehm..... what problem do we see here......ehmm...what about the fact that ALMOST NO players are playing in the simulation server.....

But....still, there was a simulation server, and a freeroam server, I don't really understand what was wrong with the old system tbh.

July 2, 2019

Hmm,

When all the 5000+ players will join again, doing the exact same thing as before, only now going to Simulation 1......nothing will really change.

Will be interesting to see people overtaking with a 110 km/h speedlimiter.....great.

Don't forgot this happened earlier, you know, making a speedlimiter at all. When they changed it to 150 km/h.

Now it is a bit less, wow, that will stop all the trolls for sure........not really

I guess we will see what happens.

July 2, 2019

Hello,

I might have a question that might not be completely suitable for the feedback system, so I'm just going to ask it here first.

This is quite an extreme change, in my opinion, but I do understand why the team wants to implement this change.

The only thing is, I am not so sure if the community is really agreeing with this change. There are 2 very opposite types of players in this community, one that wants realism, and one that that is playing more for the fun and freedom you get in the game. You were able to see those opposites perfectly in the old europe 2 server. And you know what, that is exactly the reason europe 2 was the most popular, since you could choose what you wanted to do in the server.

The problem now is, that the so called *trolls* will still move to a different server. And you can be sure, that they choose a server with collision on.

You could see that immedietly after this change, every *troll* instanly moved to simulation 1. So.....nothing has changed really.

So, the rules are changed....alot. But the basic problems that I guess the truckersmp team is trying to solve, is not being fixed by this change.

Again, I understand the change to focus more on realism, but this sudden change might have and extreme effect on the amount of players that will even join. It would have been nice if people actually knew this was going on in the background, or you could have even added a poll at some point. To actually see directly what the playerbase wants. This didn't happen as far as I know.

But well, I guess i'm just a normal player, that is on the brink of leaving. I have talked to some people, and I am not the only on that thinks this.

And yes I am going to send more information to the feedback system, but I just feel that this needs to get out there.

@The-Night_-Driver

This is a tricky one.

I think the only way we can figure out if this actually has to do with the installation of TruckersMP/Euro Truck Simulator 2, or the savegame being the problem, is by letting someone else try your save on their computer.

Something else that could work is if you have a laptop for example.

If anyone else has an other suggestion please try and help.

The last thing I can think of if this doesn't work is editing your savefile to remove the 'bug', but even that is not guaranteed to work.

@The-Night_-Driver

What I think the console was saying, is that one of your drivers is trying to use a truck, but can't, for whatever reason. And it 'could' be that one of your drivers, or trucks is bugged.

To test this out, try to dismiss all the drivers you have hired(so they don't use a truck), and make a new save (name it test or something for safety). And see if that helps.

Good luck!

May 23, 2019

Hello @The-Night_-Driver,

It looks like one of your drivers is having a problem with a truck. In your case it is 'driver.189'.

That doesn't tell alot, but something your could do (if you don't have aloooot of drivers and trucks atleast), is dismissing the driver that uses a truck that is in your possession. Or driving that truck yourself.

Do you have alot of drivers in this save that you are using?

May 23, 2019

Hello @The-Night_-Driver,

I might have an idea, to atleast figure out if your game is saving properly. But for that we need to enable the console

1: Go to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 folder located in your Documents folder. It's normally somewhere here: C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2.

2: Open config.cfg with notepad.

3: Search for uset g_developer and change the "0" to a "1".

4: Search for uset g_console and change the "0" to a "1".

5: Start your game, load your save. And press the ~ key when your are ingame.

You will see the console on the top left at this point. Close the console, save the game, and open the console again.

What we are looking for here is a line that says: 'creating save game file'.

And if everything goes well it shouldn't give any errors after that 'creating save game file' line.

It seems like your game is confused by, something, when saving the game. So I hope this gives us some information on what is causing that.

Good luck!

@LordBenji

Sadly changing the game to windowed, or windowed borderless, or anything else than fullscreen, it just completely breaks. Surround is always a bit....ehm...messy. But I am just going to ask it on the SCS forum, maybe someone there knows if it is even solvable at all. ETS2 doesn't really support triple monitor setups very well at all, so it is all a bit experimental, in my experience atleast.

Thank you all for your help, I am just going to mess around with the settings a bit, and if I don't figure it out, then maybe someone on the SCS forum knows it.

Well the weird thing is, nvidia shadowplay is technically running/working.........in a way

When I launch the game, alt-tab and hit alt+z for the shadowplay menu, it just pops op and works.

But when I go back ingame, and use alt+z, I lose control of my mouse ingame(which would be normal when you launch shadowplay) but the shadowplay menu doesn't show up. It looks like ets2 is just always infront of the shadowplay menu, which makes it why I can't use the thing.

And, when I do these steps without nvidia surround, and just launch the game in normal 1920x1080, it works fine, no problems at all. But as soon as as I use nvidia surround, it breaks....when using it with ETS2.

I don't have any of these problems with other games btw, for example, Forza Horizon 3 works with surround and shadowplay no problem.

So....not really sure what is going on, but well, thank you guys for your responses

April 19, 2019

Hello,

I have been searching the forum alot about this topic, but haven't found a solution yet.

I have three monitors, with nvidia surround enabled. And normally, when using nvidia surround, I can use nvidia shadowplay to record the monitors.

Very easy, it just records at 5760x1080 resolution. And i can just edit it to 1920x1080 so I can watch it at a normal aspect ratio.

But, the weird problem is, when I play ETS2 (doesn't matter if I launch singleplayer or multiplayer). It just refuses to open the nvidia shadowplay panel( I think the default key combination for it is alt + Z).

I have reinstalled everything at this point, and it seems to be only happening to ETS2.

So yeah I was just wondering if anyone knows a solution to this, if not, then I will try the SCS forum. It is a weird little bug, but it makes recording for me impossible, which is....annoying.

Thank you,

Hello,

Are you allowed to change to engine sound of your truck?

For example, you drive a volvo truck, but you don't like the engine sound. But you do like the scania engine sound. Are you allowed to swap the engine sound from the scania into the volvo?

And what will other people hear?

Thank you,

Thank you all for your help, and I have found the problem.

It was ONE specific setting for me that I didn't even think about.

As you can see in the screenshot, it is the headlights option. I disabled it, restarted my game, went to drive around for a bit, and everything is smooth again.

So as far a as my theory for it goes: My pc is good, but loading in trucks, and especially the lighting for those trucks causes the lag spikes.

I will mess around with the settings the coming few days, but it seems that the problem is solved for now atleast.

Again thank you all for your help!

Hello,

I have some weird lag spike problems in ets2mp, and I am trying to figure out what precisely is causing the problem.

If I go back about 3-4 months ago this problem didn't exist, and I don't really understand what is going on.

One thing I do know, is that the lag occurs mostly when entering an area with players (so when the game tries to load the trucks/trailers etc).

Lowering the draw distance, and lowering the smoothing distance makes it only worse. My draw distance is normally maxed and it seems like the ingame draw distance limit is 489(when opening the config.txt file in the documents\ETS2MP).

Lowering the graphics (even to something stupid like 800x600 with low graphics) doesn't change anything either.

PC temperatures are fine, tried multiple graphics drivers, and nothing seems to change or help in any way.

My pc specs are:

I7 7700K

GTX1080

32gb ram

500 gb samsung 960 euo nvme ssd

So my specs shouldn't be a problem, as far as I know. And the game runs normally at about 60-120 fps, it really depends on how many people are in the area.

The only thing that I can think of that *might* help, is if I can change the draw distance to something like 4x the amount. That way the game would load most of the traffic in the area at once. And hopefully makes the lag spikes a bit less.

But as far as I know that is not something I can change in the settings.

Thank you for reading, and I hope someone has a suggestion, or an idea about what is going on.

Hello,

I was wondering if you are allowed to savedit your trailer to make it heavier than it normally is. The only rule I can find about this is the line: 'Cargo weight must not be below 0'.

Example: I sometimes see other people driving with a very heavy trailer. And they have 150T in their tag.

My question is simple, is this allowed or not? (if you avoid busy locations on the map of course)

Thank you!

Hi @Jose Duran

I looked up a youtube video for you, it might be a bit easier to follow than screenshots etc.

He doesn't have your exact specifications, but it is very close.

You might have to turn down the settings a bit, but you will have to test it, since every pc is different.

Good luck, I hope this helps!

This is kinda special, haven't seen this happen in a while.

Hello @Muzammel

Try the solutions posted in this topic. You error looks very similar to his.

Please let us know if any of the solutions helped.

I think it has a good and a bad side.

The good side would be, that just having more variety in the car models would be very nice. There are different truck models, so having different car models seems like a nice addition.

But.....

We all know what will happen when such and update rolls out:

-Alooot of people wil drive with the cars, since it will be quite the update. Causing probably more mayhem, that we don't really need.

- It is still a truck sim at the end of the day. The fact that the TruckersMP team added skodas in the first place, was quite a surprise. It will turn the game more in a.....car simulator than a truck simulator if we add alot more car models.

It sounds like a good idea, and having some kinda of test period (a week for example) to see the results of such an update.....why not?

If it doesn't work out they can probably revert it back to normal.

+1 for me....but there needs to be alot of supervision to see if it was a succesful test, or not.

Hello @KW_Transporte,

It is possible that someone is indeed using mods or hacks to, sadly, ruin your day. But it could also be that the player is lagging.

My advise is that you record these moments, if your are able to, and send them to the report section of the website: https://truckersmp.com/reports

If you need any more help, please ask!
