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! Happy Trucking!

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. Happy Trucking ETS2

Thank you very much for your answer, it is all clear to me now The problem is solved. Happy Trucking!

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! Happy Trucking ETS2

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!

Hello @_benji, Since it seems it only happens to you in MP I would recommend u to use a program that can monitor your CPU and GPU's temperatures. MP can ask quite alot of your graphics card/cpu and it could be that one of the two is getting too hot and throttles back every so often, which could cause the stutters. If you go to this page: https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner -(1) Download msi afterburner, you will be able to see your pc's temperatures with this program. - (2) Start the game in MP, join the game, load in and let it settle in for like 10 minutes. -(3) Alt-tab to your desktop and see in msi afterburner how hot your gpu/cpu gets Can you provide a screenshot of the tempratures after that? Hope this helps you! Let us now if this helps

Yes. Thank you all for your replies, and have a nice day

4!

Hello, I have played alot of ets2mp and have encountered alot of people blocking the road ingame. And they get a suitible punishment, when I record and report them on the website, but the problem is not solved at that point when playing the game. Pm'ing game moderators is sadly not possible, so players are stuck, waiting until a game moderator comes to the rescue. I understand why normal players can't pm game moderators (since they will probably get alot of spam), but is there a way ingame to 'ask' a game moderator for help? Thank you

Hello @Bigos01 Does this error occur when you start the game with the TruckersMP Launcher, or did this happen while ingame? Thank you

Hello @LuigiN97 Jobs most of the time refresh when you take a nap ingame. Park up at at sleeping spot, rest and after a few times new freight should appear. Good luck

Hello @CargoBulls, Could you make a screenshot of what versions you do have in your beta's? The "temporary_1_31 - 1.31.x for incompatible mods" beta, should be in the list. Thank you

Hello, You might be thinking about this a bit too hard. Just report it on the report section of the website, and provide a for example a youtube link to a hidden video with your evidence. And make a report for every single person that way. Example here: Good luck

Hello Twitch_LexusLSD, Try the solutions mentioned by other people above me first because they have no direct disadvantages. It can happen sometimes that trailers and caravans don't show up in the freight market. This might be a final solution for you. As stated in the link I provided: This will reset and repopulate your jobs list / freight market and return you to your home garage. Could you inform us if my, or any of the solutions mentioned before me helped you? Thank you

I am not sure why you are trying to go beyond 130 km/h, but yes a truck will struggle if you are trying to pull a heavy trailer. The only advise I will give you, is that if you are pulling a heavy trailer, it is recommended to have more gears (for example the 12 gear transmission in the scania). And you can try out some different gearboxes to find one that suits you. But....if you have a feeling that you are being 'locked' at 136 km/h, then I think you are trying to turn the game more in a racing game than a truck sim.
