  1. I have more money than a saudi shiek and none of it earned properly lol
  2. 1) the autosave does pop up in the top left and causes a very slight blip in play but its always done this. The freezing im meaning is a full on frozen screen for like 8 seconds. 2) Im not sure. I dont think i am. Only thing ive changed is install rockstar game launcher and the proess lasso program which controls the cores. I may uninstall it and see if it solves it. 3) I fired all my AI drivers a year ago. The freezing has only started happening last night, which makes me think its something to do with the process lasso program. Ive not tried sim 1 as i only play on promods 1 so i may give that a try to see if its server or promod related and not my machine at all The only other thing i can think of is theres been an minor update or patch or something in the last week?
  3. Has anyone else been suffering from temp freezing of the game for anything between 3 and 8 seconds. Literally the screen freezes and resumes from where it froze. Im also getting an occasional mild 'clicking' in the sound every 20-30 seconds or so. Never noticed this before last night. The only thing ive changed is install process lasso software which was to help red dead redemption run without freezing. While it could be this, i believe that any management of the cores is program specific? I just want to establish if its my end or server end? (i tested my ethernet connection and i was getting 67mpbs and 25+ upload so my internet is fine)
  4. Great guide and caught my attention as ive just bought a 2nd hand g920. I honestly thought it was plug and play with the only set up being inside ets2 option/controls to tell the game youre usi g a wheel and to set up a few buttons. Is this not the case?
  5. Suggestion Name: section for drivers to advertise when they are looking to join a company. Suggestion Description: Add maybe a template to fill in so people can see the sort of driver you are and what your looking for and then let interested companies contact you. Why should it be added? System works well on other games i play - looking for group - type thing Having tried the current way, ive applied to lots of companies, been accepted only to find they arent the sort of thing im looking for so i leave again.
  6. Thanks, Thats solved it. I had done all that but just done it again and the channels all opened up for me
  7. how do i link my discord to TMP. Ive done it from the TMP end but reading the help in discord it refers to a connect channel that i have to enter a tick in. I dont have that channel.
  8. did iceland today and my nerves are a wreck now. Not going back soon til the novelty wears off.
  9. how do i get my 'master trucker' to show instead of Vet 1? i signed up for the master trucker tier
  10. Having never used promods before, this is like having a totally new game. Thank you TMP (and promods).
  11. Occasionally I come across roadworks or incidents at the side of road that are left over from SP when playing in MP. Most are just a super brave policeman stood at side of road while trucks whizz by but occasionally I come across a whole section of coned off area. Id been avoiding them but I saw a player drive straight through them recently like they weren't there. So.… next time I came across one I did the same and drove straight at it.... guess what..... you cant drive straight through them. It stopped me dead and wrecked my truck. Im guessing these are locally spawned on your own screen/client but not necessarily on other players? and they are in fact real obstacles that you cant drive through..Is that right? Seems like an accident waiting to happen if so.. Ie I move over to avoid the obstacle that another player cant actually see on their screen. It will look like im trying to block.
  12. If I have say UK paint job pack and playing on MP, do others need the same paintjob pack to be able to see it? Does it just show as a plain white truck if you do?
  13. Im a mature driver (47yrs old) with a family. Im generally a solo player with no friends. I was looking for a VTC to join where I could be part of something but not have to ‘socialise’ if I didn’t want to. I wanted driver logs etc and feel like there was a purpose to be spending 6hrs on a Saturday driving a virtual truck. It needed to have other mature drivers, even if it was a good mix of ages. There was a few that advertise and I made the mistake of joining one where I was going to be tested by a schoolboy on whether I could drive or not (having had a RL car license of 30years). The discord was full of teenage banter and it simply wasn’t the one for me. So I just went lone wolf for a long time and found myself hanging in popular areas so I could feel like I was in a MP game like a lost puppy. I then decided to join a VTC again and looked on the forum. Theres one that appears as the Stobart of VTC’s (I know there is a Stobart VTC). That VTC was Viva. They are everywhere and most people know the colours. I applied late last week and was accepted within 10 mins. Since driving around this weekend ive seen loads of other Viva drivers who all want to chat, pair up and convoy. Its like you’ve just found a team mate even if you’ve never spoke before. Ive not joined the discord chat yet and I haven’t been on a full convoy but im still enjoying it. Ive had loads more ‘honks’ from other drivers on the road than I did when solo and people do seem to drive more sensibly around you, I assume as they know you will be a courteous and professional driver. It’s a win win for me.
  14. at the end of the day, everyone has a choice. You either play MP (which is someone elses mod on a server that we are all guests), or you don't. If youre ok with the rules, great, welcome to the community. If you don't, Just log off and play SP or another game. Ps - can I have your stuff. Its simply really. Cant understand why some people are getting all privileged about it.
  15. Game: Euro Truck Simulator 2 Mod Version: current plus 3 previous versions. Controllers Used: DS4 Description of Issue: Don’t know if these are linked but occasionally in certain towns ( Malmo is one) I get ‘trailer damage 0%’ flashing up every 2 seconds. More of a distraction than anything else. Then yesterday same thing happened and when I looked my truck had gone from 0 to 42% damaged. It then started stalling and the usual ‘headlights or get kicked etc’. There wasn’t anyone around and I didn’t hit anything. How to reproduce: Normal driving in Malmo (and other towns) Screenshots / Videos:none
  16. Ive just heard that my local Porshe dealer is giving away free car hire. So I went down to see what the deal was. Doesn’t cost a thing apparently. They provide use of a new Porsche as long as you stick to a few rules. I read the rules, signed on the line and had a go in a new Porsche (I could even choose the colour). But then I wasn’t happy. Apparently you can only stick to the speed limits. Wasn’t having any of that rubbish so complained. They said ‘sorry that’s rules – its a free Porsche, no cost you – just don’t speed’… I wasn’t having this dictatorship enforced on me so I argued again. Then I got my mates to argue too. In the end I stood outside the show room with signs to show how unhappy I was. Outrageous….. Im now on a bicycle. Those B****ds wont beat me.
  17. Hang on... youre confusing quantity with quality..... if you drive everywhere at 182kph, of course your cover the full map quicker. But have you picked out the details that SCS put into the game. The way AI life goes on around you as you drive around, the little details that the SIMULATION game so great. at 182kph you'll be more concerned with just getting around the next corner. But unfortunately I don't think youre ever going to see anyone elses opinion as possibily a fair one.
  18. How is that broken logic? Its exactly the same logic as youre applying. Both sims and GTA racers have other options but they both choose to play on the same server, which is where the problem is. The only people crying are the ones who don't want the speed limit. That's a fact. Show me a single post where the ones in favour are crying about it being introduced. Facts are..... admins are clearly sick of the many speed related reports and are clamping down on it. We haven't petitioned for it, they've done it themselves. Read their posts about it. They didn't feel they needed to consult the player base. What does that say to you?? PS, I didn't say the game was GTA.... I said some players drive like its GTA.... Don't twist words. Anyway, its talked to death now. The speed limit is here to stay so either get with the program or get off the bus. (ps can I have your stuff)
  19. I need some help with save editing. How would I save edit the ‘phoenix’ paint job from old Scania onto one of the new models. Would this be local only even though it’s a default paintjob? I would like other players to see the brilliant creation I'm thinking up! I'm also assuming as its a current in game paintjob then it wouldn't break any MP rules?
  20. Lets not forget why this whole drama started. It wasnt the sim drivers complaining.... it was the GTA drivers who now are restricted to 150kph..... but lets take your logic forward for a second... before the restriction, why don't the speeders want to play on Eu4 where they cant hurt anyone? Is it because no-one goes there? Its the same reason people don't play on Eu1, population. If the devs introduce Eu4 with no speed restriction will you go play there instead? As for cry baby.... the only people I see whinging are the ones who want to drive a truck at 182kph and now cant..... Strangely, as one of the game mods said these are also the people with the most ban records.....strange that. But above all, if someone gives you something for free, are you entitled to whinge on and on about it?
  21. And there was also eu4 where you couldn’t crash into anyone but people insist on doing 180 kph on a packed road. Works both ways.....
  22. Why do people want to drive at super high speeds anyway?
  23. ah you monkeys!! There was me being all honest too!
  24. Guys, I apparently can log in as a game mod for some reason. It comes up with 'logged in as game moderator' and give me option to type (I wont type the words) for admin help. It appears to give me ability to hand out bans etc. Very tempting but ive not abused this error. Just thought i'd let you know. I assume i can play as normal ?
