I've read that it doesn't make much of a difference, but I still do it for all my games just in case. Just be aware that setting high priority in Task Manager is not permanent; you need to do it through the registry, which you can do by putting this into a .reg file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\eurotrucks2.exe\PerfOptions] "CpuPriorityClass"=dword:00000003

In addition to the other launch options mentioned above, I have the following for better performance (and for other reasons): -64bit -nointro -unlimitedlog -rdevice dx11 -mm_max_resource_size 32 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000 -mm_pool_size 1024 For that last option (-mm_pool_size), the number should be half your RAM. - If you have 2 GB: 1024 - If you have 4 GB: 2048 - If you have 8 GB: 4096 - If you have 16 GB: 8192 - If you have 32 GB: 16384 If I remember correctly (I haven't played in a while), you should be able to add these launch options in the new TruckersMP Launcher. I think you can also add the launch options to the end of the desktop shortcut for the old TruckersMP Launcher. -------------------- If you do not want to use VSync (some people complain about frame tearing and input lag when using it), the upcoming 1.50 update has a new FPS limiter - I strongly recommend setting this to your monitor refresh rate, otherwise your GPU will be overworked by trying to put out 800 FPS in menus (you can also set a lower FPS limit for when you are Alt+Tabbed out of the game). Also, there is a new Temporal Anti-Aliasing feature in 1.50. Previously there was a plugin (now payware) that added this, and people said the game looked better and had better FPS with it enabled; you'll have to see if the SCS version does anything for you.

I was surprised to see the Rhine region in 1.50. Usually they tell us in a previous blog post if a certain feature will be ready for the next update; there was no mention of it in the Rhine-Ruhr blog.

It's a good idea, but I doubt it will ever happen before C-D is replaced. This game is not made for artificial intelligence. (We say "AI Traffic" but that is not actually AI; it is a leftover phrase from before modern AI was invented.) To do this in-game would require a serious coding effort by the developers, which they don't have time for currently. In the future, once TruckersMP gets "AI" Traffic, it could be easier as they will most likely already have a framework they can build this on, but SCS Benelux will already be finished by then.

I thought the original suggestion was to make 'Random road events' (as in the default randomly generated traffic events, which are enabled in singleplayer Gameplay Options) sync, but apparently I read it wrong: It seems Chema9's suggestion (based on the reply) is for road events to be temporarily added in specific places (through the Map editor) similar to Real Operations. It wouldn't be feasible to do this all the time, but Featured Zone includes some of that and hopefully it will happen more often in the future. Anyway, I do think making 'Random road events' (and weather for that matter) sync across all players is a good idea. It would definitely need to be excluded from populated areas as said above. I personally don't know a way to disable road events in the Map editor - though I think Reforma might have done something like that in ATS a few years back? but you'd have to ask them. Either way, if all else fails it sounds like something that could be coded in, but I'm not a developer.

Hello! On 3 June 2023, you launched the first iteration of Featured Zone, which lasted just over one month. Despite being in Calais, where there is already a lot of traffic, I still think it was a promising trial for what could become a successful way to bring traffic away from C-D and to otherwise-less-traveled regions. However, since the event there has been almost no mention of Featured Zone by the TruckersMP Team. It has been so long since the event that some players have already forgotten about it. Going forward, is the goal to schedule these once or twice a year, like Real Operations, or will they be happening more frequently? I personally would love to see more of these every few months (or even more often than that for shorter 2-week-long events). Also, do you have a timeline for when we might see the next Featured Zone? Thanks.

The main problem I see is the lack of events encouraging anyone to leave C-D road. Maybe I'm forgetting something, but I can't remember any SCS events that actually brought traffic to an area other than C-D and Las Vegas since Genoa Bridge (in ETS2) and Big Sur (in ATS). (TLDR at the end) I scrolled all the way through the SCS blog back to January of last year, and the following is every event in that time (counting backwards). Note that these are all great events, and I think they should keep running them, but here is why they don't work for generating traffic: Haulin' Hearts - 6 Feb. 2024 to 18 Feb. 2024 You could complete the goal in either game, so there was no incentive to try the other game. There was no restriction on where you could deliver, so you could complete the goal by only driving from Calais to Duisburg (or in and out of Las Vegas) 14 times. This event began the day after the previous events ended, so there was no cooldown period. Christmas Winterland - Originally 14 Dec. 2023 to 14 Jan. 2024, extended on 12 Jan. 2024 to 5 Feb. 2024 Winterland was accessed via portals which were available at all sleeping areas, meaning players were not attracted to a specific route. (However, the event was based on points awarded to each city, which did encourage players to drive in areas they otherwise would not.) This event overlapped 2 other SCS events. The extension of this event caused it to end the day before the next event began, so there was no cooldown period. Cruising Kansas (ATS only) - Originally 30 Nov. 2023 to 28 Jan. 2024, extended on 12 Jan. 2024 to 5 Feb. 2024 This is a DLC-based event, limiting the number of participants. Also, it is based on all cities in the DLC, meaning players were not attracted to a specific route. This event overlapped 2 other SCS events. The extension of this event caused it to end the day before the next event began, so there was no cooldown period. Cruising the Balkans (ETS2 only) - 19 Oct. 2023 to 19 Dec. 2023 This is a DLC-based event, limiting the number of participants. Also, it is based on all cities in the DLC, meaning players were not attracted to a specific route. This event overlapped 3 other SCS events. Happy Hauloween - 24 Oct. 2023 to 14 Nov. 2023 You could complete the goal in either game, so there was no incentive to try the other game. There was no restriction on where you could deliver (except distance), so you could complete the goal by only driving from Calais to Duisburg (or in and out of Las Vegas) 13 times. This event overlapped 1 other SCS event. Cruising Oklahoma (ATS only) - 1 Aug. 2023 to 1 Oct. 2023 This is a DLC-based event, limiting the number of participants. Also, it is based on all cities in the DLC, meaning players were not attracted to a specific route. Sweet Valentine - 7 Feb. 2023 to 19 Feb. 2023 Read the dates: There were no SCS events in March, April, May, June, or July. You could complete the goal in either game, so there was no incentive to try the other game. There was no restriction on where you could deliver (except distance), so you could complete the goal by only driving from Calais to Duisburg (or in and out of Las Vegas) 14 times. While I'm here, below are my opinions on some of TruckersMP's 2023 events (counting backwards again): Winter Island - December 2023 and January 2024 (I don't have exact dates) I did not participate in this, but it looked like a fun event: It featured a good looking map (in my opinion, much better than Haulie Island, which uses outdated textures) that included a large-enough area with more than one road, attracting traffic similar to Genoa Bridge. The map release also featured a photo contest event. They could have included a delivery event similar to Winterland to encourage players to do more than just drive around. This event overlapped at least 2 SCS events. ETS2 only Real Operations V15 - 25 November 2023 Good: Encourages realistic driving operations in otherwise-less-traveled regions. Bad: Only happens on a separate event server. Bad: Not accessible to many players as it only lasts 4 hours. ETS2 only The Big Pumpkin Pickup - 20 Oct. 2023 to 31 Oct. 2023 This was a great event: It brought traffic to a specific otherwise-less-traveled city (Rostock) for over a week. However, this event overlapped 2 SCS events (but, to be fair, one of them was only announced after the TMP event started). ETS2 only Fruity Freight Fiesta - 5 June 2023 to 2 July 2023 This was more similar to a standard SCS event: You could complete the goal in either game, so there was no incentive to try the other game. There was no restriction on where you could deliver, so you could complete the goal by only driving from Calais to Duisburg (or in and out of Las Vegas) 5 times. This event overlapped 1 other TruckersMP event. Featured Zone (V1?) - 3 June 2023 to 2 July 2023 Similar to Real Operations but on the main servers. Lasts longer than Real Operations. Good concept, but why hasn't there been another edition? This event overlapped 1 other TruckersMP event. ETS2 only TMP9 Freeroam - 1 May 2023 to 21 May 2023 I think there could have been an additional incentive to use the Freeroam server, such as a delivery challenge. Otherwise, people only really went there for chaos (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but still). ETS2 only Easter Egg Hunt - 9 April 2023 This is a DLC-based event, limiting the number of participants. Only lasted 4 hours. ETS2 only Summary: SCS event scheduling causes player burnout by cramming multiple events in Q4 with zero events in Q2. TruckersMP is much better at spreading out their events over the whole year. SCS repeatedly uses a generic format for most events, consisting of a themed cargo and themed awards but nothing else special about the event. This format could work for 2-week long filler events each month, but instead they make these the only events outside of Christmas. Both SCS and TruckersMP fail to create events that properly encourage ATS traffic. TruckersMP in particular has a hard time even remembering ATS exists. The Big Pumpkin Pickup is a perfect example of what both SCS and TruckersMP should be doing regularly. What happened to Featured Zone?

Based on the results of the February surveys, I expected the 110 km/h server and the 150 km/h server to have equal player counts, because players can choose a "fast" server and a "slow" server. However, the 110 km/h is not actually a "slow" server, but is instead a "compromise" server. When there was only one Simulation server, 110 km/h was a good compromise, but it doesn't make sense now that there are two servers. For most players, the game has not changed because everyone can drive the same speed they were driving before on the same compromise server; therefore there is no reason to use the 150 km/h server. The only way to push the fast drivers to the fast server is to make the slow server 90 km/h. Simulation 2 is not a compromise at 150 km/h (93 mph). Simulation 1 also should not be.

Unfortunately, I recently reset my PC, and only reinstalled TruckersMP in the last few days. I looked in that folder, and I did not find any files labeled April Fools. Do you have them in your files? Or perhaps it was there, but listed under a different name?

Does anyone here still have the files from the new road, and is willing to upload it? Thanks

The new road was on the Simulation (non-ProMods) servers, but only for April Fools. ProMods actually does not have C-D road - while it does include most of the motorways in the area of C-D road, the Autobahn 40 from the A73 (NL) to Duisburg* is notably absent from ProMods. This is because ProMods recreates the entire Benelux region without regard for the original road placements (as many of the non-motorway roads (including C-D road) in the original version of ETS2 are actually not based on any real-life road). *In addition, ProMods' recreation of Benelux is actually quite old - though their version of Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany (including Duisburg) is even older (arguably worse than SCS' Duisburg, and it definitely needs to be rebuilt).

16?

At night, the camera mirrors will look like it is daytime, so you can see things you otherwise wouldn't be able to. These mirrors also seem a bit larger than the normal mirrors. That's why this truck is the best truck in the game.

I joined the French National Gendarmerie and took part in a 2 hour police chase of a stolen car across 3 countries. For some reason, the perp seemed to really like the challenge of navigating traffic. This eventually led to his downfall; I, a Police nationale, and a German polizei were able to trap the suspect against a barrier. I also helped to secure the scene of a fruit van that lost part of its load on a German motorway.

Suggestion Name: TruckersMP HQ as EU Garage Location Suggestion Description / Why should it be added: This forum currently lets users specify their American Garage Location and EU Garage Location on profiles. However, the new TruckersMP HQ city is not listed. I think this should be added because the HQ city does have a garage in-game that players can set as their home garage, and having this as an option on the forum would allow users to again match their forum garage with their in-game headquarters.

As the current large staff lot is rarely full, I think it would make sense to divide the lot in half (by adding a barrier and another gate), resulting in a smaller lot for staff alongside a new lot for Patrons. It would also take some traffic away from the public lot, which is often overcrowded.

This error is because Cloudflare marks all Tor IPs as suspicious. I don't believe there is anything the TMP team can do without removing Cloudflare's protections entirely.

The event is mostly in Arizona, so no.

I noticed that if you try to join the server without all the files, it gives you this message: ------------------------------ From what I have heard, Iceland seems to have a lot of players. At the time of writing, Longyearbyen, a remote town hundreds of kilometers north of mainland Norway, is the most crowded, but Spain also has a few people.
