Problem with course selection in DBus Client
SvartWolf replied to kamil96500's question in Unsolved Topics
Hello there @kamil96500, Firstly, please ensure that you are using the Bolloré BlueBus before attempting to start a route/line. If the issue still persists, it is also worth noting that along with the updated client, we have also updated some of the line files, which you may need to replace manually. In order to do this, you will need to do the following: Join our Discord Navigate to the Routes / Lines category Go to the TruckersMP post/thread Download the TruckersMP 1.50+ .zip file In that .zip file you will find a folder named TruckersMP 1.50+. Simply place this folder into Documents/DBus Client/maps and you should be good to go! If you still encounter any issues, please let me know! Kind regards, SvartWolf DBus World Management -
Can I get another admin's opinion on ban?
SvartWolf replied to Surname9540's question in Unsolved Topics
Hello @Surname9540, If you haven't done so already, you can appeal your ban by following this article. If you have sent an appeal already, please wait patiently for an answer. Please note that it can take up to 3 days to review your appeal. You can not speed up this process. If no evidence has been added to your ban, you can request them in the appeal. Unfortunately, you will be unable to get an additional opinion from another Game Moderator as per the following rule; §4.2 - Forum topics, posts, status updates, and private messages > Discussing punishments, reports, tickets, appeals, applications is prohibited, including complaints about staff. Hopefully this answers your question! -
Hey @31Delta, Firstly, to ensure that your suggestion can be considered, I would recommend editing your post so that it follows the template provided. That being said, to provide my personal viewpoint on this suggestion, I am unable to see how this would actually be more beneficial than the current way that we login to TruckersMP prior to selecting a server. From what I understand, this suggestion aims to avoid the need to input your account details every time you wish to login, however this can already be avoided by selecting the "Remember Me" option on the login screen; thus avoiding the need to input your details each time (unless you've recently changed your email or password). If I've misunderstood your suggestion, please let me know, as I feel that I may have missed something here.

Hello @FoxxDash, Upon careful consideration of this suggestion, I find it initially promising, but not personally convincing in terms of its effectiveness. To delve into the reasons, let's explore the viability of substantiating such incidents. To begin with, we cannot rely on users self-identifying with tags like "TTV," "Streaming," or "Recording," as these tags could be easily exploited for obvious misuse. Furthermore, even if we were aware that a certain user is streaming during an incident, it remains uncertain whether you are the intended target of their actions via the stream. Given that there are numerous users who purposefully disregard the rules on a daily basis, certainty would only arise by formally reporting the issue via the website reporting system and supplying substantial evidence. For instance, you might present a comprehensive video of your entire stream, accompanied by timestamps that highlight instances where a user seemed to be following you, irrespective of your location on the map. Nevertheless, you must also acknowledge the chance that this user might be tracking you through the TruckersMP Map rather than your live stream. Which then raises another valid question: How can you validate that they are exploiting your stream to track your movements? In essence, there isn't a straightforward approach to this, as merely spotting their name in your stream's chat doesn't inherently prove their intent. It could be a friend attempting to extend the punishment of a rule violator by invoking "Stream Sniping." Lastly, I personally wouldn't be in favor of permitting users to report others using evidence from a live-stream, as there's a potential for abuse through repetitive reporting of users from someone's stream without their approval. Overall, I like the though that has gone into this suggestion, and it will undoubtedly have a range of opinions and viewpoints. However, I personally remain skeptical about the practical implementation of such a rule. That being said, I'd love to see more opinions on this suggestion!

Hello @Mattify, Whilst I can appreciate that you have evidently applied some thought to this suggestion, I personally would have to agree with Stormboi's comment; As you are most likely already aware, the load on both the web and game report systems are usually high, and with the addition of such "rewards", this would only increase that number by potentially double or triple the amount. Additionally, as Stormboi has also pointed out, such "reward" would also lead to a spam of unnecessary reports for small incidents, which only makes our work much harder Fundamentally, the reporting systems exist to help the Game Moderation Team catch those that break the rules when we cannot be present in-game ourselves. Lastly, it is also worth mentioning that such "tokens" wouldn't provide much purpose, regardless of how it was set up. For example; If you were to keep the value of each token low, as per your comment, this would require a lot of tokens to even reduce your ban by a day. On the other hand, if you were to increase the value of each token to 12 hours for example, this would then encourage users to spam the report systems until they have enough tokens to completely remove a ban should they ever find themselves breaking the rules, thus defeating the purpose of a ban.

Do you agree to the introduction of a new server for banned players?
SvartWolf replied to ^Ares^ [ITA]'s topic in Rejected
Hello @ROMANISTA [ITA], In my personal opinion, having a server dedicated exclusively to banned players on TruckersMP would be a bad idea for several reasons. While it may seem like a solution to allow banned players to continue playing without disrupting other users, there are significant drawbacks to implementing such a server. --- Undermining the Purpose of a Ban: A ban is typically imposed as a consequence for violating the rules and regulations of a platform. It serves as a deterrent and a disciplinary measure to maintain a healthy and fair gaming environment. Creating a separate server for banned players contradicts the purpose of the ban and dilutes its effectiveness. Encouraging Toxic Behavior: Allowing banned players to access a dedicated server can foster a toxic and negative part of the community. Such players may feel encouraged to engage in further misconduct, especially if they are still allowed access to an exclusive server for the duration of their ban. Thus potentially leading to an environment that in some cases encourages reckless driving, hacking, and other forms of rule breaches. Negative Impact on Community Perception: The existence of a server exclusively for banned players could harm the overall perception and reputation of TruckersMP. It may lead to public scrutiny, criticism, and reduced trust from the community and potential new players. The perception of an environment that is more lenient towards rule-breaking and overall misconduct could deter genuine players from engaging with the platform. --- That being said, rather than creating a separate server for banned players, it is generally more effective for TruckersMP to focus on maintaining the current fair and consistent enforcement of rules, educating players about appropriate behavior, and providing opportunities for banned players to learn from their mistakes. These efforts contribute to a healthier gaming community and can ensure that the platform remains enjoyable for everyone involved. Kind regards, SvartWolf TruckersMP Game Moderator -
Hello again @'AboutViki., As previously mentioned, I personally like the idea of having chat commands for creating in-game reports, as these would prove useful for a multitude of reasons. As it currently stands, the only way to create an in-game report is by opening the scoreboard, right-clicking on the player, and then selecting the report option. From there, you simply select the reason for your report in the pop up menu, and then select submit. Although this sounds simple, and to many it is quite easy to do, I can understand that this may not be so easy for some, especially whilst driving. That being said, as many players evidently find it very easy to type in the chat, there is the possibility that this could result in the in-game report system being abused with unnecessary reports. Additionally, should a user cause an incident that results in them attempting to leave the server before being reported, this then opens up another problem. If you proceed to report a user via the chat with their ID, if they have already left the server before you've finished writing your message, you may end up reporting another player who has recently joined and picked up their ID. Overall, the suggestion is certainly interesting, and personally I think it's worth discussing, however it does evidently come with it's fair share of flaws.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Event Team and Add-on Team (and anyone else involved) for their hard work and dedication in creating Haulie Island for the upcoming Tournament event. As a long-time member of the TruckersMP community, I have seen first-hand the tireless effort the team puts into delivering the best possible experience for its players, and it certainly shows through with these type of events! Creating an entire island for the upcoming event is a huge undertaking and it is clear that the team has put in a lot of hard work to ensure the event is a success. From the detailed map design to the intricate road network, it is clear that no detail has been overlooked. I am incredibly excited to watch and possibly participate in this upcoming event. It is a unique opportunity to see some of the best drivers in the game compete in a unique environment, and it will be interesting to see the strategies that drivers employ on both activities and the final race, all to compete for the top spot of tournament champion. I am also looking forward to the unique challenges that the island will present. From the drag strip and challenges to the newly added dirt track, I am confident that the tournament will be an exciting and enjoyable experience for all

Congratulations on 5,000,000 registered users - A huge milestone indeed! From my time within the team, and through my commitments in other projects, I've always had a huge passion for the TruckersMP community, and it's great to see that this achievement has finally been accomplished. The discussions that have taken place within the user panel, combined with the recent surveys will hopefully provide a clear path to new achievements and further milestones. Although some users still have their doubts, from my perspective, TruckersMP is entering a whole new chapter, and it's clear things are about to get much better. Furthermore, I would like to thank TruckersMP for their hard work and dedication in providing a platform for truckers to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator together in an online multiplayer environment. The TruckersMP team has worked tirelessly over the years to make sure that the platform is always up to date with the latest game updates, as well as providing an ever-growing list of features that make playing with others even more enjoyable. From the introduction of the new job dispatcher to the addition of buses, the TruckersMP team has done a great job of making sure that the platform is always improving and expanding. The team has also gone the extra mile to ensure that the platform is secure and safe for all players. It's also clear that the TruckersMP team has also taken the time to listen to the community and implement features that players have requested. This has resulted in a platform that is constantly being improved and tweaked to make sure that it is the best experience for all players. Finally, I would like to thank the TruckersMP team for their commitment to providing a great experience for all players. They have evidently worked hard to make sure that the platform is always running smoothly and that players are always having a great time. Thank you, TruckersMP team, for all your hard work and dedication!

Tis the season for a TruckersMP Christmas Convoy! I'm really looking forward to this one, both to see everyone coming together to celebrate the holiday season, and to celebrate all the achievements that TruckersMP has made during the year of 2022. From a partnership with DBus World, to a brand new launcher, TruckersMP has made so many achievements this year, and I'm already excited to see what 2023 brings

Hello there @semhut05, Firstly, are you playing on the Simulation 1 server? If so, the amount players could be the main cause of your issue. When there are a large number of players in one area, this can cause lag and low FPS to most PC's, despite how high their specs may be. To help tackle this issue, you could try lowering your graphic settings when driving on TruckersMP, or turning off/reducing the some settings in the TAB menu; Development Logging Smoothing Distance Load Cabin Accessories Load Flags Additional Lights Draw Distance Furthermore, you could also try the following settings; Enable Vsync ( It is always better to having a Stable FPS Rate around 60 than often a Jumping between 180 till 45 or lower. Set Scale to 400% Disable MLAA Disable DOF Disable Anisotropic Filtering by moving the Slider to the left Moreover, as beacons can cause FPS drops for some users, you could also try the following command; g_disable_beacons (0/ 1/ 2) 0 is the default setting ( flares & flashing lights active ) 1 removes the flares ( lights still flash but without the flare effects ) 2 disables the flashing & flare effects ( the beacons are static ) Hopefully this helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you require further assistance! Happy Trucking!

Hey @Big_Nasty, I'm sorry to hear about the recent issues that you've been experiencing with launcher. This can be frustrating, especially when you feel like you've exhausted all your options. However, just to rule out the obvious, make sure that you are installing the newest launcher as per the following blog; https://truckersmp.com/blog/280. Although the previous version should still work as intended, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest, as with many other things. To help rule out any other possible issues, I would recommend carrying out a full uninstall and reinstall of the TruckersMP mod (Make sure you don't have the previous and current launchers installed at the same time). You can find out how to properly reinstall the mod here; https://truckersmp.com/kb/147. Additionally, please ensure that your ETS2/ATS games are up to date, and that you've verified the integrity of your game files. Below you can find steps on how to do this; Go to the Steam Launcher Right-click on ETS2/ATS from the Library Select Properties from the menu Select the Local files tab Click Verify integrity of game files (Steam will then verify the game's files) If none of the above has worked, you can also find solutions to common launcher errors here; https://truckersmp.com/kb/917 Hopefully this helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you require further assistance.

Hello @Leksa00, From what I can understand, you have two (2) Steam accounts, both with the game Euro Truck Simulator 2 on them. Due to this, you have created 2 separate TruckersMP accounts. If this is correct, you will need to do the following; Make sure you are signed into your main account (Or at least the one you know the login details for). Create a Support Ticket and explain your issue in as much detail as you can. From there, a member of staff can take you through any necessary verification steps, and assist you in regaining access to your second account once again. Unless it's necessary, I would personally recommend sticking to one account only. In addition to this, if you are/get banned on one account, and are found to then use the other account, this would be seen as "Ban Evading", and thus that account would also receive a ban. Hopefully this helps, and please let us know if you require further assistance. Happy Trucking!

Truly one of the best events hosted by TruckersMP. Real Operations never fails to deliver a unique experience, with new scenes to see in every version. However, although the execution of the event was flawless, I still feel as if Real Ops V14 didn't deliver the same level of experience as previous editions. This however, mainly comes from the lack of custom map edits compared to previous versions, which is always affected by time, availability and how many staff members have the knowledge on how to create such edits. With other events to focus on simultaneously, and previous Event Managers/Add-on Team members leaving in the recent months, it was unfortunately to be expected. That being said, knowing how challenging such an event is to prepare and manage, the TruckersMP team always proves what good teamwork can do. Following my experience in helping out with Real Operations behind the scenes twice in the past, I really appreciate the time and effort that the team puts into this each year. I'm already looking forward to Real Operations V15

With many payers now satisfied with the long awaited release of buses, it's great to see that the TruckersMP Team is already taking the next big step into it's future. The idea to open up a general community survey is one of the best ways of getting community feedback and is something not many people do. From someone who plans/hosts a lot of events within the community, this will also serve as a great opportunity for me and other Event Managers within the community to provide a lot of feedback on event related matters, and to also provide them with feedback for their own official events ? In addition to this, I love the idea of introducing Focus Groups and looking to interact with the community more personally. This should allow more accurate and frequent feedback from those on the public side of the project. Unfortunately many users think that the TruckersMP Team builds the project to how they like it, and that they don't listen to the community, however this certainly says otherwise! I'll definitely be filling out the survey, and I look forward to seeing what's next for TruckersMP. Keep up the great work!

Although I was unfortunately unable to attend this event, I'm glad to hear that everything well, and that everyone had a great time ? The fuel stops set up by the Event Team was very well done, and provided a safe system for those using the buses to fuel up (Recharge) before taking to the roads of the Austrian mountains ?️ The views along this chosen route would have been stunning, and I'm really looking forward to being able to attend the next one.

The new #TruckersMP Merch looks amazing, and I can't wait to grab something myself! ? The idea of seasonal items is also a really good addition and I look forward to what else will come next in the near future! A huge Merry Christmas to you all, and Happy Trucking! ??
