Hello Tux users! The TruckersMP Team get questions about Linux support, however, supporting another platform is not an easy task, and because of this, the mod isn't supported on Linux distributions. However, there is a workaround to install and use TruckersMP with some tools. DISCLAIMER: This is not an official support article, and TruckersMP Team cannot assist you if any problem occurs. Also, keep in mind, that the steps are not harmful to your installation, but if you mess up, I'm not responsible for any action you have done. Getting Started Linux Distro compatibility This forum post should work on any Linux distro, but because I can't test that on every variant of OSes, I can't guarantee that your installation will work instantly after you follow the steps. In that case, please leave a comment, and I'll help you, and post the solution in this post. The tutorial should work on: Debian-based distros (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop_OS, elementaryOS, etc) Red Hat-based distros (Fedora 39 is working well, I tested that) Arch-based distros (Yes, it should work on Steam Deck as well) In this post, I'll use Fedora 39 for a reference. Necessary packages Luckily, there is a tool called truckersmp-cli, which gives a list of necessary packages for us. However, the post is not about that tool, but for more advanced users, I can recommend messing around with it. You will need the necessary packages to install the mod on your system: Steam (Flatpack version should work, too!) steam-devices (for controller support) SDL2 Wine (Installing Lutris should give all the necessary files for you, and also a good tool to add other games from Windows-only stores, like Epic Games) Updating your system Before you do anything, make sure your operating system is up-to-date. To do that, follow the commands below: For Debian-based distros: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade For Red Hat-based ones: sudo dnf update For Arch-based one: sudo pacman -Syu Install the necessary packages If you already have the packages, then you can skip this part. For Debian-based distros: sudo apt install steam steam-devices wine sdl2 For Red-Hat based ones: sudo dnf install steam steam-devices wine SDL2.x86_64 For Arch-based one: yay steam steam-devices wine sdl2 There is a chance, that you need to alter the command a little bit or use other commands to install the packages. Setting up Steam and the games The TruckersMP is not working with Linux binaries, so you need to use the Windows version of the game. To do that, we will use Proton: Open Steam In the left corner, click on Steam -> Settings -> Compatibility Enable Steam Play for all other titles Restart Steam Then go to your Library and do the following for ETS2/ATS: Right-click on the game -> Properties -> Compatibility Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool Select Proton Experimental If you have already installed the game, then Steam will download it again with the necessary Windows binaries. If not, then you can install the game now. You will need the location of the game to make the launcher work. Locating the game folder: Right-click on the game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Browse Copy the location of your game installation Mine loos like this: /home/<username>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Euro Truck Simulator 2/ You will need that later. Install TruckersMP Launcher This is where wine comes in. Without wine, you can't run .exe files on your Linux distro, so with this compatibility layer, you can do that too! Go to the TruckersMP website and download the launcher installation: https://truckersmp.com/download After you download the file, open the terminal, and navigate to the downloaded file. You can use the cd command to navigate to the Downloads folder: cd Downloads Then, run the TruckersMP-Setup.exe file with wine like this: wine TruckersMP-Setup.exe A window will pop up that will say Wine setting up itself. If it asks you to install stuff, just say yes and proceed. We only use Wine to extract the necessary files for us, so the launcher won't start with it, in the terminal, this is what you get: Simply just press Ctrl + C and ignore this error message. Add the Launcher to Steam After that, we will use Steam Proton, to simply launch the mod you need to follow these steps: Open Steam In the left corner: Add a Game -> Add a Non-Steam Game... A new window popped up, simply click on Browse... Click on your home directory The launcher is installed in a hidden folder, you need to press Ctrl + H to unhide the files and folder Mine is installed here: /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/users/<username>/AppData/Local/TruckersMP/ Select TruckersMP-Launcher.exe After that, you need to go to your Library and do the same steps you had to do for ETS2/ATS as well in the Compatibility tab. Start the Launcher, and change the settings Open the launcher in Steam with the big green PLAY button. You will get the following: Don't worry that's why we located the game's location. Go to Settings, and change the game's path to the following: Z:\<games-path> of ex.: Z:\home\<username>\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2 Important! You will need to use backslash "\" instead of slash "/". This is a necessary step to take! After that, click on Save, and go back to "Play". Download the updates, and it should look like this now: Last Step: Enjoy! Simply, press the play button, and the game should start without any problem. What is working? The following things are working without any issues: Euro Truck Simulator 2 American Truck Simulator Xbox Game Controller Steam Overlay DirectX11 Things which should work but haven't been tested: Season Mods ProMods Client Themes Things are not working at that moment: Plugins, like job trackers (Needs redis files, still haven't figured out how to install them) For any issue, please leave a comment, and we will figure out. If you have solutions for us, feel free to share here, and I'll try to add some of them into the main post. I hope this forum post will help you, and finally you can enjoy the game on your favorite Linux distribution!

Let's see those setups!

Hello I am using the truckersmp-cli client because i use linux. I have tried to start the game but It told me that i have unsupported game version. I went to the unsupported game version guide and did everything that i can try but it did not work for me. When i open the game with out multi player this is the version: but when i open it straight from steam, the version is right: I have tried to update the game via the truckersmp-cli but i get a steam error: The output: Up until this point it had worked for me but not anymore. if anyone knows this problem or know how to fix it please comment, Thank you for reading this. Edit: When i try to run it i have another window that opens with an error:

Hello, i'm having some trouble with my game since few days Problem: I'm driving on the map like a normal player, and the game is like doing an automatic ATL + TAB (But I'm NOT doing this), and the game is still running in the background so if there is a curve, i'm crashing into the invisible wall or a player + When I'm doing the ATL + TAB key (by myself), my whole computer is freezing for like 1 second If anyone have a solution, it could be helpfull :)) I've already checked my game files, nothing wrong there Hardrives are not full Game is on the SSD Thanks, Lama

I know, there are questions like this, but there are only old threads about this. Are there plans to publish TruckersMP on mac in the future? With kind regards Scrafto

Hello guys, Have you recently experienced a problem with an SSD freezing the OS or game (which can result in unreliable connection kick from MP). Luckily there are solutions to that and I would like to share it with all the others having issues! When buying an SSD, make sure the speeds are listed as MB/s (Megabytes per second), not Mbps. If you plan to get an SSD but don't want to pay a much higher price, then I recommend the Crucial MX500 (not BX500), usually they will be a SATA type. (Make sure they have a DRAM cache) If you would rather have a very high performance SSD then I recommend getting an NVMe SSD (such as a WD Black SN750) IF your PC supports them, these are more expensive but are extremely better performing. Please keep all of the above in mind before purchasing an SSD! ========================================================================================================================== STEP ONE Make sure all your drivers are up to date on Windows! You can do this by opening start and typing "Device Manager". FOR SATA SSDs Look for "IDA/ATA/ATAPI controllers" and select the controller FOR NVMe SSDs Look for "Storage controllers" and select the controller Right click it and press 'Update driver'. Then close device manager. STEP TWO Go to the link below and download the 'registry' file(.reg) - Number 2 https://bit.ly/2EXDe8f Once you have done that and added the registry file, search for "Edit power plan" . Press "Change advanced power settings" Select "Hard Disk" > "AHCI Link Power Management - HIPM/DIPM" > "Setting" and select the option "Active". Click apply and close control panel and power options. STEP THREE If you have a Kingston, SanDisk, Samsung, WD Green/Blue/Black SSD or Crucial use the links below to download their SSD Dashboards. Kingston: https://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/ssdmanager SanDisk: https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/15108/~/sandisk-ssd-dashboard-support-information (Download option!) Samsung: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools/ (SAMSUNG MAGICIAN) Western Digital: https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?p=279 Crucial: https://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/support-storage-executive Once you have installed the manager for your SSD(s), go to your SSD in the dashboard and check for firmware updates. For example this is WD's dashboard And Crucial's dashboard Make sure to check SSD health, status etc... to make sure your SSD is healthy and not suffering any issues. STEP FOUR Once you have updated your firmware, you should be good to go! If you still unfortunately have issues with freezing, I recommend you follow the steps below! STILL GOT ISSUES? Well you have two options which aren't really what you want to do... 1. Re-install windows on your SSD (make sure to backup your data) and wipe the SSD partitions on install. 2. Contact your SSD manufacturer and see if they can help with the issue(s). If you managed to fix it, congrats! Enjoy trucking. Know any others with SSD issues? Link them here!

Hey friends! I've been really into American Truck Simulator and I was super excited to see they already released a Multiplayer mod for it so I put together a quick tutorial (under 4 minutes) since that is what I do on Youtube. Hope it helps you get connected!

Suggestion Name: Collision vs Non-collision handling Suggestion Description: I think that the collision of trucks outside of non-collision zones with trucks inside non-collision zones can be improved to help with the chaos in front of these zones, and the incapability of players to form a queue for entering and exiting such zones. Especially for company areas where trucks drive onto the parking dialog field and stop, with their trailer still reaching out of the zone. Currently non-collision only works for trucks within the zone, as trucks outside of the zone still collide with those that have no collision, which sounds like a paradox in itself. It would be helpful if all truck were unable to collide with trucks in a non-collision area. I am aware of the gameplay setting of always choosing a delivery spot automatically, but it seems that most players do not know of this option and so every time someone drives onto a company area to deliver their trailer they will block all other players from entering until they've picked their spot and accelerated again. This causes an unnecessary line and people start overtaking while others are trying to exit and suddenly you have Calais-like traffic for no good reason. If you'd like an example of such situations you just have to watch a random Idiots on the road, there's always at least one clip of trucks flipping and stuff because they collide with trucks that are inside the non-collision area. Any example images: As you can see on this image, truck A is standing on the delivery/pickup dialog trigger (white square) inside the non-collision zone, and is therefore in non-collision mode. However if truck B tried to drive onto the area, it would be blocked by the trailer of truck A, because truck B is not in non-collision mode yet. Instead truck B should be unable to collide with truck A in this situation. The same is true for exiting. Often a truck leaves the non-collision zone but the trailer is still partially inside the non-collision zone. Many players do not realise the implications and queue up touching (or being inside) the trailer, which usually results in flipping the truck that is currently leaving, even tho the truck that causes the flip is still inside the non-collision area. And too often does truck C think that truck B is stupid or something and tries to overtake which results in even worse situations. Why should it be added?: Take this suggestion as a follow-up improvement of this one: Extending the non-collision zones would not help this situation at all, the problem would still be the same, but just move to somewhere else. Instead I am positive that if collision detection is changed, it would make entering and exiting non-collision areas much less frustrating and less prone to bad drivers.

Suggestion Name: Linux Support Suggestion Description: Add Linux Support for Truckers MP. Any example images: / Why should it be added?: Valve is supporting Linux now for a long time and with Steams Proton you can also play Windows titles. Linux is an OS which is constantly improving and growing. Everyday there are many new users joining the linux community just to see that they can't play their favorite game - ATS/ETS with TruckersMP. Gaming on Linux is getting more important everyday, so its just a good view in the future to support linux.

Hi guys, you've got the counters of players online, so why dont you have a counter for views, player etc.? Suggestion Name: Usercounter Suggestion Description: You set up an counte at the bottom of the Website and put all website statistics (registered members, topics, online people, ...). It should be updated hourly or so. Pictures: at the bottom Why should it be added?: I would love to see this great community grow. And not only by how many players are online, but all the time.

Hi everybody, I'd like to know If I'm able to set a personalized logo company in ETS2, so that I could put it in my truck as well. How could I do it? Thank you very much

I wrote the tag "I can do anything" with I not i, but it lowered it, I know that i is not correct, I is correct. Hello, I'd like to ask if is allowed park double trailers in "I can do anything" difficulty (If it is possible.)? I don't see any reason why not, but I just want to ask. And I would like to ask why I/we can't delete reports? And I would like to ask why is there restricted area for double trailers? what's the purpose?

Hello! I recently reinstalled Bootcamp (due to the fact my mac couldn't work out where it was) and installed ets2 and truckersmp. Keep in mind since this is a recent installation, there is no malware present, only things installed are graphics drivers, steam, truckersmp, and MSI afterburner. My laptop specs is 8GB ram, 1GB VRAM GeForce 650M. I am using an external SSD, Samsung 860 Evo to store ets2. BOOTCAMP is basically running Windows 10 on a Mac, keep in mind I am not saying "MacOS". Now time to get down to the problem. My game (on windows 10) was silky smooth after installation. I had to lower the graphics quality for optimal performance. Windows (10) recently automatically updated. I restarted the computer, started up ets2, and it seems there is a lot of stuttering. Before the update, my resolution was 2880x1800 and low/medium graphics. (Mostly low). After the update, I have to change my resolution to 720p, change all settings to low/disabled. Even now there is still slight stuttering. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?. This is because this is a new installation with 10 or fewer applications. I have also optimized settings in windows from the tutorial on the forums, ie turning superfetch off, prerender 1. I have done all the things in that post. On MacOS, ets2 silky smooth with medium settings, and my native resolution, 2880 x 1800.

Hi There! I have a big problem. I wanna run ETS2 Multiplayer on my Linux but it wont start up. I've installed it via Lutris but nothing. On lutris it says works flawlessy, also on WineHQ. I tried everything. Run manually truckersmp cli. Run steam via ets2multi prefix after truckersmp cli nothing. How can I fix it? Please answer. I tried on Linux Mint 19.1, Arch Linux. Balazs.

Доброго времени суток! Я решил перейти на LINUX! Я что-то не могу разобраться, как подключить мр на нем. Устанавливал и Vine и другие эмуляторы- нет не какой работоспособности. Может есть такие кто уже не первый месяц играют на LINUX?. За ранее благодарю!!

Please also create a Mac / Apple compatible version. There must be a lot of people asking this? Pretty please?

Hey guys! This might be a nooby question but how can I use my own custom made skins in online. I've created my own trailer skin but it wont show in online. Is there a way for them to show online. Thanks

Hello Truckers! I have problem with my steering wheel. I buy TRACER Drifter it was 270 degrees. And i can't setup this in ETS2... Can you send down below your setting for this or maybe commands on setup 270 degrees steering wheel in ETS2 or can remove the view of steering wheel. Please help me. .

Hey guys, I know this is outside the general scope of support but wondering if anyone has this experience. I'm trying to run Truckers MP through wine - there's a guy online who did it with Ubuntu 18 and it seems to be flawless. Currently I'm running the latest Arch Linux distro but I seem to be running into a couple issues. Before installing ATS and ETS2 I installed .NET 4.0 through winetricks, all went well. Installed Steam through wine, then the games themselves. Started both games and made a save file in each. Installed the latest TruckersMP launcher, pointed it to the ATS and ETS2 directories, no issues. When starting the launcher, this is where I run into problems - I've attached a screenshot of the error. I can't really make sense of it, so hopefully somebody has experienced this before. Cheers
