Game stutters when loading new players

[L2N_Pro]

I am looking to upgrade to my pc, and I'm not sure what to upgrade. The most annoying problem with ets2mp that I have is a stutter when new players are loaded in my range. Is this a cpu or hdd bottleneck?

A mixture of gpu, cpu and ram.

 

Make sure you have (ideally) 6 or more GB RAM to have some in reserve (this requires a 64 bit windows), since loading those players eats very much of the ram.

Make sure that your GPU can run with the settings you use, at most of the time with 40, better 50 or even more, frames per second.

And the CPU should have a high single core performance since the ets2 engine uses only 2 cores (you can see this in the log file in your ets2 directory/documents folder). So ideally a not that old i5 or i7 by intel or amd a or fx series.

 

When you enter Rotterdam or any other heavily populated areas, your computer will still stutter (tried it on mine, even low graphics settings don't bring much more fps).

I belive this happens to most people, I know it happens to me its not so much of a problem but it can get annoying.

Decent GPU - minimum - 700 GTX series

RAM - Minimum 6 gb

CPU -  I5 - I7 with a minimum 2,5 - 3,2 frequency 

SSD - 120 gb that will contain windows + steam and ets2

It always happens to me, whenever a player comes near to me, the game has to load that person's details, Truck Model, paintjob, rims, configuration. This demands alot of resources from my CPU, RAM and probably my HDD as it is always loading something when a player comes within the rendering distance.

^Enabling "Quick Load (experimental)" in the MP options could reduce the lag

Got it to be a bit less noticable, by turning down the resolution of the mirrors a notch (really didn't notice a big difference going down from ultra)

Though, that only helps for trucks catching up. The others isn't a bother to me, but it is precent. And i use it to my advantage, because i get a bit of warning, since i don't use the player list up.

Yeah, that really helps. Especially on my computer, which you can view it's specs from my profile. I tried this on my laptop, and it was just crash after crash. So only use it if you have a high-end machine. Btw what does that even do? Does it reduce my lag, or other's lag?

I think it reduces both lags. Players are loaded earlier and therefore your game can preload some trucks/scenery instead of doing it all on one time which leads to less lag for others, since you do not lag that much.
