ATSMP freezing/lagging when approaching other players

[Tumleren]

Hi,

 

Im not sure if this is something that's fixable, but I thought I'd try and ask.

So after I started ATS MP I noticed that I was getting a lot of lag/freezing/stutters when other players were near.

This isn't something I experienced before when playing ETS2MP - My FPS would drop around other players, but I would keep driving at the same pace.

With ATS I'm freezing on the highway, being dangerous to others around me. I see people behind me swerve after a freeze, something I used to have to do myself since only other people were laggy.

So how do I fix this (if it is fixable)? I tried using low detail models, and reduced 'smoothing distance', but it doesn't really seem to have made a noticeable difference.

Are other people experiencing the same, and is it a problem with the MP client, or is it just me and I'll have to live with it?

Help appreciated

Here is a video of how well it works: 

 

This, like you did not happen in ETS2MP

Maybe if you set the graphics lower that fix the lag

No, I have tested the graphics on LOW too, in ATS and the separate options menu (tab) and It still lags.

Can confirm this, just tried playing with everything on low, both in-game and multiplayer menu; still got lag spikes. So not sure what to do

Hi, is this option in the normal gameplay options or elsewhere?

 

I'm having same issues

It's in the multiplayer options on the login screen or when you press TAB ingame. I can confirm that unchecking this box has removed the lag I was experiencing.
