How to increase FPS

[Guest sikstar]

just play in number 4 or 6 camera view with side mirror enabled..and see the FPS increase...

Another thing that I have noticed that gives me a lot more fps is the mirror distance. For whatever reason the mirror viewing distance if higher causes a lot of fps drop. I have mine on low and get max FPS!

The subject is beautiful and useful but it is a bit screwed to use it

Ive tried all these things, but I can't seem to get smooth gameplay. I made a post about it asking for help...

That's a very good guide! I will try doing it once I'm back home, in a couple of months. Thanks for your efforts.

Nice guide but I'm pretty sure that updating graphics drivers does nothing to help fps at all. I have some tips you could add to this. 

 

Changing ETS2 priority in task manager to high and killing explorer.exe during gameplay (you can get it back after by going to task manager, click file at the top left, run new task, then type explorer in the box) can help gain a few fps.

 

Also disabling all services you don't need will free a significant amount of resources.

@dragonslayingmaster1000 If you're using older version of graphics drivers it mostly causes fps drops, lags. So it's really important to have the newest version of graphics drivers.

Great guide  
Another thing (atleast for Euro Truck Sim 2), make sure your running DirectX11 and not DirectX9 (I saw someone talking about it in the support room on the discord, and asked about how to check it)

Here's how:

1. Go to 'Documents'

2. Go to 'Euro Truck Simulator 2'

3. Search for the file called 'config.cfg' and open it (With Notepad++ or some other program. I'll recommend Notepad++ though  )
4. Search for 'r_device'

5. After 'r_device' check if it says either 'dx9' or 'dx11' if its 'dx9', change it to 'dx11' and save  

6. Enjoy the game  

 

I went from about 45 fps in an area with 30 people in it, to about 90-95 fps  

Dx9 seems to be using only 1 core.

Dx11 uses about 4

 

Your performance improvement depends on your CPU and GPU

Wow, I  changed to dx11 & got a lovely boost, around 25 fps on high settings.

Great tip, thanks

Nice guide. I noticed, that disabling DLC Skin packs in Steam increased FPS and decreased Lags both in Single play and Multi play (TMP).

Great, guide thanks!

Thank you for the info! This has helped me because I usually had 20-30 fps, but now I have around 50. This has helped me and I recommend you do this is you have low fps.
