I have some weird lag spike problems in ets2mp, and I am trying to figure out what precisely is causing the problem.
If I go back about 3-4 months ago this problem didn't exist, and I don't really understand what is going on.
One thing I do know, is that the lag occurs mostly when entering an area with players (so when the game tries to load the trucks/trailers etc).
Lowering the draw distance, and lowering the smoothing distance makes it only worse. My draw distance is normally maxed and it seems like the ingame draw distance limit is 489(when opening the config.txt file in the documents\ETS2MP).
Lowering the graphics (even to something stupid like 800x600 with low graphics) doesn't change anything either.
PC temperatures are fine, tried multiple graphics drivers, and nothing seems to change or help in any way.
My pc specs are:
I7 7700K
GTX1080
32gb ram
500 gb samsung 960 euo nvme ssd
So my specs shouldn't be a problem, as far as I know. And the game runs normally at about 60-120 fps, it really depends on how many people are in the area.
The only thing that I can think of that *might* help, is if I can change the draw distance to something like 4x the amount. That way the game would load most of the traffic in the area at once. And hopefully makes the lag spikes a bit less.
But as far as I know that is not something I can change in the settings.
Thank you for reading, and I hope someone has a suggestion, or an idea about what is going on.
