SMRY Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 While I've been driving noting no rd. traffic, other than, occasional TMPs here & there. In SP mode I've tons of traffic along the way. In MP mode nada... Have I missed a step, &, or, other download feature of TMP?. Thus far I've been operating within ATS {US}Simulation, if that makes any difference.

FY96 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Hi 1-Multiplayer if you want to drive with other players and participate in traffic Sim1,Sim2 servers if you choose to join the traffic. (but there is a lot of traffic on the sim1 server) 2- Calais - Duisburg - Lille and the surrounding cities you can get what you want because there are so many people If you are going to enter traffic, be careful when carrying loads because trawlers can be players and ruin your load. Have a good days Always ready for help Steam | TruckersMP Profile | Forum Profile | Discord | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granite [SVK] Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Unlike the fellow above, I understand that you mean AI traffic. You haven't missed anything, you won't encounter any AI vehicles on any TMP server, only human controlled vehicles. This has always been like that, originally due to difficulties of implementing/synchronizin AI traffic into the multiplayer. About two years ago, developers figured something, and new multiplayer game mode with AI traffic was promised, but again, never delivered, because of constant updates for the game breaking everything, and it was too difficult and time consuming to keep up with them, and other more important things took priority. This part of the project is since then, kind of, put on hold, not actively worked on, but not completely discarded. Some people drive with friends, some join VTC (virtual trucking company) that often organize convoys, but I prefer to do things at my own pace, while running into other players here and there. Personally, I don't miss AI traffic that much, after lot of time spent in singleplayer, I like the roads empty for a change, AI traffic in both games sometimes gets on your nerves, while it is predictable, sometimes it is capable of shenanigans rivaling human trolls in multiplayer, including ramming, cutting you off , slamming on brakes for no reason, effectively brake checking you, even colliding with each other, or randomly stopping in the middle of the road, not to mention problematic merging, when they often stop at the end of on ramp, refusing to move until 2 miles behind them is clear of any traffic. I have tried mods, but they only fixed few things, while made everything else much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feared perhaps I'd missed an important step during my employment with ATS / TMP. "Long Live TMP". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povgamer Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 As many people probably may have mentioned, there is no AI traffic on TruckersMP. I personally love this, as it allows you to keep cruising down the road at whichever speed you want. But, if you want a more realistic experience on TMP, I would either go to mild traffic areas in Sim 1 (such as Amsterdam) or just stick to playing singleplayer.

Strad Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 To summarize everything mentioned above: Currently there are still no AI traffic in TMP/Online, I believe it's because SCS software updates their AI system ever so often that it's difficult for the developers to implement such features onto multiplayer, maybe it will happen in the future? Certainly not for now and not anytime soon. As for areas with many players on ETS2, places like Duisburg, Calais, Dusseldorf and surrounding areas are usually packed on the Simulation 1 server, depending on timezones as well - I've seen a constant 500-600 players on the server in the morning while reaching heights of 4000 players at night. You should also avoid taking your World of Trucks (WoT) contracts into crowded places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go wherever I need to go to get my WoT contract done. If you mean the speed limiter, that is no issue to me, and if that's problem for anyone and they cause any trouble, they get reported. I see you have not been around very long, but there have been couple of memorable WoT events that temporarily turned normally deserted areas into hot spots similar to what Rotterdam-Europoort area once used to be, prior to Calais-Dusiburg road becoming a thing. You may remember "Operation Genoa bridge" ETS2 event from this year's summer, there was "One Truck Family" Event for ETS2 in spring of 2019 and "Big Sur" event for ATS in summer of 2018. All of these event had very specific delivery destination, turning them into massive traffic jams in multiplayer, everyone there trying to deliver their WoT contacts. Also, number of other WoT events, like Trade Connections events, brought more players into specific countries, or ot least increased player count in general. I only wish these were more frequent, instead of having only 2 or 3 per year. Check this one, one of the craziest WoT events so far, the team even had to do map edit for the delivery area: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granite [SVK] Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I dunno, terrible things can happen whether you are on WoT job, normal job, or none at all (like roadies on C-D road, I imagine), only difference is, when they screw up normal job, they reload autosave, spawn somewhere in the middle of the road multiple times untill they find the right save, screwing someone else in the proccess. When you screw up WoT job, you can decide to continue, or if it's not worth it, or you can't recover back on the road, only option is to abandon and reload save back where you started and take another one - I make hard save inside NCZ before departing on a WoT job in multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
