Omsi 2: How To Stop Lag *Fix* & Boost FPS Tutorial + Stop Jumping Bus (Omsi 2 Settings explained)

Omsi 2 due to its poor optimisation can be extremely laggy, return low FPS and even lead to your bus to jumping. However there are a number of easy fixes to stop or at least reduce lag, boost FPS and stop the annoying bus jumping bug. In this Omsi 2 Tutorial I explain how to reduce lag in Omsi 2 and what are the best settings to use to maximise performance. This is particularly useful for people running on low spec/end PCs and ensure you achieve the best Omsi 2 the Bus Simulator performance that your machine can handle. I also explain the settings and how to set up for optimum performance, as well as which settings cause the most lag.

Not having the Particle Systems Active will not break the game as you suggested. Particles are to do with the smoke/exhaust fumes you see coming out from the buses.

Thanks for the correction, that is true. They just drastically reduce the simulation experience.

Hey TE, just thought I would comment and leave a suggestion. Do you think you could do a tutorial on how to move sounds from one bus to another? like for example I'm looking to put the MB Workshop ZF tridents sounds from the London spec to the regional spec ALX400 Dennis Trident. Regards DBF

[@TransportEnthusiast]

Hi, certainly such a tutorial needs to be made, however I myself have not actually done it before and thus wouldn't be familiar with how it is done. That being said, I can certainly look into it and if I figure out how to do it, perhaps make a video on it.

[@aidanyates2768]

Hi there, I have recently ran into issues where my game would freeze after clicking on one of the icons in the bottom right corner. (Load New bus, Load New Timetable). This causes my game to crash and in worse cases, makes my gaming laptop crash. My specs are, Ryzen 7 1700, RX580 4GB VRAM, 16GB Ram. Is there any way that this could be fixed? It is a shame since I do enjoy this game on previous older laptops and would like to play it on my current laptop. Many Thanks :)

[@TransportEnthusiast]

This usually occurs if you click something before game is fully loaded or while it is frozen i.e loading. Best bet is to not click anything if you get a blue rotating loading arrow on your mouse until it disappears and if the sound is on loop again nothing should be touched, basically golden rule is if game is frozen don't press anything.

[@yf9446]

hi im not sure why but everytime when i press the “station brakes & door release on/off” it will will appear benchmark 2 and fps below it on top left corner of my screen and the bus will start to jump.. any solution from you and how can i private message you about omsi2?

Thank you for your help! One question, I have a lot of lag on one certain part of the line 24 from Luzern add on, in the direction Luzern Hauptbahnhof-Meggen... From Balm station and on, the bus starts to jump and my fps suddenly drops to, like, 2 per second, then I have to exit Omsi, crash.... Up until that point, I have regular 20-30 FPS... No lags... I optimized the setting the way you said, but no help...any thoughts what can cause it? Its a shame, its a really great add on

@@TransportEnthusiast Literally after I posted the comment, I went back to the game, tried again, but during daytime ingame and everything was fine....

[@oliverh4576]

Great video, would you say 4GB patch makes a big difference?

[@TransportEnthusiast]

Thank you. The 4gb patch mainly makes the game playable for a longer session, as it delays the withe textures, white or black buses and missing tiles that may appear after Omsi 2 runs out of memory. It is particularly useful on heavy maps, which use up a lot of RAM. So overall the 4gb patch is a must.
