This might be common sense for some of the advanced members in our community, but I think it will help our friends who are just starting off in their trucking journey.

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

Thanks for the comments guys. I understand a lot of folks are wondering about the ideal load order. Let me tell you, I also don't know 😂. What I do know is that the following setup, in general, has worked for me for the past few years. Take it with a grain of salt. My load order from top to bottom: - NaturaLux by GerScaniaTrucker - Sound Fixes Pack by Drive Safely - Engine sounds (EVR, etc) - Project Next-Gen by DamianSVW (not including the Weather module) - Maps - Trucks - Truck accessories - Trailers - AI traffic packs Hope this helps!

[@Triplex5014]

*Whoaaa, damn MLAA!* I with a Pentium G4400 and Sapphire R9 380 Nitro 4GB played ETS2 and ATS everything on ultra except scalling was at 200%. GPU was used 80% and CPU 95%. CPU temp 45 celsius while GPU was mostly 65 celsius with GPU downclocked from 1010MHz to 900MHz. FPS 50-60. After I unticked MLAA, got the scalling to 400%, FPS got a stable 60 (V-sync enabled). Now the GPU runs at stock 1010MHz with same 65 celsius temp and it's fully utilized but the G4400 is like 40-60% utilized and running at 35-37 celsius. The monitor is 1680x1050 (16:10), very close to full HD, but now atleast it's a big change. Didn't know that MLAA could use up so much CPU power. *Thank you!*

If you open Steam and click library, then right click ETS2 and select to boot in DX11(experimental) this will lift your FPS quite a lot allowing higher graphics settings in the game, saves messing around altering config files if you're not too confident changing files around.

I would really love to try out this Naturalux mod but my goodness is it near impossible to download the damn files that are NOT corrupted. I've been trying for a few days now and it's just not working. The discussions on their forum have all ran into the same issue, even after trying their potential fixes. A real shame if it's been this long and still no fix

[@IrishKenBlock43]

Same here and after the fiasco of just getting to the download section - signing up for multiple forums and playing guess the answer - you get timed out after a few minutes, log this on said forum you are made sign up for to be told by the mod author that its your IP changing even after multiple potential users have reported the same problem. There is post on the forum reporting this back as far as last year! Look I understand the mod author is under no obligation to do anything we users are asking but for god sake talk about creating problems for no reason.

[@TheBullethead1988]

@@IrishKenBlock43 After much perseverance, I was finally able to download all the files. I did follow most of the 'fixes' that the author outlined in the forum but then I went back to just simply clicking that download button over and over again until I had a file size that matches over 1GB. The main thing I did this time was just clearing out the browser cache. It will eventually download a non-corrupt file, you just need to persevere. But yes, completely agree... this is the most problematic mod to download ever!

[@IrishKenBlock43]

@@TheBullethead1988 I'd also followed the steps and cleared cache without any joy last night. Have just tried it again now after re-clearing the cache and it is looking more promising - getting past about 175MB without timing out. The only other variable I have changed is that rather than trying to overwrite the old file I have deleted it in file explorer before starting the download process (although I'm sure I tried this the other night). Or else the forum with the DL has finally fixed their issue. Thanks for letting me know your persistence prevailed! I had given up on it tbh!

[@Tortuosit]

I changed some shadow size in the config file from 4096 to 256.Shadows are crappy. BUT this allowed for a lot. I play with 400% and ultra mirror distance on 40 to 60 FPS. Mostly 60. On a core i7 2600k, AMD equivalent of a gtx 1060. Before, but I think it may have played in 32bit as I did not force it to 64, even at 100% and lower, which looks crappy AF, there were framerates around 25. I have AA turned on but I think it's broken, jaggies on the steering wheel. I think if it would work indeed it would kill FPS. Then I'll turn it off because 400% is decent.

[@t-90ashtora-16]

Its 400% now but graphics are still bad, they need sharpness

[@theblitz1687]

The reason you see blurry at %125 scaling is anti-aliasing. If you are going to use high scaling, it will remove jagged lines anyway, so just close the anti aliasing. %100 render scaling will have the highest quality-performance combo. What higher scaling does is a very expensive anti-aliasing and further render distance(at higher scaling trees and signs in the distance will render in a higher quality version. Observed at %100 vs %300). But if you are going to use a heavy headlight mod for ai traffic and have a much denser traffic along with increased traffic visibility distance, the performance loss from scaling isnt worth it. I played in a machine with 2080ti and 4.6ghz 9700k with 2k 144hz screen. With the mods i mentioned %200-%300 was good as %400 i think was lower than 60fps.

[@2CVSUPERGT]

Thanks for share your recomandation ! Another simple tips wich is good for 4K monitors, I can't tell if it's significant enough for 1080P monitors: Go to into your document file, "Euro Truck Simulator" or "American Truck Simulator" then open "Config" file Set "uset r_sun_shadow_texture_size" to this : uset r_sun_shadow_texture_size "8192" You'll get less alliasing on shadows. Definitely a must to have for me ! Set "uset r_mirror_view_distance" to this : uset r_mirror_view_distance "900" You'll go the best distance view for your mirrors. But Ultra setting still looks pretty good.

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

Oooh those are some advanced parameters built for power PCs right there. Thanks for sharing!

[@Tortuosit]

I went the opposite way, decreased shadow size, which I think helped FPS a lot and then allows for other beauty settings like 400%. I use ultra mirrors. Worth a lot for me, because I really hate objects popping in and out in my mirrors. Will need to compare said shadow setting again...

I'd thinks that what SCS should've given for ten years old amazing game to evolved into that. As I know there'll be no Euro Truck simulator 3. But that doesn't stop there for Euro truck Simulator 2! That what makes the game is an amazing game

been looking for some graphics settings in ets2 for my gtx 1650. and ppl said i can get 90-102fps if i put everything to ultra and scaling to 100% and disabling anti-aliasing. and well.. before i got 40-54fps after putting everything to ultra (including scaling and putting it to 400% scaling). now i put it on 100% scaling.. and well i got good image quality and fps :) thanks!

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

Awesome. Enjoy!

[@einpercy825]

Great Video. My low End Pc with Rx 570 8GB can easily handle 400% and everything set to Ultra (including Mirrors). I get constant 50+ fps. Luckily you do not need that powerful of a Pc to handle this game ^^

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

Oh that's great! Yes especially without mods, it's not a picky game at all.

[@ajax9455]

How is it possible ? Can you explain what settings did you use ?

[@dxgamingofficial488]

Nice reflection

[@Tortuosit]

The Naturalux comparison is an eye opener. Looks like I need to butcher some more FPS and try it 😉

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

Haha yes! Well worth the effort of installing it.

[@Tortuosit]

@@TheClumsyGeekGaming I just closed my eyes here again. Registration on 2 (or more? 1000?) fora, WTF.

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

@@Tortuosit haha yes. The downloading / installation turns off a lot of people. But if you manage to get through it, the rewards are worth it imo.

[@Tortuosit]

@@TheClumsyGeekGaming Trying it again. So it was 2 forum registrations. Download runs fine, yay...

[@Tortuosit]

It is lovely, it runs great, maybe regular fps drops, but: it's pretty bright

Thanks

Well, that´s certainly for highspec rigs... the statement "the other settings don´t do too much performnce wise" is only true if your rig is made for max-settings or near that... stuff like shadow quality and quite a few others can make a huge difference for little changes in quality on medium and low rigs... and I betcha, many people who are watching videos like this want to know exactly that: which setting does what for how much performance impact :)

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

Fair point, but I would start with the settings I go through as those are the "big blocks". If you're in a tweaking mood you can always minmax the other settings, but for a beginner the biggest impact settings should be enough to start with. 👍

[@gamerbeast7441]

Damn your pc is a beast!!! I really enjoyed the video!!! But lemme tell u something strange when I play ETS2 so actually when I initially bought and played ETS2, I had no issues whatsoever even with ultra graphics and it was really smooth gameplay... However my friends who weren't able to buy the game asked me if they could create separate profiles and I allowed them to, and BANG, from then every time I launched the game it used to work perfectly but after 3-5 mins it just crashes and gone!!! I had to relaunch the game and it wouldn't even save my progress, and also this used to happen even when I lowered my graphics to medium I mean I was shocked!! But later when I deleted all profiles and just started a new one no lags, no crashes at all!!! And seriously it worked!! I don't know what logic is this but man if you have any idea pls tell!!

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

Hmm yeah that's sounds weird! I have plenty of profiles but they don't negatively impact each other. You might need to consult scs with that one.

[@gamerbeast7441]

@@TheClumsyGeekGaming Yep I did, they just said to update graphic driver, but then now that I only have one profile it's fine for me, but thanks a lot for your reply man it really means a lot!!

Just looked at your pc specs, got a few notes: - Haven't you run out of space on your drives yet? Seems like a rather low amount. Then again, I'm managing a 120GB SSD myself and barely ever have to use the HDD I have 😄 - I feel like upgrading your motherboard might be a good idea. If you're in the EU, I heard the MSI B450 Mortar Max is really good. - Could get some better RAM. I find that GSkill has better frequencies and latency than Corsair at a better price. So maybe TridentZ Neo 3600 MHz C16. Even 32 GB is rather affordable if you're running a R7. - Maybe also mention PSU? Can't be cheaping out on it 😉

[@TheClumsyGeekGaming]

It's working fine for now, but yes if some of those give out, it'll be the perfect time to replace them. Thanks for the tips 👍.
