Why Is ATS Stuttering? In Other Words, What Is Scaling?

Here we cover information about Scaling on a basic level. This is an important feature of the SCS games that allows it to be played on less than desirable PCs.
Note these tests were completed on an AMD 5600X processor, an EVGA nvidia RTX 3070, with 32GB of RAM and an M.2 solid state drive.
100% scaling was 246fps in the latest vanilla truck the #InternationalLT, and at 400% scaling was 109fps. This is with very few mods, and none in traffic or used in the video. Add some mods in there with traffic trailers and upgraded textures and you are well on your way to stuttering video.

This game even Stutters with a 3090. Come on SCS, get your shit together

[@KartikPlays]

Call me a Chad who plays vanilla at 25% scaling just for that sweet 21 fps.

[@droogmolen3432]

The game engine is just old

[@loyaltyovermoney5942]

What’s weird is every time I put my scaling lower then 200 I get a rubber band effect so I put on 200 n keep it there n also in my config I put buffer scale 2.2 strange the rubber band effect is gone strange n lag gone even in cities it’s stop lag I teak the hell out this games for months

[@veagan_01]

brilliantly said bro.... i always tell my followers to never exceed 200 scailing because 200 is a sweetspot between quality and performance

[@realbento]

3080 12g here. I'm with a fresh install. No mods, just stock game with 200% scaling (2560x1440 Monitor).. still getting A LOT of stuttering through urban areas. Really, really annoying and thinking about stop playing bcause of this.. this is sad

[@MujoNovak]

Tried everything about graphic 3d settings, hardware accelerated gpu scheduling off, disabling full screen optimization, then steam notification off, disabling animated avatars on steam... but in the end playing "steam-offline" actually helps in my ets2 and ats!

[@cemusictv]

I have a weird problem i have 130 fps on 400% and it works fine but when I start moving the game has like micro stutters but keep the same fps

[@darwindaley5201]

Since 1.50 my game started to lag and stutter. I use both vanilla truck and trailer and paid mods. When I use vanilla truck by using minimal and no mods I get the same experience. I turned the scaling down and still no improvements.

[@DNASocial]

Wow this was super helpful! I genuinely didn't understand that this was how scaling worked and now feel like i understand it fully! I also like your suggestions on what to set our scaling at depending on the number of mods we have. Thanks for another super informative and helpful video!

[@bh1790.]

so what scaling settings would be the best for a low end pc?

[@roger6010]

My game also seems gray ish idk what's up with the vivid colors I've seen in the trailers and screenshots

[@agtech.11]

I have an RTX 3050 laptop and it hasn’t fixed the problems I get with Jagged edges. I run ATS on 1080p does that mean I need 100% scaling?

[@Thatskyzo]

Im super late but this video was honestly done perfectly, new subscriber🤝

[@Dabeast-uu5ki]

Is it just me or does this dude look like he is going to steal the chipmunks.

[@Pommo70]

I’m running an i5 13600k with a 4070ti, 32mb ddr4 and in both 4k and 1440p it’s butter smooth with not a hint of stutter or lag. I’m using Gsync also.

[@eganthetrucker]

Thank you for the info it really helped understanding about 4k graphics

[@b9bot148]

Scaling does some of it but there are other things you can do to help.

[@demetriusstump8654]

My scaling was already at 125%, but I had to change the resolution from 1690, to 1440 and my game is running smoothly and doesn’t stutter then crash after 15 minutes into the game like it use to! Thank you for the info!

[@RizkyAshary]

actually there is another way that I have used to boost fps significantly, reduce the visibility or draw distance map ,while in the cabin truck, it worked 💯
