Its a game I can put down and not play for weeks. Then when I return, I think to myself, why did I put it down.
Then a few weeks later I go and repeat the whole process again. Its odd, but great games can be like that and ETS2 is a great game.

Its time to pick it up again

I have yeah, haven't been to the new cities yet. The new button sounds are nice at least. As well all the new mods that work on 1.19.

Reinstalled this last night.

What mods do I need? I'd like real world trailer skins too, is there a big pack?

Also the graphics look a bit worse than I remember, any go to NVidia settings/in game settings?

And I need to try and remember how I get my own trailer skin back in the game.

truck on

I crave to play again but as i'm using promods i can't resume my save without updating it which means I have to buy the Scandinavian DLC

. Will have to wait till a sale.

Yeah i'm looking to get it cheapish, I picked up the first part (going east) for £2 on ebay the other day.

Does promods require a fresh save?

Yeah should do, it's been a long time since I used it and i've never used any other map mods so always just wait for next version of ProMods, just unfortunate that the new version requires Scandinavia. I guess for all the great assets.

Any ideas on cheapest place to get the DLC anyone?

Looks like you may be right.

Only problem with using your main save is that it may break that profile's ability to do achievements on, it also may cause save file corruption and you will have to revert back

But no a fresh save isn't 'required'

This game never ceases to amaze me, its like an old dog, just stays loyal. Is the US version out yet ?
Haven't played for a long, long time.

I was thinking how nice it would be to get out the truck in this and maybe drive some of the cars

Guys, running ETS 2 and after 5 to 10 mins the game grinds to a halt. I am presuming it is my laptop? Here is the spec:

Intel Quad Core 2.58GHz
4GB DDR3 Ram
256GB DDRS
Intel HD Graphics

I think it is the graphics. The underside of the lappy gets very hot.

Here is a screenshot from MSI Afterburner. GPU looks terrible? Graph went right down to bottom of line!!!!

Found the problem

try updating the drivers for your Intel HD driver if thats the primary gpu you use

koolpc · 1 Sep 2015 at 20:58

Intel HD is pants. I know its a laptop but i was thinking of buying a laptop with better spec anyway.

This spec looks guys:

Intel i7 Quad CPU 2.50GHz 6MB
8GB DDR3 Ram
256GB SSD
Nvidia GTX 960M 2.0GB DDR5 Direct x12

Thing is space is at a premium. Plus i am more comfortable at the kitchen table than anywhere in the house! I did think about a Mini ITX system. It would have to be very small with the TFT on the wall. Not sure though. This case looks nice but not sure on spec to game with it as the PSU would be a tiny one:

Laptop seems the best at the moment but i know they can get very toasty underneath because my one does but, it has no vents on the bottom.
