Wierd Reflection on trucks and AI vehicles

[370370370370]

I have over 300 hours on this game and I have never seen this before...
It is like a multicolour reflection covering the paint and chrome of EVERY vehicle ingame. It is nothing to do with mods because I removed all of them and tried to restart and it did not fix this, I have uninstalled the game twice now, checked for graphics updates three times and checked my drivers for updates, all are up to date. My computer is not a full on gaming pc as I cannot afford it but I have played this game for 2 years on this laptop with no problem on low graphics...

Specs - Acer Swift 3
Windows 10 Home 64 bit
Processor - Intel Core i3-7th Gen @ 2.40GHz
Graphics - Intel HD 620 (I know its bad but it works)

Just to add, this was not a problem before the 1.31 update... The pictures you see are with no mods

man this is happening to me too..what is the cause of this,idk really..

[Djuri]

always when i change resolution or something in options,it fixes,but it comes back sometimes..

When I change the graphics to ultra it doesn't show as much, but that slows my game down so much... I have made a new profile and I'm slowly adding mods in one by one to see if it is maybe a mod conflict...

for me it helped to set my scale higher.

no mods, but they were removed, or never been there? My idea is to try clean profile. Just to check if it appears. If it does, it must be something that has changed in game. You can remove config.cfg then, game will create default one - it will reset all your settings, however, might help.
If it won't happen on newly created profile without any mods, then it is mod, or post-mod issue. Try different truck, sell one and buy new one, or check on quick jobs. Try to check, if it is general, or truck related.

yes man,when i change scale to 50 it always vanish hahah..but when you lower the settings,it comes again that rainbow reflection,but just for me idk for you guys

You're describing a mipmap issue. This happens to textures that don't have proper mipmaps. It's normally a mod texture issue rather than a stock game bug.

Try what xyzan says with a brand new profile. Profiles that have had mods in the past are not truly clean, mods do leave traces in the save file.

Changing scaling did not help the problem
I uninstalled ETS and reinstalled it, started a clean game without mods and added them back bit by bit and the problem seems to be gone, I think it may have been a porsche mod I had that wasn't compatible with 1.31 (although it said it was).
Anyway I'll keep my hopes up that it still works! Thanks so much to everyone!!

man np (i didnt helped anything but ok xd)..it was the same for me 20 minutes before..fcn mods xd

This has happened me too. So the only fix is to start all over again with a new profile? The weird reflection for me only happens with lights on when I come close to a vehicle in front of me.

I would download the Intel drivers for the 620 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/96551/Intel-HD-Graphics-620 just in case Win10 update has overwritten them with its own version of events ;) and try that.

[Jodydoc]

I reread the posts and looked at the photos it's a different problem I have. When I come close vehicles or signs with headlights on its a weird blurry bloom effect I get..goes away with full beam but I obviously don't fancy driving around with fulls on. Just annoying I can't drive in the dark and listen to the rain and contemplate on life lmao

It's possible also that one or more mods in the mod folder (or even WS mods) even if they aren't activated are causing problems. I had this same/similar issue with trucks/trailers recently and discovered that removing the "/material/environment" in the relevant mod resolved the issue.
Modders sometimes think "my generic reflections are better than SCS" and include theirs in their mod, with the same name as the default files, which can cause the anomaly pictured in the OP.
Depending on which files are overridden it could be glass, chrome, paint, etc.
I do use a fair few mods and everytime I download on I check for the environment folder and remove it. Since doing this I do not see the "colour glitch" anymore.

Thanks guys. It turned out to be the greeny coloured off road construction lights. I replaced and all is fine now. Thanks :)
