ETS2 lagging on a good PC

Hi,

Recently, i noticed some lags when entering any city, not sure whats the fps is but i can definitely feel the lag. My graphic setting is set on High. I'm not really sure when this starts to lag but before this it is lag free. I didn't have any mods enabled, but i have most of the DLC's installed.

My specs:
i7-6700k, 16gb ddr4, gtx1080.

Is anyone out there having the same problem? Or is there anything to do with the updates?

get and install MSI Afterburner and the riva tuner that comes with it . set it up and youll be able to see the frame drops And see if anything else is causing issues ie : page file / memory / ssd-hdd slow downs etc etc . also helps if you dont have the scaling cranked super high in game options . this game still needs a lot of optimization since the recent updates . also make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date too .

You really shouldn't have noticable lag with those specs.

I have a i5-7500 and GTX 1060 and don't have those issues playing on Ultra with 400% scaling.

Make sure you NEVER optimise the game with Geforce Experience. It's known to cause issues.

Some issue. I got lags 30-40 fps on geforce gtx 970.everywhere
Vsync not help.
I7-950, geforce gtx 970, 16gb ram.
I playing ETS 2, 4 years, no lags before.

Hi, if you wish to see FPS ingame as you drive, then click on steam top left, then settings, ingame from dropdown menu and activate the fps box, place it in any corner, btw, high contrast colour gives a green fps rate, Malc.

Will do as suggested. My scaling is set to 125%. Im pretty sure that my setting is reasonable.

Yes i never did the optimization with Geforce. Does reinstalling the game helps? Coz other demanding game i played didn’t show any kind of lag..

but 30-40 fps isnt consider a lag right? the kind of lag i encounter is very noticeable where you can see that traffic doesnt move smoothly as it should be, that kind of stuff..

To me the problems begin with the 1.33 upgrade. Before it was butter smooth. I downgraded to 1.32 and it was smooth again. Tested with and without mods, old and new player profile, but the problem is the 1.33 upgrade. I noticed A lot of people is having problems with the game not starting with 1.33, and a few like you and me, with performance problems.

I wished SCS recognized the problems.

Do you have scaling turned on? I'm running a 5930K, 1080Ti and 32GB of RAM with the game running at 3440x1440 with 300% scaling and it's fine.
I do get the occasional drop in Italy (a lot of assets to load I think), but that is literally the only slow down I ever get (and it is only at one section of the highway).

As said it should run fine on your system. But take a look at your fps during the situations when it's lagging. You can also activate a fps counter in the Steam overlay. The more it shows, the better, but you should take a look if the rate is stable or jumps e.g. from 80 to 40 and then back. If it is stable and you still see lags in the game, then it's not an fps issue. Also make sure when you are testing it that no mods are running, as of course they also may cause frame drops or lags.

"Lagging" can also be when you either are not using Vsync in the game, or you have not activated Gsync (as you have a GTX 1080 Freesync is not available), or in the last case if your framerate gets higher than the refreshrate of the monitor. Normally this is tearing in such a case, but many people concider this phenomenon as lagging.
