Stutter lag

[Treece]

Hello
Recently I have bought a racing wheel just to play this game and I have been getting really bad lags.
The game starts normal, floating around 50fps and then it slows down to 30 in about 5 to 10 mins after. Then about 15min in, the game just stutters at 15 fps with sudden jumps to 30 or 50 fps, becoming unplayable.

Looking at the specs, my computer should be able to run this all on the highest setting possible so I have no idea how to fix this.
I have verified the integrity of the files, uninstalled it and reinstalled it, disabled all mods, even found somewhere that I should limit the max frame but none has worked.

Please, if you could help me, I would be forever in your gratitude.

sounds liek your GPU/CPU is getting to hot. Check your temps.

I had a a gander using MSI Dragon Center and apparently my GPU usage is 99%.
Is there a way to lower that?
If my computer says it be able to run it on highest settings optimally , then why is it using so much of the GPU?

have you got all the latest divers?

[Treece]

Ah, yes, of course.

Please post the specs of your computer, as well as the resolution and graphics settings that you're running the game at.

I had been running the game all on ultra settings and the system settings also recommend Ultra.

Intel i7-9750H @ 2.60GHz
16G RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Go into ETS2 > Options > Graphics > Advanced settings and start with what's posted below.

Turn mirror quality to - Medium.
Turn off - Ambient Occlusion or lower that to Medium.

You've not mentioned screen res. Make sure to run ets2 in "FullScreen" mode.
Also, do not trust GFE(Gforce Experience) to set Graphics options for you, do them yourself.

Mirror distance turn it from ultra to high. It does wonders.

I've tried that and it starts at 120 fps and drops to 25 fps after about 5 mins.

My system is very similar to yours..I'm running everything max and 400 % scaling...144mhz monitor..frame limiter at 143...you should disable HDR and Gaming Mode in Windows 10 just to be sure. My GPU rarely gets past 60 % and runs quite cool with these settings...something is causing it to work wayy too hard.

Ok...slight correction...I just tested it...GPU is at 100% usage...between 60-67 degrees.
CPU is about 20-30 % usage. I suspect your GPU might be running a bit hot..which will cause all kinds of lags etc. hope this helps in any way.

May I ask you something? You have RTX 2060 and have stable 143 FPS with 400 scalling on ultra?

I noticed this after all the recent updates. A mate of mine, that is a computer engineer, said he thinks it might be Steam data gathering. And I think he may be right. After a while, it stops. and it only seems to be bad, at the start of the game. I have checked my computer, when it starts and all is normal. It did not happen before the updates. However, there could be an issue with graphic card compatibility. Lets hope the devs have a look and let us know how it can be fixed

60-67 C is not hot for a modern GPU tho.

It's an RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU..I have the frame limiter set to 143fps...I am getting a steady frame rate between 60-100 fps with 80 ish being the average in most areas.
