ETS2 slows down SO MUCH
My ETS2 slows down so much that I just can't play. I don`t know what to do. I played for half a year and everything was fine. And I want to play ets2. I start the game. 10min everything was fine. and 10min ago the game slowed down a lot. I opened task manager. GPU loaded at 100%. And in 3 minutes it heated up from 40 to 65 degrees Celsius. Everything was OK before that.
P.S
my computer must support this game.
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
CPU: Intel core i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30Hz
Memory: 8GB

PLS HELP ME

@OP: Do you use mods?
Do you have other programs running in the background while you play the game?
Are you playing on a laptop or on a desktop PC?

Turn down your graphic settings to medium and deactivate SSAO.

Post your hardware specs if you don't want us to just guess.

8Gb RAM isn't a good idea, especially if you run other programs at the same time as ETS2.
Try not to have ANY programs running in the background, especially resource hogs like Discord. Installing 16Gb RAM in dual-channel format will be better.
You can't run a GTX 1060 3Gb at high resolution and ultra graphics, so medium graphics and 1080 would be safer, turn extra mirrors off or reduce the detail and distance shown, and turn off SSAO to make life easier for the GFX card.
You only need a steady 40fps as this isn't a game that needs insane frame rates to shoot anyone, smooth fps is more important. Try locking or capping the frame rate to 40fps, in-game or in the Nvidia control panel.

Download an app called "MSI Afterburner" That programme will let you increase the speed of your fan. An over heated GPU will cause lag. As will certain Mods. Turn down the mirror quality and put the foliage on it's lowest setting. Turn off v-sync.

if his fans already work at max it wont help.....and at least gpu and cpu fans get controlled automatically either way...and 65 degree is not really that much heat on a gpu.....
