Goodbye Promods ???

[Quackers, L/S,RP1,RN.(U.K.)]

Well i have tried most things, deleted mods and reloaded one by one and my game runs smoothly WITHOUT PROMODS, i have uninstalled the game and steam several times all to no avail, when i load PM my game just crashes, such a shame as i do like the extra countries plus the enhanced existing ones PM brings to the game, also the reminders on screen when you pass into a new country or region. I shall await the next game update and try again but if it's the same then "goodbye promods".

So.... who here should care?
That PM is using more ressources and therefore needs more "Power" is the case since.... forever.

If your game crashes with it then the problem is probably not PM alone.

That's why I stopped using the unoptimised buggy mess many years ago when they released a build with 10 billion invisible walls through out Germany.

Be nice...he was just expressing his experience. I have recently gone to Vanilla as well...not saying mods are bad (some are excellent) and ProMods has some very good features...but for me...everything Vanilla runs great.

when i run the game i get this weird rubberbanding effect where the fps slows down and then the game catches up. is this a promods issue?

[Rivaldman]

For me I would only give up the promods if my pc can't handle it. To prove this, I will lower my graphics settings to see if it can run.

If it still crashes after that, it means something's wrong with the configuration (inside or outside the game). And that can be fixed.

@OP, you seem to often have issues with Promods and/or Jazzycat's mods, could it be that it's an issue on your end?

Have you been to the Promods discord or their website for help?
Are you sure the issues are caused by Promods?
Is your load order correct/Do you have all files?
Load Order:
ME Def/Map
ME Assets
Def
Map
Models 1
Models 2
Models 3
Media
Assets

And lastly, you know the drill, having crashes and can't solve them, post your game.log.

The current version of Promods works fine on it's own plus ME, it can get problematic when adding other maps and road connections.

is it when using the World Map the game crashes? If so, try the Zoom Crash Fix mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2701258039

ProMods has become so big and detailed that the World Map have difficulties handing that amount of objects, especially if other maps are installed as well. This fix somehow reduces the resolution of the World Map. It is less detailed but at least it works (if the crashes is not because of other reasons of course).

I think only SCS can make the World Map handle more objects but will probably not fix it until their own map DLCs get too much.

EDIT: For a list of maps compatible with ProMods) and their load order, see this post from the PM forum: https://promods.net/viewtopic.php?t=29618. Maybe you are using an incompatible map.

Make sure all you maps are updated to the the game version you are using (current game version is 1.47 and ProMods 2.65).

i never have any problems with promods and i run a gtx 1060 6gb card and i run the game at high

@op:
No matter how many times you reinstall the game over and over again, it won't make your hardware any faster. And the crashes can have literally a thousand reasons, where PM would be just one of it, and not the most probable one.

Since you didn't share any useful information about your rig, your settings, your load order and so on, and no log on pastebin, you are on your own. Good luck.

It's such a shame SCS never issued us with crystal balls or mind-reading powers when we bought the game. It would make life so much easier...

Well... for me Promods runs flawless so it must be something on your end.

How about you tell us a bit more about your System?
Steam - Help - Systeminformation , copy/paste the info here

[Spikee1975]

Of course the scenery is more detailed in ProMods - so it needs more power. Runs fine on my end. Remember it's totally for free! Incredible work they've done.

Hi, I am downloading the promod and just wondering, when ETS2 is updated to 1.48, do you have to redownload promods?

A simple yes, from 1.47 to 1.48 it would be a major update, the promods will need an upgrade too for every major game update.

[Dem1970]

Thanks Rival, therefore I guess a lot of players don't update the ETS2 in Steam and keep playing a previous version since this could be a lot of installing of downloads. Whoa thats what I thought, thanks

I was also thinking, If I create another profile for the game, will it play the vanilla version or promods? I know it sounds stupid and I can just try it but I thought I would ask.
thanks again for answering questions from me.
