Lagging no matter what graphic settings

[Alex]

I have a i7, 32 gb of ram and a rtx 3060 on windows 11, no matter what my graphics settings are set at i get lag in the cities, usually around 45 frames but always run over 60 outside of the cities. Any ideas?

Any mods running and or apps in the background?

Dense environments are just harder to run in this game. It makes a big impact to game performance. The game isn't super optimized and runs a lot of the game on one CPU thread so it makes single core performance a major bottleneck.

If your truck has hood mirrors, just remove them. They just make the game run worse and don't help much.

i7 what ?

[chickenkiller]

cities or no cities i get rubberbanding and stuttering

It is ALWAYS down to your settings in the game and your system. I get a constant 60 fps on my modest Ryzen5 2600/16 Gb RAM/RTX 3060 12 Gb VRAM and all GFX settings on high with SSAO on. I have all the map DLC, all the other DLC and at no time have I experienced lagging, stuttering in cities or rubber-banding of any sort.
I would imagine, given I have been in these forums since the game was released, that the relatively low number of complaints about this, that if it WAS the game, there would be a tsunami of posts like this every day. There simply aren't.

Why not try capping the frame rate @ 40 fps?
The game absolutely does not need to run at a frame rate higher than 30 fps, it isn't Call of Duty or any kind of highly paced shooter. As long as the fps is consistent and the gameplay is smooth, that is all that is needed for a great gaming experience.
High-end GFX cards are great, but they can still be configured wrongly and be unable to deliver what is expected.

Even with them disabled gameplay/fps is the same

What resolution do you play at?

There's simply no way that you'are telling the truth. 3060 simply is not enoug to run this game at maximum posible settings and to not have any lag or casual stuttering here and there. Simply not posible, even if you playing at 1080p resolution.

EDIT: 30 FPS maybe is enough, but with that low framerate you could have hard time to read singposts/ road sings.

Nonsense, many people do...this game is not graphically challenging to even a modest system.

Absolute nonsense.
I run a modest Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 3060 12 Gb and I get 60fps in ATS and ETS2, without the slightest sign of lag, stuttering or any other problems, in any part of all the map DLC with high/ultra settings, SSAO turned on and scaling turned up. I monitor the fps with Riva Statistics Tuner on all the time, any errors would show up even if I didn't notice them.
If you get any problems like those with a 3060, your problems are not with the GFX card, but your PC and settings.
You'd need a modern AAA game played @4K and ultra detail, plus ray-tracing to slow an RTX 3060 down. Get real.

Here is something you may wanna try. You don't have to? But it worked for me.
My modest system: Ryzen5, 16gb ram, gtx 1650 @ 1440p
I had everything at high or ultra, 300% scaling. Game looked good but stuttered when turning corners and other laggy bits.
Then a few weeks ago I saw this at SCS Forums:
https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=323193

Immediately, I could run scaling at 100%, disabled SSAO, SMAA, and the game looks amazing. Dashboard is just as sharp and clear at 100% as it was previously with 300%, in fact probably better.
It's a .dll that's placed in the game directory. The author, snowymoon updates the file within hours (sometimes minutes) of game updates.
It is, for me, literally a game changer. It might be for you too.

Read again. Without some stutters no way. I dont say it is unplayable, yes it is, but with spice of some stuttering.

Hahah i just let you enjoying your dreams. But for thr record, you obviously dont know what stuttering actually is, or you are not telling the truth.
