@wasnhierlos this was the traffic mod that I alluded to on that May 16 post that I did: "More realistic traffic" by un.nahbar

@wasnhierlos funny enough after that last post of mine, I ended up uninstalling that other traffic mod and switched full time back to in-game g_traffic which I set to 3.85 for a perfect balance of surface road, freeway, backroad, country road and opposing road/lane traffic amount. I do not do overnight driving between 9pm and 5am so I'm not sure how setting g_traffic that high affects night time traffic volume.

I'm so over these traffic mods at the moment due to the inconsistent performance issues that I have been having with them since 1.54 was released.

@EggTBD What traffic mod use you ?
EggTBD May 16 @ 1:51pm 
@Tryypz I uninstalled this mod and regained previous performance...easy. I switched to a different traffic density mod and that one works just fine.
Azuirele May 16 @ 11:15am 
@Tryypz There have been some reports of performance dropping in v1.54 in both ETS2 and ATS. Perhap it might not come from this mod, I'm getting even more stuttering than usual as well in 1.54

Rx7700xt 2k - 40-120 fps on ultra with this mod) Mostly more than 80 fps
Tryypz May 15 @ 7:47pm 
adding on to my comment, my 3070 ti goes from 90-100 fps on ultra to 40 fps with this mod. It's not acceptable honestly.. That's a huge performance drop, and not worth the minimal gain.
Tryypz May 15 @ 7:43pm 
Something is off with this mod, the FPS drops even on my 3070 ti is ridiculous. Cant say ill continue using it.

This mod was heavy on my CPU and or Memory even before 1.54. It seems to be worsen when traveling in Missouri.
Cipus  [author] May 1 @ 3:53am 
no idea @legonair, I play on 1.49 and works very well. I did not change anything in my mod ever since so must be something SCS have done :steammocking::steambored:
legonair Apr 30 @ 2:04pm 
Cipus this mod is heavy on my CPU and or memory is there something I can change to make it less heavy on the CPU and or memory? I would hate to stop using this mod the roads feel empty without it.

"Read" became an offensive word lately...
Raffi_M Apr 26 @ 3:11am 
@starky [ FR ]:
You need to read the description. It definitely says that you need to add the motorcycle pack seperately. He never claimed once that he adds motorcycles.
starky [ FR ] Apr 26 @ 1:52am 
You sell dreams to have the maximum download you say that you have added motorcycles in the traffic there is no motorcycle it is a scam your mod you just increased the density of traffic via the config file thing that can be done ourselves.:steamthumbsdown:
Romarus Apr 24 @ 2:24am 
Strangely, I tried it again today and the game no longer crashes.:steamhappy: Everything seems to be working.
I also applied the launch options recommended. I also have 32GB of RAM. Let's see what happens.
Raffi_M Apr 23 @ 7:17am 
@John Peterson:
I'm glad I can help somebody with that information! :csdsmile:

@Cipus:
Thank you for the mod by the way. Using it since I've discovered it and it makes the world much more alive. Keep up the great work. :104:
Btw, maybe you should include the load order problem somewhere so people know about that from the beginning.
John Peterson Apr 23 @ 7:04am 
@Raffi_M thanks man I have the same problem and now it's resolved
Raffi_M Apr 23 @ 6:28am 
@Romarus:
I don't know if you use Realistic Train Lengths . If you do be sure to put it below this mod. The game crashed for me when I had it sorted the other way.
Romarus Apr 23 @ 6:15am 
"can't load savegame" - i mean the game is out to dekstop when loading process.
Romarus Apr 23 @ 6:15am 
I can't load my savegame with your mod. I think the problem is compatibility with Jazzycat's Ai traffic. Isn't it? Another reason could be, that before it i use More realistic traffic https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3423331725
But of cource i have disabled that mod before enabling your. No more mod with traffic i don't have.
So is your mod compatible with jazzycat traffic?
Gatwick Apr 20 @ 2:00pm 
Got to agree with the comment down below, this mod started eating ram as crazy and has an influence of constant fps drops.
EggTBD Apr 17 @ 1:14pm 
Something off about using the updated mod. It tanks FPS in certain places where it would not do that before (for both my 1660ti and 3050). This lends credence to what the other traffic modder's suspicion that SCS may have tweaked traffic generation in-game natively. In the meantime, I am refraining from using any traffic generation mods and instead will switch back to using g_traffic 5.0 and above...which does not tank my FPS on my 1660ti and 3050.

@SwippyOG
I think the only collateral effect is that you'll have a higher chance of seeing an accident if the time of day has more traffic, for obvious reasons. But like @legonair posted, they happen in vanilla game too.
legonair Apr 17 @ 9:19am 
@SwippyOG I don't think Cips mod is the reason for those accidents because I have encountered a lot of them even without this mod.
SwippyOG Apr 16 @ 9:21pm 
Good mod thank you Cipus!
Only thing I've noticed is that the AI be causing a lot of accidents on the road.
CraZy leGGs Apr 16 @ 11:48am 
@Cipus, placebo it is then.
Cipus  [author] Apr 16 @ 11:39am 
no they did not, I checked the game files for 1.54
CraZy leGGs Apr 16 @ 10:50am 
Is it me or did SCS tweak traffic density?

I noticed increased/decreased traffic flow very similar to this mod while waiting on this update.
Cipus  [author] Apr 16 @ 10:22am 
Brett you must have mod conflict, or you play with higher g_traffic value (default is 1 don't change this)
Brett Orsborn Apr 16 @ 8:47am 
Im not noticing any traffic changes defending on time. Like Rush hour 7-9am is the exact same traffic as 1pm in most places
mauhansen Apr 16 @ 4:08am 
ok
legonair Apr 15 @ 4:17pm 
@mauhansen Make sure you have the 1.54 version of this mod sometimes the mod manager doesn't update when a new version is released on Steam Workshop. I just played ATS with this mod without any problems.
mauhansen Apr 15 @ 2:49pm 
not works in 1.54 more
Cipus  [author] Apr 9 @ 3:12pm 
thanks CDMC, I updated the description (I play 1.49 so I still take advantage of these rules which helps with large textures :steamhappy:
CDMC Apr 9 @ 2:57pm 
@Cipus, you wanna update description -mm_max_resource_size was dropped from the game in 1.50. I double checked the EXE and its not there. That command doesn't do anything. Great mod btw, good job!
AedraCaitiff Apr 9 @ 8:53am 
At four o'clock in the morning, the traffic is the same as at 5 p.m. Oh yes, that's realistic.
welcome_to_the_machine Apr 9 @ 6:24am 
@Cipus thanks for this mod! i appreciate the hard work you do keeping this updated! rock on!:steamhappy:
Legendkiller456 Apr 8 @ 3:48pm 
Not an issue with this mod. Just how SCS does it. An invisible barrier comes down before the actual crossing bars.
legonair Apr 8 @ 6:02am 
I have had that once but I don't think it is because of this mod as far as I know Cip hasn't touched the trains.
Romich Apr 8 @ 2:42am 
Does anyone have any problems with railway crossings? (1,54)
as soon as the traffic light blinks, you're already stuck in an invisible wall (barrier collision)
Dark & Realistic™ Nessie Apr 7 @ 4:29am 
@Cipus, thanks for the update!
J.Random Apr 6 @ 9:16pm 
Yup, looks all good and fixed. Thanks, cip.
BirdY Apr 6 @ 11:25am 
Thank you Mr Cipus :):steamhappy:
sunnysmily3 Apr 6 @ 10:54am 
Thanks cip
legonair Apr 6 @ 7:48am 
@PepuroniPeetsa are you sure you have the 1.54 version of this mod? I ask because I just did some deliveris with this mod without crashes and I'm on ATS 1.54+
PepuroniPeetsa Apr 6 @ 7:37am 
Crashing on 1.54.
David Apr 6 @ 3:00am 
You are awesome Cipus
Cipus  [author] Apr 6 @ 12:49am 
I tested myself in 1.54 and both my Steam mods for ATS work well with no errors in the gamelog :steamhappy:
