If there would be any, we would've mentioned it in the other thread.

I have seen this problem myself since updating to ETS2 1.33, on other map mods like black stretches of road on the 1:1 Heilbronn map when I play it on my mac. Good luck on fixing it!

A little update.

The good news is that we've found the root of the problem and a way to solve it; apparently, all black objects are using a DDS-texture that is slightly not in the correct format. Fortunately, we can fix that with a batch tool, so that's not too much effort, just a lot of patience while the batch tool does its work.

The bad news is that we are talking about 14 000 texture files, totalling a whopping 4.5 GB (uncompressed). This is not easy to redistribute to our users, since the package is so big. But we can at least promise that at the next release of ProMods, this won't be a problem anymore.
