Here is the problem to what is happening
Hi when i am in the game driving it sometimes stutters and the game crashes it comes up with a message about not enough memory please click okay to close programme. I press okay but for some reason it still shows up on my task manager and still running on steam, but i have to turn off my computer and turn it back on again because I can't press ctrl alt and delete because it won't work for some reason and i click shut down it just loads and does nothing. Here is my load mod order i am using
Code: Select all
ETS2 [Tool] SASq Horn Boreman LED Marker Lights Pack Legendary "50k-addons TomTomVoicesPack SiSL's Trailer Pack Realistic Headlightining LHD City Lighting TexFix3 Hemils Route Adviser (SiSL Edit) SiSL'S Mega Pack Realistic Rain - By Dark Captain Pro Mods Trailers And Company Pack All Mods pro Mods Middle East Paris Rebuild 2.4 ProMods Emden v1.02c proMods 2.41 All Mods
Should i run the game in opengl 64bit or directx9 or 11 64bit as i am running Windows 10 64bit thanks
i also have firefox running and my memory for ets2 under task manager is a wopping 3,574.4 MB is this supposed to be like this for a game or should i be getting a better ram like 16gb or whatever the highest is. I don't know why this is like this thanks. I also have 8gb of ram but for some reason it only says i have 2.2GB or around that figure.

your game crashes because some mods do not have updated textures for Dx11. you should either remove those mods, either play in Dx9.
other 2 issues I identified in your gamelog:
1. you use an outdated traffic density mod, that's at least from ETS2 1.30 if not even older
I don't say use my mod because I have the best traffic mod, just choose wisely! 90% of Steam traffic mods are bad, believe me I checked many of them and identified many fake descriptions
2. You have a weak CPU, those entries in launch options will not work correctly you should reduce them to get any benefit
3. with only 8 Gb RAM, your game may run out of memory sooner or later. I recommend to use only one mega trailer pack, SiSl or ProMods, not both together.

for number 2 here is what's the difference in your game:

with my settings:

and yes you can tweak any of those settings form the Steam guide, I use also Nvidia inspector with capped 40 FPS and 4xMSAA+4SGSS the only AA that I like for my eyes
and the only reason I don't go for Dx11 where graphics suffer as hell on 1080p screens.

you should use also vsync or frame limiter, I use frame limiter. you don't need more than 60 FPS for this game and better save resources for other needs than waste them on 130 FPS

read this thread on scs forum
https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=244658
just search for some keywords, no need to read all 88 pages
and also, when you play, since you have only 8 Gb, you better close Firefox, if you have few tabs opened, it can eat even 1 Gb of your RAM!!!
