I just started running Promods again this week. I've been getting this line over and over in my game log. It only happens with Promods.

[pml] buffer too small, dropping pml item.

There is no Error or Warning tag in front of it, so i'm wondering if this is something that is/could be game breaking or I don't need to worry about it at all?

It's basically just spam. It means that there's something wrong in some file somewhere in some folder. Now smell it...

Ok, great, i'm perfectly fine just ignoring it :) I may even start tossing some mods back in LOL I had pulled a bunch of mods thinking maybe it was overloading the game.

My experience so far with this error is that it only occurs when I've been driving in Germany so far.
Once I wander off to Belgium or France, the error stops filling the log. It's weird.

Hi, this may be correct, but since flooding the gamelog with these entries it produces a lot of micro stuttering.

Yes indeed, also it might cause a game crash during very long ETS2 sessions due to the limited file size of the game.log. If you haven't enabled endless log that is. So it's our message to our users to do something else and go out into the sun. :lol:
No seriously, we have no idea what to do about it.

game.log reaching its maximum size shouldn't cause a crash, at least it doesn't cause a crash for me. :?

Nope; the log will be truncated in that case...
