Unable to start the game with promods

[l3schi]

Hello I'm having the issue not being able to run the game, having all the files in my mod-file which are listed in the "download tutorial" above.
My current version is 1.30


My mod-file looks like this (I'd like to add rusmap, and only rusmap, I have all 3 official map DLC's).
The winRAR file is still packed, as it says so in the tutorial that it doesn't need to be unpacked.


When I start the game,activated all mods I see and load my savefile, the loadingbar doesnt move, and I need to alt+tab, taskmngr and kill the process.
Same when I start a new profile ingame.,,
What in the world am I again doing wrong, I'd be happy if someone has an idea x.x

Thank you awesome community in advance

Don't kill the process, just wait longer. Patience!

Agreed, you'll have to wait for quite some time. Just to put it into perspective, l3schi: on my rig (i5-4690 CPU, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 970 VGA), it took about ~5-6 minutes to load ProMods the first time it was installed and activated for ETS2. Currently, with Jazzycat AI mod packs added beside it, it usually loads in 2-3 minutes. ProMods is a huge project by itself, and loading times may even extend further if you install additional mods next to it.

It surprises me that in your screenshot the def file appears as a WinRAR file while the others show as SCS files, it shows to me that your Windows File Extension settings are set to "hidden" and the def file has an incorrect filename.

Guys, thanks for the thoughts, I replaced the daf file so it's the SCS one, added rusmap and yes, it took 5 minutes to load....guess I should be more patient....
Have a good one!$
