Hi,

to use multiplayer you have to start it via the launcher.
According to your game.log, you started ETS2 normally via Steam.

Best regards,

Hi bmwGTR,

I start it via the launcher. (I click that small semi-trailer saying Start ETS2 in TruckersMP), and then it shows loading screen/logo from ETS2, then the TrucekrsMP login screen, then the server list, where I can see 2 promods servers to choose from as well as other standard servers.

Shall I try and screen record to prove it?

As a side note, multiplayer never worked for me since it was implemented...

Thanks,
Tom

If Multiplayer never worked for you then I suggest asking in the Truckers MP Forum/Support, since it's not a ProMods Problem, when the regular Servers wont work for you too.
I can only see that you've set something up wrong, since your game path in your log is:

Code: Select all

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\eurotrucks2.exe Files\TruckersMP Launcher\Launcher.exe
Where the correct one should be:

Code: Select all

\TruckersMP Launcher\Launcher.exe

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Standard MP works fine with no ProMods. Only multiplayer with ProMods never worked...

I'll take a look, but when installing TruckersMP, it asks for ETS2 directory, and that's the only option where I can change the game directory settings, unless there's something im not aware of?

Thanks for your help.

EDIT:

Managed to fix the issue. I use non-standard directory for ETS2 mods (not the one in \Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\mod) so the mod directory was empty there (not sure why I cant change TrucekrsMP default mod directory to something else), so I copied my mods from non-standard dir to there, and boom it worked... Strange, as the single player worked just fine with mods in non-standard directory only...

Hi cwieq,

You can use a different home folder for the multiplayer as well.
However, our launcher is not picking Steam launch options and thus, you need to specify these launch options in a shortcut of the multiplayer launcher.

Hello,

Thanks for the heads up! This is probably why it didnt work. I'll give a go with shortcut options and see if that solved the problem without moving mods in between directories.

Thanks,
Tom

That's what I checked long time before I started this topic. It's solved now anyway.
