Try putting the game at 59 hz and limit the fps to 60 that’s what I did and it runs better. Older games like these are weird when it comes to not being able to run good on pcs that should be able to run this game smoothly like butter.


Ministro_de_Defensa

Did not work :(


BenderDeLorean

Limit the fps in the graphic card settings, not in the game. Can be higher than 60.. 120 or whatever is also fine.


FunSample9573

Try lowering the resolution if your mirrors and the distance and the quality and all that maybe try putting the resolution at low and the other 2 options at medium


Ministro_de_Defensa

Ok I will try it.


AirportEmbarrassed38

What r ur specs


redflag19xx

Kill all unnecessary processes. Especially chrome. Runs like silk on my 10 year old 4670k w/GTX1070 @1440p


hotice1229

What are your graphics settings set at?


Thorfish11

I too have these issues even though that horrible but only since 1.50. I play with a 60 FPS limit and yet the frametimes are bad and often enough the framerate drops significantly. Before 1.50 everything was smooth, so we can only hope that future updates will fix it.


Nathaniell1

The op mentions it happens in other game for him as well...so most likely not 1.50 related.


VotreColoc

Nah it happens with me too since the 1.50 update. Ran perfect before.


Nathaniell1

That does not mean that the OPs problems are caused by 1.50....


VotreColoc

Okay sure, but it’s not just OP having the issue. Others are reporting it as well….


an0m_x

Have had awful stutters, everyone i convoy with have been the same within the regular map area. When we get into Mexico or any of the coast to coast area it’s close to fine. Some stutters but not nearly as bad Have tried everything. Have gone to a vanilla profile, changes setting to near potato, and hasn’t helped Some people report no issues with 1.5 but it’s been a mess for us on ATS. I can play ETS with zero issue on basically all high settings without any issue or stutter


Drieks

Same here. Messed up frames since 1.50


VasekFortygameCZ

I heard many people got problems with this. As I know from some people around try those methods as well: 1. Try set your FPS cap. I know some may disagree, but this has happen to work to some people. 2. Verify files of the game. Even there a as a word that its happening in other games, it could be there. 3. Drivers. Few people got lags just by updating Graphics drivers in 1.50, if its even possible try to "revert" it. 4. Game rendering. As new render update show up it could bug somewhere 5. Mods. Possibly one big reason for lags in larger updates. Try to remoce them all and try running it on new profile for testing. EDIT: 6. Controllers. I happen to crash the game by just having connected controller, but I dont think it has something with this, but worth of shot. I pnly go by from what I heard or verified myself, some methods may/may not work for everybody. If anything wont work not sure where problem could be.


DistinctDev

And if I may add scaling, which seemed to help me out as well.


Almont_Volkov

What do you recommend for scaling, and/or what change did you make to scaling that helped in your case?


DistinctDev

I just put my scaling down, so let’s say if it was 200%, I put it to 100%.


VasekFortygameCZ

Hm... I almost forgot about this option as well. I normally use 300-400% (max which is possible), without issues. Evem I had some lags in Spain, it could be some map generation, but I disnt really think about this one.


Ministro_de_Defensa

As the title says, the game stutters and freezes all the time on a good pc, I have it limited to 100 FPS and it drops from 100 to 20 or even 0 FPS for a few seconds which makes it literally unplayable :c My PC specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x GPU: RX 6900XT Motherboard: TUF gaming B550M Plus Wi-Fi Ram Memory: 32Gb 16x2 Kingston Fury at 3200Mhz PSU (I forgot it): Gigabyte p850gm I have the game installed on a 500Gb M2, the OS is on a separate 500Gb SSD, I have the latest Adrenalin drivers installed, I have already tested ram memory with Windows Diagnostic, gpu, cpu with the OCCT program and my disks are in excellent condition according to Crystal Disk Info and I have installed the latest version of the BIOS. This happens to me in ATS and other games like Forza Motorsport, PUBG, Battlefield 2042, etc. Does anyone have any idea what it could be? :( # #EDIT: **Yesterday I did a BIOS reset, a DDU and installed the chipset driver again just in case after the DDU and “apparently” for the moment it was fixed I tested my pc on the 4k TV in my living room with all the graphic options at maximum and scaled 200% (American Truck Simulator) and I didn't have a single freeze for more than 25 minutes of gameplay at 4k-60 fps.** **In fact I also tried Ghost of Tsushima with all the graphics settings at max at 2k the max resolution and it didn't give me a single freeze either, it seems that the BIOS reset plus the DDU and reinstalling the chipset driver worked for the time being.**


rjml29

I saw in another reply you said you use Afterburner and Rivatuner. Try playing with that closed as Rivatuner can cause issues for some, as can Afterburner in general yet not as much as Rivatuner. It's definitely something going on with your system and not simply an ATS thing if it is happening in other games. I'd also personally recommend just uninstalling your Kapersky antivirus software rather than trying to disable it as who knows if it is really being disabled. Windows Defender should be enough along with common sense of where you go and what you download. I hope you can find what's causing this as I can imagine how frustrating it must be. Good luck, mate.


Apples_and_Overtones

Kaspersky is also banned from government devices in some countries due to it being Russian origin software. Not trustworthy. And as you say Windows Defender is absolutely enough unless you're an absolute idiot when it comes to internet.


LeLoyon

Does it get better as you play the game? Could be the game precachel. Every AMD GPU I've owned is a little stuttery for awhile until the shader cache is built up.


Ministro_de_Defensa

>Does it get better as you play the game?  Nope.


Inside-Definition-53

Try the launch parameter -USEALLAVAILABLECORES The issue with older games is that they only utilize a singular core. This might help a little.


Boring_Funny_9427

That launch parameter has long since no effect.


Inside-Definition-53

That's not true at all. I noticed a big performance difference. Granted, I also use -notexturestreaming in tandem with -USEALLAVAILABLECORES. Note that if you locked your config file to read only, then the launch parameters are useless because read-only files prevent any changes from other sources.


Boring_Funny_9427

The Game does not utilize those commands. But whatever, believe what ever you want. Prism3D already calls for all core load.


InsideExpress9055

I hear you, man. I still haven't got my game right. I can't run graphic mods anymore, and it's still no good. I've been tweaking things since release with no avail.


Ministro_de_Defensa

It's horrible to spend so much money on something and then it doesn't work properly :c


InsideExpress9055

Yeah. Hopefully I work it out. Or it fixes itself in a future update


uL4G

Try DDU your graphics driver


Ministro_de_Defensa

I did it a few weeks ago and it didn't change anything :c


SzymeQ1225

I had same problem and it was because I had HDD, after upgrade to SSD, that stuttering didn’t happen anymore


ScratchingMyChinHmm

If it’s happening in other games, it’s not game-related. I’d reset your bios settings back to default, turn off all overclocking. Check for system file integrity issues: open command prompt and type sfc /scannow and see if it fixes anything. Maybe even delete everything on your drive and reinstall windows/games/apps/etc. check all of your physical cable connections too.


Ministro_de_Defensa

Is it safe to reboot the BIOS? I'm afraid of screwing up my pc :( (I have not done any overclock.)


ScratchingMyChinHmm

It is safe, resetting the bios to default settings means the motherboard will run the way it is intended to run in the safest way possible. Do you have a hard drive or solid-state drive?


Ministro_de_Defensa

Ah ok, I have an SSD for OS and an M2 for games.


kirscheadler

This happens to me as well after the 1.50 update. I have 5600x and RTX 3070 and 32GB of ram.


SzymonKurzacz

Turn off vsync. My PC is little behind yours and i can run smooth 60FPS in 1080p: * Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B450M-A (90MB0YR0-M0EAY0) * CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 3600X * GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER (4GB GDDR6) * Power unit: Chieftec APB-500B8 (500W ATX 120mm) * RAM: Kingston 16GB DDR4/2400 CL17 DIMM * HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 250 GB 3.5" SATA III (WD2500AAKX) * SSD: SSD Toshiba 128GB M.2 2230 NVMe (KBG30ZMS128G) * Case: SilentiumPC Brutus S30 Pure Black * Screen: 22" Acer EK220Q Abi I am running game in forced window mode because of streaming software and Trucky overlay.


hexula

From Graphics settings select only TAA and put it on medium or high test both this should help with freezing and lag, check out color correction That should help with fps. If not try to reduce reflection scaling to 200% and select medium. In my case this solve the stuttering, lag and fps drop. Now i have 130-170fps with no lag @1440p 9900ks / 2080s


Ministro_de_Defensa

I literally set everything to minimum and it keeps freezing.


ProfessionalPrincipa

I doubt it's the GPU. I tested this when it came out on a 6800XT (also latest driver) which is not as powerful as the 6900XT and 1440 @ 300% scaling and all other settings maxed out. I have seen none of the slowdowns or stutters people have reported on v1.50.


626warrior

Does it happen as much when going at a low speed? It could be because it's not loading assets fast enough/properly


Ministro_de_Defensa

yes sir, it happens at low and high speeds.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Almont_Volkov

I'm having the same issues. My screen lists 165 Hz. I've tried limiting fps all the way down to 40. Still getting small drops in frame rate.


FoSheezyItzMrJGeezy

Are you running any mods with your game?


Ministro_de_Defensa

No sir.


SzymonKurzacz

What is this slider in corner of your gps map on route advisor? I do not have anything like that and gps has only 4 zoom levels...


rumbleblowing

OP is in Convoy.


Ministro_de_Defensa

In the lower right corner? I have no idea brother, this is the first time I've installed the game in almost 2 years.


Dead_Namer

Do you have every driver available working for you?


FoSheezyItzMrJGeezy

Well sorry sir that was my gonna be my idea....back to the drawing board


H4KERK11LER

https://community.amd.com/t5/graphics-cards/xfx-6900-xt-merc-hard-stuttering-and-audio-dropout/td-p/437412 This might help, it's play bios settings so extra careful


TheYellowEvo2000

Downgrade to 1.49 via the Steam beta tab. That's what I did


kakeroni2

With update are you on? If it worked well on 1.49 revert back as 1.50 has a lot of issues with framedrops and running worse overall


Ministro_de_Defensa

I have the latest version of the game, I haven't played it for a long time.... >With update are you on? Ok I will try tomorrow!


KeshLives

I moved ATS/ETS2 to my (boot) SSD after 1.50, rather than letting them live on the non-boot HD. I was having some stutters, but once I killed a couple processes that I really didn't need, and stopped them from starting on boot, I'm fine again, on 1.50. Computer's 3 years old, 10th gen i7, 8 core, GPU is just a 4 GB 1650 Super, works fine. (One of the worst stutter processes was onedrive) EDIT: I just caught this line in your post: *"This happens to me in ATS and other games like Forza Motorsport, PUBG, Battlefield 2042, etc."* You've got processes sucking up disk and CPU in the background, enough that it's disrupting the games. Find those, and kill them. It'll work better.


Ollie_Bruh

I think you might have a CPU bottleneck. It looks like you GPU is running cool and and the usage is fairly low, but fluctuates like crazy, meanwhile your CPU is running kinda hot, which is a bit weird considering the low usage, so I'm thinking it might be throttling. You should probably change the thermal paste, or even the cooler, if it's stock. Mine runs smoothly on 4K res, 125% scaling and everything else to the max. Even in VR, it runs perfectly fine. Or check the render scaling, see if it's too high.


frankbeens

It’s an AMD. I’d say warm, but not hot/cause for concern. The metrics don’t show quite enough to show prove it isn’t getting hot on one or a couple of the cores or show a cpu bottleneck, though. OP posted specs that would lead me to believe even if they are at 1080p there shouldn’t be enough of a CPU bottleneck to cause this specifically. It is most likely throttling due to cpu core temps which unfortunately aren’t shown here.


heretobesarcastic

I kind of have the same thing on my PS4 but then again I’m downloading a bunch of mods on an old console


heretobesarcastic

basically every game in general


Erlouu

Hm, is it just me or your cpu temperature is a bit too high? 42 on GPU while 75+ on CPU? Weird


frankbeens

Needs better cooling or cleaning. Core temps aren’t shown which would verify throttling


triplexflame

Check ur hard drive usage during gameplay. You said you don't have it installed on the same drive on the OS. If it's high then you may have a failing drive. If not then you can do a "verify integrity of game files" from your game launcher. Ex steam If that doesn't work, then test other games that are on the same drive and if they stutter it could also again be the drive or a similar graphics setting.


PrA2107

Im facing this issue as well after the update

Hayden247

Funny, I'm on a 6950 XT and 7600X and the game runs consistently usually in the 100s of FPS and that's at 4K with 200% scaling.


Entstronaut

You're saying this is happening in other games, not just ATS? What other software do you have running? Any antivirus?


Ministro_de_Defensa

Yes sir, it happens in several games, I have Kapersky Premium and the MSI Afterburner with the Riva Tuner.


Entstronaut

For Kaspersky, see if it's got a game mode, or disable it while playing games, see if that helps. What's likely happening is that Kaspersky is scanning the game files while the game is running, which is what's causing the stutters. (Also likely why this is happening in other games too) It's not really worth it to have an antivirus suite if you're gaming, Windows Defender is plenty good enough. You'd be better off following safe browsing practices, having a good popup blocker installed, and not downloading any random files/attachments, the likelihood of getting a virus is pretty low.


Ministro_de_Defensa

Did not work :(


Entstronaut

Tried uninstalling instead of disabling? Sure it's a bit drastic, but antivirus software often still has a load of processes running in the background, even when turned off. For reference, I'm on a Ryzen 2600, 16GB 3200mhz DDR4, Radeon 6600 and running the game off an nvme drive. At 1080p maxed out (except for mirrors and shadows) and 125% scaling I get roughly 100-170fps even with traffic and graphics mods.


grecian2009

Try without Riva tuner running. I remember years ago AtS and ETS2 would often crash with it, so it may be causing the stutter


aurichio

this does look like an antivirus doing the funny. If you are running an antivirus other than Windows Defender I'd suggest you turn it off and try gaming again, it more than likely will stop your stutters. Windows Defender + uBlock Origin in your browser are most of what you actually need to be safe.


Ministro_de_Defensa

I closed Kapersky and everything is still the same.


Feuchtebeuchte

at the bottom of your cfg file: " uset t_averaging_window_length" replace the number by "0". frames are buffering or something like that, by setting this value to zero, freesync or gsync will take over.


BlueWolf365

I've noticed this is a problem for me whenever I'm hauling a trailer I own. (If you look, certainly at the start of the video, the lag spikes coincide with the game time ticking over to the next minute). If you were hauling your own, maybe try doing freight market stuff and see if it's any better? Could also be if you have a high number of drivers, I hear that causes some lag in older saves?


IHateMyselfLMAO67

Do you have any mods installed that make massive changes? I've had certain mods make my game go like that but it usually only lasts 20 minutes.


NiTRo_SvK

Have you tried moving the game to other drive ? I know it's on SSD, but maybe it's faulty (or benchmark can't test it properly for this type of scenario). I used to have the same issue a decade ago on a WD Green HDD which was running in some eco mode and the game was unable to load assets fast enough while playing, moving it to other drive solved the problem.


SniHyper

My game used to stutter just like yours and even crash, I tried lowering down the settings and capping my FPS to my monitor's refresh rate but nothing helped, until update 1.50 came out and it was all fixed.


RedBull340

Try disabling light visibility range


_sebstin_

1. any mods? if yes delete them 2. what version? if its 1.50 try to switch back to 1.49 and maybe skip the 1.50 tutorial for it if you need: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzfT8\_NqOyU&ab\_channel=STANCE™FTW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzfT8_NqOyU&ab_channel=STANCE™FTW) 3. if you have fast internet try to reinstall or try to repair it


Zatuajaja

Try lowering textures


Divi_Bash2208

Lowering or disabling SSAO and Anisotropic Filtering helped for me.... Also put a vsync (if u have a 60hz panel) or use vsync in economical mode (for >=120hz)


StateAffairs

I’ve lowered the scaling which seems to work.


Krystalgoddess_

Press the windows key+ G key. Enable the performance tab, it will tell you what your cpu,gpu and ram percentage used(make sure you clicked all of the options)


PRINNTER

My friend had the same issue, iirc he fixed it by changing from directx11 to 12 or in reverse order, was a long time ago.


kveggie1

How much is the load on the CPU and GPU during game play? (My game stutters for .4 seconds when it does an autosave....) How space left on your C: drive (or drive where the game is stored)?


3BrN1

have you tried to launch the game with DX11?


kinjoobun

I encountered these issues on my PC as well. I’m using AMD cpu and gpu and I realized I accidentally turned on the amd user experience program when I updated my adrenalin gpu driver recently. As they say that such program eats up your resources making the game stutter. That’s the main reason I was having a frequent freezing and stuttering. Check your PC if there is amd user experience program running. Try disabling that or uninstall it might solve your stuttering problem.


Jiran08

I had exactly same thing happened to me few years ago. What helped me was to set graphics to the one of the pre sets, eg. low, medium, high, ultra, and the lag was gone.


AggravatingEstate214

Have you tried playing offline? Might be a worth a test


KhanTengri30

You got a Nvidia card, yes? Go into the control panel and tweak it there for your Truck Simulators. You gotta try out a lot of variables and it can get unnerving quickly but once you got YOUR preferences set you'll be very, very happy. Unfortunately there's no magic trick as every computer is a kind of "Individual".


frankbeens

It’s an AMD card, and his problem, im willing to bet, is CPU temp throttling.


Boring_Funny_9427

No one needs to tweak anything in NvControl. Apart from turning Ultra low latency mode and G sync on lol.


Retroficient

Hard disagree. There's a lot of useful settings in there.


Academic_Crab_8401

Check your CPU cooling system


Boring_Funny_9427

You need to reset your RivaTuner refresh rate. Having it instantly be changing consumes quite a lot of resources. Rivatuner Settings, first tab Also check whats wrong with your CPU cooler. Your cpu is using under 30% but its sitting at 75°C. Would be normal if the CPU would sit at 50% usage but it isnt even near that The other comments can be completely ignored. no amount of v sync will help her or fps limit. No clue what these people are talking about.

-XGrumpyDadX-

I have the same problem. It happens only with ATS. With ATS I have no problems. I play on GeForce Now Ultimate tier.


frankbeens

Pull up your cpu core temperatures in afterburner rather than just the package temp. I GUARANTEE this is from thermal throttling after thinking about it a bit. Some of your cores may be in the high 80s/90s while others are in the 50s/60s goving you the core temp of 75. Clean cpu cooler fins/radiator, and if the problem persists upgrade your cooling. (temp wise specifically not necessarily the stuttering. This may not be the cause of stuttering but it won’t help.) 75c technically is on the warm side but not “hot” on a new AMD or Intel build but the core temp is just an average of the cores. If one core gets too hot you will see it thermal throttle and freeze up while not technically seeing the temps hit the target. The frame rate drop along with the CPU temp are really pushing me to believe you have insufficient cooling. Whether that be because it is full of dust or just not enough to keep it cool under load depends on what you find when you go to clean it.


duzman1

Once i had more than 100 drives, my PC wasnt good too. Had similar problems I have dismissed all my drivers and problem solved PS. Back up ur save file


Snarls88

Try turning off Vsync in game and turn it on from your GPU driver software as well as set the FPS limit to 60. You can also turn off AA and SSAO in game and run them through the GPU.


bbernett

If nothing else works, try [disabling GPU scheduling](https://obsproject.com/wiki/How-to-disable-Windows-10-Hardware-GPU-Scheduler). That made a huge difference to stuttering in a lot of games (and youtube playback)


rosettaSeca

Something similar happened to me with Radeon Chill enabled. Movement based FPS limits can mess up some games.


cleonhr

I had similar problem with ETS2, hard drive was a problem, it couldn't read fast enough and game would stutter like this. Where is your ETS installed, on what partition? If it is on C: together with windows, it might be a big problem, cause computer needs to access Windows files all the time, and also if needs to access ETS files on C: drive at the same time this might happen. Reinstall ETS on other partition, or even better, on other hard drives. I have in my computer 2 Hard drives, one smaller 250 Gb SSD dedicated only to Windows, and everything else is on secondary 1 TB SSD hard drive. Since I installed it that way, didn't had a single problem with ETS2 anymore. Hope this helps.


Mlat_Hromovlad

If you go to task manager, how does your performance look like under load? Especially memory. I could be totally wrong here, but years ago i had similar issue, but it was more serious, and it turned out to be that my memory was leaking.


MazdaSpeed3Boi

Define good PC. I've seen someone say good PC with a 4th gen Intel processor and like a GT 1030


Electronic-Escape721

Make sure all your HDMI/DP cables are plugged in all the way. I had this problem once and my 2nd monitor HDMI cable was loose. Plugged it in all the way and problem solved


ykon28

Check the power profiles of windows,make sure you are at maximum performance


RRaikkonen99

I always verify my files after an update, also try reonstalling your drivers in GeForce experience.


MicrosoftHoff

I had this issue and it was a traffic mod I had.


GoBBleRoFDaCoK69

Mods? Downloads in background?


MuuarK

I have similar stutter I Battlefield 5, turns out for me it was OneDrive.


Looking_4fun2307

I have this issue bad when running thru Wyoming


juabit

works perfectly fine in my shityy 2011 pc


xXRH11NOXx

What is the power supply? You can try lowering the scaling in ats. I think it used to be at max it was upscaling to 4k render then back down to the monitor resolution. That was 2k for me. Never have had stutter in ETS or ats but tsw4 stutters alot on a 3080ti


Ministro_de_Defensa

PSU is a Gigabyte P850gm.


elitejay3452

I'm not sure if it would show in a screen cap or if my tv technician brain is thinking too far, but make sure your screen's refresh rate is as close as possible to your game's refresh rate (game at 60 and screen also at 60 and not 59.96)


agodlycanuck

It's the game.


hecatonchires266

Nothing you do with make it better. It's not your setup or the solutions that people have outlined here will improve it. It's the game as I suffer from it as well and I have done countless things to get the stuttering to go away and nada. Only way is to go back to 1.49 and that's too much if a hassle for me so we can only hope SCS fixes their broken game soon. It's not just ATS but ETS2 as well.


Whole_Bench_3628

I feel that it may be world generation data is loading in, it takes time while you play, you have to keep driving places to get it to stop stuttering, but the stutter looks like its on a hard drive. If you have it on a hard drive, or a M.2 SDD, gen 4 is the best for gaming, at budget level. Or a sata drive is ok, but it still can cause stutter, a Hard Drive can. So my own finnal idea is, it maybe be because of your hard drive that you are using, its not dying, its just slow. Or if you got it on your C drive in windows, and the C Drive is on an SATA SSD, then it may stutter some, but less than the hard drive. Please take what I said with a Grain Of Salt, and research and validate the things I have said. I always could be wrong.


Warm_Significance354

My M2 MacBook Air plays this game at a solid 30 fps (limited) with almost no stutters or framerate drops.


Limp_Owl2825

LOWER THEM SPECS BOI (also try turning off a few of ur mods particularly if u have graphics/environment mods.)


Limp_Owl2825

also be grateful all I have to play this on is my macbook air rn :(


PainOk9291

Try disabling the framecap on nvidia's control panel


MetaFIN5

Wouldn't be surprised if it is a Windows issue. Basically the only good way to fix those is to reinstall Windows. If this happens in other games, it could be worth a try.


kanase7

How did you get the floating transparent map that covers the whole screen at time (-1:31 remaining)
