#1 Post by Nick2332f » 18 Jun 2021 19:48

Hi. quick story, the game looks like *koalas* on 400 scaling, I want to increase it to at least 500. How do i do that?

Thanks in advance!

You can't. Given that scaling simply changes the initial calculated resolution, you've likely got a settings issue somewhere else.

What's your base resolution set to?
What are your graphics options set to?

400% scaling should do the trick but what are your monitor resolution?

In case you have an nvidia card, try this

you can get to 800% or even 1000% via the config file, done it myself. BUT it wont get any prettier instead it become grainy and dont throw any benefits and it only sets your PC on fire. the nvidia profile inspector is the only way of making this game looking sharp, like plykkegaard is refering too.

pro tip: lower your FOV

Can you give me/us a profile ? Everything i tried till now is not working on DX11. Also the AA-workaround from roextended.ro is not working for me. The game is so looking outwashed with jagged lines, and shimmering textures - my eyes hurts and im close to getting eyecancer. Nice that, SCS seems do deal with that. :roll:

Went back to freakin 1.35 version, just to get better AA again. :(

@johnny_91 You're probably doing something wrong. What are your PC specs? I can send you my own settings where everything is running smoothly at 60FPS (V-sync On), but settings I use will work perfectly only on similar configuration that I have. That's why I'm asking.

Having this said, I have probably touched every possible setting of the game to get the perfect balance. So, setting only NPI will not produce perfect results. You need to do a lot more, even to your Windows settings, not just the game itself.

@johnny_91

Here you can download my custom NPI settings Euro_Truck_Simulator_2.nip. I think this will work well in your case too**.

Next, you need to change game's config.cfg. Here is my own config.cfg. Notice that in case you get low FPS with these settings, the only lines you need to change in this file are:
  • r_sun_shadow_texture_size (lower to default 4096)
  • g_lod_factor_pedestrian (lower to 1.0, default 1.0)
  • g_lod_factor_parked (lower then 5.0, default 1.0)
  • g_lod_factor_traffic (lower then 5.0, default 1.0)
After that, go to Steam and set your game's launch options
-nointro -unlimitedlog -mm_pool_size 6000 -mm_max_resource_size 44 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 484

Next, download and install Multimon config: To install and configure the Multimon configuration after unpacking the ZIP file, follow the instructions below: Next, go to your Windows settings and do the following:
  • turn OFF XBOX Game Bar
  • turn OFF Background Game Recording
  • turn ON Game mode
  • turn ON Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling
  • in Graphics performance preference add your ETS2.exe file and set to High performance
In your Power plan's advanced settings, change the following:
  • PCI express / Link state power management: OFF
  • Processor power management / Minimum Processor state: 100%
  • Processor power management / MaximumProcessor state: 100%
Next, overclock your GPU to the best stable settings in Afterburner. It is not mandatory, but you can get even 30% more FPS if done correctly. It is completely safe, just don't touch the Core Voltage (!!!), it can burn your card. You need to test the settings yourself. Try finding some overclocking tutorials for your card on Youtube.

Finally, go to your settings in game and change (if needed) to match the following:

**Optionally, if you're still having lower FPS, change the following in NPI:
  • Antialiasing Setting: 4x Multisampling
  • Antialiasing Transparency Supersampling: 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling
  • Texture filtering - LOD Bias: -1.000

TIPS: Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers installed. Note that every time you update your graphics drivers, you need to re-apply NPI settings. Make sure also to optimize and de-bloat your Windows in the best way possible. You can find those tutorials on Youtube as well. It is extremely important that your game runs on SSD. Running it on regular HDD will have an extreme impact on game's performance.


I may have forgotten to write some setting here, but if I remember, I'll update the post here.

Anyway, this RoExtended post is golden resource for setting up the game, but you have to find your own sweet spot like I did tweaking these settings:

Hope this will help :geek:
