ETS2 regularly stutters every 5 minutes or so [FIXED]

[wheelman]

I'm running ETS2 (on an i7 desktop with SSD system drive and R7 265 video card which gives 60fps under most conditions, although it sometimes drops to 50odd fps in towns. There is obviously enough grunt to keep the game rattling along, and yet, every 5 minutes and a few seconds the whole game, video and sound hesitates for a split second and then carries on. This isn't a big problem for me, it's just odd that, with all the grunt and speed this pc has, it still can't run ETS2 seamlessly.

Anybody else see this ?

If you are using Steam version, check if Steam is crashed or not...

Does this not sometimes happen during autosaves on some systems?

The regularity would suggest it is because the game is saving and the HDD is having trouble loading the content and saving at the same time.

What game version are you using?

And can we have a game.log.txt please?

[wheelman]

What game version are you using?

1.14.2 (non-Steam version)

And can we have a game.log.txt please?

Moh1336 mentions autosaves and they do occur every five minutes. Can't see any options to change the time period to prove it, though.
I figured an SSD wouldn't have any of these sort of issues; maybe not.

Here 'tis:

Thanks for the responses, guys.

1.15 is in beta at the moment. Auto-save has been substantially optimized in it. You can try the public beta by registering your game with Steam (free download - instructions here), or you can wait until the official non-steam 1.15 comes out and see if it fixes your issue.

[jarvik79]

Unco, just to point out, 1.15 is not in beta any more - it's public release on Steam.

[Unco]

And right you are! Don't know how I missed that and no idea why I'm on the public beta

OK thanks. I'll try 1.15.
One question though; the link for registering with Steam mentions activation and installation after activation. Does that involve a re-install or possible loss of current game settings and history ?

cheers....

[Unco]

After activation, you will be prompted to download the game from Steam. If your profile directory is in the default location (Documents / Euro Truck Simulator 2), then the Steam installation should find it and you can continue with your progress.

Having said that, I strongly recommend you back up your profile anyway, prior to doing anything.
