Game elements periodically disappear [157161]

#1 Post by AntonioMart » 12 Apr 2021 00:14

This problem has recently been observed not only in ETS, but also in ATS.

Game elements periodically disappear. I turn them on again via console the command g_show_game_elements 1 but after a while they disappear again.

What could be the problem?

As we can see in gamelog g_show_game_elements 0

How did you do it, if you don't have dev console enabled? :!:

Code: Select all

0:00:01.975 : uset g_developer "0"

Code: Select all

00:00:01.977 : uset g_console "0"

If you edit the config file while the game is running any change are lost / overwritten when the game exits

@MirM I turned off the console by changing these values back to 0, but you want to say that this is the problem and the console needs to be left on, then the game elements will not disappear?

No. He said don't edit the config file with an editor and change settings in the game at the same time. Do it one way or the other.

He suggested that this might have been the cause. Of course I have no clue if that was really the problem, but this is the only explanation that makes sense. In all the years I never had that setting disabled, out of the blue.

@Reinhard But initially, the game elements disappeared in ETS during one of the update of the open beta 1.40. I didn't attach any importance to this, deciding that this is a bug of this particular update, this is known and this will be fixed in the future, but the game elements did not appear until the very final version. Only then did I have to edit myself config file to use the console and apply the command g_show_game_elements 1. Before that, the config file not edited by me. In ATS game elements also disappeared suddenly, but already in the final version 1.40 not open beta and also I turned them back on through the console and this command.

I can't comment that because I usually don't partake in a beta. But I never saw it that a single option magically changed. Or should I say I never noticed, at least?

What happened to me sometimes with an update: all kind of graphics options suddenly on "low". No clue what forces this, but as this is immediately visible, it is not a real problem. I restore the config and that's it. Windows' "File History" is a very nice feature. :lol:

So, it happened again, game elements shut down spontaneously:

Code: Select all

00:00:02.085 : uset g_console "1"

Code: Select all

00:00:13.544 : uset g_show_game_elements "0"
I don't know why this is happening. The console was turned on this time and I didn't turn off the game elements.

This error sometimes occurs when using "Photo Studio".

Enable items using the dev console:

Code: Select all

g_show_game_elements 1
