ATS/ETS2 Local Radio

[brocalypepper]

Whenever I alt+tab to the local radio chrome tab, it freezes the game and I have to alt+f4, what should I do?

@brocalypepper Don't alt+tab

Joking aside, update your graphics drivers, and if it keeps happening, you can disable the overlay in the settings.json file.

Hello,

Thanks for this great mod!

I have an issue with it : It works perfectly fine in ETS2 but cannot work in ATS : the mods gives me Irish stations.

I use the alternative dll (because the regular one does not work on my computer)

Any way to have US stations in the US?

Been trying for at least a year or so why Local radio crashes the ETS2 or ATS if you either launch it whilst the game is running or
you launch radio first then when the coordinates are found and the stations it crashes the games as well.
Gamelog.txt gives me this at the end

Code: Select all

Hopefully we can finally fix this. I wonder if its a conflict with so other mod or something but its odd that its happened on my old pc so its not just a hardware issue unless its the USB DAC i have or something going weird.

Edit: Funny that after 2 hours all of a sudden changing stations was crashing the game as well and then I looked at the log and it hit me. Its the overlay causing the crash. Im assuming you made it with 1080p/1440 in mind when its been crashing for me in 4k/8k. At 8k it doesnt even scale at all and stays in the top left hand corner so i disabled it and now its no longer crashing AT ALL !

this works on 1.40?

@Whiskeyomega I did not create the overlay with any resolution in mind - it asks Windows what the current window size is (which at full screen is generally 1080p, 1440p, 4k, 8k, etc.), and then calculates the center top middle position (centred horizontally, 75% up vertically). If it is stuck in the top left corner, then it most likely detected your resolution as 0×0 (which is generally an error), which happens sometimes for some people. I know that it happens after you changed your graphics settings, but I am not sure why it happens for some people at other times as well.

The overlay is a great thing when it works, but it is also a difficult thing to get working reliably.

Well yes this is it as it was the source of my crashing problem among many pcs for at least 2 years. The overlay only started being in the top left hand corner since I went to 8k. I know im on 200% scaling on 8k on the desktop which could make the game think the res is 4k which makes sense given where the overlay appears as if its 1 quarter of my tv screen. So it could be a scaling issue from the desktop

Can you add Malta stations please ? All im getting is 0 bar Italian stations when On the Island

Hello. Please I need help.. This used to work great but when I updated to 1.40 it stopped I have the latest version of the plugin installed all necessary things. 'when I open the game and the plugin is running the game crash. In the game log there's not the same same error every time.. So I guess the error shows the last thing the game failed to do because it crashed.. Also in ATS it gave me European radio stations instead of Us.. It works though no crashes. But wrong location.. Any help will be appreciated

Nothing changed in the plugin, it should just work the same way it did for 1.39 (or 1.41 for that matter). I would recommend disabling the overlay, and seeing if the problem persists. Make sure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date.
