Hello!
I know this issue was already reported, but I have been waiting for a fix for it for almost two years now (an SCS employee said in late 2019 that the issue was known) and so far it has not been fixed.
The problem is: my game uses around 20 to 40% of the GPU when in game or in a menu - everything normal. But, when I minimize the game or I give ALT+TAB, the GPU usage goes up to 100% and the video card gets very hot. I tried to use workarounds like enabling V-Sync, limiting game FPS in foreground and background in NVIDIA's Control Panel, erasing the config.cfg file allowing ETS2 to recreate it, but the problem prevails.
The only way this problem doesn't happen is by activating Windowed Mode, but that way it's horrible to play.
This bug also occurs in ATS.
My computer runs Windows 10 Home 21H1 x64. I have an Intel Core i5-7400, GTX 1050 2GB, 8GB RAM DDR4 2133MHz, 1TB 7200rpm HDD and a 1366x768 resolution.
If necessary, I have attached the log file to this topic.
Please, fix it!

Re: 90 ~ 100% GPU usage when minimized
I took a closer look at the problem, and saw that it only happens when I join or create a Convoy session. Even if I leave (or close it), I need to restart the game to this bug doesn't happen. I'm waiting for a placement.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: 90 ~ 100% GPU usage when minimized
Same happens in shop- and map-mode when minimized. If you are in main menu or driving, utilisation is relatively low.
Re: 90 ~ 100% GPU usage when minimized
Here's not the same. In shop and map-mode the game keeps the FPS on the limit that I set, even minimized. This bug only happens for me when I create or join a Convoy session, in the entire game.
I hope SCS fix it in 1.42.
Re: 90 ~ 100% GPU usage when minimized
Well, v1.42 has been released and the bug hasn't been fixed yet. Again, video card usage goes up to 100% when I minimize the game. This does not happen during the game, only when it is minimized. This only happens when I create or join a Convoy session. In single player mode the problem doesn't happen.
Here are new logs I generated for analysis. First I made a delivery of the "Steering Wheel Roll-Out" event, and I checked several times during the delivery that the problem was not happening. I completed the delivery, created a Convoy session and checked: the problem happened as I expected.
Thanks.

Re: 90 ~ 100% GPU usage when minimized
happens every time when alt tabbing and program gets minimized. meanwhile it laggs in game when gpu is at 50%, should be the other way shouldnt it?
