Is my truck dead in the water?

#1 Post by Pull My Finger » 22 Jul 2021 12:03

Problem: ETS2: I was on a long haul trip at night, somewhere near Zagreb. I stopped to sleep. As I set off again a truck rammed me before I even made it fully onto the road. The cab of my truck was completely dislocated and hanging off (never seen this before) and was totally un-driveable. I had to have my truck towed using the pop-up towing service widget. My truck was taken to a garage which was essentially a parking lot, not a repair shop, in Zagreb (I think). I needed to get to a repair shop but I can't get my truck started as my engine is 100% damaged and would not start. My chassis was also 100% damaged. I can't get to a repair garage and can't continue the game. If I tried the towing option again it just takes me to the same place. I own 4 garages with 5 trucks and 5 drivers each but can't swap my truck because I have to finish the delivery first.

Anyone have any idea how I could solve this problem? I am stuck with no help available.

(not sure if this is even in the correct forum) :roll:

Your only option seems to be to cancel current delivery. And swap your truck afterwards.

When you're at the service station, did you press "Enter" to bring up the repair menu?

Yes I did press enter but it appears not to be a repair garage, it looks just like a parking space. There is no repair icon shown on the map, just the rest icon. Looks like my only option is to cancel the delivery and fix the truck. Thanks anyway guys.

The truck covers the repair icon, might be a bug in game that it can't be activiated
I had to move back and forward a couple of places to be able to activiate the repair menu

Zagreb? This a mod map? Sounds like a bug with the service station. Talk to the map maker.

I'm sure you've found a solution by now but if it happens again, you can activate the dev console in your config file and then teleport your truck to a repair shop/icon. Just make sure the camera is close to the ground when you teleport it or you might cause a lot more damage to your truck when it falls from the sky lol.
