dx12 is not supported and might lead to game crashes and other issues. Depending on your pc specs you could try turning off vsyncGanslit wrote: 12 Jun 2026 21:42hello, i find solution on the internet, but still there are fps drops in cities, but much less fps drops

Re: not stable FPS after 1.59 ATS and ETS2

I havo no powerful PC, so somethink i have on High, something on Medium settings. :Lionv8 wrote: 13 Jun 2026 20:27You can try these settings:Ganslit wrote: 13 Jun 2026 19:46

Re: not stable FPS after 1.59 ATS and ETS2
Turn off SSAO - its not optimized and makes game stutters and lag often. You can also change anti-aliasing to only TAA. There is not a big difference and fps will slightly improved. What's you pc specs? They are also important because future updates for optimization will be mostly done for newer pc specs. And in 1.60 there aren't any improvements. And some people even is saying than in ats the performance got worser.Ganslit wrote: 14 Jun 2026 14:46i have these settings, less than you suggest. But i still have problems with fpson version 1.59.

Re: not stable FPS after 1.59 ATS and ETS2
To be honest, I also think it's some strange things going on with the FPS. I have everything maxed out except scaling that I just did put to 200% (had 300% earlier as that was what Nvidia "optimized" it too). My FPS goes back and forth between 100 (set as limit) and 70 something. Before on 300% scaling it went between ~75 to ~50. This up and down behaviour happens everywhere on the map, with some deviations depending on rural or city. It oscillates every second

Re: not stable FPS after 1.59 ATS and ETS2
That's the main problem. Not stable frame rate. But in some occasion fps. Like in cities or areas with dense forests.abasstreppas wrote: 14 Jun 2026 15:40 To be honest, I also think it's some strange things going on with the FPS.
