It probably depends on what tv reception booster you have and what frequency it runs at. I'm not as knowledgeable on thid area but it should probably work fine without any problems.

I'd assume as long as they're not right next to each other there wouldn't be interference but to be safe you could probably use an LTE filter on your TV antenna.

[glass pendant]

i'm not 100% sure what tv booster we have on the farm, we are renting the house while helping with the cattle, the owners have a house they built probably, 10 metres away from our house and they have the tv booster that connects to both houses, older couple in their 80s and they didn't purchase the booster so they don't know, was their son which moved to another state sadly and they have strict rules no one is allowed on the roof no matter what, and thats where its located, they don't want the hassle of someone getting hurt. so sadly finding out what exactly it is isn't an option 😦

fyi: by renting i mean we have been here the last 10 years with no actual lease agreement, we just give them money to be here 😂 and we have full control of what we do with this house and our "yard" fenced off area to keep the cows away from the house. so no normal rental restrictions apply here, we can do what we want to this house, we have even re-moddled some of it and they didn't care

[severe sage]

It probably doesn't matter to be honest then as it will probably be on different frequencies anyway, and the distance should be far enough not to cause issues.

You said you can get 2 bars of 4G so you would probably not have to spend too much on one as you have decent connection in some areas anyway.

[glass pendant]

that 2 bars on 4g is only in 1 specific spot in my room, no where else under the roof or actually near the house, not sure if that changes anything, but everywhere else upto the road is a dead zone pretty much, to make calls we literally have to drive down the driveway

every place that would normally call we have set up to recieve mail or emails for contact due to this and we all use my phone for internet (mum only uses it for facebook and dad doesn't know what the internet is so, never really affects me esp being on night shift so i'm only able to play at work or at night when i have a night off

[severe sage]

You really are remote then eh

[glass pendant]

i am sorry about the spelling mistakes, i type fast and this new laptop has a different layout on the keyboard (size of everything) so i'm still getting used to it and don't realise i messed up until after i hit send

takes an hour to drive to the nearest building thats not another farm and thats our post office/general store 😂 we are really far out

for fuel we literally have to go to another farm and buy fuel off of them as the nearest fuel station is too far to actually be worth the high cost

[severe sage]

Woah, that is far. I'm surprised you even get any data connection.

[glass pendant]

so am i to be honest, but when i found the spot that works i turned my tv stand on its side, put my toolbox ontop and a few other things to get a stable perfect position for it 😂 and i put line on the top object so i know exactly where to put the phone every time and my room is the only room 100% off limits by everyone other then me so no one can accidently knock any part of it out of place as we are afraid we won't find it again haha

[agile ermine]

Yeah, thats a laptop, but it doesn't really matter since it's pretty much as fast as a desktop equivalent

CPU is somewhere inbetween a ryzen 5800X and a 7700X, and the gpu is equivalent to a desktop 4060, because it's a low tdp gpu anyways

[severe sage]

Well, probably about 20% slower than desktop equivalents, which is still pretty impressive for the design constraints

[fierce shoal]

How does it do in the populated areas

And how much you paid for it

Because I was gonna buy a laptop that as a RTX 4060

[agile ermine]

No. The 4060 mobile in its highest TDP variant (115W with a 140W boost) is just as fast as a desktop 4060. Which isn't surprising given the desktop 4060 also has a 115W TDP

And for the CPU, I own a desktop pc with a Ryzen 5800X, which gets a lower 3dmark score than my laptop.

[agile ermine]

Approximately 15fps, in 1440p and max settings as far as I can remember

But that's a worst case scenario, with over 100 players rendered

It's an XMG Apex 17, paid approx. 1600€ for it, but you can easily find much cheaper laptops with equivalent specs (with a 15' screen, eventually 1080p, with an intel cpu or a lower tier ryzen, and I also have 32GB of ram and 2To of storage, which might not be something you need)

I don't know where you live, but here I can easily find a laptop equipped with a 4060 for less than 1200€, sometimes even under 1000€

[severe sage]

Same TDPs doesn't necessarily mean the same performance.

I do accept that in this case there not being a substantial difference does mean that the performance difference is less than other mobile variants, but it is still there. Partly due to the lower clock of a mobile 4060, but also due to inevitable cooling constraints.

The CPU 3dmark difference you raised I'd expect as well as a 5800x is two generations older and at a lower clock speed. On a sustained load though they'd probably even out more though.

Still a perfectly good graphics card to have in a laptop though

[agile ermine]

if you compare the 140W mobile 4060 with the desktop 4060, you'll see that the boost clocks are very close (100-200MHz difference), and big gaming laptops can cool a 140W GPU without issues, which leads to basically no difference. Of course, that's not the case for the lower TDP versions, which will indeed run at much lower clock speeds.

so same TDP = same performances for a given gpu, that would be nonsense if it wasn't the case

a quick note about the CPU, the 5800X is only 1 generation older (Zen 3 vs Zen 4), and both have similar all core boost clocks, though the 7840HS has higher boost clocks on smaller numbers of cores

on sustained loads I can't say anything for sure, but so far the laptop's cooling held up really well, so I wouldn't be surprised if it manages to keep the temperature under the limit where it starts to throttle

that depends a lot on the different models of laptops, though

modern laptops are really fast nowadays, the GTX 900M series era is long gone

[severe sage]

In terms of desktop ryzen correct. The slightly less known 6th generation (ryzen 6000) I considered as a generational leap, making 2 between the 5800x and 7040HS. I think that's a whole different debate though on whether 6000 series should be counted hehe

[severe sage]

True as well, but the TDP isn't necessarily what a laptop could reach, or reaches only under very certain circumstances. I know that many manufacturers don't utilise the full TDP for battery concerns which would cause a variation in result. theoretically if they have the same TDP then they would perform the same but I'm confident most manufacturers will limit either the maximum draw or how long it can be sustained. Your laptop manufacturer may not, in which case it is more indicative.

An example is on my work surface, it's 8th gen i5 is designed to reach 15w but even on the most strenuous workloads at 100% utilisation it has never reached more than 12w. Obviously its designed for a completely different use than gaming but i think it's still relevant.

[agile ermine]

the 6000 series are only mobile CPUs, and as far as I know they're nothing more than a refresh of some 5000 series chips, so... yeah, it's debatable 😅

oh, hang on, it's actually Zen 3+, didn't knew that one existed, that should probably count

[agile ermine]

of course the components can't always reach their max TDP. But usually, and especially with gaming laptops, the manufacturers don't randomly put stuff together hoping it doesn't thermal throttle to death

again, you'd be surprised how well some laptops are cooled

my laptop's 4060 actually runs cooler than my desktop's 3070 Ti

[severe sage]

That last point on manufactures not wanting their systems to thermal throttle is also debatable hehe, or wasn't the case for a very long time

[severe sage]

Interesting 🤔

[agile ermine]

laughs in intel 9750H

[spiral yew]

that's because the GPU is soldered to the motherboard

[modern siren]

actually because 3070 ti can run with 300w and the 4060 laptop is only 115w

[severe sage]

That wouldn't make any significant difference to thermal performance, as ghoz said it's likely the power draw difference.

[fierce shoal]

i know

because i can find a laptop for those same specs for like 860 usd

like i am gonna save up to buy

https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-G5-1920x1080-i5-12500H-KF-E3US333SH/dp/B0BVRGF3MR/&tag=laptopdealssite-20?th=1

[agile ermine]

that's not how it works, though, desktop GPUs have a way beefier cooling solution

[fierce shoal]

its 850 as a rtx 4060 max 75 watts with a i5 12500h

[fierce shoal]

you do know there is only so much your laptop battery can output

rmember a laptop battery isnt a normal pc powersupply

[agile ermine]

whether it's soldered or not doesn't change anything, and both laptop and desktop GPUs are directly die-cooled

[fierce shoal]

what you think 850

[agile ermine]

?

[fierce shoal]

850 for a rtx 4060 75watts with a i512500h

[modern siren]

correct
power draw also has an effect
It also depends on what type of GPU you use

[agile ermine]

how do you know it's 75W ? also, you'll definitely need to add another stick of ram, because a- 8GB isn't enough nowadays and b- single channel RAM is a no-go

[fierce shoal]

i know

[fierce shoal]

because reviews on the pc says its 75

plus i have a website that says the watt of the laptops

there is a lenovo for 870

with 140 watts

and the same cpu you had

[agile ermine]

if that's true then that's a hell of a deal, because laptops with zen 4 CPUs are rare and usually on the expensive side

[glass pendant]

To whoever this was directed at. You better believe it..

My aspire 7 laptop batter last 2.5 hours on a full charge while gaming if you have everything set up for performance and quality. If you leave all the settings for everything as default you only get an extra hour..

Best to change the battery mode to battery saver so it only holds the charge at 80% if you go for a laptop... And just keep the thing on charge.

I already have power points in my car so that's the only reason I got a laptop 🤣 I go camping by myself alot and love playing games with different views, it's amazing.. but don't trust your battery to last long enough for anything gaming..

(This was tested with a game as small as airport ceo) more demanding games will give you less time...

Sorry for the randomly going back to that part of the conversation. Just thought I'd share that experience for information.

Only go for laptop if you need the portable side of things

[agile ermine]

it's already amazing that you can game in decent conditions on battery, given how slow the components will be

[ripe stone]

yo ill be getting a TH8S but i haven't got a clutch on my pedals, will it still work ?

[fierce shoal]

yeah thats why i like a laptop and the laptop will always be charging so doesnt matter

[glass pendant]

you can play most games (including ats/ets2) without a clutch while using a wheel and/or shifter 🙂 they have settings in place to still go through each gear without the use of a clutch in any pattern. if you wish to use a real truck pattern at any time your best bet is to google the correct command console inputs to get a real splitting system 🙂

in short... you do not need a clutch under any circumstances to play 🙂

[ripe stone]

Thank you

[glass pendant]

just don't forget, laptops can be a lot louder then a computers and can run a lot hotter as well... but if you want you can get a cheap cooling pad/stand to push cold air into the system 🙂

but the reason i came back to this channel is below 🙂

Does anyone know what is the max temp before you shut down your games and turn off your laptop without damaging anything?

will update with the temps i get shortly, havn't tested with a temp gauge yet but ive already got an accurate program for temps 🙂 just been busy as all hell today

[ripe stone]

90 celcius?

[dusky hound]

About 90 celcius yeah

[glass pendant]

is that meaning, stop playing at 90? or would that be at the stage of monitor heavily

[ripe stone]

nah continue

[glass pendant]

any idea on what temp would be stop playing no matter what? i have a program that detects the temp and lets me choose what temp an alarm yells at me xD

the default temp is 75c 😂 and i know thats way too low to care about while gaming

[dusky hound]

You can continue to play. But it might get damaged overtime

[glass pendant]

i also have this "drop down" style program (has a small thin version and i can drop it down to get all this information) each circle at the top is a whole section for each thing and works similar to the task manager but looks better and can do more, would honestly recommend this to everyone and everything else from iobit software, its all awesome!

(only adding this and the information about it incase anyone is looking for something that monitors everything and goes on your desktop as a constant widget but can be removed with ease by just pressing "X" )

[glass pendant]

just some information on my gaming to get as close to accurate as possible...

i only play for a maybe 4h in total when im at work (i do security at night and 4h is my "non working time") if i have the night off then im mostly gaming from around 6pm"ish" to probably 4am"ish" as i can't ruin my sleep schedule or i mess up at work, when im not in aircon the bit of my laptop above the keyboard and under the screen probably gets to roughly around 80-90ish by feel, could be wrong, havn't checked it with my PM (image above) yet but i know the laptop wouldn't be lower then 80 at them times.

(times also include toilet and food breaks and dog cuddles but the game is always running through them)

hope that helps either you or anyone else to give as accurate information as physically possible 🙂

i also thank you for any and all information and the time you take from your life to respond 🙂

[ripe stone]

my gpu gest to 100 celcius when i play ets2 and idc

most i spend none stop was 5 hours

i think the max it got when i was playing was 104

[glass pendant]

gonna start playing the game ive spent money on and let you know what the temps get to, doesn't take long at all to get hot, but it stays at a steady hot xD

just spent like $60 on Jurassic world evolution 2 getting the game and DLC's while they are all cheap on sale xD and i gotta say, its more demanding on my laptop then ets2mp is xD

[ripe stone]

It's a laptop

[hazy berry]

My dell optiplex could run ets 2 on high graphics with only ram upgraded

[polar lance]

My specs are worse then that and I can manage ultra and 40fps

Are you sure you don’t have other apps in the background using the cpu or gpu

[ripe stone]

I can manage medium and run approximately 50fps

[glass pendant]

before i start up my game actually...

does anyone know if the geforce program uses the same graphics settings as the games it finds?

im annoyed that geforce only gives you a slider of preset settings for games and wandering if it just changes the normal game settings or not

[hazy berry]

Close up the background apps

[modern siren]

maybe your laptop need some maintenance like change the thermal paste or/and cleaning the fan

[ripe stone]

But my GPU gets really hot

[hazy berry]

Or use an optimizer like razed cortex

[ripe stone]

I haven't touched it since like 7 years ( I haven't opened it or smthg)

[hazy berry]

Give it a clean

[polar lance]

I’d get it checked if you don’t know how to do it yourself

[modern siren]

[glass pendant]

alright, remove the back/bottom of your laptop, might be 2 screws under a "security" sticker (will void your warrenty but i think you said it was 7 years old) so that doesn't matter xD then stare at the filth in amazment for a while then close your eyes and start blowing like mad!

[ripe stone]

Yea

[glass pendant]

or try carefully use a vacuum with a brush type attachment but be very careful as you can knock things off easily, (would not recomend if you don't know what things are and how to replace them)

[ripe stone]

I'll go with the old blowing way

[glass pendant]

use an old or new but CLEAN toothbrush to get all the tight spaces and what knot, if you want to clean the fan i can talk you through that as well

[ripe stone]

Ight

Will the back plate go loose or I have to take it off by force

[glass pendant]

the back laptop casing?

[ripe stone]

Yes

[glass pendant]

after you remove the screws you might need to carfully pry the edges away with a thin blade, try not use a sharp knife as you can damage things, but the case and clips can handle a bit of force

[modern siren]

the backplate usually doesn't come off immediately loose. i usually use an unused credit card to loosen it.

[glass pendant]

some laptops have no clips and just fall off though

ok cool, that video shows how to remove the fans, just make sure to be careful when cleaning the fans, i recommend a makeup or this paint brush for maximum efficiency, but mouth also works for now

only remove whats needed btw, you are only cleaning the laptop, not doing work on it, so id only remove covers and the fans and leave the rest

[ripe stone]

So I need to take off the fans completely

[modern siren]

yes
to clean the dust

hows it look? if it still looks alright then no. if it looks all messed up and like it isn't doing its job then yeah

[ripe stone]

Shit and what if it's messed up I haven't got any thermal paste

I haven't removed the heatsink cuz I heard you need to replace it

[glass pendant]

can get a tube pretty cheap on ebay man, just check for the rating needed for your stuff and buy a cheap tube that matches what you need, i can have a look for you if you want, but if you havn't removed it then it should be fine until you are able to get some

[modern siren]

you did to loose the backplate?

[ripe stone]

Yes

[ripe stone]

But I need to wait for delivery

[glass pendant]

have you removed any of it? you don't need to when your only cleaning

[ripe stone]

I haven't even removed the heatsink cuz I heard that I need to replace it

[modern siren]

just remove the fan

[glass pendant]

if you havn't scraped any of it off then it should be fine to keep using until you can get some

just don't think about it until some shows up at your door i guess, just focus on the cleaning side of things

[ripe stone]

Do what do I do now ? Keep the old thermal paste?

So*

[modern siren]

yeah

[glass pendant]

hang on, what year model is your laptop? some of the older stuff will outlive your laptop and everything else made today, older stuff is actually designed to last unlike nowadays where EVERYTHING is designed to be ruined in a few years to earn more money

[ripe stone]

I think it's 2015 or 2017

[glass pendant]

there is a legit chance you won't ever have to replace it... i have a 10 year old laptop where everything in it is way better then anything that will ever be made or ever has been made from the last 8 years and probably the next 20 tbh

not tech wise, but everything else

[ripe stone]

Ok

So I keep the thermal paste

[glass pendant]

2015 you won't need to replace it, 2017 is kind of touchy?

keep it

[ripe stone]

Sorry for the questions

Ok

[glass pendant]

i will do some research on the paste used and let you know for later on, but for now you dont have new stuff so you have no choice but to leave it if you want to still use the laptop and thats fine mate! id rather questions over you breaking your stuff

[ripe stone]

Ok

[modern siren]

i'll wait the results

[ripe stone]

K

[glass pendant]

that stuff will be fine unless youve been reaching heats of 145c.

thermal paste is a type of greese like substance, it will expand and shrink and it should, that stuff will look ugly like everything that gets hidden from that time 😂 you will be fine to leave that old stuff alone, if it were a newer laptop you wouldn't have a choice but to replace it 😂 be glad you have something with age

do not ever run anything that isn't deigned to handle that heat at them heats though please. the paste may be fine, but everything else in there wouldn't be...

i may not work in IT anymore but i will still warn of risk and harm.... things can laterally explode at these temps, the way we "disposed" of batteries from everything was literally make them go BOOM, don't let your laptop go boom. you need that to game

[ripe stone]

I give up

I think I broke something

I hate myself

My dad gonna kill me

[ripe stone]

I followed everything

The power cord won't come inside the connecter

Also I didn't clean nothing I just can't seem to get out the heatsink, so I just hooverd the fans

I was able to turn it on but it's making a weird noise

[agile ermine]

replacing the thermal paste is a last resort option if your laptop is overheating and cleaning the fans didn't make any difference

if you removed the cooling system, you WILL have to replace the thermal paste

[ripe stone]

okay

[severe sage]

You did make sure not to spin the fans?

[ripe stone]

Yes

I put my finger on the fans so it doesn't spin

[severe sage]

Have you ensured you plugged the battery ribbon cable back in?

[ripe stone]

Yes

[severe sage]

So apart from the strange noise was there any sign of life? (I.e keyboard lights up/fans spin)

[ripe stone]

No it was all working fine

Just the noise

[severe sage]

Is it high pitched or rattling?

[ripe stone]

Very high pitched

[severe sage]

Hmm.

What I'd suggest you do is remove the backplate again and double check each cable connection, they are well known for not always making good contact first time around

[ripe stone]

Okay I'll do that

[severe sage]

Make sure you wear an antistatic arm band or touch something which is grounded regularly.

[ripe stone]

Ok

Btw I checked it was all plugged correctly

the timer can be set to reset when the system shuts down

[mighty idol]

just my theory but you may have fast startup turned on

from my understanding fast startup will technically copy your ram and saves it in the drive and load it back when the pc starts in order to make your pc start faster

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help. I play T&LS ATM but I would like to get a pc and run ETS but I'm not very clued up on graphics cards and pcs what would I need to look for to run this game.
Thanks

[severe sage]

What's your budget and what sort of performance you looking at?

[woven cairn]

Thanks for reply, how much am I looking at? I haven't got a clue how much they are worth 😂 and performance wise I would like no lagging in multiplayer and good graphics

[severe sage]

For decent (i.e not ultra settings but abour 60FPS) performance you would probably look at minimum £500-600 new. If you want ultra settings/high resolution it can go upwards of £1000 and even above.

Honestly any budget will work but if it's lower than £500 second hand would be your best shot.

So you're aware, due to limitations with ETS2 itself you will not see good performance in busy multiplayer areas even with a ~£2000 PC.

Prices will also change quite a bit if you plan on building it yourself or getting a prebuilt system

[modern siren]

first,
where do you live?

[woven cairn]

Thank you 1000 pound sounds ok but I want to play truckers mp so would I get bad performance or would it still be ok to play?

[woven cairn]

I live in Essex

[severe sage]

It would run TruckersMP and base game ETS2 very well except in areas such as Calais or Duisburg where the game engine itself starts to struggle which does usually lead to poor performance even on a high end system.

[woven cairn]

Ok brilliant what am I looking for in a pc then like minimum performance wise for good performance

[severe sage]

A solid 60 FPS or above in most games at high settings is what you should look for.

[woven cairn]

Thanks Sharp hopefully I will see you all online soon? 😁

[severe sage]

No problem, feel free to ask any questions as PCs are a fairly complex area to navigate online 😉

[woven cairn]

Thank you, is there ever convoy meets ? And events

[simple citrus]

any gaming laptop from 2023-2022 will run ETS2 and ATS smooth as butter

if you want a fancy screen to see them fancy graphics, try and find a laptop with an IPS OLED panel

I got a laptop with an AMD cpu and a rtx 2060 gpu in it. runs the guardians of the galaxy game nicely

bought that for school back in 2019

[agile ermine]

IPS and OLED are two different things

And OLED is unnecessarily expensive for most people

But yeah, ETS2 and ATS aren't super hard to run, though entry level gaming laptops might really struggle on truckersmp

[simple citrus]

well any pc struggles on busy areas in tmp

[severe sage]

Yes, many! You can look in #event-advertisement or join a VTC that attend them.

[simple citrus]

just noticed I forgot to seperate the IPS / OLED

but oled laptops aren't super expensive, seems that most laptops these days are going for an oled panel

[woven cairn]

That info really helps thanks alot

[simple citrus]

https://www.rtings.com/laptop

[woven cairn]

Oh wow that looks brilliant 🤩, better start looking for a pc now 😜

[simple citrus]

I often check rtings.com to find some inspiration

the ASUS TUF Dash F15 2022 model seems to be a great laptop at first glance

it's around 900€ if I look it up

https://www.rtings.com/laptop/reviews/asus/tuf-dash-f15-2022

[severe sage]

Unless he needs the portability a desktop is a better choice than a laptop though.

[simple citrus]

true

but I don't recommend buying a prebuilt at the local tech store

or even most of the custom pc builder websites

[severe sage]

True as well, but if you're not comfortable building it yourself you can find some surprisingly good deals, especially now as they get rid of old Xmas stock.

[woven cairn]

I don't need to take the pc anywhere, I have the Logitech g920 steering wheel so would want that set up so maybe a desk with pc and monitors is the best way for me

[simple citrus]

well if it's gonna be a desktop pc, the budget goes up. since you'll find it hard to get a prebuilt near 1000$ and you still need a monitor, mouse and keyboard

[safe swift]

Hello friends, you need to play for 2 hours to download trks mp.

[woven cairn]

AMD Ryzen 3200G CPU is this graphics any good?

[severe sage]

The on-board graphics are not great, they can be used to play games but only on low settings at reduced fram rates. You will want a dedicated graphics card to get optimal performance.

[woven cairn]

Ok thank you, I'm just looking and learning

[agile ermine]

Nah, it's still very uncommon... And you'll often find these in notebooks, not in gaming laptops

[simple citrus]

[misty glade]

for fun

Lets try get virus from winter mod page

[mental acorn]

Can someone help me set up the G 29 for ETS

[red cape]

Set up ?

U got a wizard IN-GAME

Have u completed it ?

[mental acorn]

Yes

[red cape]

So whats wrong with it ?

[mental acorn]

The ets2 setting for the G 29

The steering wheel turns, she lures me into the game

^^

[pale cloud]

when i use the button to switch range gear 1 becomes 13 and gear 2 becomes 14 and the other gears dont work
1-6 gear is fine

how do i fix it

[ripe bolt]

that sounds weird, is it the first option of the two range switches that you are using?

like you have your gear positions, then your drive and reverse positions for the "real automatic setting", and then "switch modes" or something like that

one of them is for range, one of them is for high/low

I don't use range so I'm not too sure which one you are looking for, sorry

[ripe bolt]

?

hello 😄 when I steer with my steering wheel, it turns in completely at some point in the game, although I don't turn my steering wheel completely at all, which is very annoying in curves

[pastel hull]

.

[pliant comet]

Check your control configuration. In "Keys and Buttons" section of game's settings, check "Steer left" and "Steer right" functions. They must not be assigned to steering wheel. The steering wheel axis has to be assigned in "Controls" tab instead. Here's video I've made about that: https://youtu.be/Wzb_2K0em2E

[mighty idol]

just AMD stuff ig

[ancient compass]

How to achieve better performance with low end cpus

Core 2 Duo e8400

[agile ermine]

Even overclocking that thing to the moon won't turn it into a fast cpu

That is, if you can overclock it in the first place

You can optimize the software parts, by ensuring that you only have a minimum amount of softwares running in the background, but in the end it's only a core 2 duo, you won't get much out of it

[polar lance]

And I thought my old i5 was bad

[remote prism]

Mine is not bad, it's just cooking itself because of bad design at HP

[pliant comet]

You might think about cleaning the cooling system while replacing the thermal paste(if your PC uses it). Dried thermal paste won't conduct heat as good as fresh one. Also, cooling system needs to "breathe" in order to cool the system down.

[celest nova]

especially those could be OCed over 3.4GHz/3.6GHz easily. But heck, C2D era CPUs are way to slow.

[mighty idol]

at least get something with quad cores

although I know mine not really a quad cores

[remote prism]

I changed the thermal paste, I measured 40°C on numpad, the cooling vents are clean

But the fans are clicking

[agile ermine]

they might be a bit loose

happened to me with an hp laptop some years ago

[remote prism]

The fans? Or cooler?

[agile ermine]

the fans

[remote prism]

I have to check those

[modern siren]

how many fps you get

in calais

[simple citrus]

I bet 25

[mossy crown]

Not even the x3d

[sand valley]

I Wanted the x3d but it would've been over my budget

it was 615 EUR

[sand valley]

80

[raw hull]

should've waited for the 7800x3d

[mossy crown]

7800x3d would be better but yeah

not a game uses 16 cores or 32 threads

[sand valley]

i use the 7950X to render, compile code, etc.

[mossy crown]

ah

[sand valley]

thats why i went for that option

[raw hull]

fair enough

[rain pecan]

Anyone else having controller issues?
My PS5 controller doesn't get recognized by ETS2... anyone having a fix for this?

Using Steam, Windows 10.
I can use the controller to click on things in-game but when I try to bind keys it doesn't work.

[clever osprey]

Someone else has isses with steam connection? Won't let me connect, everything else works fine

[safe rivet]

Multiple people are having issues yes

[remote prism]

Try steam input

[spiral yew]

afaik xbox controllers are plug and play with no issues

[brisk olive]

Every time I launch ATS with mods in it and try to load up to do some loads, my game just closes on it's on. No errors, no freezing, no nothing... just straight up closes. Does anyone know why?

[polar lance]

Could be a out dated mod

[brisk olive]

But I have none installed. Anything else?

[polar lance]

Check file integrity

[brisk olive]

I did that too 😭

[polar lance]

Uhhh 😬

[brisk olive]

it's okay

Thanks for trying

[polar lance]

Make sure all the mods are uninstalled

[polar lance]

I’m half asleep 🤣

[brisk olive]

😂

I checked my workshop and files and they are clear. The issue is when I do install a mod, it just blatantly closes, but when I have no mods installed, the game runs perfectly fine with no issues. I want mods but I have to figure out why it does that when I install them.

[spiral yew]

if you aren't getting mods from the workshop the are most likely outdated

[arctic willow]

good evening, i am struggling with connecting my steering wheel properly (pxn v900). everytime i load into the game i have to figure out a new way to connect it. it connects after a time, but not the right way, it tells me that all my joy keys are missing. i would be very grateful if there is someone, who can help with my issue

[pliant comet]

Holding the MODE button for 3 seconds switches betwen Xinput mode(default) and Direct Input mode. For ETS2, switch the mode to Direct Input. Have you tried that? @arctic willow

[arctic willow]

i have indeed tried that multiple times, ingame then it tells me that this steering wheel isnt connected

do i need the driver support for advanced xbox features?

[arctic willow]

as soon as i switch to direct input ingame, it tells me that there was no controller found

[grizzled crow]

should of got a logitech

[foggy marten]

yesterday, I was playing ets2 with my steering wheel. I steered left and all the power in my room went out the psu from the steering wheel made popping sounds, then boom I was in full darkness, anyway somehow it still works with a different psu

that was quite the experience

I think something shorted in there

[sand valley]

[sand valley]

Can In-Game Officials Please Reach Me Privately?

[latent aurora]

That's not how it works tbh.

[pliant comet]

I guess that the bridge rectifier, which is inside the power supply has shorted out.

[proud needle]

no :p

[polar frigate]

Trucker MP please add support for mac.

[pliant comet]

There are major differences between Windows and MacOS operating systems. If your Mac has Intel CPU, you might consider using Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac without having to use virtual machine.

[real lake]

Apple almost never used amd CPU’s 😂

[agile ermine]

Intel and AMD aren't the only cpu manufacturers, you know

especially since Apple has been designing its own CPUs for a few years now

Key word “almost”

[final fjord]

i dont know if this is for this channel but can anyone tell me if the logitech driving force gt wheel is good? im planning to buy it

[rose meadow]

...you do realize PowerPC isn't AMD and that their newest models use ARM CPUs? Boot Camp only works with Intel-powered Mac(Book)s

[naive ocean]

isnt it like old

i got a g29

[latent aurora]

It is old, yes. If the budget is tight, take a G25/G27.

[naive ocean]

yh

my uncle has that one but i think you can only buy it second hand atleast heer in holland

[latent aurora]

Yeah, only used - but if it does look good, then give it a shot. I've got myself a G923 😄

[naive ocean]

isnt that almost the same as the gt29

g29

[latent aurora]

Kind of, but it's geardriven and not indirectly with a plate 🙂 Thus no rattling and better FFB imho

[naive ocean]

oohhhh

yh the g29 does it for me

[latent aurora]

Whatever floats your boat 🙂

[naive ocean]

yhh

am i able to play the game with a hori wheel

[calm nexus]

U should be able to

[ripe nexus]

my pc specs

planning to upgrade my gpu next

and my psu

[mighty idol]

very decent

[mossy crown]

Well for ets is even a new gpu overkill

Jesus a HDD in 2024

[latent aurora]

I also have a load HDDs still running - and as data storage its pretty okay

[mighty idol]

HDD for gaming nothing wrong with it

[sinful monolith]

quite a few newer games are starting to have SSD as a system requirement

but still good for plenty

[mighty idol]

as game become bigger in size 😬

[sinful monolith]

GPU memory capabilities grow, more textures can be streamed in and out faster, and the disk has to be able to accomodate

[mighty idol]

understandable

[latent aurora]

yeah, but as pure file storage like NAS HDDs are cheaper and better imho.

I, personally, think about upgrading to 6TB HDDs for each HDD I have got in my server.

[sinful monolith]

yeah I still have a 3TB one in my PC for mass storage

[latent aurora]

😅 got a little bit more

[nocturne thistle]

i need this :D

[latent aurora]

One HDD is 12 years old now - and still works super reliable

[vale pebble]

where is the classic C: Disk?

i dont have a big space ssd, but its okay

[latent aurora]

I just showed network adresses - I have two nvme ssds in my laptop though. each 500gb - one for windows + programs - one just for games

[trail pebble]

16gb ram sticks

[spiral yew]

what's wrong with 2 16GB sticks

[hot galleon]

is anyone experienced with trackir 5

cause i got a problem with the dector and the pro clip

[polar lance]

My c drive is a 1tb crucial

My hdd I have got to upgrade to one

[raw hull]

I have a 1tb nvme and I have like 500 GB sata SSD

I wanna use it but, I have to take out the PSU and attempt to plug in sata data cable on the mobo where I have barely any room 😭

[oak onyx]

not much here

[hot galleon]

hoping that someone will respond, the issue that is going on rn is the dector and the proclip not working at all, both at plugged into my computer. the dector doesnt turn on at all whenever i open the trackir app

yesterday, when i first turned it on, i saw the 2 red lights in it, but my proclip wasnt working at all. now, non of those arent working.

i was also playing ets2 with it 2 days ago and it was working perfectly fine and all of a sudden it just stopped working

[frozen mantle]

I hope you don’t have anything important saved on it 😂

[latent aurora]

actually.... I dunno

[frank venture]

Will the game runs on a i5 4790 and a 1050

[latent aurora]

Yes

[frank venture]

How much fps

[latent aurora]

Just don't expect it running 60FPS on super high settings - but if you can settle with 30 - 40 fps on mid settings, then ur good

[frank venture]

No 60+?

GTA 5 is at 90 fps on mid

[latent aurora]

Well, ETS2 got quite resource hungry

[frank venture]

Maybe 60 on low ?

Or is low ass

[latent aurora]

that should work

but I prefer a beautiful game and just 30 - 40 fps instead of crap but 60+ FPS

[agile ermine]

ETS2 isn't that hard to run, if you want consistent framerates you might not want to play with high settings, but yeah, it should be fine

TruckersMP might be a completely different story, though

[frank venture]

Wdym

[latent aurora]

Well, if you drive into congested areas, no change in the graphic settings will change anything regarding FPS 😄

[frank venture]

I will see. Buyed the game for 5€ yesterday. Want to buy a low end pc for games like lol and Valorant. Bcs I’m at PlayStation

[latent aurora]

I'd save up more to buy a somewhat half decent pc then

[frank venture]

No it’s fine 🥰

[agile ermine]

You shouldn't see any difference in areas without any players, but your framerate might drop as soon as there are other trucks around, and it will go all the way down to slideshow in very busy areas

don't expect the game to be anywhere near playable in places like Calais

[ripe nexus]

my HDD is pretty quiet

[latent aurora]

so are mine

just the fan is a bit louder, but that doesnt bother me

has some perks being half deaf

[ripe nexus]

i mainly use my m2 ssd

[vestal owl]

Installing Windows 7 in 2024

The specs:

[rose meadow]

Why..?

[vestal owl]

Trying

[latent aurora]

I don't think Windows 7 will run on that machine (too new components)

[vestal owl]

It is fully loaded

[latent aurora]

I tried it with a Ryzen 7 1700 back then and it wouldnt even start anything.

[vestal owl]

Do you want to give this iso via Archive?

There is

And yuh, ik I will go back to the newest Windows

But yeah

[rose meadow]

If anything the GPU should be the problem. x86 CPUs are (mostly) backwards compatible back to the 16-bit 8086 and even boot up in 16-bit mode for that reason

[vestal owl]

Like the keyboard and the mouse

[latent aurora]

nothing, every kept black after choosing booting from the USB...

choosing normal windows from C:// and everything went back to normal state

[vestal owl]

I reccomand this type of taskbar

[rose meadow]

Is that Romanian?

[vestal owl]

Sin that with the Windows 11, Microsoft removed this

[vestal owl]

Yes

[rose meadow]

Oh cool, managed to guess from just one word

[vestal owl]

Ye
That Search

I had Windows 8.1 apps on Windows 11 by simply upgrade the OS

Unpopular fact

[vestal owl]

And much feautures

I wanted to buy some parts for like 200 RON ( 40.10 euros ) for one computer.
AMD Athlon and something
8GB Ram
I needed to buy a gpu too for like 25-30 euros

Gotta mention that the parts is from Marketplace

[frank venture]

How much fps on R5 3600 and 1050ti 4gb?

[latent aurora]

the GPU is the same

[vestal owl]

Found an tutorial

[polar lance]

Get rid of the search and tab view icon and it’s clean

Especially with small taskbar icons, big ones are so bad

[vestal owl]

Okay

[hollow relic]

hello, my ets2 is not working, its crashing imediately after starting, this is going for about a month and i have tried about everything i could find. does anybody have any tips or ideas on how i can get it to work?

[rare siren]

Hey guys, is the Logitech G920 wheel and G27 shifter compatible?

[vestal owl]

Nope ( the information is from the Web )

Some say that yes

Olther sites no

[vestal owl]

And let's not forget about this feauture

[polar lance]

Yeah

For the g920

The g27 has its own version

[latent aurora]

You can use the G29/290 and G923 Shifter on G29, G290 and G923 but not the G27 Shifter on any newer model and vice-versa 😄

[frank venture]

Is 8gb ram enough for ets2

[hasty marlin]

Yes

[mighty idol]

just calais-duisburg big no no

otherwise no problem

[vestal owl]

Yes
If you run of lowest settings

And if you got the best graphics card, much better

And cpu

[frank venture]

I have a i5 6600 and 1060

Not a monster pc

[vestal owl]

Is ok for the medium

Ig

[vestal owl]

I recommend to not use V-sync for much fps ( sometimes useful, sometimes you will experience input lag )

[vestal owl]

Uhmm..
It’s normal that my PS4 can connect to my remote?

Ig I can play some games with the remote

[vestal owl]

For every time when I am at the school and I want to download smh

Now I use the Energy and Performance

[vestal owl]

Like it helps with the installation progress ( without automatic sleep )

[vestal owl]

And I have an feature on the TV that the PS4 is recognized

[mighty idol]

some weird figures when under load ion know

might fly to the moon even

[vestal owl]

GTA 6 gonna love these

[vestal owl]

Nice ( I have prebuilt, so I can’t personalize my PC )

[vestal owl]

Who uses Linux over here, recommend me an tweak to fix some errors

[simple citrus]

I wouldn't keep the lady on the gpu like that, she's gonna melt

[hollow pasture]

nahhh dont worry shes holding up fine 👀 plus my gpu honestly doesnt get that hot, but as soon as she does eventually start to melt she'll go on top of my monitor instead

[simple citrus]

okey

those backplates do get warm tho, the gpu temp your system shows is way different from the backplate temp

[hollow pasture]

yeah i once cooked an egg on my old 2070 super

[simple citrus]

I had the 2070 super aswell, the white one from uh gigabyte I think

was a great card

[hollow pasture]

yeah i had a gigabyte 3 fan, the cooling on it was dreadful but yes, still a great card considering the price you can pick them up for

[simple citrus]

friend of mine bought it, he runs cyberpunk on it still

I went full amd after that card

6900xt atm

[hollow pasture]

you know the only reason i didnt go amd is because they didnt have the 7900xt in stock at the time

so the 4070 was the next vbest thing, sure i coulda waited or even waited for the 4070 super but oh well

still absolutely crushes any game i throw at it

the 7950x3d is an absolute monster its scary

[simple citrus]

I wanted that Noctua 4070, the chonky brown beast

But it went out of stock so fast everywhere

and I didn't wanna spend a shit ton of money on a 4080 so I went amd

[hollow pasture]

Love that, the matching fans are so nice with it

[simple citrus]

oh wait I was wrong, it's the 4080 they made a noctua version of

yea, and I didn't want any other

prices were stupid high, I even paid 1200€ for the 6900xt I got now

looks like the noctua 4080 is back in stock tho lol

still 1500€

[agile ermine]

if your GPU's backplate is hot enough to melt plastic, you probably have bigger issues

and you might also need a fire extinguisher

[simple citrus]

[raw hull]

I mean it's aight, but AMD played an bad move with that

Because they knew people would buy the x3d chips for the top end, just assuming that they would be the best for gaming. I mean it's a fair assumption to make as well.

Only when the 7800x3d came out the weakness of the other 2 x3d chips for the 7000 series got revealed

[rose meadow]

What errors?

[vestal owl]

The freezing screen

And maybe if Proton works on the second drive ( I gave an chance, but I cannot, because of this problem )

[young tundra]

Hey guys Can someone help me, how I can get the best graphic quality ? What setting do you have in ETS2 ?

This i my AMD Software... but I'm not sure what to change

[vestal owl]

V-Sync off and on highest settings ( with some quality on low ) ( if I am right )

V-sync off helps you with the fps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg2ot5qMbzs
Check this tutorial ( btw can I put links here helpful with the graphics on games and much more? )

[young tundra]

In ETS2 everything is set to the highest but i think that there could be maybe more like I've seen on Photos and Videos of other players 😄 Of course I'm not sure, if my PC has the Power for that 😄

[young tundra]

Ahhh okay, that's cool !!

Perfect! Of course, yeah ! Thanks a lot !

I will watch the clip on YT and do some changes on settings for better graphic now 😄

[vestal owl]

Reasons why I am now back to Windows:

1. Proton and Wine stability

And yeah, an normal Bliss wallpaper

Romanian summer break

Mici, Mustard and much more

[young tundra]

[vestal owl]

I will buy an universal charger ( for Li-Ion batteries )

Old Samsung phone that the battery is well.. Not working

The port's fault= no ( is broken, but still I can charge the phone )
And the battery= Yes ( I tried with an Allview phone and it doesn't charge with that battery )

I always delete the Edge folder

[ripe nexus]

same lol

everytime it appears on my pc i delete it

my ram usage with discord open

[vestal owl]

Because the search uses Edge
And some on the Microsoft Store apps uses too

[ripe nexus]

i use the brave browser

[vestal owl]

I used too

Now Google Chrome

It consumes so much ram

Even OperaGX consumes MB of ram storage

And very low

[vestal owl]

With the apps open

[ripe nexus]

i used an detected ad blocker

ublock time

[vestal owl]

My experience with Brave wasn't bad, wasn't good.
It was at medium ( if I brought the setup file over Brave, my ram was rip )

[ripe nexus]

google is trying to make chrome to stop work with ad blockers

[vestal owl]

I don't say which

[vestal owl]

I heard that it can low your video quality by themself

Yup
I'm back

[ripe nexus]

look what youtube even done

[vestal owl]

It was this feature like 3 or 4 months ago

1080p, but premium
Strategic move

Not bad

I turned on the Memory Saver

what settings do you use with that

[median pine]

ultra

gotta feel it

[hoary smelt]

draw distance also?

[median pine]

max

[hoary smelt]

I think ultra takes too much fps for no purpose tbh

[median pine]

Many roads require high I think atleast thats what I use

When the road is clear/mild it randomly goes to 250-420

[median pine]

[hoary smelt]

4090

[median pine]

brah

[hoary smelt]

is ets2 more cpu or gpu intensive?

5.3K euros

but

[median pine]

holy shit

you just spend 5k for a gaming pc??!?!?

and you play ets2?!??!

[hoary smelt]

on local website with pc´s in SK they got a new pc for 5K with 4090 (ASUS white which is barely in stock) with a i9-14900kf+6200mhz ddr5+4tb+ 8 fans in total (mine has 4 help)

so I would say I got scammed hard

[median pine]

damn

how many cores wondering

[hoary smelt]

it was the new 2024 HAL 3000 build it got released like week after i got my pc

[hoary smelt]

cpu?

[median pine]

yaeh

lol

[median pine]

24 cores?!?!?

[hoary smelt]

what is a logical processor

huh

[median pine]

the average is 8

and you have 24

:0

[hoary smelt]

why does my cpu have base speed 3.00ghz

[polar lance]

yeah

[polar lance]

change it in the bios

[median pine]

nopw

[polar lance]

to what ever it can max up to

[median pine]

it is 5 ghz

DON'T

PLEASE

[hoary smelt]

on max but it is now set to 3.00 from stock

for some reason

[median pine]

that is overclocking don't do that

[median pine]

it because it doesn't have intense things to do

24 cores can manage a ton of things

[hoary smelt]

I still got scammed tho ngl

[median pine]

the only thing you are running is discord

[hoary smelt]

could have got so much better shit

[polar lance]

nothing wrong with overclocking lol

🤣

[median pine]

There is

you need a good cpu cooler

[hoary smelt]

until my aluminium panel cables say goodbye

[median pine]

it's a i9 13900kf

[polar lance]

i smell a IT novice in the chat

[median pine]

erm

[polar lance]

and?

[hoary smelt]

I dont need OC much

still puts fps easily

but still mad at the fact they released that monster a week later for less money

[polar lance]

he could easily clock it to 4ghz

[median pine]

its already over 5 ghz

[hoary smelt]

huh

[median pine]

base clock speed is 5 ghz

[hoary smelt]

base is now set at 3.00

what

[median pine]

no need for overclocking

[hoary smelt]

isnt 5.4 max turbo speed?

[median pine]

because your running discord it's not that intensive

[median pine]

idk

maybe

it can go up

[hoary smelt]

base speed is set, usage changes on the other info tab

[polar lance]

discord barley runs over 8% cpu

[median pine]

base speed is the average what it runs it can go above 5 ghz sometimes

my base speed is 3.60 ghz i am now at 4.50 ghz

[polar lance]

youre ram is being battered

[median pine]

ikr

[hoary smelt]

base speed still same im pretty sure its just set via bios

[median pine]

yeah

[polar lance]

eh

[hoary smelt]

my system uses 8-10 gb

[median pine]

lol

[polar lance]

systems just using what it wants lol

[hoary smelt]

fr

[median pine]

well

[hoary smelt]

bro is hungry fr

[median pine]

windows is hungry af

[polar lance]

i might upgrade to 32

[median pine]

taking 7 gb of ram is crazy

[hoary smelt]

my ram usage when playing minecraft is anywhere from 10 to 32

[polar lance]

i bet he still only gets 30 fps in calais

[hollow pasture]

32GB is a lord, and a saviour

[hoary smelt]

if everything max+ultra draw distance 30-40ish

if lower draw distance (high-medium) 50-80 ish sometimes

[polar lance]

outside of calais youd be on 100 ish

[hoary smelt]

based on how many ppl going there

[polar lance]

depends on how many trucks you got to render too

[hoary smelt]

why is bros base speed 4.20ghz bro I dont think u need that base speed

[polar lance]

might have stuff running

[hollow pasture]

I have not at all looked into that stuff yet but atm I got a load running

Discord, ETS, TMP, Trucksbook, and 2 head tracking softwares

[hoary smelt]

why is head tracking so popular

like my webcam broke when I even tried to move it

[median pine]

for realism

[hollow pasture]

Because if you set it up correctly it's actually the biggest realism upgrade you can do aside from buying a wheel

[median pine]

lol

[hoary smelt]

wheels expensive af for 0 reason tbh but I still want one

[hollow pasture]

Like the softwares I use are free, they took a lot of tuning to get right but it tracks perfectly

[hollow pasture]

True, but worth it trust me

[hoary smelt]

ik

which wheel is some good one

[hollow pasture]

Budget?

[median pine]

huh expensive?

i got mine for 100 bucks

on black friday

ez

[hollow pasture]

You can get a used T150 for under 100

[polar lance]

ive got the g29 with a the shifter and have had 0 problems

i want a moza tho

[hoary smelt]

0-300 I dont need much expensive

[hollow pasture]

Same here, I modded my shifter and its nice

[hoary smelt]

g29 or g920 are good

[median pine]

bro i have vxn steering wheels?

[hollow pasture]

T150/T150 Pro or and Logitech tbh!

[polar lance]

g29 has the mini shifter lcd on the top

g920 dont

[hollow pasture]

I bought a truck shifter for my G29 shifter and it adds a lot more to the realism

[polar lance]

12 + 2?

[hoary smelt]

Shifter?

[hollow pasture]

18 speed, set up as a 12+2

[hoary smelt]

Even more expensive

[hollow pasture]

As in compatible with 18 speeds

I'll send a pic hol up

[hoary smelt]

Where do you get a 18 speed shifter

[polar lance]

you can grab a g29 for 250 and a shifter for 40 by me

[polar lance]

aliexpress i think

same for the usb handbrakes

[hollow pasture]

Works really well to be honest

[hoary smelt]

2 monitors? Thats sum lifestyle

[hollow pasture]

3

[median pine]

erm

[hollow pasture]

Lol sorry haha

[median pine]

should i get a vertical monitor for coding?

[hoary smelt]

Using a FHD 390hz

[hollow pasture]

2 monitors is nice, 3 is even nicer

[hoary smelt]

My only monitor👍

[hoary smelt]

I think my gpu is living a good life

Loading only FHD

[hollow pasture]

It's thanking you

[hoary smelt]

Yes

How much monitors can 4090 do

3-5 ish?

[median pine]

20

[hollow pasture]

More I'd say lol

[hoary smelt]

I want second monitor so bad but I want to buy the wheel first

Like I could but I dont want to waste that much money at one moment

[hollow pasture]

Go wheel, pick up a used, cheap second monitor if you only plan on using it for like Discord or something

I picked up my little 21.5" vertical for legit £30, it's a heap of crap but its HD 60hz so it works alright

[hoary smelt]

Was thinking of curved 144 hz FHD/1440p

HD😟 FHD right?

[hollow pasture]

1920x1080 😬

[hoary smelt]

Fhd👍

[hollow pasture]

Oopsy

My main UW is 1440p 165hz and it's an absolute beast

You won't regret that combo

[hoary smelt]

1440p sounds cool

But 390hz fhd sounds cool also

So idk

[hollow pasture]

It's nice, just takes like 30% more perfomance out of your PC

[hoary smelt]

How is g29 better than g920

Me blind

[hollow pasture]

They're basically the same thing, G920 Xbox compatible, G29 PS compatible. But G29 has a shift light indicator and more buttons

If you're just using it for PC I would get the G29

[hoary smelt]

Ok

[polar lance]

gotta have more then 1

🙂

[hollow pasture]

Always

[polar lance]

i want a third

[hollow pasture]

Do it, I have 2 horizontals and a vertical

Actually the best purchase ever

[polar lance]

need a new monitor arm

this is only a dual

[hollow pasture]

Worth it still

Buy one that allows you to have 2 on top of eachother

[polar lance]

could do

eerr

[ripe nexus]

my old cpu was an i5 6400

[ripe nexus]

a 5090 soon lol

[hollow pasture]

Not bad

[ripe nexus]

i got bottlenecked by that cpu

so i got the ryzen 5 5600 and now it runs smooth

[hollow pasture]

The 5600 is a beast for its price

[ripe nexus]

yh

32GB ram

when i have ets 2 closed and only discord open it only uses 2gb ram

and yes i have microsoft edge deleted

[wooden sail]

hey guys, wondering where i can get a decent left hand 18 speed shifter, um uk based and most online and esty is right hand. TIA

[hollow pasture]

Hey! This is the one I bought and it works great in every way, it uses USB it can work with virtually any wheel. It's a little pricey but it's 100% worth it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gearshift-Truck-Logitech-THRUSTMASTER-Shifter/dp/B093WN8H8N/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2WGPPL8F9PA5P&keywords=truck+shifter&qid=1706185097&sprefix=truck+shifte%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-4

I've got it set up as a UK left shiter and it feels natural

[wooden sail]

that looks good cheers for the link

[hollow pasture]

*very easy to configure too, has an extra button on the top which I've bounded to handbrake

[wooden sail]

good to hear, ive also found this https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/674769988/bouton-game-shifter-ets-ats-pour?click_key=f8edfa1a7dacb95d39cf515c2a0fa63347c0d503%3A674769988&click_sum=c8185f92&ref=hp_rv-1 i think it can be printed to RHD uk setup

[vestal owl]

I knew about one app that uninstalls all of Windows apps ( MS Store included )

[raw hull]

Fact

Got mine for £94

[hollow pasture]

That's nuts

Any bent pins that you fixed or did it come perfect?

[raw hull]

Came perfect

They packaged it really well

[hollow pasture]

Gaw damn

That is good

Makes me feel sadge about paying like £600 for me 7950x3d

[vestal owl]

And it doesn't work

Yeah
And starting by today the Discord Nitro is expired

Oh
Already

Microsoft just being Microsoft part 1

How to give 1 euro to one single extension?

Which VLC or olther programs can give free?

[sinful monolith]

it's because HEVC's patents are owned by a licensing company that extorts use of the video format

it's been a big driver behind av1's development and relatively fast adoption

[vestal owl]

Now I installed VLC

[vestal owl]

Oh

This app can be useful if you want to uninstall MS Edge

Yeah
So useful

Or I can just by default and I am so 1000iq?

https://www.techsupportall.com/uninstall-built-apps-windows-10/
This tutorial can be more useful for begginers

[severe sage]

Although Edge isn't a browser i use often I'm not sure I could be bothered to go to those lengths to delete it

[vestal owl]

Yes
Just to install olther browsers xD

[mighty idol]

lolol

meanwhile me using edge everyday instead of chrome

[vestal owl]

Okay

The best screenshot tool available on Steam

[vestal owl]

For this

[polar lance]

[red juniper]

Hello. I need a bit of help with my ETS2 files, on my old SSD, I had everything from ETS2 saved on it, now as I have got a new SSD, when I try launch ETS2, keep in mind I have logged into my steam account and logged back into everything, now all of my stuff from ETS2 that were on my old SSD isn't on the new one, I am back at the start where I get to choose a profile, company, etc. How can I get all of my files back if anyone can help me?

I have transferred everything from my old SSD to my new one, and it is still the same, like whatever I do, I haven't got my account back?

[severe sage]

How did you transfer everything? Did you use steams tool to move your games?

[red juniper]

No

I transferred it via file explorer,

I transferred the whole ETS2 file from steam through file explorer,

[severe sage]

Hmm. I'm not 100% sure about that as it's not the recommended way of doing it.

Someone may correct me here but unfortunately unless you've used steam cloud or have another backup you might have lost all progress permanently, as some steam games, which may include ETS2, store save data in different areas. That's why you should always use the official steam file transfer than just copying and removing the old folder.

[vestal owl]

You need to install on that SSD ( like he says )

Not to transfer, and to put in that SSD the installation

[flint egret]

Did you transfer the ETS2 file from the documents folder as well?

[red juniper]

yes

[red juniper]

yes i have

[dark drift]

Anyone know how to make a smooth transition between applications? I can send a video of what I mean

[grizzled crow]

u dont need steam for it yano

[vestal owl]
