tech

[lean rapids]

which is 10x18

take the gaps

its clos eneough

[frozen mantle]

Think I’m about to upgrade finally, not sure yet

[lean rapids]

ur phone?

what you got now

[frozen mantle]

Reorganising, bout time I get rid of a 1080p monitor with my new gpu

[lean rapids]

oh

ohh

what gpu??

[frozen mantle]

Oh no my phones 4k

[lean rapids]

what phone have you got-

[frozen mantle]

Went from a RX570 to a 7900XT

[frozen mantle]

14 pro

[lean rapids]

i went from internal graphics to 1650 to better internal graphics

[lean rapids]

wait

14 pro is 4k??
s

since when

[frozen mantle]

Since forever

I think even the 10 was 4k

[lean rapids]

no

the 14 pro is like

nearly 1440p

1179x2556

i think my phone is 1080x1340

2400*

even the 16 pro max is only 1320x2868...

[frozen mantle]

Well yes cause it can never really be 4k

Cause that’s 16:9

[lean rapids]

true

could cram more pixels in there

but yk

[frozen mantle]

iPhone is 19:9?

Something like that

[lean rapids]

I wonder what the huawei mate xt fold is

or whatever its called

mate xt ultimate

2232x3184

[frozen mantle]

It’s a 7 inch display if you can tell the difference between 1440 and 4k I’ll give you a freddo

[lean rapids]

i have perfect vision

eh

just give me a nasa grade microscope

and ill give it a shot

[frozen mantle]

😂

[lean rapids]

lol

time for truckersmp on my i7 8700 and no gpu :D

[gilded tree]

Guys I have a 27 inch 165 hertz monitor will it work with beam eye tracker on ets2

[lean rapids]

im sorry what

i would recommend

quest 3

and 4080 ti super

[gilded tree]

What’s all that lol

Like would this work fine to

[lean rapids]

ideal truck sim

[gilded tree]

I have a second 27 inch to

[lean rapids]

i have like

27" 1080p 60hz

[gilded tree]

I got the same but 165hz

[lean rapids]

oh

what gpu

[gilded tree]

So with beam eye tracker it’s fine?

Uhm

Idk rn

[lean rapids]

idk eye tracking :)

[polar lance]

Booo mines the pro max 😉

[lean rapids]

im sorry?

[lean rapids]

whats the difference-

is it just the size

and battery

or what

[polar lance]

Tbh of the top of my head the screen size, battery and maybe the processor but not sure

[frozen mantle]

Oh no! I didn’t pay £300 more for less than an inch, whatever will I do!

[lean rapids]

lol

[polar lance]

I brought mine for £560 new

[gilded tree]

Lemme look what I got on the internet

[polar lance]

Sealed box

[lean rapids]

iphone is only expensive for the half eaten apple logo

and its software

[polar lance]

Meh

I’d rather it then an android

[lean rapids]

cant launch task manager??

[lean rapids]

one questiopn

whats wrong with android

[polar lance]

I’ve experienced both and the s20 I had was laggy as hell for 0 reason

[lean rapids]

..

the hell did you do to it

the s20 is a decent phone-

for 2020

[polar lance]

Phone was optimised, ram and storage fine and had a reset and was still the same so got rid

[lean rapids]

wow

the s21+ has been great for me but as i got it cheap refurbished, the battery sucks

[polar lance]

I do like the s25 ultras tho my dads got one

[lean rapids]

so i wanna get a brand new s24FE

[lean rapids]

its just crazy pricey

[frozen mantle]

I’ve had mine since release 🤷‍♂️

[polar lance]

Yeah I know

[lean rapids]

yea

[polar lance]

Hmmm

I’d pay contract prices if I wanted a new 16 pro max but I’m not a fan of the camera control thing

I know that would get in my way so much 🤣

[gilded tree]

Iam in bed

[frozen mantle]

What’s the benefit?

[gilded tree]

https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/aoc-g2-24g2spae-full-hd-ips-gaming-monitor-165hz-g-sync-compatible-24-inch/9300000089051111/?bltgh=kPjfn2Lrmc2SZUFrjUhI1w.sEmqgg8f2o0l3GrTWshPeA_0_16.21.ProductPageUrl

[polar lance]

Better camera

[lean rapids]

it's legit thr same phone you've got already tho

[gilded tree]

This is the one I got

[lean rapids]

plus like 2 megapixels on the camera

[polar lance]

Practically yeah

[frozen mantle]

I used to upgrade every year, been 2 years and there’s no difference apart from a annoying button

[polar lance]

I mean the processor is probably better for 8 ball pool but that’s about it

[lean rapids]

and that's mobile megapixels, to a proper camera that'd be more like an extra 0.005mp

[frozen mantle]

I can play san Andrea on my pro perfectly fine

[polar lance]

Action button isn’t nice tho I’d rather the mute button

[gilded tree]

I just wonder if it’s like big enough to rn eyetracker on it decently

[lean rapids]

only non mobile game I've tried to run on the s21+ is fortnite-

pretty solid 50-70fps

but it's an exynos chip so what'd I expect

[polar lance]

My mates got a 16 pro max we was comparing but the way I hold my phone id be tapping the camera control button all the time

[lean rapids]

lol

then if you break it, you gotta pay the price of the phone as it's built into the frame 😭

[flint egret]

I upgrade my phone like every 3-4 years

[polar lance]

Yeah it’s mad how they’ve worked it out that way

[lean rapids]

fairs.

I upgrade when I break em

then I got a samsung

[polar lance]

I don’t break phones (touchwood) now

[lean rapids]

I've got a hole in my screen

[frozen mantle]

Probably what I’ll do now, my battery is surely dying on my current phone, not sure if to hang in till the 17 or just replace the battery

[polar lance]

Tbh I’ve never broke one

[polar lance]

Apple care it if it’s under 80

Pay for a month get it done and cancel easy

[frozen mantle]

I don’t have Apple care, it’s a near 3 year old phone

[polar lance]

You should still be able to get it

[lean rapids]

replace the battery, waste to buy a new one

or get a 15 brand new

I'm personally a fan of the 15 plus

[frozen mantle]

Sure, but I’d be upgrading to a new one and passing mine down

[lean rapids]

ah

[polar lance]

I’d say go to the boss man down the road but they give you a nice little dodgy battery

[lean rapids]

real

[polar lance]

My battery health is at 85 which is meh for how much I use it

[frozen mantle]

Nah, I’ll only go genuine

Lasted long enough

[lean rapids]

can't check battery health on samsung..

[polar lance]

Same thing I said to my brother, I don’t mind paying the 80 for it I think it is

[frozen mantle]

Think mines 95

Prob a bit more for a max

[flint egret]

I'll probably get my battery changed soon

[lean rapids]

chat

should I get a contract s24fe OR get my s21+ screen and battery replacemed

replaced*

[frozen mantle]

Get a new phone or spend £300 on a old one you could just trade in

Seems like a no brainier to me

[lean rapids]

I spent 213.62 on this current one

was an upgrade from moto g13

even the camera app crashed

super unoptimized,

downloaded games you don't want even without you asking

but flagships, none of that bs.

[polar lance]

I know what I’d do with this

[lean rapids]

wut

[flint egret]

Luckily I got a fairly new screen, it got replaced last year due to it falling from my work trucks cabin (still was fully functional ) and a new battery costs 69.99€ so it's worth it to get it swapped

[polar lance]

I’d of broke it

[polar lance]

What phone gave you got

[lean rapids]

I want to get the s24fe as it's top performance for lowest price, but the s24+ has such nice tiny bezels :((

[polar lance]

Try snag a second hand one that’s in good condition

[lean rapids]

whatever, I've dealt with those atrocious chins on phones for years

[lean rapids]

bad battery is likely.

[polar lance]

We sold a s23 + for 280 which was in box condition

[lean rapids]

..

sell to me.

now.

[polar lance]

Already gone

[flint egret]

S23 Ultra

[polar lance]

Bet the screen was a bit for that

[flint egret]

It was free (insurance covered it completely)

[polar lance]

Oh that’s good then

[lean rapids]

nic3.

how much you paying?

ika go to sleep actually

cya

[flint egret]

Paying for what? The phone? I paid 899€ for it back in late 2023, brand new. 512gb version as well

[lean rapids]

how much was the insurance then

included in the 899?

if so, that's really cheap.

[flint egret]

Travel insurance, it was ~40€/year

[lean rapids]

wow

[flint egret]

I'm not planning to upgrade yet due to the phone working perfectly fine and the pictures still look great (unedited photo taken with the 12mb camera, so not even the best one)

Camera is a important aspect for me in a phone, so I don't have to carry my professional camera with me everywhere

[lean rapids]

most photos for me use only 7pm

mp

when I have 64

[flint egret]

I got 12, 50 and 200 megapixel cameras on my phone

[lean rapids]

I've got 10,12,12,64

[lean rapids]

10,10,12,12,200

200mp main sensor, 10mp 3x telephoto, 10mp 10x periscope telephoto, 12mp ultrawide, 12mp front facing camera

[flint egret]

But even with the 200 megapixel camera, it's no match for the professional camera (example photo of the professional camera quality)

[lean rapids]

as mobile megapixels are much much smaller than camera megapixels.

the 200mp on phones is more like 12.5mp on cameras.

[flint egret]

Yup. I love the fact that the professional camera was able to capture the heater elements in the mercedes badge, which I wasn't even aware of them existing when I took the photo

[lean rapids]

wow

Anyway goodnight

[marble tinsel]

Hey y’all, any suggestions for a decently priced wheel to get for a first time?

Not too knowledgeable about this since I’m just now getting into it and wanted some advice or suggestions

[flint egret]

Elaborate decently priced

[marble tinsel]

$350 or less

[flint egret]

Moza R3 is the best value for that price if you're looking at brand new ones.
Moza R5 or Fanatec CSL DD if you're willing to go second hand

[marble tinsel]

Awesome, thank you. I’ll look into these, I appreciate it

[agile ermine]

sensor size is what matters, 200Mp is just marketing bs at this point, especially when you consider that 5-figure professional cameras rarely exceed 50Mp

[flint egret]

I know that. But I've noticed a huge difference between the 12Mp and 200Mp when it comes to smaller details

[simple citrus]

probably need the 200MP in order to zoom 100x

I just tested my phone lol
I take photos in 4:3
1x zoom was 12,58MP
6x zoom was 17,31MP
120x zoom was 15,93MP

1x and 6x will probably be two different lenses

but then the 120x mixes both? idk

software mess

[lean rapids]

yea

[lean rapids]

decent results so who cares

[lean rapids]

120x??

this is no samsung

this is.. xiaomi

[simple citrus]

Oneplus actually, didn't even know it went upto 120

[lean rapids]

same thing

I have iphone

way better than oneplus

iphone 13 mini

[simple citrus]

ye way better

[lean rapids]

oneplus and samsung suck

you should get iphone

[simple citrus]

I don't have to charge my phone twice a day tho

[lean rapids]

iphone cameras are better

and ios

and no face id on android

[simple citrus]

so then how do I open my phone with my face

[lean rapids]

at least iphone has more memory

[simple citrus]

no it doesn't

xd

[lean rapids]

yeah it does

[simple citrus]

nuh uh

[dawn peak]

ios vs android battle in 2025 is wild

[simple citrus]

yea people still believe iphones are ahead

[lean rapids]

ios way better

[dawn peak]

thats an opinion

[simple citrus]

I'd like to see you install an app that's not on the istore

[lean rapids]

I can do that

I have the right software

[vernal crystal]

european union made that possible in europe

[simple citrus]

like they forced apple to use usb-c

[lean rapids]

what can't I do

[simple citrus]

[lean rapids]

USB c is superior

[vernal crystal]

not if i have to replace the cable twice in 4 months

[simple citrus]

but then they went and made a usb-c to audio jack cable that cost 35$

[lean rapids]

ok ok I might not have more memory

but

I have wireless charging

magsafe

[simple citrus]

android had wireless charging before iphone did

but ok

[lean rapids]

at least iphone has
Apple logo

[simple citrus]

that it does

[dawn peak]

if u carry ur phone always by holding the cable then yes

[lean rapids]

and faster chip

[vernal crystal]

lets not forget this https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/how-to-use-powershare-on-your-galaxy-phone/

[simple citrus]

not faster refrseh rate tho

[lean rapids]

we have 120

[simple citrus]

real

[lean rapids]

I have that

[dawn peak]

so does android

[vernal crystal]

nah, the metal bit broke because someone pulled that too hard out

[simple citrus]

took iphone a while to have 120 tho, android had it for years

[lean rapids]

what does android have that's BETTER than iphone

[simple citrus]

battery

cables

[lean rapids]

my battery is goos

it's like

11mAh

[simple citrus]

lmao

yea it is

accurate

[lean rapids]

I'm messing with you

[simple citrus]

[lean rapids]

L iphone

hate the oversimplified software

[simple citrus]

is for nubs

[lean rapids]

real

my headteacher got an s25 ultra from the iphone 11

[simple citrus]

nubs who drive electric cars

[lean rapids]

she said it's because it was cheaper

and she doesn't know how to use it

should I take it from her

[simple citrus]

no the volume buttons fall of

[lean rapids]

actually¿ 😭

[simple citrus]

on the s25 yea

[lean rapids]

lol

s24fe, thoughts?

[simple citrus]

I don't like samsung, too much ecosystem apps like iphone

[lean rapids]

I just like the snappy software really

[simple citrus]

I'd change to google pixel if I got tired of oneplus

[lean rapids]

I'm a fan of the pixel 7/8

[simple citrus]

getting real tired of these big camera bumps

[lean rapids]

pixel has huge camera bumps

[simple citrus]

not a huge circle tho

[lean rapids]

apart from the 9a, which is JUST camera bum0

[lean rapids]

true..

[simple citrus]

phones are getting too heavy aswell

mine's 220g but feels like 400

the pixel 9 pro xl is also 219g xd

heavy ah phones

S25 ultra is also 218g

iphone 16 pro max weighs 227g

I love how Xiaomi has like 3 phone brands

[lean rapids]

eh

[lean rapids]

ew

[lean rapids]

redmi, poco, xiaomi

I had a redmi a1 for about 3 weeks

it corrupted

[simple citrus]

[lean rapids]

lol

[mighty idol]

that phone is trash

with their android go

it randomly factory reset out of nowhere on my moms

||2 times btw||

[simple citrus]

[mighty idol]

the hard plastic is cool tho

considered getting the A2 which got a fingerprint sensor but the specs generally trash

even my potato helio is better

[lean rapids]

duh

no wonder it corrupted

then i got a uh

motorola g13

which i had for a few months, then bought a refurbished s21+

[calm bear]

Hello i baught my self somme new g920 pedals but they are invearted in the game like gas is brake and brake is gas

[lean rapids]

then go on the game control settings and switch the controls around

apologies for the 4h delay.

[bold mica]

In the us t mobile is rolling out a very early beta for satellite phone plans, I obviously joined because I love new tech, but the only downside is it’s with starlink, but as much as I hate starlink, it’s my only way to show support for this tech to hopefully wait for more companies to try this

[lean rapids]

oh

[wary oxide]

Hey Why am i not able to speak!!!

[lean rapids]

wdym

[azure sorrel]

Guys what is like the minimum of specs to run truckersmp on ultra settings

[spiral yew]

rtx 7090, 17th gen i9 but in reality there is no minimum spec cause the ats game engine is so outdated plus the game was never made to run a mp mod like truckersmp

[agile ermine]

yeah, a 7-8yo gaming pc will do fine in solo ETS2/ATS, but when it comes to TruckersMP there isn't a single pc that can handle the busiest spots

[azure sorrel]

Okay thanks!

[lean rapids]

6th gen i7, 16gb ddr4

don't really need a gpu, I'm fine without it.

I've got an 8th gen i7 tho.

[latent aurora]

For ultra you need a GPU...

No way an iGPU would run the Game on Ultra

[unkempt ridge]

Especially on TMP xD

[agile ermine]

Maybe a Radeon 780M, but nothing below that

I believe the game itself isn't as easy to run as it used to be, in the reworked areas

[latent aurora]

It got way harder to run on lightweight hardware, yeah

[lapis wadi]

@latent umbra

What is this? I'm getting 16gb storage by divine powers?

[latent umbra]

Contact me on dm

[lean rapids]

I didn't see him say ultra

whoops

[lean rapids]

what kinda phone is that

[lapis wadi]

Poco

[lean rapids]

ah

[latent aurora]

@lean rapids u blind?

[lean rapids]

yes I'm blind

Specsavers says I have perfect vision

whatever that means

[tropic ermine]

what to best controllor or streel wheel

[polar lance]

Do you mean what’s better

I’d say wheel but some say controller it’s opinion. Definitely get yourself a wheel id say.

[tropic ermine]

i got controller i slow steel wheel when trun left or right

[polar lance]

You can change that pretty sure in the gameplay or controls settings

[tropic ermine]

yh idk which set on settinngs

[gaunt ether]

In controls, you can use controller for sensitivity, non-linearity and animation range for steering. And in controller axes you can customise axis deadzone if you'd like a delay with gas brake and steering.

[tropic ermine]

okay i don kkow how speed on road lol i try my beat

[rain heron]

question guys.. i am looking at a PXN V9 GEN2, or shall i look at the logitech 920 ?
plz anyone recommend ? my fingers on the buy now.. i have a limit of 200-300.

[frozen mantle]

G920

[rain heron]

ok soooo @frozen mantle after talking in ets chat, i'm eaither looking at the g920 or the g29..

[frozen mantle]

G29 has more buttons is compatible with PlayStation, G920 is compatible with xbox.

G923 is a waste of money

[rain heron]

ok soo for pc and mainly ets2.. which one would you recommend ?

i have money toooo burnnnnn..

[dawn peak]

me with a g923 just because of the nice all-black PS edition

[rain heron]

@frozen mantle

[frozen mantle]

G29, buy it from somewhere with a good returns policy like Amazon

[rain heron]

g923 is a little out of my budjet...

@frozen mantle sold !!! g29 it is 😉

and yes its amazon

[dawn peak]

btw, G920 is a next-gen G27, while G923 is a next-gen G29

[rain heron]

REALLY good price on both atm... and can't decide

[frozen mantle]

Perfect, my first one broke within a year, second came broken and 3rd has been fine for 3 years. Amazon replace it twice no problems

[frozen mantle]

It’s hardly next gen, it’s just a g29 for more money

[rain heron]

plz dont confuse me... 😛 i'm too old..

so for ets g29...

[dawn peak]

well, technically it has TrueForce which is only supported in like 5 games

[frozen mantle]

So not worth the money

[frozen mantle]

Yep

[dawn peak]

I only got it because I liked the design

that's all tbh

[rain heron]

@frozen mantle how difficult is the g29 to set up on the pc ?

i now nothing about wheels

[frozen mantle]

You can also get a T300RS gt but that’s a bit more expensive taht the 29 and I’m not sure if it’s worth the money

[dawn peak]

you just download the Logitech G Hub and you're basically done

[frozen mantle]

Easy, pedals comment to the wheel and only requires 1 usb to pc & g hub

[dawn peak]

oh yea and that hardware-wise

[rain heron]

the g29 on amazon is for 179.99 spring deal.. same as the 920.. half price off.. plz the g29 ??

[frozen mantle]

For that money you can’t go wrong

[rain heron]

i'm a male..and old.. i'm wrong alot 😛

well my wife tells me taht

[frozen mantle]

Nah that a very reasonable price

Oh your wife probably won’t be happy about this purchase 😂

[rain heron]

nope... 😛

i bought the superdrive 750gs a while back.. tried it one and binned it.. so yeh..

when u get to my age.. patience is bliss..

not..

ok bought... tyvm for the advice 😉

[flint egret]

And G27 is the next gen G25

[rain heron]

oh god plz dont confuse me.. did i do the right thing ?

[dawn peak]

I don't got the knowledge as far as G25

[flint egret]

I still got a G25 at home

The pedals are in my cars trunk. Have been for the last year

[dawn peak]

give it a few more years and it'll be something museums would be interested in

[dawn peak]

g29 is perfectly fine 😉

[flint egret]

They'll probably be butchered this summer

[rain heron]

god... thanks !!

[dawn peak]

oh yikes

[flint egret]

Tbh, G29 is the bare minimum when it comes to new wheels

[dawn peak]

true

[rain heron]

well i bought it.. i could ahve gone higher.. whats the next model for a sakable price ?

scuse my english..

[flint egret]

I'd personally use the G29 for a year or two and then if you feel like it, jump to a direct drive setup. It's a night and day difference, plus a lot more quieter

[rain heron]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00YUOVBZK?psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp

this is what i just bought

[modern kernel]

uhh the g29 is the same with the g923 only the brake and clutch feel different.. the g923 has a new tactile vibration but only works in certain games(not ets)

buy the g29 its the same essentially

i got the g923 because it was newer and only 20$ more expensive in my country

[rain heron]

done...bought 😉 thanks for the advise guy's 😉

[modern kernel]

dont call your self old in ur mid 20s lol

[rain heron]

late 50's 😉 with leg issues 😛

[modern kernel]

it is a totally different experience buy a shifter too

it costs 45$

[modern kernel]

come on you dont sound like 50

[rain heron]

was looking at a ahifter.. 30 here..

shifter'

[modern kernel]

shifter is a game changer

even though you can change the gear then press the clutch in ets

[rain heron]

was thinking of getting used to the wheel first before the shifter just incase i throw this wheel out...

i have short patience...

[modern kernel]

for normal driving it will last a lifetime

[modern kernel]

you download ghub from https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/innovation/g-hub.html

and then u can control the wheel's settings

[rain heron]

i bought the superdrive 750gs a while back.. lasted 2 minutes..

[modern kernel]

thats a toy compared to the logitech.. logitech feels premium

[rain heron]

mental note... toy's can also fly..

[modern kernel]

it has force feedback and etc so the wheel acts as if you were driving a real truck

[modern kernel]

So the wheel took a flight?

[rain heron]

<<ex trucker.. busted my leg in work...

very much yes aggelos

ruptured my achilles.. yeh.. that was 2 years ago..

so now i want to truck from home in safety... 😉

[modern kernel]

you have unlocked all of the achievments

are you better now?

[rain heron]

lmao... i got no words..

nope.. that went to achilles tendonitis to tarsal tunnel

[modern kernel]

wow

[rain heron]

to this day still can't walk

[modern kernel]

you can drive though

we will see you in simulation one sometime for sure

[rain heron]

not irl.. gave up my license 😛 sim only 😉

[modern kernel]

yea sim is the next option

sim is a great way to spend time

[rain heron]

issue now is that i have to cope with my wife's and daughter's driving...

i have grey hair now...

[modern kernel]

a friend has gray hair in his mid 20s what does that mean?

its mostly from anxiety

[rain heron]

he lets his gf drive..

[modern kernel]

oh thats reasonable

[rain heron]

i suffer from anxiety aswell.. its not pretty..

[modern kernel]

anxiety will be gone the the g29

[rain heron]

but all good, thanks for everything.. tie to watch a film 😉

[modern kernel]

see you brother

we will wait for u in simulation one for a group ride if ur up to

[rain heron]

lol i usually twitch calais to duisburg.. idiot drivers vs reports vs admins

[viral token]

could someone help me real quick?

i have an issue with my ats

i have created several accounts a few years back and even connected them to World of trucks and the tmp website but they arent showing up ingame

i have approx 80 hours on the two profiles but none are showing up ingame

[outer agate]

Hello there I have some issues regarding performance

My rig
Rtx 4070 palit
Ryzen 5 5600 x
16 gb ram

At the moment I expierence some framdrops at larger cities. But this wasn’t the case a few weeks ago.

Lowering the shadow quality didn’t work. And all backround stuff is closed

[lean rapids]

to what frames?

[outer agate]

At peak to 30 frames

[lean rapids]

thats a lot

your pc is working fine

[outer agate]

Yeah I didn’t experience this before had the same issue in ATS

[lean rapids]

same city? same player count?

i average 2fps in calais, just to let you know.

[outer agate]

In ETS 2 I can easy repdroduce the drops

Duisburg and Munich

For example

[lean rapids]

duisburg is laggy in general

havent been to munich so i wouldnt know

[outer agate]

But this wasn’t the case before.

Both games running rock solid but now every Time I entered a city the frames drops

[lean rapids]

eh

experiencing different temps in your pc?

[outer agate]

Nope. Same as every time round about 43celcius

[lean rapids]

thats odd

[outer agate]

And my vends are not even in for work

Running at 1230 rpm as it should

[lean rapids]

i have no clue

i just have a psu on the verge of exploding, no output on my gpu and an i7 8700

[agile ermine]

so does everyone else, as soon as you're in a busy area don't expect too much from the game engine

[outer agate]

Hm. And the strangest thing is, running the game just on full hd

[lean rapids]

thing is, apparently he was getting better frames a few weeks ago in the same places

soo

[lean rapids]

1080

[outer agate]

I know but the problem is, that I hadn’t this before

[agile ermine]

the place isn't the issue, it's the number of players around

[outer agate]

This 👍

[lean rapids]

yeah, thats why i asked uh

[outer agate]

I am playing solo

[lean rapids]

,,

[lean rapids]

ohh

in normal game, not tmp

[outer agate]

No mp nothing

[agile ermine]

ah, thats different then

[lean rapids]

same concept though

[outer agate]

No mods just vanilla and all dlc

[lean rapids]

err

[agile ermine]

maybe optimization issues introduced with the last patch ?

[lean rapids]

could it be extra lights or so on the front of your truck?

[agile ermine]

nah, thats usually a TMP issue

[lean rapids]

i found i had a LOT of lag with lotsa lights on base ets2

finally its letting me join tmp

[outer agate]

Could it be helpful when I reproduce the issue and send an screen from the NVIDIA systemviewer?

[lean rapids]

time to suffer in calais from the vast amount of players

[outer agate]

Will post tomorrow perhaps it show something for you. For my apologies in advance am far from a good person when it comes to pc specs.

Just basic knowledge: 😅

[lean rapids]

you know enough

im sure better people at computers will magically appear soon enough to assist you with your issue

[outer agate]

Thanks a lot. Have a nice evening guys will get in touch tomorrow

[lean rapids]

• suffering from frame drops in cities
• frame drops did not occur a few weeks ago
• no mods, all dlcs
• 4070, r5 5600x, 16gb ddr4
• setting changes attempted and did not help
• base ets/ats, not tmp

[agile ermine]

oh, by the way, have you tried to roll back the game to 1.53 ?

to see if the issue is related to the 1.54 update ?

[uncut quartz]

Hello, i need help with the display size.

[unkempt ridge]

Describe your problem more detailed.

[uncut quartz]

The Best way i can describe it is it's zoomed in..Can we get in a vc and i can show?

[unkempt ridge]

No

[uncut quartz]

oh.

[unkempt ridge]

You can provide Screenshots of that "zoomed in".

[uncut quartz]

okay

Thats all i see

I cant see the right side of my screen

[unkempt ridge]

Do you have that "zoomed" in at the Desktop too or just while being at the Login Screen?

[uncut quartz]

Just ETS2.

[uncut quartz]

Its zoomed in the game as well

[unkempt ridge]

Since when is it like this?

[uncut quartz]

just now

[unkempt ridge]

Try restarting your PC or so I'd say

[uncut quartz]

already did

[severe sage]

It could potentially be a scaling or resolution issue, I'd check your settings just to make sure theyre either at the recommended or default settings. If you have multiple monitors also make sure there isn't interference there

[uncut quartz]

already checked all that

i dont know if its because i played with the game version because the 1.54 update and stuff i had to play with it, thats when it got weird

[tulip coral]

Ah, guys whats that. Why my 5 year old 7.1 headphone have really so much hot silicons on cables WWHYYY.
Its not repaired any time And Im the first opener(I think so..)

[polar lance]

Most likely to keep it in place

[tulip coral]

Ye but solder is enough I think, cables are already attached to case

[polar lance]

Not always enough tbh

[lean rapids]

yeah a lot of stuff is just glued down rather than soldered

proper common I'd say

[west ice]

Which graphic card good for ets2?

[flint egret]

Any modern gaming GPU

[small salmon]

Need some guidance, im looking to get into ATS. I have purchased the Logi 923 and and still need to get a shifter. As a current CDL holder, i know that most shifters on trucks have a splitter on the shifter. I have looked at many brands on amazon and other dark corners of the web. What would be the best buy to obtain one and where should i be looking?

[bold mica]

I went on chatgpt for my usual stuff and I got a pop up that said they updated their image generation so I had generated me a few images and it’s getting too real

First glance looks real but when I zoom in is when I can find the imperfections

[wraith sleet]

the logitech shifter

its MADE for ur wheel

oh the splitter

i saw some logitech shifter addon that had one

[small salmon]

This still doesn't answer my question, thanks for the input tho

[west ice]

does rtx 3060 is good for gta 5?

[hasty marlin]

Very good for it now they have added ray tracing

Never tried it on fivem servers though

[west ice]

how much fps you get on rtx 3060?

[hasty marlin]

Never looked at it on GTA5

[fading gust]

Change gpu do what you like micro stutters are there in ets2 hahhaa

Bought 5080 same shit like 4060ti 🤣 have to lock my fps because if not micro stutters are ok action 😅

Disappointed .

Fps go 250-300 but for what when micro stutters are there .

[agile ermine]

stuttering issues are in TMP, not ETS

[graceful pond]

a

[fading gust]

Yes in tmp

[simple citrus]

ets2 was never made for massive online multiplayer so tmp struggles with 100 people close together

[orchid cliff]

whats your monitors refresh rate? Not that it will fix stutters, just curious why the hell you where running ETS2 with unlocked frames? I always lock my fps to my monitors refresh rate because why would I go over 144 fps of my monitors has a refreshrate of 144hz? I wont notice the frames but will notice the room getting warmer (gpu working harder) and the electricity go up (like a few cents but still)

[fading gust]

My monitor is 180hz . If i lock it at 180 hz have a lot micro stuttering . Its like the truck go ahead you know .. thats why i am disappointed . In other games 5080 its a beast but in ets honestly better was 4060ti😅 with this 5080 stilp dont have found the best configuration maybe no idea but a lot micro stuttering

With 5080 if i dont lock it its like truck go aheah😅 250 fps 300 fps some moments .

[severe sage]

They're pretty much all the same. The basic function of them is in reality just a switch binded to an option in game for range etc, and most sold on Amazon likely come from the same distributor and are just sold under different brands. Personally I would just go for one that has the best reviews and/or design.

[small salmon]

Thank you for your help

[boreal fjord]

Can anyone tell me what this is for and if it is safe to install?

[grizzled crow]

yes

[dawn peak]

if that wasn't safe to install I'd be surprised that you're using windows

[latent aurora]

😂

[fading gust]

V sync on or off?

[hasty marlin]

Most people I know have it off

Mine is off also

[latent aurora]

Mine is off as well

[fading gust]

Off even me but was thinking a different idea😅

[grizzled crow]

Half on half off

uhh btw I have it off but applied frame limiter

[grizzled crow]

wym what

[mighty idol]

you can disconnect gpu?

[grizzled crow]

normally those are used for storage device tho

wondering how it could detect that as a storage device

[grizzled crow]

idk

[hasty ether]

Who wants a cool start button skin? (Only for Open-Shell Users.) Also this isn't mine.... The original size was waay too big.

I have had them resized so they will actually fit over the default start button. Tested on 11 should work on 10.

[lean rapids]

woahh

[grizzled crow]

ew openshell

start11 v2 is where it is

[hasty ether]

openshells free.

I did try it originally when I first upgraded to 11 and it sucked for me because it was the only thing I could use until Open Shell updated. I had already used up the free trial by then.

[mighty idol]

I've been wasting my ink trying to align those print head and it still somehow keeps misaligned

[cerulean ginkgo]

Guys I have an issue. My logitech g29 registers anything beyond 1° as full lock. Steering is either full left or full right. How do I fix this?

[cerulean ginkgo]

Yes.

It turned out it just didn't like the usb port

Worked perfectly in every other game except ats

[wet garnet]

Anyone have an idea for steering wheel settings like a pxn v10
How do I fix this issue on my PXN V10? the wheel is really stiff and I've updated to the latest drivers ?

[cerulean ginkgo]

Does it have it's own software? I know the logitect software has a centering force setting you can adjust

[wet garnet]

But the program is not practical

[cerulean ginkgo]

Don't have any other advice to give

[twin falcon]

Unfortunately, I can't get the quality and performance I expect from gaming headphones. I had chosen a high-priced model from a leading brand in the market that is generally considered to be of high quality. However, I must say with regret that the headphones broke in a short time. This led me to look for alternatives.

During this process, studio headphones caught my attention. Yes, these types of headphones may be a little different from the usual sound experience for daily use; because they are designed to transmit sounds without coloring, that is, in a flat form. However, I believe that this situation can be balanced with various software solutions.

My current plan is to buy the Audio-Technica ATH-M40X model and use it by connecting it as follows:

• Connecting the headphones to a Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter,
• Then connecting this adapter to the computer with a USB 3.1 to Type-C converter.
  Yes, it seems like a long connection chain; I can also connect it directly to the computer, but in this case, I think the efficiency I will get from the headphones will be low. With these additional connections, I expect the headset to offer better bass, treble and overall sound performance.

I also plan to shape the sound using an EQ software to balance the flat character of the sound, thus achieving a sound experience beyond gaming headsets.

What are your thoughts on this connection method and my overall plan?

[latent aurora]

Well, I can support the decision of a studio headphone - I have (or had) the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm in combination with a Sound Blaster Z Soundcard and the sound was.... eargasm! No Logitech/Razer or whatnot crap (gonna be honest with u now) had that quality, what I had with that headphones. I loved it and still do! But plugging it directly into usb wont really work well. I barely heard anything when plugging it directly on headphone plug / usb c. I needed an amplifiyer on my laptop. Glad my PC has the Soundcard 😄

[agile ermine]

I'm assuming you bought Razer headphones ?

if you need a mic, I'd recommend the Audio-Technica M50xSTS, it's on the expensive side but it's really good imo

otherwise, the Beyerdynamics DT 770 is indeed a popular pick, but be careful to not go for the 250 Ohm version, you might not be able to run it without an amplifier

[latent aurora]

you need at 80 ohms an amp as well... at least I had to

but that might be because Iam 50% deaf 😂

[agile ermine]

really ? it doesn't look like it should need one, 80 Ohms isn't that much and the sensitivity isn't that low either

[latent aurora]

as I said - that might be because I am 50% deaf 😉

I wasnt able to hear anything really

[agile ermine]

yeah, fair enough

[latent aurora]

thats why I love the power of my soundcard 😂

[twin falcon]

Yes, headphones that are produced as gaming headphones are not actually that good. I have not tried a studio headphone before, but so far all the users who have switched say that it is a much better choice. The model you mentioned is definitely a good model, it is a little more expensive than the model I mentioned, so I don't know if there is a huge difference.

[latent aurora]

Well, I can only say good things about my DT770 ^^

[twin falcon]

I will be using the Apple converter, so I read that it provides the same functionality as an amplifiyer converter.

[twin falcon]

yes that's true

[latent aurora]

ugh.... Razer Headphones are the worst 😅 🙈

[twin falcon]

It definitely looks great to have a microphone. I haven't seen this model before. It's a bit pricey but I'll take a look at it because I'll have to get a lapel microphone too.

[twin falcon]

Yes I totally agree I just put it on my ear and it broke in two sadly 😄

[latent aurora]

Razer "quality"

[agile ermine]

you need to be able to afford it, that's for sure, but it's not even that much more expensive than a "high-end" razer headset... My Audio-Technica's sound quality is much better than any gaming headset I've previously owned, and the build quality is also better... I've slowly started to move away from all the "gaming" brands for a lot of things, and even though it's usually more expensive imo it's worth it

The only Razer products I'd buy are their mouses, never had any issues with them

[twin falcon]

very high quality 😄 Actually, it seemed like a good headphone until it broke. I don't know how it will feel if I buy studio headphones.

[agile ermine]

also, yeah, the M50xSTS is way more expensive than the M40x, but there's no version of the M40x with a mic, so here's that... On the other hand, if you don't need a mic the M40x is probably perfectly fine

[latent aurora]

it will feel great. They sit way better and are more comfy ^^

[agile ermine]

studio headphones are way more accurate than gaming headphones, so you should be able to perceive more details, but the sound profile is very different : studio headphones have a very balanced profile while gaming headphones tend to be very bassy by default

[twin falcon]

Yes, it definitely seems that way, to be honest, until I did some research on this, I believed that gaming headphones were the best. I had never heard of studio headphones before, and even if I had, it wouldn't make sense because as the name suggests, it would be ridiculous to imagine using studio headphones in a game, but many sources and evidence show that these are actually great devices designed for sound.

[twin falcon]

Actually I bought a Razer keyboard, at least I didn't have any problems with it, I'm a little lucky :d

[simple citrus]

headphones > headsets

[twin falcon]

Yes, in addition to this, I think it can be made to work at a similar level with EQ settings.

[agile ermine]

oooh boy, if you thought gaming headphones were the best and you're only now discovering studio headphones, wait until you discover the trap money pit world of audiophile headphones

[simple citrus]

[agile ermine]

yeah, totally, you can do whatever you want with an EQ profile

[simple citrus]

3000$ headphones

[agile ermine]

and 2k€ DAC

don't forget the 3k€ amp as well

[simple citrus]

ofcourse, gotta be able to run the headphones

[latent aurora]

I rather spend those 8k in an coach bus 🤣 and not some headphone, dac and amp 🤣

[simple citrus]

I've got a pair of beyerdynamics, they fit my big ass head lol

[twin falcon]

I mean, this will really make you feel different. I listen to music very often. Other people who listen to music in the same way say that they discover new sounds that they don't normally hear in the music they listen to. Oh, this will be a very different experience. 😄

[twin falcon]

Yes, this will definitely be useful 😇

[agile ermine]

same, got a pair of Beyerdynamics coupled with a Fiio R7, perfect setup to listen to music and relax while reading a book... But higher end stuff is far out of my reach, and I don't feel like I need it anyways, it's already really good

[simple citrus]

I don't even have a DAC

[polar lance]

I’ve had my SteelSeries Arctis 3 for like 4 years now?? Still perfect condition and they’ve been through some tough times and the sounds decent for what I paid

[twin falcon]

If we are going to establish a space base, yes

[agile ermine]

yeah, I've been there, it feels weird to hear sounds none of the other headphones I've owned were able to reproduce before

[agile ermine]

eh, 3k€ doesn't even get you the top-of-the-line stuff

[simple citrus]

I've had beats by dre for on the road music, then I bought sony WH1000XM3 and I was like "yeah beats are just pure bass, good for hiphop but nothin else"

[agile ermine]

used to have one, with an amp, but it was very unpractical since it's a standalone setup (needed to plug it to my laptop every time I wanted to listen to some music), so a streamer like the Fiio is perfect for what I need

[twin falcon]

These are truly incredible devices and I think they have to be

[agile ermine]

beats stuff is very overrated

[polar lance]

Tbh it might sound bad, I don’t even use my headphones half the time I’ve always got the soundbar on

[simple citrus]

friend of mine uses his headphones for discord voicechat and everything else thru his speakers lmao

[twin falcon]

Millions of dollars worth of equipment are used in film productions, there really seems to be no end to it

[polar lance]

😭 nah just imagine the mic picking up all the audio

[simple citrus]

yea happens a lot

bro be watching instagram reels all the time

[agile ermine]

I owned an Arctis 3 for many years as well. And yes, the sound isn't great
But it did the job, it was a robust pair of headphones, still the ones I recommend if you need a cheap headphones+mic combo

[polar lance]

I mean this soundbar I brought just as I seen it on sale but the bass is amazing so I can’t fault lg

[polar lance]

I mean the sounds decent it’s just I’d rather a bit more bass

I’m heavy on baseline and garage

[twin falcon]

Oh yeah, that's my Razer headset, it really is amazing at transmitting even the noise from the other side of the room

[polar lance]

My brother had a set from razer and within a month he’d broke them

[agile ermine]

oh, no, you don't get it... Audiophile headphones aren't even used for music production most of the times, it's just for people that love music and have too much money

[polar lance]

one thing i do need to do is clean my whole setup at some point as its just been left for a few months due to being busy

[twin falcon]

Oh man mine lasted 6 months

[polar lance]

you must have had a lucky set

[agile ermine]

yeah, that's the issue with that kind of headphones, the sound profile is usually fairly bass-oriented but they really lack punch

[polar lance]

even my airpods give more bass

[twin falcon]

Oh this is actually not even high enough for a studio, it's really shocking

[agile ermine]

and when I look at these messages I can't stop thinking about the Razer headphones that I kept for around 3 years, these must've been a golden sample or something like that

[polar lance]

LOOL

you got an unbreakable pair

how do i get this

[agile ermine]

no, studios don't use such expensive headphones

[twin falcon]

So what do they use to produce music or for dubbing? Do they have better options? 🤔

[agile ermine]

they use Beyerdynamics 990, for example, audiophile stuff is just a trap, as I said

Sennheiser products, as well

[twin falcon]

I've seen this headset a lot but the prices are really high I think it's more understandable now

[agile ermine]

like, proper studio headphones

[twin falcon]

In other words, they prefer more well-known and widespread quality brands

[agile ermine]

nah, they just don't need exotic ultra high-end stuff

[twin falcon]

There are XLR and USB output options for the ATH-M50xSTS model. They only wrote music for XLR, but for USB they write music, games and work. Does this make a difference? I was thinking of supporting this headset with an apple converter.

[agile ermine]

the headphones are the same, but the XLR model has a XLR plug, so you will need an external sound card with an XLR input to be able to use it, while the USB version is just plug and play

[simple citrus]

Beyerdynamic is good soup

https://tenor.com/view/good-soup-cat-cat-drinking-gif-26216711

[twin falcon]

So, when I get a USB, won't I see low performance because I don't power it, so would it be better to get an XLR and support it with an amplifier?

[agile ermine]

it's not a power issue, it's just not the same plug, and there is no XLR input on a pc

[simple citrus]

The mini XLR plug is only on the headphones end, the other end is audio jack

in my case

I got the DT 1990 PRO

[agile ermine]

no, the M50xSTS XLR has a jack for the headphones and XLR for the mic

[simple citrus]

oh right wasnt following on which headset we're talking about

[twin falcon]

Yes, if I buy XLR, I was thinking of an apple converter for it, but it's not a sound card anyway, I guess it wouldn't make much difference than buying USB 😄

[simple citrus]

usb will be easier to use

[twin falcon]

Will I need a sound card for this 🤔

[simple citrus]

nah

motherboards these days have proper integrated audio already

[agile ermine]

you pick the XLR version when you want to use it with a mixing table, when you're a streamer for example. But if you just want a pair of headphones and nothing else, get the USB version

as I said, it's just plug and play

[simple citrus]

my headphones are uhh 250ohms and I have to set my windows volume on 30% and I have my individual apps set to like 20%

[twin falcon]

Yes, I want this to be effortless, plug and play is definitely a better option for me. I read an article that the power for the 40 model might be a little insufficient, so I wonder if there would be a low power problem in this model as well.

[twin falcon]

This seems very powerful, I wonder how much output they give for this model, 80 ohms seems enough

[agile ermine]

I haven't encountered any issues with it, actually it's quite the opposite, I have to set the volume really low if I don't want to blow my ear drums

and looking at the specs of the M40x, it doesn't need a lot of power at all

[simple citrus]

yea all the numbers that come with these headphones can be confusing and make you think you'll have to power them to hear something but honestly you won't need anything

[agile ermine]

the 1990 pro has a high sensitivity, so it's not hard to run even though it's 250 Ohms

[simple citrus]

Yes

[agile ermine]

there are some sub-100 Ohms that are impossible to run without an amp

you have to look at both

[twin falcon]

My motherboard is not a bad motherboard, I think it will be enough, it is MSI h610m model, I don't think it will make much difference though

[simple citrus]

Yea I done a bunch of comparing while I was shopping, ended up with the 1990 pros

[agile ermine]

the audio chip will not be as good, but the headphones will still sound better than any gaming headphones

[twin falcon]

And it's definitely not a difference I would have noticed, especially considering this is my first time using it.

[steep shuttle]

guys can i power up a xbox one with a figure 8 cable?

i did some research on reddit and it says that i can

or do i need the brick

[eternal cliff]

@tawny shore could it be possible taht you just bought a model that doesn’t have the gpu?

[latent aurora]

Figure 8???? Brick? What the hell are you on about?

[grizzled crow]

the fat thing is the brick, the sliver plug thing is figure of 8

as its a figure of 8

@steep shuttle if it came with a power brick then you would need one to power it up

[pliant comet]

The figure 8 plug won't fit the power supply's input socket. Even if that somehow fits, you won't have ground. The power supply needs to have working ground connection.

[steep shuttle]

i bought it a year ago i dont know that it works

im talking about this cable

this cable is called figure 8

[agile ermine]

the Xbox One needs a power brick

you can't plug that directly into it

that just won't work and will most likely damage your Xbox

[spiral yew]

can someone help me with euro truck simulator 2? i am playing it with my vr headset but when i go into my truck the view stays in theatre mode. i want to feel like i am actually in the truck. how do i do that? i have got the meta quest 3s

[glass folio]

Just wondering, what's the best setting for image quality in game. I use SMAA + TAA, 400 % Scaling. I am confused about TAA tuning however. Should I use adaptive clarity, always soft or always sharp? Is there a difference?

[dire mirage]

I currently run SMAA + TAA and 300% scaling

What is best I am not sure. But this works well for me

[glass folio]

Ok, thank you. I am just confused about the adaptive clarity.

[lofty willow]

What is this for? For taking better screenshots or something else?

[dire mirage]

I have it like that so it looks nice while playing the game. But it's not really needed to have on if you don't need it

[lofty willow]

Oh ok. Thanks.

[dire mirage]

No worries

[rigid dirge]

anyone know a fix for NVidia capture software freezing my game when i clip something?

this started after the new app UI

[dire mirage]

Nvidia capture is somewhat broken. It has been a defective, they can't seem to fix it either.
I would suggest using something like Medal to clip with.

[rigid dirge]

yeah but medal throws their logo on everything unless you pay for it doesn't it

[dire mirage]

That is true. But that logo is only at the end of the clip

[rigid dirge]

I just rather not deal with water marks from companies on my video as if they own the video

I just had to install a update that required a restart so maybe that will help

[dire mirage]

That might be as well

[severe sage]

You can use Xbox game bar instead, not the best ui but it works.

[dire mirage]

Honestly, I forgot that had a record option like that

[spiral yew]

You can also use obs for making clips

[dire mirage]

Yeah, but that sometimes require to record at all time
I know you can set it to buffer, but you might not get everything that happened if you do that

[spiral yew]

You can set it start and stop with keybinds

[dawn peak]

OBS' replay buffer is pretty accurate

I used to use it, when it's set to 60s it captures like 56 or so seconds

[dire mirage]

Yes, but if playing some games you might need a longer timer.

[severe sage]

It's actually pretty decent especially with it's respective keybinds, I use it as a backup when AMD adrenalin is being useless

[dire mirage]

That is fair. I am too used to Medal, but it is nice to have backups. lol

[woeful garden]

Will there be any update where ets2 will use multithreading?

[latent aurora]

I honestly don't think so.

Pavel mentioned on one of the livestreams at the start of this year that they are still working on dx12 implementation

[bold mica]

This one big box chain I shop at is removing self checkouts because of a new feature where you scan as you shop with your phone (been around for a while). Only a few months ago did they add ai tech to prevent theft, and there’s an article made acting like it’s new and terrible

And they said “This could pose a challenge to older shoppers who may struggle with technology.”

Typically older people don’t use self checkout anyways

[real oracle]

ig they made some more ats dlc free cause steam says i have 18 now but the website is only showing 11 when i click the check dlc bttn, ive done it like 4 times now

[silk sonnet]

What cpu on the am4 socket would people suggest. I have the r7 5800x paired with a 7800xt I just want a steady fps when in proximity of so many people

[agile ermine]

only upgrade you can get on this platform would be the 5700X3D or 5800X3D, but that won't help much anyways because that's just how TMP is

[real oracle]

from what i understand rthe truck sim games are justsuper single core dependent

[agile ermine]

that's not the issue... You don't need a powerful computer to run the game itself, but the engine is clearly not capable of handling the player density you can encounter in TMP, so even the most powerful pc will still have issues

[real oracle]

ok that makes sense, but i barely get 60 fps and my coputer isnt that bad i feel like

[real oracle]

is there a way to specify what version of the game is used when selecting the temp update?

[wind skiff]

isnt the game more memory intensive

its always the first thing to run out in 16 gb

[agile ermine]

I don't think so, usually the whole resource usage is a mess

[jolly bough]

Hello everyone, i wanted to buy a VR headset but im not sure if my pc would run with it, pc specs: i5-12XXX;rtx4060;32gb ram

[unkempt ridge]

I'd say it depends on the VR Headset.

Check the manufacture website

[latent aurora]

What CPU exactly? The 12 series has a lot of models - as well for the i5 Modelgroup

[outer charm]

Either 12400f or 12600k or 12600kf or 12500

[kind viper]

Any of those cpu should be fine assuming you got a graphics card

[outer charm]

Here this bro

[jolly bough]

Ye its a 12400f

[keen cave]

incase your buying it to use on tmp dont waste your money as you cant play ets2 vr on tmp

[pliant comet]

The F in the model name prefix means that dedicated GPU is required.

[kind viper]

Ya, but idk if the intel igpu can handle vr, never tried since they are pretty... had imo

[weak sonnet]

Hello there!

Any of You use this kind of shifter for the 12+2 gera? A friend of mine told me that It doesnt works i

for ETS

It does work on ETS2 if it works at all

[jolly bough]

Offline only is it possible?

[keen cave]

yeah you select vr under the betas in steam settings for the game

Question for anyone that drives with a wheel.
I am looking to get one, and not 100% sure what to start with.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[strange yew]

Many ppl use Logitech wheels

[dire mirage]

I won't lie, I forgot that Logitech has wheels

[strange yew]

I personally use the Logitech wheel with the side console (wouldn’t recommend tho as it’s meant to work in farming sim)

[dire mirage]

Oh, I see. I might get the G923, I was looking at the Thrustmaster T128 as well

[wispy panther]

i have seen some users get the Logitech RPM LED indicators to work in ETS2. I have a Logitech G923 and i have tried this guide in the past https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKWHP522WgA Which (at least to me unless I have missed something) doesn't work.
Anyone else got it to work successfully?

[lean rapids]

hey photography guys

is this a good photo?

[supple charm]

Dunno if this is the right channel or not,
But i have a little issue with my convoy dedicated server, The server doesn't see any server ping which cause some lag spikes it's playable but i rather want to fix the lag and that the server ping is noticeable then have a lag spike every 5 hours the ports are portforwared systems specs are i5 9600k 32GB ram with 3200mhz and a m.2 ssd 4tb download is 1.1GB and upload 100mb so if someone known how to fix my issue please let me know maybe good to know everything is hosted on a server pc which had a windows servers 2022 on it

[sly pasture]

hi! i dont know if this is the right channel, but assuming its about tech, i think it is
what screwdrivers do i need to teardown an iphone 11? talking about all of the screws inside the phone

[unkempt ridge]

E.g. iFixIt provides this kind of Bit Driver + Bits for a Battery Replacement... These might be the most used "screwdrivers"/bits

Source: https://www.ifixit.com/products/iphone-11-replacement-battery

[unkempt ridge]

But you should better go to an authorized Apple Service Provider for repairs... (or to Apple directly)... May cost a bit more, but you got warranty for it

[sly pasture]

Thank you for that screenshot with the bits I need!

[unkempt ridge]

Yw

[sly pasture]

Unfortunately there are no apple stores or authorized repair stores, it just needs a housing and earpiece speaker replacement. I watched tons of tutorials about it and I’m excited to try to repair it myself 😅😅

[unkempt ridge]

Earpiece replacement from apple would be a bit expensive cuz they peplace whole phone

Good luck and don't scratch anything

[sly pasture]

😂😂😂

[sly pasture]

Thank u! I won’t lol 😆

[unkempt ridge]

Have lots of customers who say that... Last one was one who replaced display himself...

Well, Display was broken as it was having shadows all over it

and he was lacking of glue, so the Display was raising from the frame

[sly pasture]

Oh he didn’t apply that adhesive? That’s a shame 😂

[unkempt ridge]

He was there for an iOS restore...

I was like: "Your display seems to be raised up a bit"

He then replied: "Yeah, I changed it myself and had no glue"

[sly pasture]

I think i would need a display replacement too, but there’s only a yellow spot in the very top right corner of the screen which is visible on white pixels, so no big deal

[sly pasture]

😂😂😂😂

No way

What Chinese screen comes with no adhesive?

[unkempt ridge]

You better don't forget to replace display glue thing

[sly pasture]

Yeah, it definitely won’t stick with the old one 😅

[unkempt ridge]

Idk - Never did that stuff myself... Got AppleCare (for what I prefer to call it: "iCare") for my iPhone...

I leave it all to Apple when something happens :D

[sly pasture]

I’d get apple care if that existed in Romania 😂 safe to say since I got my iPhone 16 in February, I never dropped it to crack the screen protector

I replaced it only one time cause it got scratched real bad

Only time I dropped it was on the kitchen countertop 😂😂😂

[unkempt ridge]

Since AppleCare is international, you should get in contact with AppleCare Support and ask them, before buying it.

Found this for you:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/106932?choose-your-country=romania

[sly pasture]

Thank u so much! I’ll keep that in mind!!

[unkempt ridge]

Cool thing with AppleCare is directly swap from home in case of a damage. So you can call the Support Hotline and they send you a replacement phone home.

You send your damaged phone in, using the same package and a technician will then charge the correct amount of money from your payment thing.

[unkempt ridge]

No problem. If there are any further questions, don't hesitate to @me - More than happy to help with

[sly pasture]

I actually called the support hotline for Romania to help me unlock my iCloud locked Apple Watch which was mine, but deleted the previous iCloud before restarting the watch 😂🥲

[sly pasture]

Alright, thanks so much!

[unkempt ridge]

Apple's pretty cool, if you can provide a receipt - Else you're cooked

[sly pasture]

Right

[unkempt ridge]

After reading it again... You should contact Apple Support fast, because depending on when you've bought it in February, you don't have much time left as you can only activate Apple Support 60 days after you bought/first activated the phone

You can check right from your settings... It asks/offers you to activate AppleCare

Tech

[sly pasture]

@unkempt ridge hi! Do you know by any chance if my iPhone would say that the wireless charging coil and the side buttons system are not original?

[unkempt ridge]

They probably will as it’s not https://apple.com you’re buying from 👀

But I’m not trained in 3rd party parts

[sly pasture]

[sly pasture]

That’s alright, I was just wondering cause I can’t find anything about it on google

[unkempt ridge]

Since iOS 18 it relies on every Serial Number of all parts

So it’s possible

[sly pasture]

Oh

But if I replaced for example the battery with an original one, will that message still be there?

[unkempt ridge]

You need to „train“ it in

Or so

[sly pasture]

With those special devices

Right?

[unkempt ridge]

No

The phone itself will be like „recognised new part“ or so

[sly pasture]

Ohhh

Well that’s fine

@unkempt ridge one more question, sorry for the ping! If I replace the earpiece speaker since it sounds bad currently, will that break Face ID? I know there are some parts related to it but I’m not sure

[unkempt ridge]

If you don’t touch FaceID it shouldn’t but I’m not sure about it honestly

Never had a case there those small parts are changed

[sly pasture]

Hmm

I’ll look it up see what I can find

[unkempt ridge]

I only had customers coming in with a fake display and complaining about „why is FaceID not working?“ and I was like: „think of why“

[unkempt ridge]

Keep me updated sir

[sly pasture]

Apparently it does

It’s paired with some sensor

Probably needs some cleaning then

[unkempt ridge]

Good luck

Or live with the „not original part“ message

[fleet inlet]

would you lot reccomend a gpu upgarde?

[flint egret]

Depends. Do you play other games as well?

[fleet inlet]

yeah its just tmp lol

[flint egret]

If it's just TMP, I wouldn't upgrade it

[fleet inlet]

no worries

[hot shore]

Oh deer, i guess the last update was almost a year ago... holy, why is time flying so fast.

What ever. Here are some new pictures and an addition to my rig.

[agile ermine]

is this how the average Star Citizen whale's setup looks like ?

[hot shore]

the whole Backsection where you sitting in and the monitor´s are attached to is moving about 40 cm back and forth by a push of a button. And you can fold out the arms where the joysticks are mounted to.

[hot shore]

i don´t know. but it is a hobby of mine and i like to build stuff.

It began in 2016 like this, since than i did some anual updates.

and the g27 is still doing fine. no issues what so ever.

They never did something like it again. I mean you can buy everything separate but i really like the idea of an all around package. Maybe with an handbrake and some more buttons and switches on the wheel. like the whole turn signal and wiper thing and such.

[agile ermine]

so you built the entire desktop ? nice

[hot shore]

Everything that´s made out of wood yes.
I didn´t build the PC and monitors of course.

or the Virpil Sticks.
But it´s decent hardware and you can get lost in that thing while playing all the simulators.

[polar tangle]

How to make another tmp account with same steamacc

[polar lance]

You don’t

It’s simple, 1 steam per account on tmp

[polar tangle]

Ok

[polar lance]

Personal preference

There is no ok

[dire mirage]

Too true. I have to sort all that stuff when I get my wheel

[fleet inlet]

how come my vram is 93% on ets 2 as well?

i have AMD gpu 5700XT 50th Annerviersay edition

[kind viper]

Vram is related to game settings and resolution.

It's different from system memory (when we talking discrete gpus)

[hasty ether]

I wish I had a G27 but I have a G25 instead. 😢

[unkempt ridge]

G25 is a very good wheel

[hasty ether]

less buttons though 😔

[eternal quiver]

When it comes to VRAM optimization, I know adjusting graphics has a significant impact. However, lowering the resolution should have some form of impact, right? And is that impact actually significant? Are there any significant differences between windowed, borderless, fullscreen, and exclusive Fullscreen? I can't really remember. It's been a while since I've had to do anything for VRAM optimization

[flint egret]

I got 0 buttons on my wheel and got no issues

[hot shore]

Isn´t there a saying like, you can't miss what you never had, or something like that?

For the immersion it can not be bad to have convenient placed buttons, not that they are necessary but it´s still nice to have them.

I personally like the feeling of pushing dedicated buttons and not figure out some key combinations you need in certain Simulations.

But in the end everybody is comfortable, with what they have, in their own way.

[kind viper]

Resolution change as in going from 1080 to 720p and other stuff has a significant effect, I don't know about screen change.

Screen change being full to windows and etc

[hot shore]

I would give you mine but after all these years with that wheel i get separation anxsiety.

[eternal quiver]

Ah, ok, that's what I was thinking in regard to the resolution. But from what I've read, to refresh my memory, the window mode does affect the VRAM. ultimately, windowed mode lowers the resolution and pixel draw, which causes less VRAM usage compared to fullscreen modes. So running in a borderless window would still affect the VRAM usage due to the resolution scaling, as it is essentially "fake fullscreen". However, it does have more effect than Windowed Mode.

[hot shore]

It´s weird that you have to do shortcuts like that in the first place in general right? It should be full screen all the way without having to fidget around anything. Affordable overcompensation in Vram sounds right to me. Sorry for not being that helpful.

MORE POWER!!!! More vram, just more of it. I like my rams all the way up there. Delicious rams.

[eternal quiver]

That is true, but many PC gamers don't know how to build their own PCs or can't afford to, which is the best way to maximize their performance. Many gamers can only afford laptops, so trying to optimize performance for them is difficult. You can really only do so much with laptops.

Many of them resort to increasing the amount of VRAM they allocate in their PC settings, which, while it may help, can lead to system failure.

[hot shore]

Laptops aren´t as bad that they used to be. But in the end it´s also difficult for developers, to make a game playable for everyone, when they have a certain vision in mind when it comes to performance and overall aesthetics. Helping them like that is probably a decent short term solution indeed.

[eternal quiver]

True. I have a gaming laptop myself, and I know what my system can and cannot run. I also know how to optimize it for the best possible performance without needing to increase the paging file for VRAM. Much of it has to do with people not knowing what the components are in the pc and which are good, especially with laptops. Desktops don't really matter because you can ultimately change those parts yourself.

[hot shore]

If you think about it, it´s actually pay to win in the end.

Allways the frickin money.

[hasty ether]

I get it. I wont want it from you. I'll just get a moza trucking wheel in the future.

[hot shore]

MOZA

i only heard of the wheel but they have more now.

oh deer

i saw some 3d printed stuff before but that looks like a decent product right there.

So that is the R3 base setup right there but what´s the difference to the R5 base other than it is longer. has it more gears in it?

The R5 delivers a higher peak torque of 5.5 Nm, while the R3 offers 3.9 Nm.

So the R5 breaks your thumbs more reliably , got it.

[flint egret]

What if I got a wheel with buttons on it?

[hasty ether]

yes

me dream wheel

checks wallet sadness

[hot shore]

The answere is literally in my anitial statement. Or is Immersion and convenient placed buttons not good enough?
You don´t have to get anything when you are happy with your current setup using a keyboard, it is absolutly fine to me.

It´s just a feeling thing at the end
