Issues fixed
Linux: Wheel deadzone and calibrating issues
Creating a virtual device to pass wheel movements through[15]
|
- Save and run a script to create a virtual device. Get the script and follow the steps from the authors project page.
|
Linux: Game stuttering, low performance
Setting CPU performance level higher
|
- The game may not trigger Linux CPU frequency scaler accordingly leaving the CPU frequency too low. The Arch Linux Wiki page on CPU frequency scaling provides a variety of options for manually adjusting the setting.
|
Invisible Cars, Trucks, Stoplights, etc.
- Caused by too many AI traffic mods
Windows: shortcuts to ogg audio files don't work
- The game has a built-in audio player for mp3 and ogg files. It will also play shortcuts to mp3 files, but not shortcuts to ogg files.
Create a symbolic link
|
- In the Windows command prompt enter:
mklink /d "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\music" "D:\your\music\directory"
