First thing is set the game to the absolute lowest preset. In the NVIDIA Control Panel reset everything to default EXCEPT maximum framerate which should be at 60FPS and also set the power management mode to Prefer Maximum Performance...these are the only 2 things you need to play with... I also set my in-game refresh rate to 59hz (I'm using a 60hz 1080P monitor) it seems to stabilize the 60FPS setting better. Try bumping up the scaling until you get stutters...I'm able to play at 300% scaling on a Vanilla profile with my RTX2070 Max-Q card on my Lenovo gaming laptop with 60 FPS steady across the map.

I have a 3060 and it runs smooth. I also got the game after the 1.50 update so maybe a fresh install would help.

Wow this was super helpful! I genuinely didn't understand that this was how scaling worked and now feel like i understand it fully! I also like your suggestions on what to set our scaling at depending on the number of mods we have. Thanks for another super informative and helpful video!

Since 1.50 my game started to lag and stutter. I use both vanilla truck and trailer and paid mods. When I use vanilla truck by using minimal and no mods I get the same experience. I turned the scaling down and still no improvements.

This is because of the new game requirements for mods to be packed with an SCS created hashfs tool. I have yet to use it, but you will see improvements once people start cutting down their mod sizes and using the tool.

My scaling was already at 125%, but I had to change the resolution from 1690, to 1440 and my game is running smoothly and doesn’t stutter then crash after 15 minutes into the game like it use to! Thank you for the info!

Great explanation. Everytime they release a new version I feel I have to scale down, so instead I have reduced the mirror distance in the config file, and toggled off the mirror in the normal view. I will probably need to upgrade my laptop eventually....

The stuttering only occurs on certain parts of the map mainly in the cities. I get smooth frames while driving on rural roads/between cities but when I drive through the newer cities (Like Montana, Wyoming, reworked California cities) the game will stutter/freeze for 2-3 seconds before returning to normal. I’ve already tried disabling in-game v sync, adjusted the scaling from ranges of 100-200%, lowering the other graphic settings medium to low, and enabling the control panel v sync. I’ve also tried updating my drivers, but it didn’t really make that much of a difference. I only run C2C, Midwest expansion and a couple of sound mods.

Windows swaps your RAM so your OS doesn't crash, and that's really the core of the problem, if you want to fix it, you will have to downgrade to ATS 1.38 where everything runs smoother and lighter

so what scaling settings would be the best for a low end pc?

The issue that im having is the roads don't have any textures. In my setting, I have very thing on low or disable. I only have a few things that I have on medium or high, scaling 100%, mirrors resolution & distance is medium. Texture quality is high.

Thank you for explaining Scaling in a way a non-dedicated gamer can understand.

So by me using a hdmi to a 4K tv will it be best to run 400? Or can I scale down . This pc runs smooth at 400 but health wise in term of the pc will I get the same output if I drop the scale?

Thank you for the info it really helped understanding about 4k graphics

Hello, I repeated your video several times to be able to understand better, but even so I have a doubt, what would be the recommended scaling to play in 1080p? these are my components: Ryzen 3300X CPU, Radeon RX 5500XT 4GB GPU, 16 GM RAM. I'm asking you this question because I've tried dozens of settings to make the game flow well and look good too, and it's frustrating... This game is very strange because I have played much more demanding titles like Forza Horizon 5 on high, Warzone on medium, Doom Eternal on high and many more, and all of them at 60 FPS. I would appreciate your knowledge...

@Halffastgaming

2 жыл бұрын

The trouble is the age of the game engine, and your equipment. With those components I would stick to 100-125% scaling, though that still will give you some stutter. The other issue is the game loads the information to video in "chunks" and cities are a large "chunk" when you come to them. This causes a large load to be placed on the CPU, Hard Drive, RAM and Video card. Being that your system is more towards "entry level" 100% scaling is going to be best, and if you do have some mods that use high resolution textures, you may have to go under 100 scaling. I hope that answers your question.

Well yeah its because your computer more information when u go into a city? Idk seems like common sense more assets are in the cities so more is needed from the computer itself.

Scaling does some of it but there are other things you can do to help. Launch settings can be added by going to steam, right-clicking on American Truck Simulator, you will see properties. Then you should see a blank text input box, this is where the launch settings go. There is different variations of launch settings so let's go with these. (PLEASE SELECT THE ONE FOR YOUR RAM AND COPY AND PASTE INTO THE EMPTY TEXT BOX, SEE PHOTO FOR EXAMPLE) Step 1 8GB RAM: -mm_pool_size 4096 -mm_max_resource_size 100 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000 -nointro -unlimitedlog 16GB RAM: -mm_pool_size 8192 -mm_max_resource_size 100 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000 -nointro -unlimitedlog 32GB RAM: -mm_pool_size 16384 -mm_max_resource_size 100 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000 -nointro -unlimitedlog 64GB RAM: -mm_pool_size 32768 -mm_max_resource_size 100 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000 -nointro -unlimitedlog Depending on your PC specs copy and paste the line that matches your memory specs on the left.

That would explain why some content creators games would crash when they would enter a large city when they were streaming. Their videos looked great but they crashed in big cities! Couldn't handle the rendering.

I’ve spent a lot of time getting my 3070ti card to be optimized the best way possible with ats. And what I had to do to play this game maxed with mods on 4K was underclock the gpu with msi. This is such a cpu hungry game I was getting a bottleneck Everytime. I sit comfortably at now at 80 to 90fps. Lowest in dense cities-60 highest In country-110.
