Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: TheRiddickI think you can use a HDMI to Displayport dongle?

That's not possible. You can convert DP to HDMI, but not the other way around, due to DP being a lot more complex.

Of course it's possible, but the "active" adapters are much more expensive than DP to HDMI ones.

Quoting: M@GOidThe last updates on ATS (1.36) got the SMAA functioning more or less properly, so a combination of 200% scaling and SMAA on high is giving good results to me (on a RX570) so far.

I run it at 300% scaling and High SMAA normally. Aliasing is still very visible on anything thin or contrasty (like fence posts, street lights and utility poles, chrome details on your truck), and it doesn't affect the moiré on what I assume are partially transparent textures like chain link fences.

I spent quite a while staring at pixels just now and SMAA in ATS simply doesn't have the effect it has in other games. It basically just smooths out some aliasing that wasn't very visible anyway and gives up on the rest. I think it would benefit greatly from something more advanced, like SMAAT2x, the SMAA + TAA combination AA you can enable in games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Or even just TAA. Hell, even a smoother algorithm for the internal resolution downscaling might help a lot.

Quoting: GuestThe problem with this "game" is there is no goal. So nothing to do really.

For me, the goal is to relax. I get quickly bored with sandboxy games like minecraft/test and terraria, but these truck sims just keep me driving one more job. Especially when I'm not up for anything more demanding. Lots of trucks to drive, places and routes to see, cargoes to haul...

Quoting: tuubiMy biggest gripe with the graphics is the lack of functioning AA. The game (and ATS too) lets me pick SMAA, but the setting has no effect that I can see. And no matter how much I bump the internal resolution, there's aliasing and moiré effects all over the place.

I don't know about AMD, but for Nvidia, there's an override setting in the driver settings.

Haven't found anything that works. Almost tempted to try with proton. But only almost. This is just a minor annoyance after all. I guess I should report a bug, seeing as Windows users just got antialiasing enhancements in the latest update.

Quoting: ShmerlOnly HDMI output? That's a huge no go. At least they should use both DisplayPort and HDMI, if they think HDMI is so necessary.

Plenty of TV sets with no DP inputs, but all of them have HDMI. I doubt this is such a no-go for most of their target audience.

Despite all this, I love these truck sims to bits. Perfect games to relax with.

Quoting: slaapliedjeSo if you're like me and have high resolution / refresh rate monitors that also require display ports, get a card with three of them.

Or buy monitors that support MST / DisplayPort 1.2 daisy chaining. You could also get a DP hub, which is much cheaper than a new GPU. :)

Quoting: NanobangIt looks like everything shown is cosmetic only, is that the case? Also, will this proposed system allow for earning "credits" thru play as well as purchase? Or is this a richer-kids-have-cooler-cars setup?

It's all cosmetic, and always has been.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI'm happy (and surprised) to report that winner is the Linux version!!!
Good job, Feral!

Sadly, I can not test the Linux version on Windows 7. (And If it is possible, I don't know how)

You can't test the DX12 backend on Windows 7 either, right? The game is supposed to run better with DX12 than DX11 for most users. I've seen benchmarks that indicate more or less equal performance across the operating systems on both Nvidia and AMD hardware. Feral did a great job.

Is this only on KDE? The update works just fine for me.

EDIT: Or does this only happen if you haven't played the game previously and the config doesn't exist?

Quoting: RickAndTired

Quoting: GrifterWorkshop support isn't fully implemented sure, but 100fps sounds like an insane difference; I have a tweaked ini file for rocket league which coupled with using __gl_threaded_optimizations gives me ~200 (150-250) fps in a match on ancient hardware (i5-750, 980), if you want to try my ini let me know.

I think that's only for Nvidia right? I have an AMD graphics card

Try the "mesa_glthread=true" environment variable. Might or might not make a difference. I think I've limited the game to 60 FPS and I don't see stutter except when a player spawns in, so don't really care myself.
