Quoting: TheSyldatCampo Santo maybe just maybe being your own thing on the side was for the better ...

I'm just sayin'

You're assuming "pumping out" games is the end goal for them. Maybe they have more fun and/or make a more reliable paycheck doing whatever they do at Valve. We might be happier if they worked on their own games instead, but they don't exactly owe us anything.

Quoting: Creak@Liam Dawe How do you enable all these details?

According to the readme [External Link], DXVK_HUD=full should do the job.

Quoting: ShmerlI remember seeing reports, that some games were broken due to some locales using , instead of . for floating point notation.

My (Finnish) locale does that too, but it works for me.

Quoting: BrisseInteresting! Debian and Swedish is correct. At first glance, 'LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 %command%' didn't do anything but I will investigate further tomorrow.

Seeing as the game fails to set locale en_US.UTF-8, you could check if it's installed, and generate it if necessary. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" should do the trick.

Quoting: BrisseI've been running the native version of ETS2 but it won't start after the latest update [External Link].

Native still starts and runs just fine for me.

Quoting: EikeDoes this match?

Yes, looks like it's generating DP from HDMI output. I guess they built some kind of processor or controller into the cable, it can't be a simple conversion.

I think that's why they call them active adapters, as opposed to passive ones.

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: Eike

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.
