I played American Truck Simulator on Linux, don't ever let me drive a real truck

Quoting: Xpander
Quoting: rustybroomhandleI play ETS2 using a Logitech Driving Force GT wheel. It works fairly well there (and presumably on ATS also) but on ETS2 at least, the force feedback and rumble was not fully implemented yet. (On Grid Autosport it's fully working)

Even without these features though, a wheel is the best way to play this.

Yus. It's not a driver issue though - the rumble and force-feedback works perfectly in Grid Autosport. I believe it's just a limited implementation in *TS on Linux.

If you look at the credits for any major game, you will notice that "programmer" makes up a minority percentage of the total roles involved. Just saying. Tools like this help creative people create.

Surely a delay alone is no reason to sound so despondent. If it were cancelled, or the delay turned out to be huge... then, sure. Cheer up, you probably have butt-tonnes of other things to play while you wait.
Haven't been around long have we? Delays often see more delays, and then more delays.
Still getting yourself down over a thing that has not happened yet.

If you set the quality to Minimal and then set Texture Quality to High and enable FXAA and Bloom it runs well without looking too crummy. Not ideal but might be ok until they patch it properly.
