How to Increase FPS and Fix Lag in Euro Truck Simulator 2

If gamers experience FPS drops or freezes while playing the game, it may indicate that the system is not optimized for the game or the game is not adjusted for the computer's power. Luckily, players can improve their gameplay quite a bit if they follow the steps below.

Disable Background Running of Microsoft Store Apps

Foremost, players should make sure that none of the Microsoft Store applications are running in the background, which can significantly slow down the performance of Euro Truck Simulator 2.

To permanently stop all applications running in the background, fans need to do the following:

Press Windows + R while on the desktop.
Type gpedit.msc and click OK.
After that, navigate in the following order: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > App Privacy > Let Windows apps run in the background.
When the settings window is open, it is necessary to select the Enabled setting in the upper left corner, as well as the Force Deny option in the Default for all apps line.
Finally, players need to click Apply and then OK.

Configure the Euro Truck Simulator 2 Launch Parameters

The second thing players have to do is to set the correct launch settings for Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam. Players should go to the Steam library, right-click on the game and select Properties. In the bottom line, they should enter the following commands -nointro -mm_max_ resource_size 90 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000.

The Config File Setup

The next step will be to customize the config file, namely to reduce the quality and resolution of vision in the mirrors, as well as to configure the console, which players need for the next step. Fans should open the Documents folder in File Explorer and then find the Euro Truck Simulator 2. The config file is located there, and players should right-click on it, then move the cursor to Open With and select Notepad.

Next, it is necessary to find the r_mirror_view_distance setting using Ctrl+F. The value of this setting needs to be corrected to 50, and the r_deferred_mirors setting, located right below the one mentioned before, needs to be changed to 0. In addition, players have to find the g_developer and g_console settings, set their values to 1, and then save the file.

Changing the In-Game Settings

Lastly, players must go to the graphics settings while in Euro Truck Simulator 2. The key settings to improve the game performance are to check the box to enable Fullscreen mode and to select Low in the Simple graphical settings section.

Also, they can change the climate in the game, which can reduce fps drops. Players should repeat this all the time when they log into the game. After they have entered the commands mentioned in the above step, they can open the console and then type the command g_set_climate albedo in the command line.
