That is why this guide will take a look at the Euro Truck Simulator 2 bugs and known issues.
Keep in mind that the new updates will fix most of the known issues and the recent patch also fixed tons of bugs. However, there still are some common bugs and glitches that most players are facing. If you are one of them, you will want to take a look at this Euro Truck Simulator 2 bugs and known issues guide to see if the bug is unique to you or not.
All Known Issues and Bugs in Euro Truck Simulator 2
This guide will take a look at the recent and commonly faced issues that the majority of the users are facing. However, we are certain that the developers will fix these issues in the upcoming updates. With that said, let’s take a look at the issues.
AI Vehicle Problems
This issue is a relatively new one that seems to be introduced in the latest update. The issue usually happens when you crash into a car. You might continue on your journey but whenever you pass that road again, the crashed car will still be there and more cars will be crashing into it causing a traffic jam.
As you’ll notice, this means that the entire road becomes inaccessible due to a simple car crash. To fix this, save the game and load it up again. All the crashed cars should be gone and you can use the road once again without any traffic jams.
DLC is Missing
When you go into the DLC page in Euro Truck Simulator 2, it sometimes takes you to the Steam page prompting you to purchase it again. While some might dismiss it by saying that you might have purchased the DLC outside of Steam, there is another reason for this issue, To fix it, scan the file integrity and look for any missing files. If some missing files are found, there you go; that seems to be your issue.
Game Crashes After New Update
The good old game crash issue. Regardless of the game, you will see this error faced by almost every other player, and Euro Truck Sim 2 is no different. However, there is a simple fix for this issue. First of all, make sure that you verify the integrity of the game via Steam to see if there is any problem. Otherwise, if you have mods installed, one of them might be causing the problem. Delete the mods one by one to see which one solves the issue and remove it for good then.
Logitech Steering Wheel Not Working
Ever since the latest update, some players have reported that their Logitech G29 steering wheel doesn’t work with the game anymore. This can be a frustrating issue as playing with a steering wheel is extremely fun and further immerses you into the game. First of all, make sure that your wheel is properly connected and all settings are adjusted accordingly. Then, try it with other games to see if it works or not. If all else fails, you might have to wait for an official update from the developers since there is no immediate fix as far as we know.
Menu Freezes
Oftentimes, you’ll notice that when you open the game or go to the main menu, the game will freeze for about 30-40 seconds. This can be due to a number of reasons. First of all, if you have tons of mods installed, they might be taking a little time to load hence why the game freezes. Secondly, make sure that you meet the system requirements. Disable your mods and see if the menu still freezes or not. If it still does, you might have to either reinstall the game or wait for an official update.
High GPU Temperatures
Sometimes, your GPU might start getting high temperatures when playing Euro Truck Simulator 2. If you are using a high refresh rate monitor, that might be the issue because as soon as you ALT + TAB to your desktop, the temps will start to reduce since the desktop has a 60hz display rate.
Roads on the Map Not Showing Properly
This is the most common issue if you install a bunch of mods. Some of the mods you install might be compatible with the game or the specific version of the game. That causes some areas to get glitched and not show up properly – on the map or even when you visit them. Removing some mods that are not compatible will certainly fix it.
Those are all the issues that certain players are facing in Euro Truck Simulator 2. Hopefully, you can fix these issues by following our small solutions otherwise you will have to wait for an update for the game. Let us know in the comments below if you are facing any other issues. We would love to help you solve them!
