The Ultimate Guide to Euro Truck Sim 2 Map Load Orders for Expansive Worlds

No Comments

Embarking on a journey across an expansive world is a hallmark of Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2), and map mods are key to unlocking this vast potential. For enthusiasts looking to maximize their trucking experience with an array of maps, understanding load orders is crucial. This guide, originally curated by Vinnie Terranova and now maintained, provides a definitive resource for constructing stable and comprehensive ETS2 map combinations.

This guide is designed to be your go-to resource for creating your own ultimate map combo in ETS2. Instead of fumbling with video guides and handwritten notes, here you’ll find a clear, printable, and easily accessible load order. Whether you’re a seasoned trucker or new to the world of ETS2 map mods, this guide will help you navigate the complexities of merging different map expansions into a seamless and immersive driving experience.

Initially compiled in January 2021 by Vinnie Terranova, this load order thread has become a trusted resource within the ETS2 community. Continuing Vinnie’s legacy, this guide aims to uphold the established methodology, ensuring that “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it!” philosophy prevails. The goal remains to provide a user-friendly, regularly updated, and reliable load order for a wide range of map combinations, ensuring your ETS2 experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Understanding ETS2 Map Load Orders

Before diving into the specifics, it’s important to grasp the fundamental concept of load orders in ETS2, especially when incorporating multiple map mods. The game loads mods in the order they appear in the Mod Manager, and maps, due to their fundamental changes to the game world, are particularly sensitive to load order. Incorrect ordering can lead to a multitude of issues, from game crashes and missing roads to graphical glitches and unexpected gameplay disruptions.

This guide emphasizes a structured approach to load orders, ensuring compatibility and stability when combining various map mods. The provided load orders are meticulously tested and designed to minimize conflicts, allowing you to enjoy a seamless and expansive ETS2 world. By following these guidelines, you can avoid common pitfalls and maximize your enjoyment of exploring diverse landscapes and routes.

Essential Game Setup for Large Map Combos

Running extensive map combinations in ETS2 pushes the game engine to its limits. To mitigate potential issues and ensure smooth performance, certain game configuration adjustments are highly recommended, particularly when using a large number of map mods. These tweaks optimize memory allocation and buffer sizes, contributing significantly to game stability and preventing crashes, especially during long gameplay sessions.

Two key areas require attention: modifying the config.cfg file and adjusting the ETS2 launch options within Steam. These adjustments are essential for handling the increased demands of large map combos and are straightforward to implement. By implementing these settings, you’ll lay a solid foundation for a stable and enjoyable experience with your expanded ETS2 world.

Adjusting the config.cfg File

The config.cfg file, located in your Euro Truck Simulator 2 directory within your Documents folder, controls various game settings. One crucial setting for large map combos is uset r_buffer_page_size. Increasing this value enhances the game’s ability to manage memory, reducing the likelihood of crashes, particularly when loading large map areas.

To modify this setting, locate the config.cfg file and find the line:

uset r_buffer_page_size "10"

Change this line to:

uset r_buffer_page_size "30"

For even greater stability, especially with very large map combinations or systems with ample RAM, consider setting it to “50”. While “30” is the absolute minimum recommended value, increasing it further can provide additional headroom and stability.

Steam Launch Options for Optimized Performance

Steam launch options provide another avenue for optimizing ETS2’s performance, especially memory management. By adjusting these options, you can directly influence how the game utilizes your system’s resources. The recommended settings vary based on your system’s RAM capacity, ensuring optimal allocation without over-utilizing system memory.

To access and modify launch options:

  1. In Steam’s Library, right-click on Euro Truck Simulator 2.
  2. Choose “Properties”.
  3. In the “General” Tab, locate “Launch Options”.

Enter the launch options corresponding to your RAM configuration:

  • 8GB RAM: -64bit -nointro -unlimitedlog -rdevice dx11 -mm_pool_size 4096 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000
  • 16GB RAM: -64bit -nointro -unlimitedlog -rdevice dx11 -mm_pool_size 8192 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000
  • 32GB RAM: -64bit -nointro -unlimitedlog -rdevice dx11 -mm_pool_size 16384 -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000

These launch options include several parameters:

  • -64bit: Ensures the game runs in 64-bit mode, crucial for accessing larger amounts of RAM.
  • -nointro: Skips the introductory videos, speeding up game launch.
  • -unlimitedlog: Enables comprehensive game logging, essential for troubleshooting.
  • -rdevice dx11: Forces the game to use DirectX 11, generally providing better performance.
  • -mm_pool_size: Sets the memory pool size in MB, adjusted based on RAM capacity.
  • -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size: Limits temporary buffer size, helping manage memory usage.

Implementing these game setup adjustments is a crucial first step toward a stable and enjoyable experience with extensive ETS2 map combinations.

General Euro Truck Sim 2 Map Load Order Structure

While specific load orders vary depending on the map mods you choose, a general structure ensures compatibility and minimizes conflicts. This hierarchical approach categorizes mod types, establishing a foundational framework for any ETS2 map combo load order. Adhering to this structure is key to a stable and functioning game environment.

The general load order categories are as follows, listed from top to bottom in your Mod Manager:

  1. Backgrounds: Mods that alter the world map background image.
  2. Sounds: Audio enhancements and replacements.
  3. Graphics / Weather: Visual improvements and weather modifications.
  4. Physics: Changes to vehicle physics and handling.
  5. Tuning Parts: Aftermarket parts and customization options.
  6. AI mods / Traffic: Modifications to AI behavior and traffic density.
  7. Skins: Vehicle paint jobs and liveries.
  8. Trailers: New trailer models and types.
  9. Trucks: Additional truck models.
  10. Maps: Map mods and map-related fixes, placed at the very bottom.

Within the “Maps” category, a more granular load order is necessary, which is detailed in the specific map combo examples provided below. Understanding this general structure provides a solid starting point for building your own custom load orders.

Known Issues and Troubleshooting

Even with a meticulously crafted load order, occasional issues can arise due to mod updates, game patches, or unforeseen conflicts. This section addresses known issues with the provided global map combo and offers general troubleshooting advice. Being aware of these potential problems and solutions can save you considerable time and frustration.

Known Issues for the Global Map Combo (v1.53 Example):

  • Szpakowo – PL Rebuild ADDON: May display as version 0.1 in the Mod Manager, even if version 1.0 is installed. This is a cosmetic issue and doesn’t affect functionality.
  • Latvia Rebuild: Requires the ETS2 Greece DLC. If you do not own the Greece DLC, omit this map mod to avoid compatibility issues.
  • Senj Map Add-on: May display as version 1.0 in the Mod Manager, even if version 1.1 is installed. This is a cosmetic issue and does not impact gameplay.
  • Rröfte Kosova – West Balkans Improvements: May display as version 0.3 in the Mod Manager, even if version 0.3.1 is installed. This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect functionality.
  • ProMods FIX (v1.8-2.73a): This specific version has been reported to cause crashes at the Eindhoven garage in ProMods. Consider using a different version or avoiding this garage if you encounter this issue.
  • Beyond by TerraMaps 1: Contains broken barriers in the Dalian area. This is an issue inherent to the map mod itself, not the load order. Additionally, significant performance drops have been observed in Seoul, particularly at the truck dealer, even with minimal other mods.
  • VolgaMap: Missing roads near Ufa may indicate an outdated or incorrect source for the VolgaMap mod. Ensure you download VolgaMap from the official source (linked in the original article) to guarantee compatibility and completeness.

General Troubleshooting Tips:

  1. Mod Conflicts: If you experience crashes or errors not listed above, suspect a mod conflict. Disable all mods except the map mods in the provided load order and test again. Gradually re-enable other mods (trucks, trailers, etc.) one by one to pinpoint the culprit.
  2. Game Log Analysis: The game.log.txt file is invaluable for diagnosing issues. Ensure you have -unlimitedlog in your launch options to capture detailed logs. Upload the game.log.txt to a service like Pastebin and share the link when seeking help.
  3. Version Compatibility: Always double-check that your map mod versions are compatible with your ETS2 game version and with each other. Mod authors usually specify compatibility information on their download pages.
  4. Clean Game Profile: Start with a new game profile when setting up a large map combo to minimize potential conflicts from previous mod setups.

Alternative Background Maps

The default background map in this guide is “The World Background Map ETS2,” chosen for its geographical accuracy and visual fit with the combined map mods. However, alternative background maps offer different aesthetic styles and may suit personal preferences. Switching background maps is straightforward, allowing you to customize the visual presentation of your world map.

Using the ProMods Afroeurasia Background Map:

For those who prefer the style of the “ProMods Complete Afroeurasia Background Map,” you can easily substitute it for the default background map. Simply replace the following two mods in the load order:

  • The World Background Map ETS2 – Def (1.7)
  • The World Background Map ETS2 – Base (1.8)

With these two mods:

  • Scale Hack Disable (2.0)
  • ProMods Complete Afroeurasia Background Map (2.5)

Important Note for Java Road Revolution (JRR) Users:

Some map mods, like Java Road Revolution (JRR), offer variations designed for specific background maps. If you use the ProMods Afroeurasia Background Map, ensure you use the JRR version specifically designed for it (JRR v0.82b). If using “The World Background Map ETS2,” use the standard JRR version (JRR v0.82a). Using the correct JRR version ensures visual consistency and map alignment.

Customizing “The World Background Map ETS2”

“The World Background Map ETS2” offers a unique customization feature: adjusting the zoom level for Quick Job and Freight Market maps. This is particularly useful in densely mapped regions like the Swedish Islands, Poland Rebuilding, and Silesia, where the default zoom level might be too zoomed out to easily select jobs. Customization involves directly editing a file within the “The World Background Map ETS2 – Def” mod file.

Steps to Customize Zoom Level:

  1. Open the “Def” File: Using an archive utility (like 7-Zip or WinRAR), open the “The World Background Map ETS2 – Def” mod file.
  2. Navigate to zoom_uplift.sui: Inside the archive, navigate to the directory /def/map_data/. Locate the file zoom_uplift.sui.
  3. Edit zoom_uplift.sui: Extract zoom_uplift.sui to a temporary location. Open it with a text editor.
  4. Modify zoom_uplift[7]: Find the line containing zoom_uplift[7]:. The default value is typically larger. Reduce this value to zoom in further on Quick Job and Freight Market maps. A value of 30000.0 is a recommended starting point. Experiment to find your preferred zoom level.
  5. Save and Replace: Save the modified zoom_uplift.sui file. Replace the original zoom_uplift.sui within the “The World Background Map ETS2 – Def” archive with your modified version. Ensure you update the archive correctly.

Important Considerations:

  • Zoom Level Impact: Decreasing zoom_uplift[7] zooms in on Quick Job and Freight Market maps but also limits how far you can zoom out on the main World Map. This is a limitation of the game engine’s map system. The customization is a trade-off between detailed job maps and overall world map zoom range.
  • Backup Modifications: When updating “The World Background Map ETS2,” always back up your modified “Def” file. Updates may overwrite your customizations. Compare the new “Def” file with your backup to re-apply your zoom level preference if necessary.

By customizing the zoom level of “The World Background Map ETS2,” you can fine-tune your map experience for optimal usability in densely mapped areas.

Reporting Issues and Contributing

Maintaining accurate and up-to-date load orders for complex map combinations is a collaborative effort. If you encounter issues not covered in the “Known Issues” section or have suggestions for improvements, your feedback is valuable to the ETS2 modding community. Reporting issues effectively helps refine and enhance the collective experience for all users.

Guidelines for Reporting Issues:

  1. Isolate the Issue: Before reporting, thoroughly test to isolate the problem. Disable all mods except the map mods listed in the load order. If the issue persists, it’s more likely related to the map combo itself. If the issue disappears, gradually re-enable other mods to identify the conflict.
  2. Provide a Complete game.log.txt: A comprehensive game.log.txt file is essential for debugging. Ensure you have -unlimitedlog enabled in your launch options. Upload the entire game.log.txt to a service like Pastebin and include the link in your report.
  3. Detailed Description: Clearly describe the issue you are experiencing. Include:
    • Specific steps to reproduce the issue.
    • Exact location in the game where the issue occurs.
    • Observed symptoms (crashes, missing roads, graphical glitches, etc.).
    • Your ETS2 game version.
    • Versions of the map mods you are using.
  4. Forum Thread Reporting: Post your issue report in the relevant forum thread or community platform where the load order guide is hosted. This allows for community discussion and collaborative troubleshooting.

By following these guidelines, you can provide valuable information that aids in identifying and resolving issues, contributing to the ongoing improvement of ETS2 map combo load orders.
