Graphics card needed here. Using Intel hd 3000 don't have the power....

yeh but I gotta spend £200 to get my machine up to a decent spec...you can spend a whole £50 for a 5570 and it would be good.

Is that what good for a budget?

 

I spent £100 on a 2nd hand Asus motherboard and and 2nd gen i5. Took the ram out of my old comp. (8gb)

 

What's up with yours?

[d0pefish]

 

got docked £430 for this "collision".....bloody foreign drivers and their dodgy insurance rules

[featured_spectre]

Whats up with mine is the cpu burned out entirely, leaving scorch marks on the mobo. The RAM works as I tested it in my brothers machine, so yeah...new CPU and MOBO...got £200(maybe £250) to spend. Also, for you...Asus HD 6670 2GB DDR3 VGA DVI HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card | Ebuyer.com

 

And @Dopefish I was docked £800 for a collision which involved me slightly scraping the cab as I made a turn to park the trailer!!

[d0pefish]

At least you actually touched something. I stopped before touching him, so obviously the thought police are in effect around Duisberg instead.

 

Although saying that the next run after that saw me get to about 20% damage due to a few high speed dismounts.......but no rolling the trailer, just coming off on the grass verge....after trying to overtake three other trucks..........

Errr yeah accident system is a bit dodgy in this game. My first session and I went into a roundabout and got docked after someone went barrelling into me from the left and didn't give way.

That said I played on my laptop last night...cant run a single mod so had to start a new game. Started in Cambridge, its a nice drive to felixstowe and liverpool.

Is that card ok to play this on? (Ive lost touch playing games on the computer)

[featured_spectre]

massively so. It is vastly superior to the onboard chips, you should be able to play this on high settings without an issue (I was playing on a 5770 without issue)

Also, my save last night bumped me to level 2, wish I could have copied my mod save!

[d0pefish]

which mods do you recommend? i'm not bothered about truck decals etc at the moment, so things more like the physics, maps, weather, graphics would be good to try out.

Mods - Maps

EU Map 1.7

European Union Map

Europa Map Winter

Winter Mod

 

Majority of the mods are what you like, trucks, trailers, interiors etc. So experiment until you find something you like. And I cannot stress this enough, back everything up before modding!

[featured_spectre]

I should add, I have the streamline mod, and the coca cola trailer, which is nice to have on. I am looking at making my own trailer skins so that I can have my own company name/logo etc as I see fit on the trailer

Where do you get the mods from?

[featured_spectre]

Google Euro truck simulator mods, or go to the forums on steam

I'm awaiting the delivery of my new high end(ish) PC, do I buy this or not?!

[featured_spectre]

yes, yes you do

[L3OUGH]

yes, yes you do

 

Hahahaha, okay, presuming it's on Steam?!

[featured_spectre]

it is, but rarely on sale, so may be worth buying from the company, as you get unlimited amounts of activations then.

Ohhhh okay, who makes it then???

[featured_spectre]

I cant access it from work, but google them. Its like £30 (or so) for full game plus expansion pack.
