as everyone says straight to the point and so easy, before this I had found myself getting a bit bored as driving and seeing little traffic so you have less to think about but I've just found mine was at 1 so upped to 5 like you said yours was and WOW what a game changer, I've only done 100 miles so far but so much more traffic which itself I find appealing to look at but gives you so much more to think about as far as being more aware of lane changes or just being more aware of traffic around you, it brings the FUN back to the game. .I will be checking out Your other videos next.. thanks.
Straight to the point, works like a charm, thanks a lot 🤝 ! WARNING : I mean "quick note", now that i have your attention, people. Playing at max traffic (10), while it's really cool and the roads do feel alive, in towns/cities the AI might get really messy at redlights, giving way, crossings, etc. You might get stuck on an endless loop where no ai "can" move. I'd suggest 8 for a dense traffic without those issues. Steam deck users : 4 or below - it does suck a lot of perfs.
@@SaveFACTS Best answer is always "try it for yourself", each rig is different so, can't really tell you what value to put here, i'm afraid You can get to a city, close game, change to 10. Add launch arguments to skip intro etc so you're back in the game quickly to test multiple values and check perfs. Takes around 1min for traffic to fully fill the streets, that's why i'd recommend to try in cities. You'll notice perf hit really fast too, if any. Good luck !
Thx, so well explained, helped me out a lot! Now there are traffic jams sometimes and it feels a lot more realistic. Great solution, no need for mods. 👍
SCS should make this an option in the base game settings menu! Thanks for the point on video! Finally I dont need to look for mods that are "realistic" and have a good amount of traffic for me...
this is the video i was searching for! i have a potato PC but rlly want to increase the traffic a little bit (currently its set to 1.0), will increasing this number affect FPS in any way and if it will approx how much?
it will effect the processor performance, hard to judge by how much but you could decrease other things to balance it like the pedestrians, if you don't need them :-)
i dont play ets 2 single player over a year after getting 1 week ban from truckers mp i played single player there is no traffic and the truck is limited to 150km/hr
very usefull en straight foreward tutorial. just a bit confusing if higher nr = more or less traffic. found the answer to that in the comments. maybe pin that to the top since its confusing.
Thanks it works well, mostly. I found lots of fps drops and sometimes game crash, with the heavier traffic at Nighttime with all the city light. Do you experience similar thing?
I have a problem on promods.... I get tons of traffic on the highway, but there is litterly no one on the other roads... Did u know how I can fix that? And also, when I taka another highway, it take a long time to get the traffic back... Can I maybe increase the spawn rate?
can someone help me out? i installed some traffic mods but after a few days there was no traffic at all, not a single car would spawn, i tried deactivating mods but it doesnt work
Why don t you show exemple IN game after? Perhaps because it is not "as simple as that" there are bugs, there are problems of realistic traffic in the middle of night... sorry but your tutorial is not complete. It's not a good one.
hi, every video after this one in my ets2 playlist has the traffic set to 3 and as you say "there are bugs", gridlock is the main issue and cpu issues can be factor for older computers. the change is designed as a stress test by scs software, but i would suggest if you have issue, reduce the number or use the defaults
the devs do warn that this feature is for stress testing, so, i assume if computer isn't powerful enough it'll crash. i use 5 for my settings and seems to run without glitches or crashes for over a year since i posted this video :-)
I don’t usually comment on yt vids but I gotta thank you. Straight to the point, great explanation and helped me out!
no problem, i hope you enjoy all the extra traffic :-)
Most definitely he’s just gonna follow. I was able to adjust my game just by watching his video.
I truly thought it would take me hours to do this looking at other video’s lengths, thank you for making it so straightforward!
no problem at all :-)
I wish every tutorial video was this straightforward 😂
no problem, glad it helped :-)

@@im_Dafox haha thanks! I played just now
Didn't used that much memory , tried from 0 to 10
absolutely right @im_Dafox, higher levels can cause gridlock as the ai is unable to work out routes, but that can sometimes be fun too :-)
@@RealGenericDemon surprisingly realistic at times, even 😄
I like that yours every reply to comments has :-)
i do try :-)

thanks so much sir! I really appreciate this super easy and simple tutorial
no problem, thanks for watching :-)
A Nice bit of trucking, relaxing and chilling :o)
or at least a change to traffic :-)
You can do it ingame also by just enabling console and then just press ~ and type g_traffic 1-10
useful for others to know :-) thank you
Amazing, simple and easy to do, thank you!
no problem :-)
That was so simple and helpful thank you so much

You are so good, thank you very very much!
you are welcome :-)
thank you man, clear and easy :)
no problem :-)
Thank you so much for the tutorial? Which number is the most realistic to use? Is there a way to change density at which time?
i am at 5, its just about right and can be fun to be in a jam sometimes :-)
Thanks buddy much appreciated. Makes my game much more realistic. Dose this work for American truck sim?
it does :-)
Thank you I needed this
no problem :-)
Thanks man, just a simple direct video, u earned another follower. ❤️

@@Team_Reaper. i think you can turn the speed limiter off in the options menus, but it'll be the max speed for each truck :-)
@@RealGenericDemon it's off idk why not an issue for me thx btw
tysm subed and liked
thank you :-)
Tks!! Here density ( 3 ) Perfect for my ...
no problem :-)
Thanks again!
you are welcome :-)
So the lower the number, the higher the traffic? Or is it the other way around? Btw great video!
higher number is higher traffic :-)
Plus 1+ sub
thank you :-) enjoy :-)

depends on your hardware, the developers don't recommend the change, but i sometimes get frame drops, i am running a ryzen 7 and nvidia 3060ti :-)

Hey man, great video and straight to the point! I was wondering if 1.0 is the default value for traffic density in the .cfg?
1.0 is the default :-) thanks for watching :-)
thanks mate
you are welcome :-)
cheers
no problem :-)
THANK YOU BRO
glad to help :-)
Thank you sooooooo much🩷
You’re welcome 😊
Are u sure it’s only up to 10? Or can u go higher?
i am sure i got the number 10 from somewhere, but you could try more :-)
@@RealGenericDemon how about the other two above it, it’s also about traffic and parked cars, and do u know how long u can play the demo for?
You can, but not sure if you should. I had deadlocked cities with 5.0.

sometimes happens to me, it is probably the spawn rate and the roads, remember the traffic spawns around your location :-)
thanks
no problem :-)

i installed some traffic mods but after a few days there was no traffic at all, not a single car would spawn, i tried deactivating mods but it doesnt work
not sure, i don't use mods, but other many read this comment and reply :-)
are u using pro mods?
@@w4jaso a reinstallation fixed it
Why in the newest version they didn't got the config file?
i still have the file, maybe try searching for drive for config.cfg
Hello Thx for the Video. But if i restart the PC it change back to old traffic settings. How can i change that?
i haven't notice that myself, i guess you could change the file to read only? :-)
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
any time :-)
Hi. What is the default number? 1.0 or 5.0 or which?
its 3 :-)
@@RealGenericDemon thx
why is mine buggy? like random black texture appears randomly
is the game installed on a ssd or nwme drive? i find the textures don't load so fast on older drives

Hi brother
How can I open other road on the map of euro truck simulator 2
if you are playing stock ets2, you just have to find the hidden passages, they aren't marked on the map, but they are open to drive down :-)
i dont have that folder in my Documents, im not mac, dont know if they changed anything
maybe you can search your drives for the config file?
for some reason mine dosent save i am on ats
trying right clicking on notepad and running as an administrator :-)
Can you use notepad++ for this too?
sure :-)
So just put in 0 and there will be no traffic?
I would assume so :-)
What happen if you play online
i don't know, i assume the online defaults rather than local :-)
Does this tutorial work still?
yes :-)
Thy so much
no problem :-)
I've recommended using mod cause it's more realistic
as you say, mods are better, this just an increase on the surrounding area and can cause gridlock
Does this still work in 2023?
yes, but i would recommend 3 now, because the devs increased the density a few updates ago :-)
@@RealGenericDemon Yeah I learned that the hard way.. was trying to get back on a highway and ended up waiting 6 minutes for traffic 😂
i cant fine the "traffic" anymore in the gamefiles. how can i change them?
i'll take a look at the files on my setup, windows install?
Does thie work on all of the dlc's
it does :-)
I increased the g_traffic value, but more vehicles are created in the opposite lane. How do I spawn more vehicles in my lane?
i am pretty sure its a random process, the traffic is only where you are and despawns after it is out of view, technical should be in all lanes.
Brother how can I open roads on euro truck simulator 2
replied your other comment :-)
Bro i need more truck in traffic is it possible?
the change is just traffic, i don't know if you can add more trucks to it directly
Is increasing peds the same as traffic density?
i would assume but worst case is this doesn't work :-)
@@RealGenericDemon understandable have a nice day✌🏽
700th like
thank you :-)
How do you keep your desktop so clean
i use this computer for games only, so no other apps or work, my work machine is covered in files, lol :-)
@@RealGenericDemon well I do too
no traffic option in config file. can i add it manually.
i would assume putting 0 is none :-)
" uset g_traffic" was not present in config file so i add it manually and it worked like charm . Thankyou ❤️
Hello how to increase the speed of the cars and truck? Like speed traffic tnx
hi jos d, looks like a mod to increase the speed of traffic, i couldn't find and easy way like this.
I dont know why but I dont have the config.cfg file?
did you change the directory defaults on installation? :-)
Thank you so much
you are welcome :-)
eferytime i do it and relaunch the game its resets it
you could try and make the file read only, not sure if that has knock on effects
I put it on 10.0 and its so much lagging
What is the recommended PC specs. for 10.0 traffics and 60 (mostly graphic, psyhics) mods?
the scs devs don't recommend changing the level as it is a stress on the processor, but i guess you are in the core i9 to handle 10
@@RealGenericDemon I have the Intel core i5
now its 0 traffic
for me
peaceful mode :-)
Can you do the numbers like 0.75?
i suspect its rounded numbers, but i have never tried it :-)
Ty lol i dont ened mods anymore
no problem :-)
is it works in convoy?
i don't know, because i recorded this before convoy was available, i would assume so :-)
2:02 I put there 20.0 and it came back to 1.0
Will it disable all the mods that i have??
it won't disable mods, i think the max is 10 :-)

it literally shows u how to do it, doesn’t need to explain anything else. it’s basic commons sense the answer to your questions
i like how this instantly crashes my game
maybe change to a different value? :-)
I change it into 1500
did it work, or was it gridlock? :-)
And then ETS 2 keeps crashing after that.
the devs do warn that this feature is for stress testing, so, i assume if computer isn't powerful enough it'll crash. i use 5 for my settings and seems to run without glitches or crashes for over a year since i posted this video :-)
