Dark texture on prefab shoulder

From update 1.43 I encounters this problem. No matter the road variant or the texture used I can't find a fix for this dark spot. (This error also happens on other prefabs from blke DLC, these are just 2 examples)

Any and all help is appreciated.

as you see i don't have that
solution 1:
maybe you have some VERTEX edits saved as default. To eliminate those click on X next to the terrain size (red arrow)
solution 2:
delete the entire EDITOR folder from my documents/ets 2 folder, this will reset editor to its defaults

Arayas, that is great advice but sadly I tried both of these solutions as well as resetting my graphics options and AMD settings and none of them worked. As my last resort, I will back up my mods folder and completely reinstall ETS2 in hopes to fix this. Thank you! :wink3:

I have just discovered that not all of them are broken, some work and some simply don't.

Over the year and a half since I started mapping, I have encountered a lot of bugs. Some I managed to fix, some I couldn't. I am not much of a player lately and seeing the updates SCS are bringing makes me question why do I even bother doing this anymore...

Should I report the problem on the SCS forum in hopes of a miracle that they will give a f*ck and fix it?

You can, but keep your hopes low. I've reported once a prefab without traffic from Baltic (and didnt understand why my GPS goes crazy avoiding it) and today is still the same.

The most disappointing part is that this used to work perfectly fine just a couple of weeks ago...

You dont understand and the problem is older, i had to change terrain to some parts of Turkey because of it, beeing black or invisible. The problem is not the prefab, is what terrain you use on them. And if you have problems with 1.43, you may be right, i dont know, maybe they altered another set of materials
because doing good things is hard (great FPS and real traffic density).

Yes, they have redone a bunch of textures in 1.43. I will take a break from doing this for a while so thank you for your help and advice as always!
