Roextended Bugs - report here

@tantalus

Are you using v2 of that RC?

EDIT: You're driving much too many hours down in lousy Iberia instead of getting
the latest versions of the mods here!

Hello folks!
First of all, let me thank the respectful developers of Roextended and Project Turkey team for their great and hard work!
On the second hand, I want to ask for help as I encounter a very disappointing issue. The thing is I've got not very powerful computer, so I've always had problems with driving in Turkey.
Now I tried new Roex ver. 3.0 and, unfortunately, for me it causes huge FPS drops (espescially when driving in mountainous terrain) and even a slideshow. This totally ruins my pleasure of driving the region.
However, driving in Romania and Ukraine doesn't cause such issue.
So, I need help - is there a way to keep the Roex territories of Romania and Ukraine and, at the same time, exclude the territory of Turkey for using in map combos (I want to try another Turkey project in my map combo)?

As we haven't the slightest idea of what you have activated in your profile,
we will need your latest game log to be able to see if you might have the
problem there, so post that, please!

@BenganJ
You're right, my bad!
Unfortunately, I can't post my game log right now, I need to combine my map combo with Roex map again, then I'll be ready.
Thank you for the response!

P.S.: I forgot to say, maybe I'm wrong, but, looks like Roex map doesn't like ai traffic packs by Jazzycat and Traffic_maniac, it likes only vanilla traffic by SCS.

Well, a map is a map. We cannot have this part or that part. While former PT is still in need of some optimization, the overall is not bad, Affluence did a pretty good job on it.
Now, Romania part of Roex is way demanding in resources than Turkey. Ukraine is old but it will get there also by updates in every version.
Performance...is not a bug (judging we are in BUGS section) its just personal experience.
And very often people are over-estimating the settings for this game just because "it runs well in map X or Y" not knowning the difference between a good high-poly, nice model and some sheets with squares sugesting a building.
For example, in Roex, next to the road you will not find the models from the left, we use the ones from right. Hi-Poly, but in need of more resources. The look matters.



On the other hand, i say this for years....traffic density, custom owned trucks/trailers, weather mods, graphic mods and so on...are killing the performance big time...but people blames the maps. I test my map with no mods, because i don't have time and reasons to test it with mods.
And the new 1.40, i my opinion the worst update SCS ever made, is not helping. Not to say about playing new games at 60FPS and this one at 25. That's how well this game works.

This is a general answer, if you consider this a bug...fine...for me is not.

This one is new, i know Roex is the evil on Earth...never heard this before. Maybe your PC doesnt like the TRAFFIC DENSITY this mods come with. You know?

@tantalus

I always use (or try) the last versions of everything. Unless a new one was released within this past week, yes im using the last one.
But this is a syntaxis error, it has nothing to do with the version of the RC (unless that version was already broken?).
Syntaxis errors are important, that means that file is not actually working...

I was going to take a look myself, but the RC is blocked and cant be unzipped.

EDIT: SO, yes, apparently the RC was updated the 14th, probably i had an older version.

Lets try this again..

@tantalus

So, according to you this is the latest ROEX3SR101RC.scs? Not this one, ROEX3SR101RCv2.scs?

[tantalus]

@BenganJ

Seriously man, your response speed is even faster than the speed of light..

By the time you wrote, i was editing my post. Read it again ^^

Thank you!

Hm, what makes you think that? im using jazzycat AI packs all the time in roex. The AI classic pack, the motorcycles pack and the truck pack.

Keep in mind, in specific mods, the author (dont know if its the case of roex) may have tweaked the traffic rules and/or added map-specific traffic rules that will also aply no
matter what traffic mods are you using. If in roex there is a rule to show certain vehicles, those are going to have priority over ANY traffic mod you using.

BUT, since jazzycat only ADDS to traffic, it doesnt have traffic rules, it should not be a problem at all. I know i dont have any in my end.
I dont use any traffic rules pack like the one from cipinho or brutal traffic or idioticies like that. Those only make things a million times worst.
But modders seem completely braindead when it comes to realize this.
If i want more traffic density i just create a mini mod myself using more traffic density. Period. As simple as a rock.

Also, as Arayas said, the game engine by its own just CANT handle too many mods, it starts losing "grip" and performance all over the place. Its not about pc performance, its about the engine, that is obsolete.

To optimize the engine at least to a some degree you need to include certain launch options in the game and modify the config file as well.

But this is something BASIC when you start using mods in this game and its too extensive and offtopic to explain all of this in this thread.

About the performance of ROEX, at night for some reason it struggles (i still cant figure out why because it doesnt make any sense unless roex has outdated assets and i dont think its the case), but in day hours it runs pretty smoothly,
no matter how many traffic mods you use.

And as with everything, you need common sense. Dont use outdated or unpolished mods, check the console to see if something big is going on (like a mod showing up tons of errors because the modder is terrible)
and keep a clean log from errors as much as you can, download mods ONLY from trusted sites, if you are a clean mod user, you can use as many mods as you wish without performance drop (to a point).

In my end, right now im using 104 mods. Between big map combos, trucks, trailers, traffic, truck accessories, sounds, etc, etc, you name it. And the game runs at 60fps without hiccups all the time in most of the maps.
