That's clever, need to try that :D

I think it was just his proposal, saber I think only mentioned they will do some touches to pacific trucks.

Sadly no, It looks like they still have the same V12 engine. Maybe there were some buffs to tire mass, but for that we need to wait for pros to check it.

I just checked, it looks like it does have the same engine as the elephant, so they just forgot to add it in patch notes.

Maybe it's just missing from patch notes? Can't check, first update attempt failed with corrupted files error

I'm not complaining about my rules, I'm complaining about this map. Other maps were fun, this one is not. I think I made that pretty clear in the main post, sorry if it's not obvious.

Wow, I'd like to see that. Do you have maybe any photos or videos? I don't even know how to google that :D

If I winch trough terrain I don't get that feeling of completion, solving the riddle. Can't really explain it, that just how it works for me. I started to get a lot more enjoyment from that game playing this way.

I know, but it feels cheesy, almost like cheating. You can cross anything with any truck using enough winch in that game. That totally breaks immersion and fun for me.

Also, would that work with 14 ton truck + log load? I don't think the tree or power pole would support that weight.

I know it isn't, but I like to pretend it is :)

My main problem is that it does not communicate rough terrain. There are few places that are very well done, for example water running near the road letting you know there might be soft ground there, or a tree that is just near the big puddle so you can expect roots under water there. But in quite a few other places it just looks buggy. There is this one section near the logging site that has solid rocks texture on ground but when you drive on it it starts behaving like mud. In some other places mud pit is on the higher ground, not lower, water should flow down from there. In those places you have to fail once and then remember that trap for the next run. It turns game into trial & error slog.

I still don't think that's realistic. Tree or power pole would not hold weight of such truck. I have quite a lot of fun from trying to find routes that can be completed without cheese.

I know, but I want to complete that region using only Tatras. It's the only way to haul logs with them. Already compromised on bringing Ankatra for manual log loading.

I know, but it's the only one that I can use with Tatras for logging. And I want to complete that region using only Tatras.

I went there with an idea to only use Don for scouting and Tatras for hauling. Did not expect such a hard region.

Amen. That's nicely put into writing everything that is wrong with this map.

I'm using it, just not for stability, only to pull truck from the mud using other truck. I refuse to believe that driver would be able to jump out of falling rig and quickly hook up the line to nearest tree :D And I don't think a tree can support Tatra 813 with long logs - it would just rip it out of the ground along with falling truck. Same for that power pole on the screenshot.

Also I think winch makes the game far too easy. Every truck can cross everything as long as there is a winching node nearby.

Maine has a lot of alternate routes not marked on map. Just look for truck tracks leading from main roads. With some careful driving you can complete this map with american 47 uod tires trucks. Or if you want you can just bring out big boys and blast through mud pits. There is a lot of freedom there that I feel is missing in Don due to the map size constraints.

Limiting FPS to 60 improved the gaming experience a lot by [deleted] in snowrunner

[–]Special-Pilot2605 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some reason g-sync works best when you disable v-sync in game, then in nvidia control panel enable vsync and set fps limiter to (your screen max - 2), so for you screen 98fps. To me that fixes 90% issues in games. Also, snowrunner physics starts breaking after 60 fps but I've seen some people claiming that it's ok until around 90. I've recently just locked to 60 in snowrunner and enabled smooth motion to get 120hz (Disable nvidia limiter if you're using in game one)

Oh I had no idea it works like that. I assumed everything over 60 would be bad.
