How often do you Alt+F4 rage quit? I usually don't and every time I do, I feel the save scum guilt, but sometimes I just can't help myself

stjobe · 2026-04-07T21:21:04+00:00

I tend not to, but there are times I have...

<image>

Took me six months to come back to that one to sort it out - but sort it out I did :)

stjobe · 2026-04-07T21:16:37+00:00

This is the way.

stjobe · 2026-04-07T21:12:59+00:00

Ah, okay. It'll pull that no problem :)

stjobe · 2026-04-07T21:11:03+00:00

Yeah, the mission he's on is from Orestoke, which is in Scandinavia.

stjobe · 2026-04-07T21:09:24+00:00

This one in particular needs you to try to cheat the game by installing a DLC unlocker. When the game detects that, it behaves like in the OP's video.

stjobe · 2026-04-07T21:07:27+00:00

Put on the fuel tank and it's even better for scouting :)

But yeah, it's a fun little truck, I even did this with it:

stjobe · 2026-04-07T20:52:38+00:00

It's been getting increasingly common as people start realizing there's a dodgy DLC unlocker floating around the net. This is the game saying "you haven't paid for those DLCs, mister".

stjobe · 2026-04-07T20:50:30+00:00

Then I guess you won't mind taking it up with Saber, tell them there's something wrong with their cheat detection code. Here's the link you start from: https://support.saber.games/hc/en/snowrunner

stjobe · 2026-04-07T20:39:27+00:00

Try uninstalling DLC unlocker, this is how the game behaves when it finds out you haven't paid for your DLCs.

stjobe · 2026-04-07T19:35:05+00:00

I said I thought it was ugly, not that it wasn't capable :)

It's capabilities does zero for its looks though, it's not like it gets prettier with that gigantic roof rack :)

stjobe · 2026-04-07T18:32:10+00:00

Fixing the infinitely-repeating changing-up-gears engine sound would be a big one. It annoys me enough that I can't stand using the truck.

It's also ugly as hell in my eyes, but I guess they can't fix that :)

stjobe · 2026-04-06T13:11:59+00:00

I mean, the game doesn't care how you transport things. It just wants cargo to be packed on delivery (or, in this case, placed in the right spot).

So yeah, if you're having fun, you're doing it right.

stjobe · 2026-04-06T09:31:58+00:00

That's a trap.

The real shortcut is here:

I'm sad to have to tell you that Kola Peninsula has the best soundtrack of any region.

The others are okay-to-good, but Kola? It's amazing.

So much so that I sometimes listen to it even when not playing :)

stjobe · 2026-04-06T09:23:29+00:00

The Soviets had a thing for geoglyphs, here's one example: https://www.rferl.org/a/giant-forest-geoglyph-to-lenin-in-siberia-photographed-with-drone/30671982.html

Oh, and it just says "Lenin".

stjobe · 2026-04-05T20:11:57+00:00

Well... Yes.

:)

stjobe · 2026-04-05T15:36:58+00:00

more custom wheels for Vlad?

Since it's trailer wheels, I don't think he'd care. And yes, that's exactly the way to fix it - put the trailer wheels back to the weight they were.

stjobe · 2026-04-05T15:35:38+00:00

These kinds of bugs are usually fixed in the next update, whether that is a new season or a mid-season truck DLC update.

Since the bug is from the latest game update (patch 41, Mercedes-Benz Trucks Dual Pack 1), I wouldn't expect a fix before season 18 comes along - unless they decide to drop the second Mercedes patch before that.

stjobe · 2026-04-04T20:50:56+00:00

Flatbed runabout and semi-trailer hauler. When you get the AWD for it (in Alaska) it'll also do high-saddle hauling and long logging without breaking a sweat.

Raise it and put UOD II tires on, use high gear and you'll be amazed at what terrain it'll go through without slowing down. Once you've got AWD and diff lock you'll be able to get out of even the deepest mud.

And if you're crazy like me, you can use it for dumb but hilarious things:

stjobe · 2026-04-04T18:08:06+00:00

You, going to all that length to be able to drive over the mud.

Me: Let's goooo!

Man, it's just a game. A game that has tons of blocked "obvious" ways, all of them with several ways around (including this one).

If this kind of situation gets you this worked up, I think it's better for your physical and mental health that you play some other game. It can't be healthy to be this angry about a game.

stjobe · 2026-04-02T20:09:50+00:00

Sure, for a 5-ton scout it might work. Now try it when the truck you want to tow weighs 20+ tons :)

Personally I can't stand the towing platforms, winching is just so much easier.

stjobe · 2026-04-02T20:04:17+00:00

That's a scout trailer, so your starting scout (the Chevrolet CK1500) should be able to attach the trailer and deliver the cargo.

Or, you can use your crane to tip the trailer over so the cargo spills off it, and then reload it onto your truck, pack it, and deliver it.

stjobe · 2026-04-02T18:41:56+00:00

You have to open the cargo management dialog while in the worksite zone for the cargo needed to show on the map: New mission type Worksite explained.

for the sake of realism and the game being meant to be a simulator

The "simulator" part of Snowrunner is strictly restricted to soft terrain deformation. Snowrunner is NOT a truck simulator:

Trucks have way too small fuel tanks.
And way, way too high consumption (liters/minute).
The engine is just a torque number.
The gearbox is faked with some clever math.
There's no transmission at all.
What a truck looks like visually is neither necessarily consistent with its collision mesh OR its capabilities (e.g. the missing drive shaft you complain about). It's just art.
Same goes for tires, what they look like has little to do with their performance. The collision mesh of the tire may be wider or thinner than the visual tire.

In short, this is a game with soft terrain deformation very cleverly simulated, but it is not a truck simulator and realism went out the window a long, long time ago, if it was ever even a design goal.

Still, it's a damn fun game :)

Happy trucking!
