I have a similar problem as here discribed, with the only difference that I own the game and haven't got a cracked version.

Hello
Can you post new game.log to make sure if it's latest because some mods has been updated later?
You have a lot of mods in this game.log that is provided soon a month ago.
Do you have tried first with only Promods and add one by one mod until you found the culprit?
Make sure you have latest version of mods updated.

Looks like errors is related to cargo trailers and trucks (trucks mods that needs to be removed, must have been sold first and use standard SCS truck).

I'm having this issue, too. Is it ok to post here or should i create a new topic?
Latest gfx drivers, ProMods 2.25 and ETS2 auto updated via Steam, new profiles with just ProMods always have the bug.

Hello,

i found a Grafic Bug inGame. My Graficcard and all other Parts are updated.

I have only installed the ProMod 2.25 and ETS2 at the newest Version.

Here's the image Schulle_ tried to post. Seems like a variant of the weird trailer shadow reported here.

Ok I've merged the topics, could both of you post a fresh game log please (with only ProMods enabled of course).

Here it goes:



The glitch only seems to happen (in my case, at least) with machinery cargoes such as:
-Digger 500 (8 t)
-Diggers (23 t)
-Excavator (24 t)
-Forklifts (11 t)
-Tractors (11 t)
-Wind Turbine Tower (19 t)
-some Man trucks (even the ones parked in exposition at truck dealer)

Things I have already done without success:
-update W10 x64 to latest (Fall Creators, 1709 / 16299.125)
-update nVidia drivers
-check integrity of PM files (test tool says ok), re-download anyway and re-check before installation
-use Steam interface to check ETS2's file integrity
-change render scale back to 100% (usually reduce value for my low-end PC)
-scan whole system for virus
-stress-test cpu/memory/gfx card for faulty hardware

Kind of running out of ideas here, but it's not a game-breaking bug just gets me wondering why/what's happening...
EDIT: bumping after 14 days...

i had from time to time also some bad shadows, but not that strong like yours.
in the moment not, way ever?

if i saw them then i did always:
uset r_fake_shadows 0

maybe not best way to solve this problem, but better then to play with this bad shadows.

i am not sure, but i think if you have one bad trailer (mod), then it is like a virus. :D
