Known in-game bugs
- Collisions with other vehicles may cause the vehicle models to get bound (stuck) together.
The impact of this issue can be reduced by changing the game resolution as follows. 1600x1200 (Russian title) or 1280x960 (English title) assuming your graphics card supports these resolutions. If you must use resolutions of 1024x768 or less, avoid colliding with cars and objects as you may experience game breaking physics.
- Falling through the floor or walls of the game map.
This often occurs after changing seats with other drivers many times in a short period. Change seats again or call 911 (use caution as changing seats can cause other issues, see bugs below)
- After changing seats (including changing back and forth) during the trucking mission, some of the rivals disappear making impossible to arrive at the destination first. No known fix.
- After conquering the majority of the in-game market shares (around 95%), it's no longer possible to find the remaining drivers for hire.
A workaround is to initiate a trucking race, finish it in any position and the remaining unemployed truckers (assuming they participated in the race) may be for hire after the race. This workaround is not guaranteed.
- After conquering the majority of the in-game market share, you often witness your employees engaging into any race you initiate (either directly or by changing seats). While often considered an in-game mechanic, this is very likely a memory leak. No known workaround.
