Rendering issues
{{Fixbox|description=Use D2GI|fix=
- This fix requires game with version 8.1.
- Fixes most bugs and works more stable, than dgVodoo2 or GOG
d3d8.dll
wrapper
- May be perfomance issues, when opened map.
- Download the latest version of D2GI
- Extract the contents of the archive into the installation folder.
Issues unresolved
Vehicle models stuck together after collision
Reducing chance of issue occurring[citation needed]
|
- Change resolution to 1600x1200 (Russian version) or 1280x960 (English version) if supported.
- If resolutions of 1024x768 or lower are the only option, avoid colliding with cars and objects to avoid experiencing 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[citation needed]
|
Rivals disappear after changing seats
- This makes it arriving at the destination first impossible. No known fix.
No more remaining drivers to hire after majority market share
- 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 to work.
Employees engage in any race after majority market share
- May be triggered by starting the race directly or by changing seats.
- While often considered an in-game mechanic, this is very likely a memory leak. No known workaround.
