Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Euro Truck Simulator 2 running with truckersmp
  • Steam AppID of the game: 227300

System Information

I confirm:

  • [☑️] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [☑️] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

When running through the truckersmp-cli or the official TruckersMP launcher added to Steam as a third-party game, ETS 2 crashes with this error:
<error> Unhandled exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION 0x00006ffffa9d14c4. Module: Z:\mnt\sda1\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\bin\win_x64\dstorage.dll

Reproduction

Enable Proton for Euro Truck Simulator 2 to download the Windows version instead of the native

And then there are two methods

  • Run truckersmp-cli with these arguments:
    truckersmp-cli --proton-appid 1493710 --gamedir /path/to/steam_ets2 -n steam_account_name -r dx11 ustart ets2mp
  • The game is in “running” status in Steam for a few seconds and then crashes. The error log will be generated inside the prefix (~/.local/share/truckersmp-cli/Euro Truck Simulator 2/pfx) in drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/ETS2MP/Logs where it says there is an error related to dstorage.dll.
  • Download, install (with Wine) official TruckersMP launcher for Windows, add the main executable file of the launcher (located inside the Wine prefix in which it was installed, on the path drive_c/users/user/AppData/Local/TruckersMP) as a third-party game to Steam and enable Proton for it, start, click “Play” in TruckersMP launcher and... for a few seconds Euro Truck Simulator 2 in Steam is in the status “running”, then crashes. The error log appears in the same path as in the first method, but in some prefix in ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata
