7. Frequently Asked Questions

Help! I have a black screen when starting a route. How can I fix this?

  • You need to ensure you have your keybindings set correctly within Euro Truck Simulator 2's keybindings. You must have Open left window, Open right window, Close left window and Close right window all set within the Interior settings. Additionally some keys may not work, such as delete and should instead be bound to an alphanumeric key.

Is it possible to drive a custom route in TruckersMP?

  • Yes! It is possible to create your own custom line across the map. You can find information regarding this by reading our knowledge base article here.

Can I drive more buses?

  • At this time, only one bus is available in-game. This is due to the significant amount of time and resources it takes to add another vehicle.

Why is the front of the bus non-collision?

  • The front of the bus is non-collision to make sure that you can go through each toll gate within the game. Otherwise, the activation point is not accessible when driving a bus at some toll gates. Additionally, it also helps when approaching a steep curb or bump.

Can I create lines on the ProMods servers?

  • No, at this moment it is not possible to start lines on the ProMods servers. You must select a line from the latest TruckersMP Bus Routes for it to work on our servers. The latest line at the time of writing this is the TruckersMP 1.53 Lines.

I am parked on the white marker to load my passengers, but it isn’t boarding them?

  • When you are parked at the correct place, make sure that you have opened your doors.
  • Make sure that the doors are on the correct side to let your passengers board, otherwise, it will not allow you to board them.

Can I use the bus without downloading DBus World?

  • To get the best playing experience, and make the most use of the exclusive features that have been created in TruckersMP, you will need to install the DBus World Client and use it alongside TruckersMP. This is what we recommend! However, it is technically possible to drive the bus without using the client, although you will not be able to transport any passengers.

Can I change the text displayed on the front of my bus?

  • Unfortunately it is not possible to have custom text displayed on the front of your bus.

Why does my game not load when I select the DBus profile?

  • When playing TruckersMP, you should select your regular profile. The DBus profile you might have installed with the DBus World Client is only used for singleplayer experience and does not work in TruckersMP.
