• truckersmp-cli version: [latest version]

I try to execute these steps but no sucess. The config.txt files does not exist.

Thank you for your bug report. We've encountered this before but unfortunately it looks like a bug in Wine/Proton.
The workaround you've found is basically the thing you want to do here.

The config.txt files does not exist.

It should exist. Please try to find the config file by following along this guide #50 (comment):

The tag color can be changed by editing the value of tag_color in config.txt. The default paths (for Proton) are:

ETS2: ~/.local/share/truckersmp-cli/Euro Truck Simulator 2/prefix/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/ETS2MP/config.txt
ATS: ~/.local/share/truckersmp-cli/American Truck Simulator/prefix/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/ATSMP/config.txt

You can pick a color from any of "HTML color picker" web sites and use its decimal value.
For example, if you want to use color #cccc00 (= 13421568), specify "tag_color" : 13421568 and overwrite the file:

{
   "extra" : {
      ...
   },
   "generals" : {
      ...
      "tag_color" : 13421568,
      ...
   },
   ...

python3 is useful to get decimal value:

$ python3
>>> 0xcccc00
13421568
>>> (Ctrl-d)

Hey @Lucki thanks for answer.

I tried to find this path but it does not exist. Take a look:

ETS2:

ATS:

I tried to find config.txt file on entirely system but it does not exist. I am stuck at this point. I dont know how generate this path on my file system. I installed TrucksMP using the tips written here on github instructions.

[Lucki]

You've given a custom prefix location (-x "/steam/path/compatdata/227300/pfx") so you have to look there:
/steam/path/compatdata/227300/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/ETS2MP/config.txt

Gotcha!! It works!! I found the file and set tag color perfectly. Thank you so much @Lucki. Long life to truckersmp-cli and lets ride

This happens also on Windows 10 when OpenGL renderer is used (uset r_device "gl"). I'm sure that this is a bug in Multiplayer MOD, not in Wine/Proton.

Today I have submitted a bug report to TruckersMP Support.

Another workaround is to use Direct3D 11 (--enable-d3d11) instead of OpenGL.

Unfortunately this will most likely not be fixed.

• According to TruckersMP Support, this is a known bug
• Not sure whether TMP developers are trying to fix it or won't fix it
• I wanted to ask TMP developers (not Support staff) some questions but it was not possible

Most players use D3D11 on Windows and D3D11 doesn't have this issue. So this would be low priority... 😞

I've also tried to talk to them before about including real Linux support but they're pretty closed and don't want anyone to help.
We should keep an eye on the issue with DXVK (why d3dcompiler_47.dll is needed) so we don't need that activating anymore.

Hi.

This issue should be fixed by TruckersMP: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/topic/105951-02350-released/
