20 000 Players

We're happy to announce that ETS2/ATS Lighting Improvements v2 has reached 20 000 active players in just 3 months, thank you so much for the incredible support ❤️

I've officially started development of v3, and my full focus is now on ETS2 & ATS. My goal is to improve visual quality, performance, and compatibility while adding new features.

Thank you again for being part of this journey <3

Warning to all subscribers: Check your bank accounts. There are thefts occurring every 10 days without your knowledge. Check your card balance and you will discover the money that has been withdrawn without your consent.

THOMH · January 21, 2026

To clarify, $11.40 was withdrawn on 12/22/2025 for a one-year subscription, and another $1 was withdrawn on 09/01/2026, and yet another $1 was withdrawn on 20/01/2026. I don't understand if $1 is being stolen every 10 days, or what's going on. Could you please explain what's happening and why the money is being withdrawn every 10 days? I initially paid $11.40. Why this fraud and theft? If I hadn't noticed, the theft would have continued every 10 days.

Patreon is handling subscriptions, if there is a problem you should contact patreon support, all I can see is this: https://i.imgur.com/COpqCUf.png Are you sure you are not subscribed to someone else?

THOMH · January 21, 2026

My friend, I subscribed for the year and paid $11.40, and just now I noticed that $1 is being deducted from my card balance every month. Why is this fraud happening? I canceled my membership. My money has been stolen every month, and I paid the full amount for the entire year.

is it possible for you to disable forced specular on interior materials ? in blender i have my alcantara leather with black specular non reflecting anything and ingame its reflecting annoying white specular/shiniess. also i wanted to ask if its possible to contact you any other way so i can send you a picture of something (another problem about flares on lighting a/b/c, default is okay)

I didn't change algorithm of lighting methods, if you are using some weather mods that might be the problem

Snowy Moon · December 23, 2025

I am a little bit sick and focused on v3 development. If you have an issue please follow these (crash etc issues always because of some app/mod/plugin or NVIDIA/AMD settings): ** Performance Tips Set resolution scaling from game settings to 100%. You can lower resolution of mirrors. If you have mirror quality medium or high then you will have new lighting applied to mirrors and a custom TAA pass applied to mirrors. You can set mirror quality to low but you will lose the lighting and TAA for mirrors. Try Quality Medium from plugin settings. ** Possible Crash/Not Working/Black Screen Reasons and Fixes * Multimonitor might glitch at some places after 1.56 version. If you have antivirus/windows antivirus, turn off antivirus/windows antivirus or whitelist mod .dll files. Redownload .dll files and put them again If you are using ReShade, use version 6.4 or older versions. 6.5 and newer versions are not supported. Always start the game with DirectX 11. For VR (only WMR) use OpenXR without OpenXR Toolkit. Instead use "OpenXR Tools for Windows Mixed Reality" from Windows Store and enable OpenXR from SteamVR (SteamVR Settings > OpenXR > Set OpenXR as Runtime). Disable Windows HDR Disable route advisor mods Disable RTX from NVIDIA app and settings you have enabled later Close "RivaTuner" app Reset AMD/NVIDIA settings Try a profile with no mods Reset your game config.cfg (go to documents -> ETS2/ATS folder -> delete config.cfg -> restart game)

hey guys. got 2 of my friends which got problem with patreon. No posibble login(account deactivated) and i dont know why. FIrst friend logged and after few minutes deactivated. Second friend had same problem, he created new profile, bought snowymoon and he played 1 day and second day account deactivated. any solution why? i bet its not happened only 2 friends of mine. idea how protect this never happen?

S
Snowy Moon · December 18, 2025

It is patreon security, sometimes they check and unblock after a few days but I have no control over patreon security. If patreon doesn't unblock they can try to contact patreon then it should be fine

Matthias · December 16, 2025

...as a result, the mod enhances the graphics to such an extent that I sometimes can't tell the difference between the game and photorealism...

M
Matthias · December 16, 2025

Congratulations, in my opinion your work deserves much more success and significantly greater recognition in the ETS/ATS community. Here's a story about that... ;-)))))) Recently, a relatively experienced ETS/ATS gamer raised an objection to your mod that made me laugh out loud: “With too many, or the wrong mods, you can irretrievably ruin your game profile.” It seems that there is still a high percentage of gamers who have not understood the concept of your mod. Either because they don't want to or simply because they can't. My response that your mod is neither inserted via the mod manager, nor reflected in the profile.sii, nor appears anywhere else in the depths of the game's file structure, was not accepted. My thoughts on this: Those who don't know any better and don't ask questions when in doubt deserve no better. Perhaps this general ignorance would be an opportunity for me to gain even more users through targeted knowledge transfer. You deserve it, with your downright ingenious construction...

marc · December 12, 2025

Congratulations! And so well deserved... I'll be completely honest with you! Without you, I wouldn't have played... Without the modders, I wouldn't have played... So thank you, and bring on V3!

Руслан Нуриев · December 12, 2025

Please tell me why there is a small flicker when I turn on TAA, and how I can fix it. There is no flicker when I use DLAA

M
MichalisRH · December 12, 2025

It's clearly a SCS graphics engine issue. We all have the same problem with more or less flickering depending on the resolution. The TAA that scs has added is a very crude addition. It's not Native TAA. And probably if I'm not mistaken this also limits the TAA capabilities of Snowy Moon.

M
Mall su · December 12, 2025

Thank you for using your mods I've been using Lightning Improv2 normally. I downloaded it from a new pc and applied it to ets2, but the temporal anti-aliasing modes are available but dlaa,dlss is not supported. Can you help?

M
MichalisRH · December 12, 2025

Dlaa and Dlss are only supported by Nvidia RTX series graphics cards.

jesse haight · December 12, 2025

Hey brother, idk if it’s something you know or not, but there’s flickering stuff on the latest version of the lighting in ats, idk if it’s your lighting stuff or reshade cuz it ain’t my graphics stuff. I took them out and it still did it. But it’s driving me nuts and I can’t figure out which one is doing it. Current setup: SnowymoonV2 JBX graphics 3 Project next gen And project ultimate reshade revised v1

S
Snowy Moon · December 18, 2025

Did you try with no mods?

M
Mrs Approved Budget · December 11, 2025

Snowy is it possible for you to change how your lighting section works? Like if I want to play around with the colours/tonemap and others on A, it'll change all other settings in B to D? Also is there a way to link my account from your website to this as it's asking me to update when I already have your 6 months option? Thanks

S
Snowy Moon · December 18, 2025

I don't think thats a good idea, it has different profiles for each lighting algorithm. What do you mean by linking account? When there is an update you can download without any license key/account, its always publicly available

MichalisRH · December 11, 2025

Huge congratulations on reaching 20,000 active players in just three months! It’s truly impressive, yet completely deserved, because the work you put into Lighting Improvements shows in every detail. The mod has taken the ETS2/ATS experience to a whole new level, both visually and in terms of realism, and it’s clear that the community appreciates it. It’s fantastic to hear that you’ve already started developing v3 and that you’re now fully focusing on ETS2 & ATS. I can’t wait to see the improvements in visual quality, performance, and compatibility, as well as the new features you’re planning. Every update you release shows how much passion and professionalism you bring to your work, so I’m sure v3 will raise the bar even higher. Thank you for sharing this journey with us and for all the effort you put into continuously improving our experience. Keep it up — the community is right behind you! ❤️🚛

Onur Korkmaz · December 11, 2025

Do you have any plans of revisiting motion blur? It's already pretty good but I believe it could use some improvements, especially in high values (+5) the wheels of AI vehicles starts to look weird

S
Snowy Moon · December 11, 2025

It is because motion blur is blurring straight line by using current and last frame position on screen but wheels are rotating so they need custom shaders to calculate radial motion blur. The problem is I am not using data from game to avoid possible problems with future game updates so it cannot get speed of wheel to calculate radial motion blur

love the mod real game changer but gotta admit last few updates make my ingame really dark only seems to be when i change the dxgi.dll file menus all good but in game looks why to dark i keep the old file in but means its out of date cant work out how to fix it

S
Snowy Moon · December 11, 2025

It is probably because of 1.57 HDR support, try to disable Windows HDR and game HDR

Eric R · December 11, 2025

Looking forward to discovering v3. Will it be more optimized for VR? FPS is important.

S
Snowy Moon · December 11, 2025

I think there should be a custom version for VR to get nice performance and graphics. Current lighting method I am using requires SSAO to look good because game doesn't have baked AO. SSAO is pretty heavy to render at high resolution and it must be rendered twice for VR. So I am not sure yet what can I do to get best result and keep performance nice for VR but I will check it out later

Fantastic news, on all fronts! The one thing i would ask though, is please make sure that the rainy weather functions properly in VR in v3. Ever since first using V2 there has always been problems with reflections on the road surfaces that were so bad i had to completely turn off any chance of rain in the game.
