30 000 Players
We're happy to announce that ETS2/ATS Lighting Improvements v2 has reached 30 000 active players in just 5 months, thank you so much for the incredible support ❤️
Meanwhile I am still working on v3 and I will keep updating v2 for new game versions until v3 released.
v3 – Planned improvements for the initial release
New lighting/tonemap algorithm
New sky system using real HDRIs like v1 (including sunlight/night for dynamic time of day)
New road textures with proper data for rain/snow
v3 – Planned improvements (not sure) for later releases
New vegetation
New textures for ground
Dynamic imperfection/dirt system for environment/vehicles
Thank you again for being part of this journey <3

2.3.32 was a very good update. the next update should add wet surface to gas station, company and garage... some of them still dry
2 days ago, there was a problem with the mod. In the snowymoon window, instead of all the settings, it says "connection error". Guys, if you've encountered this, please let me know what the problem is. I live in the CIS, and everything was working fine before.
It is using cloudflare worker which should work fine unless it is blocked locally

HI BRO appreciate goodwork snowymoon is just amazing..i had to figure out graphic settings to keep optimal fps but it is good, it would be awesome if newer versions is somehow more optimized to not eat fps a lot... i have question what is the latest version of snowymoon working on 1.58 version?
I have paid for a 3month subscribtion...I have a key to activate snowymoon v2...have downloaded the 7Z file and copied it to my steam ets2 bin file....but the game will not start
Did you try these: 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 (if its same try to add this "-color_mode sdr" https://snowymoon.io/img/hdr.png ) Disable route advisor mods Disable RTX from NVIDIA app and settings you have enabled later Uninstall "MSI After Burner" and "RivaTuner" app, restart pc Reset AMD/NVIDIA settings
Why in ETS2, when it’s raining, the roads are not wet but rain will be on the windshield. Please someone help
Hello Snowy Moon, now after your last update everything is working again, many thanks for your work, and at the same time I have another question: Do you actually maybe also refine the trailer cables in your further work in terms of appearance? That would be cool.
Hello Snow Moon SCS did a small update earlier, about 700MB, and now the game crashes again and the textures suddenly look so blurry. Could this somehow be because of your mod again? It worked fine before.
The program crashed due to the road shader, and a pop-up window appeared asking me to send the error file via email & "RT coler textre(40:9275) creation failed" error occurs.
A chuva não está molhando os vidros do caminhão, nessa última atualização
Can confirm the latest download from snowymoon.io causes crashes in ATS as of 10:53am Pacific 4-16-2026. I know 1.59 is close so not at all surprised with some bumps :-) We all know snowymoon will get em ironed out. (This is in 1.58 btw not beta)
got 2.3.19 for 1.58 ATS and still crashes randomly. More stable than the previous build but not 100% yet. No rush, rolling back to the previous build from Feb works just not as nice
I can do that, but it says on your side now at Preview 2.3.18?
Yes
Hello Snowy Moon, today I used the latest version of you on ETS2, but somehow the game crashes. Could it be because of the beta, or did I do something wrong? I used the preview.
Can you try v2.3.18 if you are on 1.59
Porque se me crashea en ets2 y en American truck no me pasa
Merhaba, Banımla ilgili bir açıklama talep etmek istiyorum. Video kaydı istediğimi belirtmeme rağmen tarafıma herhangi bir kanıt sunulmadı. Ayrıca ihlalin 7 gün olarak uygulanması gerekirken 90 gün ban verilmesini anlayamadım. Bu durumun tekrar incelenmesini ve ban süresinin neden bu şekilde uzatıldığının açık bir şekilde tarafıma bildirilmesini rica ediyorum. Eğer mümkünse ilgili video kaydının da paylaşılmasını talep ediyorum. İlginiz için teşekkür ederim.
Не отображаеться дождь на асфальте только на перекрестках трасса сухая в ats и ets
When's update to v3
никогда. плати по доллару в месяц и радуйся жизни
Hi I was just wondering if anyone is having this issue when combining reshade with snowymoon v2 on ets2 1.58, but basically when ever I use both of them together I get some sort of frame time issue like ill move my mouse and it won't move until like 5 seconds later and it happens with the wheel as wheel where there seems to be a delay sometimes with when I turn to get the game actually wants to turn the wheel. When I use snowymoon by its self its completely fine but with reshade there's an issue. Also I know its not my specs because I have a 3090 and a i9 12900k with 64gb DDR5 and ets2 installed on a m.2 SSD so my specs are fine. I was just wondering if anyone is having this issue or can help me figure out why it's doing what its doing. Thanks in advanced everyone :)
Good afternoon @Snowymoon, I admire your work. Just as your effort is truly yours, I recently saw an advertisement from another "YouTube" creator who is profiting from your creation by selling it at exaggerated prices. Since I’m not sure how you could report this, I will share the link to the "YouTube" channel. Hopefully, we can help report that channel for misuse of the creator @Snowy Moon’s intellectual property. https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxi0vtdaGJyQZPaiekJPNXlOgw4U9yXbLg ------------------------------------------------------------ “photo https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1248297386376171683/1487883752418967583/image.png?ex=69cac33a&is=69c971ba&hm=ed6762acb0ee36fac484971224182c3bacb48026a81d106ac2a57d440d96ddae&
Thank you <3 But they are selling their own settings/filters etc so I cannot decide that, if player wants to buy it even if it was 1000$ it is up to players
mantap
Just want to say that the 2.3.8 update is a massive improvment as in no more shimmering lamp post - only thing that seems odd now is the step from day to night is a bit weird as you can see it getting dark in stages but apart from that its getting a lot better :)
Brother, I really love the mod — it’s honestly the best money I’ve ever spent on this game. I know you’re working on V3, so I wanted to ask if you could improve how metallic paint jobs are handled. Right now, when I use metallic paint, it appears matte instead of having that proper metallic shine. Also, I recently changed my PC and I’m now using an Intel graphics card (Intel B580). It doesn’t seem to work very well with your mod — definitely not as well as when I was using an NVIDIA card. Other games run fine, but with ETS2 and Snowymoon I experience a lot of crashes, especially when taking screenshots.
Did you try v2.3.8 is it still same?
How to download snowymoon?
https://snowymoon.io/?dl=v2 download current or preview version from bottom of the page
Is it possible to implement dynamic shadows?
Any update for 1.58 to fix dry roads like in Berlin and many other places? 1.57 was 95% fixed but 1.58, 60 to 70% of the roads are not fixed. I've removed all plugins and everything inside x64 (not the ets2.exe) verified the game files and reinstalled your mod inlcluding dlss, deleted config.cfg but it's still the same?? https://files.fm/u/xmsnv4k6sj
In my opinion, there will not be future updates for V2. I think Snowy now working full time on V3. At least I hope so...
Asinei por 3 messes até agora não recebi a chave de aseso da erro fala que não sou asinante como pode isso preciso de ajuda!!
saludos cordiales soy suscrito desde varios meses y tengo problema con la version 1.58 desde q se actualizo el ets2 y ats a esa version no me llego ningun correo como anteriormente me llegara. por favor me puede enviar el correo para snowy moon para la 1.58
Hello. I have a problem. After updating ETS2 to 1.58, when using the application, my road textures look like this: https://files.fm/f/x2urjsmn72 . I've tried every possible method described on the site, but all have failed. With and without mods, with and without reshaders, even after reinstalling the game and creating a new, clean profile. To no avail.
I got the same problem as well
I use AMD 9070GRE, and with this plug-in wipers and mirrors will appear smearing, especially when the wipers and trees overlap, which is very serious, is it a bad optimization of the AMD graphics card or what is the problem? Will this problem be solved in the future?
Ibe just purchased how do i get my key, It says watch video ?
30K Players but no feature update since 1.56. I'm still waiting the HDR fix. I'm tired of deactivate the HDR everytime for starting the game. Can you release the HDR update before v3? We have to wait until next year for v3 i guess :/
even this mod without hdr looks better than vanilla game with hdr
I cant play without this mod anymore. I also like its easy to install and updating it...
Hello, for some reason, I am experiencing poor anti-aliasing in the game. I have tried all the settings on ultra and 100 and 200% scale. Also, the night exposure slider is not working. How can I fix this?
The night exposure slider only works if you are using lighting method A or B.
why its still not working on mine my ats 1.58v, i downloaded 2.3.1 preview version then replace the .dll, its still not compatible
Are you sure you did correctly? Delete dxgi.dll from bin/win_x64 folder and put new one
some roads are not wet in rain game 1.58 with 2.3.1 but was ok in v2_0_35_19 with 1.57 when turning of the mod with aa off then road become wet again
These issues with the dry roads are being fixed by Snowy Moon. There will be an update to the Plugin soon. Just a little patience from all of us to give him the time to fix it.
When is snowymoon compatible with the ets 1.58 version? Looking forward to it .
"- For ETS2/ATS 1.58 update download plugin version 2.3.1 from website and replace dxgi.dll from bin/win_x64 folder."
I am busy for a few days, working on auto shader system for roads to fix dry/wet roads, it is taking time because it is pretty complex. Meanwhile: - For ETS2/ATS 1.58 update download plugin version 2.3.1 from website and replace dxgi.dll from bin/win_x64 folder. - If you have black screen, try "Disable Windows HDR (if its same try to add this "-color_mode sdr" https://snowymoon.io/img/hdr.png )" or try to use TAA/Clarity instead of DLSS/DLAA - If you have connection error, it might antivirus blocking license check or regional block/issue, try to disable antivirus/whitelist plugin+game, try to use vpn if you think it is regional block/issue - To use on Free Sundays, you just need to download 2.3.1 from website and install the plugin, you don't need license key to use on Sundays
I would love to make a one-time payment instead of a subscription system. Do you have such an idea in the future?
It’s possible , just buy a subscription you like . And then cancel recurring payments . Then it won’t pay by itself
Just want to say, I've been eyeballing this mod for a few days and finally pulled the trigger and bought the 6 month option. AMAZING! ! ! I haven't sat down and enjoyed playing a game in so long until I installed this! Fantastic work you are putting out! Looking forward to future updates and what you have to bring to the table. I cannot thank you enough for what you have brought to this awesome community! Only a couple of issues I've found so far after a few hours of gameplay. Under tunnels, the road is still wet/flooded while raining and during the night when it's raining, when the lightning lights up the sky and the road, the road around is dry when the lightning strikes. But from what I've read so far, this is what is being worked on. Nonetheless, a beautiful mod! So happy with my purchase as this is my first paid mod in all the games I play! And I never leave reviews for anything but THIS, THIS deserves my time to say Thank You!
10000% agree! This is the only graphic addon that truly wowed me! The author is doing a superb job. For anyone running ATS/ETS2, this addon is a must have!
i go on the website thing click patreon then the option is there to get the key but no box to paste it in to

THIS IS THE ONLY GRAPHICS ADDON YOU WILL EVER NEED FOR ATS/ETS2! SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!! THIS MOD TOTALLY TRANSFORMED THE GAME FOR ME! KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK. SORRY FOR MY SHOUTING BUT YOU REALLLLLLLLLLY IMPRESSED ME WITH THIS PROJECT! I CAN'T WAIT FOR V3 AND TO SEE WHAT IT'LL OFFER!
<3
Hi Snowy, I have a Tier 1 Patreon membership for ETS 2. I installed the paid files correctly. My game is on DirectX 11 and version 1.58. For some reason, when I try to enter the game, it doesn't ask for a license key, and when I press the End key, I get a "connect error." I've uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times, but it still doesn't ask for a license key; the "connect error" message remains. I don't know what to do. Can you help me? Is it my fault or the files? I'm looking forward to your continued success, man <3
<3 Do you have any antivirus that might block license check? Also you installed v2 right?
I downloaded the new one and opened the game , but somehow it didn't ask me for the license key, I used it before in older version but now I redownloaded it and it didn't ask me again, is it normal or I did something wrong ? thank you also for your work and time brother, wish you luck and success <3
Can you open plugin menu by pressing CTRL+P or END keys?
Celebrate 30,000 Subscription First.Then I encountered a rainy day in the game, part of the road dry, part of the wet situation, I tried a lot of methods still did not solve, with the latest version of the snowymoon, with 6.4.1 reshade, and PNG, oh,it is very uncomfortable,help me😭😭😭
I am working on automated system to create road shaders runtime which is going to solve this issue
I accidentally filled in the wrong email address as the author, 280…@qq.com What should I do if I write qq.ocm,I bought the key for ETS2,what should i do?
Solved <3
on ETS2 version 1.58, i have noticed that some roads and company floors are still dry during a heavy rainfall. Especially in Nordic horizon DLC and Greece DLC. it does not look good.
I will try to fix it, probably because of new material filtering system, its trying to detect roads to reduce performance impact
Hi SnowyMoon, is it possible to remove motion blur on vehicle wheels when it's set higher? Thank you and appreciate your work! 🙏
It will be possible with v3
Good afternoon, I have a question. I have two computers, one with an Nvidia graphics card, which works quite well with the files, but the other has an AMD RX560 graphics card, which causes the game to lag and slow down, and an AMD processor with new integrated graphics. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
For the AMD RX560, it's obviously due to the 4GB of memory it has. It's too little, even with 8GB you have to make sacrifices. For the Nvidia, you didn't tell us which one you have, so I conclude that it's better than AMD.
👍
How
Hello. So, I have a question. I havé a RX7800XT And a ryzen 7 5800X3D, I keep getting like 55 fps ( alot of input lag ) my screen is 180hz. How to improve this ? Am I doing something wrong ? Thanks !
this is due to taa on this mod, if fsr was implemented it would probably work a lot better, I have a 7900xt triple setup and i avg 60fps with this mod, 180 without

ok so i tried lighting_v2_0_35 and lighting_v2_3_1 and the reflections on wet roads are all just black smearing and does not look good so went back to lighting_v2_1_0 in the same place as the black smearing reflections and it was gone and looks perfect so for now i will be sticking with lighting_v2_1_0 - i do have screenshots but cant post them here :(
Both 2.1.0 and 2.3.1 are same for roads/reflections, I just fixed rain/snow particles and rain drops :(
Thx snowy for prompt update m8 ;)
<3
when is plugin gonna be adpated for ets2.158
29/01/2026 - v2.1.0 - Added game version 1.58 support and fixed some wet road issues (if you see any issue please report in the comments).
It appears the plugin is not working in ATS version 1.58.
will the lighting mod work with ats update 1.58 ?
The VR community truly thank you Snowymoon! I just use the basic TAA mod and its a life saver. Keep up the good work :) :)
We are always with you!!!!!!!
are you giving us preview versions? or you are maybe drowning to feedback :-)
For example, I have the EU Roadmap as a mod. Could it possibly be the reason the game mostly crashes when I drive to Cuxhaven, for example?
Maybe I also installed something wrong, unfortunately I don’t know because I’m not really familiar with it.
Hello, hi, maybe you can help me somehow, my game still keeps crashing. Can I send you a photo of the game.log file by email? Maybe you know what it could be?
parabéns, vc tem dicas de configuração para usuários de intel arc b580
Huge congrats to Snowy Moon! 30,000 active players in just 5 months is an amazing achievement 👏 v3 sounds incredible — can’t wait to see what’s coming next. Keep up the great work! 🚛✨
Nice Monthly income :) Happy for you!!! Thanks for your great work!
Idk if is possible, but i think would be nice the possibility to have a animated driver in truck cab, this is possible? 🥲
Do you know if there is anyway to optimize better for VR or is it even worth it to try?
You can try to lower mirror quality and plugin quality setting but for actual good performance forward rendering needed for VR to reduce vram usage, I might try to do that later but its not priority currently :/
Thanks man rlly cant play without this. Continue and we love you <3
Snowy Moon obrigado por tudo,pagarei com satisfação para apoiar esse trabalho incrível
SCS deveria colocar uma estátua sua no prédio deles. Teu trabalho que renovou meu ânimo em jogar.
You did a damn good job and the games look amazing with your graphics mod.
Great! I've had ups and downs with Snowymoon changes in the past, but i've put my faith in your project again. It's impossible to play without it! Thanks! ❤️
It’s because is a great product and the price is affordable for a subscription. Great work, buddy!
Great, keep going you give us a lot of fun played it
Love it. I hope the haters do as well 😂 Keep killing it bro 😉
Wow, congratulations! You fully deserve it. You have revolutionized ETS2 and thank you for everything.
Congratulations Great work!
is v3 coming soon?
I don't know yet
Hey Snowy Moon, first of all, congratulations on the 30,000 players, and one more question: does that mean that later the trucks will get dirty too?
It is a little bit hard because I am going to do it without any data from game, with only rendering data provided by game. So I am not sure if I can do it with the data I can get from rendering only but I will try
To be honest mate you've done an absolute amazing job transforming how the game looks especially when it rains, and with you giving the ability to adjust things with your overlay and adding PNG and project ultimate into the mix, it makes it even better again. The only thing I can truthfully say is the ghosting is still visible for me on the drivers window, so I'm hoping you could look into that and rectify it soon. Other than that you've done a fantastic job 👍
Thanks for the amazing plugin. I’m waiting for when you’ll add HDR support.
Amazing work mate!! 💙
🙌🙌🙌
Good job, my brother, may God continue to bless you always. I'm promoting your work a lot because it's great.
Y deserve it ❤️ keep going with the good work 🤠
🥳
Been a pleasure using your plugin
The skys of V1 was the best ones I’ve ever seen 👍
Круто, поздравляю! Продолжай в топ же духе!👍🏻
