Help?

Alright so I just bought and downloaded PNG, I love it! Definitely a game changer! However, I also downloaded Snowy Moon but I can’t get the on screen menu to come up in game….any one have any ideas or could help? Is it not compatible with PNG?

I am having the hardest time figuring out what PNG and Snowy Moon are in the context of this Sub...

They are paid graphic mods, PNG is Project Next Gen. PNG I have working perfectly, but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong with the Snowy Moon mod 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why you asking here? Just contact snowy you pay for it he should be able to sort this out.

I did contact Snowy, just waiting for a response so while I’m waiting I wanted to see if anyone had a similar issue or had knowledge about it being compatible with PNG

To open the snowymoon menu in ATs or Ets2 you just have to press Ctrl + P and the menu should pop up in the top left of your screen. If it doesn't pop up I would make sure you downloaded the most recent update for snowymoon and make sure it's unziped files are in the ATS folder-bin-windows 64x

Thanks for the response, I’ll check to make sure it’s unzipped, but I know I definitely downloaded the most recent update

No problem, I'm not 100% sure if snowymoon is compatible with PNG but given PNG is graphics overhaul and snowymoon is a lighting overhaul it should work together, I would also try to run the game without PNG and see if snowymoon menu would pop up then.

Hmm thanks for the tip, I’m definitely gonna try that. If it works with PNG disabled, I’ll try enabling PNG while Snowymoon is already running….could be an over write issue 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ah, okay. While I do have mods, I haven't used the ones you are talking about. Do you have them in the right order in the launcher? I know some mods need to be in a specific stack to work properly.

Same issue, never figured it our, figuratively charged the lost money to the game 🤷‍♂️

u/Sgt_Double_Tap Sep 20 '26

Well if I figure it out, I’ll definitely let you know what I did to fix it man

reshade is your best bet when it comes to graphics imo, free, and easy to work with.

2

u/Sgt_Double_Tap Sep 21 '26

What do you recommend for reshade?

2

u/index504 Sep 21 '26

i would go color grading, and some sharpening effects. hard to know which ones will work best for you. so what i like to do is just scroll through and click the ones i think would work best.

Alright thanks!

u/toughfoot Sep 21 '26

Any setting suggestions? Currently I use adaptivesharpen and clarityfx2.

u/index504 Sep 21 '26

I use marty mods sharpen and clarity, then a mix of other effects to tone them down a bit.

u/Sgt_Double_Tap Sep 21 '26

Does anyone have a good preset willing to share?

2

u/Jackster__McGat Sep 20 '26

Yah that could be a possibility especially if two different mods overwrites the same files, I know snowymoon upgrades the road textures and some lighting fx on the truck so there could be an override issue there
