Euro Truck Simulator 2: Can We Get a Feature to Punch Passengers?

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: I really hope they add an option to disable it (an official one—I don’t like using mods) or at least balance it better, because the way it is now, it’s just unplayable.

What you need to know

Playing as a bus driver introduces a frustrating G-force mechanic that causes passengers to complain whenever you brake harshly due to bad drivers at roundabouts. Currently, there is no official feature to disable this mechanic, nor is there a way to punch complaining passengers. Players find the bus driving experience unplayable in its current state and are hoping for an official setting or better balancing from the developers.

Step by step

  1. Continue playing without mods if you prefer official settings, keeping in mind that no official toggle currently exists to turn off the passenger complaints.
  2. Search for community-made modifications if you are willing to use them to alter the current bus mechanics, while noting that official options are still heavily requested.
  3. Drive with extreme caution around roundabouts and other traffic to avoid harsh braking and prevent passengers from voicing their complaints.

Tips

  • Watch out for unpredictable drivers pulling out in front of you to minimize sudden stops.
  • Anticipate stops and turns well in advance to keep the G-force mechanic from triggering passenger moans.

What players reported

For real, every time I have to break harshly because some numpty pulled out on me at a roundabout some prat has to have a moan. Please allow me to stop the bus, stand up, and deck the passenger that tutted. Yours truly, The bus driver

What players suggest

The experience of driving buses is being completely ruined for me because of this wretched G-force mechanic. I’m used to making deliveries in trucks without any issues, but when it comes to buses, it’s nothing but frustration. I really hope they add an option to disable it (an official one—I don’t like using mods) or at least balance it better, because the way it is now, it’s just unplayable.
