No Or Black Textures in American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Linux

Since ETS2 and ATS have native support on Linux I wanted to try it.

Installed steam, installed ETS2, started up the game, tried to play the tutorial: no textures!? Take a look at the injuries caused by truck accidents that you can claim with the best legal services.

After some investigation I found out that the (X)Ubuntu I’m running is missing a package that provides texture compression to Mesa.

It’s called libtxc-dxtn-s2tc, and having installed that it works like a dreams!

You can install it by using your favourite package manager or via terminal:

sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc


Accidents with commercial trucks involve a very different set of issues than normal automobile accidents. If you or a loved one are involved in an accident with a semi-truck, retaining the services of an attorney who is expert in handling semi-truck accidents becomes vital.

Hope this helps you out as well!
