Contact

Email contact@gramshift.com in English or Japanese. We reply within 7 business days, usually sooner. Please include your Windows version, your Stream Deck app version, the game and its version, the text of the "Status" line in the key's settings, and, if possible, a photo or screenshot of the key. Ideas for new keys are welcome too.

Getting started

  1. Close the game. Drag a key from the plugin's category onto your Stream Deck and open its settings.
  2. Under Telemetry DLL, press Install next to Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator. The plugin finds the games in your Steam libraries and puts its game module into the game's bin/win_x64/plugins folder, with your normal Windows rights.
  3. Start the game. If it asks you to confirm advanced SDK features, choose OK.
  4. Drive. The keys show your truck, and a press on a switch key switches it in the game.

If a key shows UPDATE DLL after an update of the plugin, close the game and press Update in the key's settings. Remove deletes the module from the game again.

Before you uninstall the plugin, close the game and press Remove in a key's settings: uninstalling the plugin from the Stream Deck app leaves the module in the game folder.

Questions

I press a switch key and nothing happens in the game.

Open the key's settings and read the Status line: it says how the last press was sent, or why it was not. If the game does not take the press from its control device, give that control a keyboard key in the game's Controls: the plugin reads it from your profile and sends it while the game is the active window.

Install says Windows did not allow it.

Close the game first: a running game keeps the module in use. If Windows protects the game folder, the key's settings show the file and the folder to copy it to; copy it there yourself.

Steam was not found, or my game is outside Steam.

Install looks for the games in your Steam libraries. For another copy of the game, copy bin/game/gramshift_hauldeck.dll from the plugin's folder into <game folder>/bin/win_x64/plugins/ yourself; the key's settings show this too.

Does it show miles and gallons in American Truck Simulator?

Yes. By default the units follow the game you play: ETS2 shows km/h, km and liters, ATS shows mph, miles and US gallons. Each key can also be set to metric or US units by hand.

Does it press keys by itself?

No. One press of a Stream Deck key switches one control, as if you used it in the game; the horn, window and air suspension keys hold their control for the time you set. It never presses anything by itself and has no macros. A Value Cycle set to switch by itself only changes what the key shows.

Does it change my saves or profiles?

No. It reads the key bindings of your profile and never writes to it. The only file it puts into the game is its module, and Remove deletes it again.

Requirements

Windows 11, Stream Deck app 6.9 or later, Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator on PC from Steam.
