Euro Truck Simulator 2 update 1.4.8

We have done a lot of work on ironing out the last remaining issues in the 1.4.x line update, and finally today it looks like we have a very solid build:​

​

Euro Truck Simulator 2 Update page​

​

This patch is really what 1.4.1 was supposed to be. We tested 1.4.1 extensively, or so we thought, but it really took the eyes of thousands of player to help us discover several remaining hidden bugs, through using various combinations of hardware, drivers and mods installed. We are also finally pushing the button for Steam players to have access to this new version of the game straight away, rather than depending on beta branches.​

​

The principle of involving the fan base in the testing proved promising. We got many more wishlist items than actual bug reports, but that's to be expected. We will definitely approach the community with a plea for help again in the future.​

​

The list of features requested by players that we have accumulated over the years is very long, and we are perhaps taking things from it and turning them into reality way slower than many of you would like, but we are doing our best, and we'll get better over time. SCS is moving into a new superb office in a matter of weeks, with 3-times the floorspace we have currently. The support from our fans (and paying customers!) is what makes us dare grow the team and speed up development of our future as well us current still evolving projects. Thank you!​

​

Last but not least, if you were sitting on the fence waiting to get ETS2 on the cheap somewhere, today may be your last chance for quite a while on Steam - Euro Truck Simulator 2 is featured in a Daily Deal event, only a few more hours left. In particular, this opportunity is very relevant to all the people complaining about disappearing trailers/jobs - playing a legal copy of the game does make a difference!​

NOTE!!! This is still for none steam versions only. Steam update will follow soon and will install automaticly

Going East!

After a long development time, finally the first Euro Truck Simulator 2 add-on is undergoing final beta testing. Some online stores have already revealed the final name of the upcoming add-on, but this is the first time we are officially announcing it here - the first DLC's name will be:

Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Going East!

We think that the new part of Europe built for this add-on looks even better then anything we have created before. You can take a look at a few countryside places from Poland, on routes between Lublin, Łódź, Warszawa and Ostrava. We'll be taking a lot more screenshots during testing now to keep you entertained.

I have only had this simulation for a short while but I am very impressed with the quality of this product. It is very addictive I can't get away from it.
One question - Will it be possible in a future patch to be able to change FOV ?

 

[Jack Vos]

oeh Steam updated ETS2 to 1.4.12!

Improved resistance to some kinds of mod conflicts
Added g_prefab_replace command simplifying rename of prefabs.
Fixed issues with advisor after teleport.
Fixed several possible instabilities.
Fixed positioning of some company trailers.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 version 1.7 update

There are actually two pieces of news we'd like to share with you today here, and also in a more graphically richer way on World of Trucks.
NEWS #1
The 1.7 update is available! Yes, the big star of this update is the new Volvo FH and FH16.



NEWS #2
With Halloween coming, we have created a special Halloween Paint Job Pack DLC for the occasion. It features 6 exclusive dark and scary themes applicable to all trucks in the game.



For veteran players of the game creating and using mods, we are aware that this is not major news for you - you can always satisfy your truck tuning appetite with a vast variety of custom mods or even your own creativity. But there are tens of thousands of players out there who never dare to apply any unofficial mods. We believe that if we take this road, we may be able give them something interesting and worthwhile. And of course completely optional.

After several months of work, we have just finished the new truck model, and we are giving it to our player base for free. We are committed to giving you more free trucks in the future, actually already two more are under development.

The idea with the paint job DLC is that such small paid-for "cosmetics" DLCs are our chance to accelerate development of the core game. Instead of begging for donations, we can offer something of value to help us fund further evolution of the game. And if this catches on, we'd like to consider more than just simple paints - there are definitely more cool opportunities, like offering support for decorating the inside of the cabin.

The Halloween Paint Jobs Pack DLC available now on Steam. This DLC is a Steam-only release. With our limited back-end infrastructure for monetizing and managing DLCs, we are not going to offer it from the official website.

We hope you'll enjoy driving the new Volvo FH and wear those beautiful Halloween paint jobs as much as we enjoyed creating them! Thank you!

May I ask you a question about the disk version of the game, which I bought 11 months ago at the Amazon website

I tried to register my disk code on Steam today, to see if I could take the easy route, keep up to date via Steam, and as you have just announced above, I could buy the DLC.

Unfortunately it didn't work, the code was not accepted. Many games allow you do this, is it likely to be something you would consider allowing?

Cheers

As far as I know it does work for digital download copies of the game, not sure about disc versions though.

Yes, that seems to be the case,, disk versions seem to fail to register, it would be nice if they could though ..... hint hint ......

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is in the Humble Jumbo Bundle 3 and is also on sale on Steam this weekend.

I picked it up on a whim and it's actually fun, although my shoulders/biceps are aching a bit after that Carlisle to Edinburgh run I just did. You really have to watch what that huge trailer is up to on this thing!
