Public Beta of Euro Truck Simulator 2 Update 1.14 is available

At last, we are happy to announce that we are ready to start public beta test of update 1.14 for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

If you are willing to help, make sure to backup your existing player profile, and feel free to switch to the public_beta branch of Euro Truck Simulator 2 which you will find on Steam. Please use our forum to give us feedback and comments. Although we have tested the update vigorously over several internal builds in the past weeks, practice shows that during an open beta period usually even more problems are discovered and fixed. We strive to make the game updates as polished as possible. Thanks for your support and help!
