A lucky combination of factors on both sides has brought a special guest into our office. During the next few weeks, we'll have Piotrek from eurotrucksimulator2.pl "embedded" here in SCS Software's office, helping us test and balance Euro Truck Simulator 2, and no doubt doing a little reporting from the trenches on his own. (OK any bugs left in the game when it ships are his fault! ;-) )
Piotrek has been taking screenshots along the way while playing, mostly for use to document bugs and glitches in the game of course, but here is his own choice of a few nice screens from his testing today...

You can buy upgrades in ETS2, so I'm guessing these are the cheapest ones.
DeleteAnyone else notice that he's using a 19/20" screen? I feel sorry for the guy cuz I'm on a 24" and it feels tiny compared to my brother's 27"...heh

DeleteI have 19' and im happy with it :P
DeleteI'd work on a 15" if i could already play ETS2 NOW!
Deleteyou guys are kinda missing the point, SCS has sold games, is making games, supposedly HAS money, and, as a company they can buy stuff tax free. Just thought it was a bit odd is all...
DeleteMaybe it is proof that they spend it all on improving things in their products and not stuff for themselves? (c:
DeleteReally lucky man...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, every time I see new screenshots my heart stopped because I think that my pc can't run this game, or can run it but with low performance...I'll wait for the demo but if STD doesn't run so good, I'm really worried about the big brother ETS2! Will see :D
Please....include the "S" on the end, otherwise it puts rather unpleasant thoughts in my head! (Sexually Transmitted Disease)
DeleteGoogle translates STDS or STDs etc in English text to what would be “Sexually Transmitted Diseases” in most other languages.

Polygons:459,174
What kind of PC should it be to run the game that would look like that? XD
DeleteAwesome heroic man and Anonymous. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteThe Actros MP4 is 284000 + 460000 = 744000 Polygons if you read the txt not the spec, so it could be up to 1488000 triangles!
DeleteI'm wondering what's the configuration of that PC. From those pictures, I think he is playing the game on max details.
ReplyDeletegood work piotrek hope the game ships with no bugs go to http://www.trucksimsforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=187&t=14880 fr mods
ReplyDeleteNice work SCS, game looks great!
ReplyDeletePS, sorry I've not been around, I'm on holiday.
That guy doesn't seem to look much of a truck driver. Lol. He's doing the good thing anyway XD Hopefully, SCS have provided him with food and place to sleep XD
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to look like a truck driver to be a truck driver. You must have the skills and the attitude.
DeleteNiceley said.
DeleteThis is fantastic that you guys at SCS have taken time from your day and shared it with your community inviting them into your hub and letting them test run the 1 the only, simply the best, game ever to be invented.
ReplyDeleteFair play Piotrek, and well done SCS fantastic updates every other day i can feel my wallet opening again for yet another superb game from the scs team.
thanks Chaps/Ladies

Any ETS2 news is good news :)
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one wondering how many women work at SCS? First of all, it's a gaming developper, but second, it makes games that involves big rigs, buses and killing animals (men's worlds)
ReplyDeleteOn topic:
Looks great SCS, but do I need a NASA computer to drive normally without terrible graphics?
Can't wait 'til the release, I hope you'll keep posting nice pics, but more important is that you make a good game of course!
thats a bit sexist, i know loads of women drivers. and who do you think works on there reception or even how do you know if they have any programmers that arn't women.
Deletei recon the CEO of SCS has got the eye for decent women working in his office to give his team something to look at whilst they are working hard on super game ETS2.
I hope they employ more women if they keep us informed like this on the blog.
your right about one thing though, it does look great and judging by the game play of STDS you dont need NASA's PC to run it just something that can stand on its own 2 feet.
Molie
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or equally sexist as the first Anon...
DeleteI only hope there will be some sound at the junction between the bridge and the road in ETS2.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really hope there will be bad roads in some regions (for example Czech Republic) in ETS2. In Czech republic at the junction between the bridge and the road, when you go over it the car does a little jump.
I hope you understand me. ^_^
a “bridge expansion joint”
DeleteJunction & joint = almost the same but are used in different ways as to how things “join” together.
When I first buy this game I will look for major bugs, but there won't be because SCS took lots of time with this game they already fixed the major bugs. When I see one liitle bug I would, "scream It's all your Fault Piotrek!"
ReplyDeleteScs, is it possible to finally make reflectors on the concrete blocks and guardrails ?
ReplyDeleteModders have done this on GTS and ETS 1, with mere skinning so I asked myself if you guys could Implement it as well...
It will just take a couple of minutes to reskin the concrete or rail.dds with some reflectors (red or green or white I dont care as long as we finally get them)...
Simple and easy things like that give the game an extra reality dimension !
Also reflectors needed for the road side posts!
DeleteAnd also traffic signs should be more reflective from distance.
DeleteCats eyes would be more appropriate than reflectors on concrete blocks, guardrails or posts, as many roads have neither concrete blocks, guardrails or posts but DO have cats eyes.

Deleteare you guy's considering doing an open beta, it's one of the best and cheapest ways of debugging. you buy the game in the beta stage (at a little discount), help to get rid of the bugs, and when the game is complete you get the full version. like minecraft XD.
ReplyDeleteThere is already beta opened for some people who are probably people that SCS trusts or they might be accompanied with them.
DeleteHello. Does wipers have 2 or 3 speeds ? Like in Hard Truck 2. Can I change motor oil, bulbs, tires in this game ? On button of course. What about CB-radio ? Like in 18 WoS.
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no, no and no you can not.
DeleteNice shots SCS team...
ReplyDeleteDo not wait to buy my ETS2!
Piotrek - Redneck. Himself in the ETS-2 and others do not give, whether it is good Place game, all played into it, do not be a goon.
ReplyDeleteSomeone out there should quit using Google Translator first...
DeletePiotrek, Congratulations! Welcome to team!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I report bugs?
ReplyDeleteMedia player:
1. Can't play mp3s because of the filename containing language specific characters, please read the filenames in UTF-8.
2. I don't want to duplicate the music files, so please follow the shortcuts made in the music folder.
3. Radio streams are not working for me, I don't know why.
Traffic lights:
1. Semaphore's yellow light can't really be seen and please remove that little texture like a reflection on each semaphore light. It's weird because it's not the actual reflection and even weirder at night.
2. Truck headlights go through everything, cars and trucks in your front, bridge pillars, etc. Light should stop when reaching any material except glass.
3. In my case the speedometer and everything near shows blurred. If I look left or right it's starting to become very clear as it should be on standar view. Resolution: 1366x768.
These bugs are in Scania Truck Driving Simulator, but they might be alse in ETS2. Please check them.
Thank you.
Hello Danny3! If you really want to help, send me detailed report with screenshots to turecek.scs@centrum.cz I will refer to bug tracking program and I will check if these topics are or not in solve.
DeleteTo get working radiostreams you should put an IP-adress in that file. If you are doing it wrong, it's not SCS' fault. Someone was writing about that before and he helped me to get it working in my game. Download the m3u, open it in text editor and you'll see an IP there.
DeleteAbout that reflection - yeah, thought that was wierd, too, but forgot to write bout it XD
@Michal,
DeleteHello mate, I reported the problem to you about the headlights 2 days while I was testing the latest beta
@Michal,
DeleteI also have sent you a bug report! Take a look!
Hi Michael, thanks for replying. I will send you a detailed report tomorrow.
Delete@Edward,
I think I edited the file correctly. Have a look:
live_stream_def : .live_streams {
stream_data[]: "http://89.238.252.130:7000|Europa FM"
stream_data[]: "http://81.18.78.230:8000|Radio Galaxy"
stream_data[]: "http://80.86.106.136:80|Kiss FM"
}
BTW, can someone activate pre html tags?
That looks fine. Should work. If it's not try to put another "{" at the beginning and one "}" in the end.
DeleteHi SCS TEAM
ReplyDeleteWe want to '' TRUCK DAMAGE '' I think very Realistik game with TRUCK
DAMGE. I hope you can DO IT. GOOK LUCK...
Don't try to damage your truck and you won't need that XD
DeleteI dont Agree EDWARD :)
DeleteDamage must be in ETS2 but SCS team never dont care. :(:(: I am ver unhappy :S
the truck manufacturers that have allowed SCS to use their designs in the game wont allow SCS to damage them, at least that's what I think
DeleteNormally in games with multiple real life vehicles, all of them will suffer the same amount of damage under the same situation, so no one is seen to be worse or better than any of the others, and well VW (MAN & Scania) and Merc are normally happy for their cars in games to take damage
Delete@ MADXMAX
DeleteYou may be justified. but realism damage.
@Anonymous
I totally Agree. Your comment is good.
SCS, please make Cyrillic work on the display. Since it doesn't and instead of "km/h" in the language it's meant to be, there's just "/". Haven't that problem been reported before? Or I am the only one, who's having it?
ReplyDeleteguys, it would be a dream come true if u include a snow patch in it, please consider making snowy weather, it will be really cool ;-)
ReplyDeleteIve Just had Amazon Email me regarding ETS 2 they are quoting 16 August is this right ?
ReplyDeleteI thought the team was looking well into september are Amazon just trying to get there figures up for the next financial quarter ?
Molie
Provisionally and SUBJECT TO CHANGE: 21st September is what I hear
DeleteYeah thats what i thought it was, im not even going to hold that date, as i think the SCS team are doing a grand job with keeping this blog up to date and keeping us informed with with game progress.
DeleteI am looking forward to more screenies from Pietrek.

I think its very sad to see that SCS is using millions of hours to make these trucks as near the real thing, using many hours recording real sounds, modeling the truck and the first thing spoiled brad do is.... Changing it. NO, we want another sound here and there, change the rims, change the suspension and engine and so on.
DeleteI know that I couldn't care less, but I still think its sad. I will change the game because I can... Hmmm. But until then I will complain in here that things are unrealistic.. This does not make sens, maybe I'm to old for this shit.
Ups, my ^ messsage should have been in the one below instead..
DeleteI found this nice mod for Scania truck that have a very good physics better than the truck in the game. here is the link: http://truckmodshop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=std&action=display&thread=4295
ReplyDeletelol, they haven’t even managed to change the power from 380 to 420 and all the physics are the same bar the cab movement which will end up nodding back and forth indefinitely after a minor bang due to lack of damping and a change in boost which just affects audio mainly, so from a physics point of view all they have managed is to introduce a problem and make the turbo sound a little louder.

Hello. I think, that I found here bug. In 22:06 truck shows 20˚C
ReplyDeleteIn 01:48 truck shows 20˚C. Again. Maybe it's bug?
Good luck for creators of this game.
I see here that you have fix a bug from STDS. The lights in STDS are not reflected on the ground or any other object when you are looking in the mirrors. Please SCS fix this in STDS too. I like that in ETS 2 this problem doesen`t exist.
ReplyDeletecan u make the brakes more efficient (like this video shows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSQSueFrxzI )?
ReplyDeleteand why the trucks are limited at the speed of 90 km/h (i understand that the truck with the trailer max speed is 90 km/h but if u drive only the truck without the trailer the max speed allowed is higher than 90 km/h i think
no, all trucks in the EU are limited to a max of 90 km/h
Delete(atleast in the netherlands)
and why the max speed showed on the indicator is 120 km/h? as in this picture

have you ever been in a truck, they are ALL limited around the 90 km/h. in most countries they aren't allowed drive faster then 80 km/h.
DeleteFor Testing Purposes
DeleteMichael: Yes for the most part with trucks used for "normal" truck like purposes, trucks made before 1988 are exempt, as are fire engines, military vehicles and a long list of other trucks used for specific purposes or truck can be registered as other things meaning they are NOT trucks they are machines and are NOT subject to truck regulations
DeleteContinued: Up until ~2000 many trucks were only limited by the tachograph speed setting that the red light cam on which was end user adjustable.
DeleteI mean the newer ones, My dad owned a DAF 2900 and that truck also had no speed limiter, but trucks have them nowadays and he is asking this about a truck game with new trucks and no special vehicles. so yeah, i like it that scs added the speed limiter because in their old games trucks could reach 150 km/h.
Deletethis was his truck, made before 200 and had no speed limiter. A DAF 2900 turbo

DeleteWhat is the point of speedcameras in ETS2 then?
DeleteALL trucks post 1988 were required to have speed limiters fitted (1992 law 92/6/EEC) including retro-fitment, there was no law to require there mandated use or function by the driver or company running the truck BUT they had to be fitted (one of them silly EU law situations), hence most were simply adjusted to well above what the vehicle could do anyway via the tachograph or the fuse was simply pulled out if it was controlled by other than the tachograph by the truck dealer or the first driver of the truck, in 2002 2002/85/EC law amended 92/6/EEC putting more vehicles under the regs and mandated calibration 90kph/56mph for vehicles newer than late 2001

trucks can and will get fined if driving 90 km/h

@Edward
yes so excitited ;) owner link --> excaliburpusling ;)
This game is BETA ;) they can correct it ;)
Edward it might be because they tested it on low settings?
DeleteAlso it might look bad quality because this is stock interior? and made good quality interiors available to buy?
DeleteIt's maybe from the vid itself or from the computer played on .. lots of possibilities
DeleteWe have interior costumization(the last on the right), so don`t worry, we can tune the interior and make it very pretty :X. SCS did an excelent job with tuning in this game.
DeleteYeah. But we never seen the interior customization XD But I still hope that'll allow us to create some nice place to be inside)
Delete@S7efan
DeleteYes. you'r right ;)
@Edward
I Strongly Agreee :):) We hope...
Maybe it’s just that HDR with its seemingly attached bloom FX is just making the textures look washed out like it did with STDS.

ReplyDeleteHey guys you make best truck sims. But how about to add your games at STEAM??? Whi only two your games only presented in Steam? Where the others?
ReplyDeleteWe have been trying to list our games on Steam for quite some time (our older games there already have been put there by our publishing partners), but it seems that Valve/Steam has doubt about truck sims. We'll keep trying, we would love to be on Steam for sure. Perhaps ETS2 will finally persuade them that it's worthy of their attention.
DeleteSCS Software please change these front license plates in UK, they should be white. Haven't Excalibur Publishing mentioned anything like that to you? they are from UK so they should have mentioned it.
DeleteIf you can't answer my question or have an answer to it but don't want to share it, just please tell me if you are going to change these license plates or not.
Thx :)
Squint your eyes and just pretend they are Danish, Luxembourg or Netherlands trucks which have yellow plates front and rear,
DeleteI think It may only be the UK who mix front and rear plate colours.
OMG these screenshots are so beautiful! I can't get over how nice your work is, I am so excited to play the game. Excited as I may be, I still would love for you to take as much time as necessary to assure that the game is nearly bug-free, if not perfect. But I guess no one's perfect. However you guys honestly come the closest.
ReplyDeleteHello, SCS! I hope you hear me finally?
ReplyDeleteEverything about ETS2 is cool - interesting - good - appreciated!
But please, tell me, finally: What model of wheel do you recommend for ETS1 (UKTS, GTS)???
I have a Defender - it doesn't work!
And: Do you mean to fix problem with wheels in ETS2?
