If you are running Euro Truck Simulator 2 on Steam, we are doing another public beta release experiment before releasing an update officially. Please note that is is a small interim maintenance update, not a major feature release.
Highligts include:
To access the beta on Steam, right click on the game's title in Library, select Properties, go to Betas tabs, and pick "public_beta" build. This version of the game should be fully compatible with all save games and stored profiles of the 1.7.x edition of the game.
Highligts include:
- gearbox tweaking for some of the trucks
- new exclusive Volvo FH 16 interior
- several tweaks and fixes of new Volvo tuning parts
- Volvo FH cabin decal now customizable, works with backlight

thanks SCS!
ReplyDeleteBasically you have duplicated the mod so Vanilla Gamers can use some of the better features :D
ReplyDeleteLooking good though
Finally I can use 750 plate on the cab, great job. Would be cool if you fixed old FH cab, since it's out of proportion.
ReplyDeleteCool update, great opportunity for those who have a CD key of the game to activate it on STEAM, best choice in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteBUG : The MAN TGX small and medium size cabs are missing the interior small window behind the door (while looking from the interior) even if from the outside is clearly visible.
Can you add optional roof spoilers and collars for the cab ? Like those optional side skirts. The Scania Highline with roof spoilers with collars would look great.
And if possible, I would like to transform my "Majestic" spare wheel into a gas tank.
Keep up the good work

Greetings from Romania ! @ www.jocuriarena.com
How can I get this with a Original Cd from Ets2, that I bought in a Shop?
ReplyDeleteActivate the game on steam...
Deletesure you can, just add game on steam and use your serial....
DeleteOk, Thanks `s Guys :D
Deletenice work but there is a bugbear there not enough drivers for all garage slots i think you could get the ets players to post in pics of there face and fill in a form to regulate it or just make more for all the garage slots (it is disappointing to see people run out of drivers ) reply if i have a point
ReplyDelete+100 000
Deleteand then add road tax, tax and driver insurance (every time uj hire a driver the insurance goes up) to combat the wooingly high money witch everyone's getting start a finning the business side admin staff root planers fuel drivers for your garages garages managers i could go on lol
DeleteIt's Euro Truck Simulator not Euro Truck Manager.
Deletetrue but in that case why is there half a Management game in euro truck sim 2
DeleteI'm all for an extended management part. Right now once you own 2 garages you will never ever run out of money. Adding things like having to hire planners, mechanics, buying dedicated trailers, having to compete for company contracts, having to pay insurance and having random events like accidents or delay fines (some of which can be avoided by hiring more or better planners) and so on. I think it would add a whole lot of depth to the game and increase longterm fun.
DeleteI like that you are developing new interior even if it's not for Mercedes, because I always look from inside of cabin when I drive. And backlight on cabin decal now it's like in the real life. I don't use steam so I will wait until becomes officially available for everyone. You are testing this on steam because it's easier that way for you and than later if everything goes without bugs everybody(even those who don't use steam) gets stable version with new interior and other stuff. I like how you think SCS. I now know that this is the most productive idea. bolus(World of Trucks)
ReplyDeleteNon steam please.
ReplyDeleteit's only beta, it will release for no steam version later....
DeleteIts a beta, but they release it for all Steam users... I call bullshit on that one.
DeleteSCS, stop being a dick to paying customers!!!
I do not know if she's a bug of update but I've just delivered a load of 100% broken without doing any accident
ReplyDeleteOne small request SCS:
ReplyDelete1. Can you please make the default fog lights in all the trucks seperately useable (like what you have done with the extra horns)?
2. Static bending lights(cornering lights) while turning or when indicators are turned on - possible?
please consider. A long time ETS player from India! Hearty congrats and best wishes for all your future endeavours.

DeleteBug: pink truck!
ReplyDeleteBuy a legal copy!!!
DeleteThat is one of the really old "bugs": you are now actually saying "I have a crack". If you buy the game on Steam or CD, the truck will become normal color again.
DeleteJust don't be poor and buy games. I can buy 20 copies of ETS 2 if I want to, just right now.
Here's the fix for that bug
Deletehttp://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/
I have a "Paid" Steam version and this update turned my truck red also.
DeleteThe headlight lense tint is also now red.(MegaStore Mod)
Granted it is probably the Mod's I have loaded.. but its red none the less.
Red parts can be caused by missing textures or wrong rendering. I experienced it with one tuning mod.
DeleteAbout pink truck, is it possible to produce pink truck bug on legal game? Just for fun/trying
Will you be making the Globetrotter light box skinable for the classic Volvo's in the future?
ReplyDeletemany thanks for doing this with the new one!
For who doesn't have the original game yet, STEAM is offering a 66% cut off price until 3 december 2013, get your's here :
ReplyDeletehttp://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/
It's a REALLY GODDAMN SHAME people still playing on piracy copies of ETS 2 (and others SCS truck simulator games too)...
DeleteThe game is an ABSOLUTE AFORDABLE PRICE "for the masses".
Totally agree. And what's even worse is that these pirates dare to come to this place and complain about everything that's wrong with this game in their eyes! Or even whine for a product key! That's what happend when the GE DLC was released. Pisses me off. Stupid kids.
DeleteSerial pleasE??
DeleteMy game update automatically yesterday so I'm glad to see the changelog here. Anyway I'll give my opinion on the interior (not to take as complain). Personally I see more "exclusive" the default configuration, than the new one, specially the steering wheel, with color leather matching dashboard, instead of plastic-looking grey.
ReplyDeleteAlso I have to say that the cellphone added it's a good idea, but maybe it should be an interior addon configuration, which could be available to other trucks as well, like some mods do, giving some sense to the interior addons tab. Maybe it was an item in your (SCS) wishlist that wasn't completed, but configuring the interior with curtains, flags on the windshield, cellphones, laptops, etc.. is something many mods do and that I'm sure many people would love.
As I stated many times previously, I wouldn't mind paying (and I'm sure many players also) for a DLC with custom interior configurations, not just the dash and driver seat appearance, but also for adding different things to the interiors. Driver plates was a great idea, but the game still misses that "more customization" feature that many players miss.
Thanks!
Regards.
Replying to myself... looking closely at that device on the left (exclusive interior), I'm starting to thing it's not a cellphone? I have no idea about the features of this truck, so I ask to anyone that know for sure... Is that some "exclusive" device for controling something on the truck, or just a phone?. Thanks.
DeleteI didn't see new interior yet, but digital tachograph is located on the left side above the windshield in many trucks including Volvo. On this picture you can see it on the left side above the steering wheel and the windshield: http://apps.volvotrucks.com/volvo-fh/fh16/images/FH16/new-volvo-fh16-interior.jpg. And on this picture you can see close-up of the tachograph: http://www.tachohellas.gr/prd_images/15I6E4V1T.jpg If it ain't the tachograph than I don't know what it is. Volvo already has an integrated cell phone on the dashboard as you already saw in the game. bolus(World of Trucks)
Delete@Anonymous: Based on the keys I see and after seeing that tacho, looks like it isn't a phone, but some kind of "shortcut" to the tachograph, or something like that, as it has "M1" and "M2" keys, which I know nothing about... looked a bit old for current cellphones, so it now has more sense to have it in the exclusive interior.
DeleteKatixa you are right it's a shortcut but not to the tachograph. M is short for memory. M1 and M2 are memory settings that can be set by the driver. They position the suspension. Let me explain, you have two buttons lets call them arrow keys for setting the desired ride height, when you have desired height then you press and hold the M1 or M2 button. You also have stop button that you need to press while holding the M1 or M2 button, this will program the M button that you are holding to go to the height you have just set, so there is no need to push other buttons again you just press M2 or M1 to go down or up.This is how it works in real life. Now I like SCS even more, because I want to use all the buttons in the cabin. :) bolus(World of Trucks)
DeleteI have only 1 thing for the game.. is it possible to add sideskirts for the 6x2 and 6x4?? This is something i'm missing very badly..
ReplyDeleteThere is a mod out for this. They haven't added side skirts to any trucki n those configurations. Only way is to use a mod.
Deleteyea, but i donn't want mandatory sideskirts on 6x2 and 6x4, i want just exhaust pipes (and it goes only on the sideskirts)
DeleteI wasn't really bothered to activate my game on Steam. I think I will do it right now.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am more like a CD gamer, not a gaming library gamer, I disliked Steam. Now knowing the advantages and such, it sounds like Steam is just a win/win situation. I would recommend it to all, even because it isn't noticeable in game.
I was a non(anti)-Steam many years ago, when their first games required the platform to download or update, but honestly I've been using it for some years even activating boxed games on it (the few that allow it), and I'm glad I did... doesn't affect my PC, the games get updated automatically, I can just download or delete them as I want, I don't have to worry about inserting DVDs or broken DVDs, serials, etc..., and I get many offers, and discover new games, that I wouldn't have if it wasn't for it... I have a huge library which is made mainly from christmas or season offers (-75% off, etc.) excepting some just-launched games. I understand some people want 100% control of their installed software and to have the boxed game, but maybe they also have the wrong idea about Steam... I also WAS a CD gamer... who knows, maybe I still will buy some physical game which includes a map or something (Skyrim, I did, for instance, but activated then on Steam and was downloaded/installed there) but for everything else, just Steam.
Delete*advertisment end* :)
Where are the Fog lights of the new FH and Scania? They never light up. And still the bug of GPS haze inside the cabin and on the windscreen...
ReplyDeletedid you correct the nvidia graphics crash on windows 8?
ReplyDeleteHad it running fine with Nvidia card and Windows 8... not sure it's SCS issue.
Deleteplease do the same with volvo fh 2009
ReplyDeleteWhen do you announce Mac OS X version? I want to play that game on my mac too because it's better than my windows it's too slow.
ReplyDeleteNo announcements pending as far as we know. They currently have resources in getting 1.8 out the door as well as American Truck Simulator.
DeleteWork on native Mac OS version has been under way for almost a year with dedicated personnel to make it happen. The goal is to be 100% up to date with Win and Linux versions and keep it that way once the Mac version is out. Not a small task - catching up with constantly evolving ETS2 codebase has been very difficult, and necessary Mac specific optimizations are somewhat tougher than we expected, too. compared to Scania TDS Mac port for example, we are facing much more complex problem due to the project's size and requirements. Please be patient with us, ETS2 on Mac OS is definitely going to happen!
Deletelinux and mac version are nice to see, but i would like to see the small ressources of scs are used in more content/functions/updates/ATS/ECS instead of porting to other systems
Deletemake a australia patch with real gearbox and engine sound as well as body trucks
ReplyDeleteto roadtrain and a jakebrake that you can turn on and off
you can buy your own trailer and dolly.
you can buy new and used trucks
real australia truck like Kenworth, macks. westenstar , whites and freightliner
all make and model.
way bridge and steephill that test your engine and turbo
and last all of australia thank you keep up with the good work scs
Hehe sounds like Aussie truck sim to me, not a patch. Hard to add Aussie areas when we do not have Spain, south Italy, western France etc...
DeleteThere will never be an aussie game, we don't have the population to make it profitable. Maybe it will be featured as a location again in a multi-continent game like Extreme Trucker 2 but that aint gonna happen anytime soon, if ever.
Deletehttp://oztrucksim.com/
Deletelmao oztrucksim..
Deletethey havent done anything since I stumbled across that site months ago. It is going nowhere.
Even if they did get somewhere, they cant make B-doubles and road trains without SCS changing game code so it wouldnt be much of an oz truck sim..

Deletehola a todos felicitaciones por la beta ,yo la tengo puesta pero el letrero "volvo fh 16 750" no me sale en mi camión y tampoco se ilumina alguien me sabría decir como activarlo , gracias de antemano
ReplyDeleteafaik: the common language in europe to communivate with other europeans is english...
Deletehola , que yo sepa el juego esta para miles de lenguajes y segundo no hablo ingles y tu eres un mal educado y discriminas a los que no hablan tu idioma , el "juego es internacional", que te quede bien claro
Deleteel juego es internacional, la comunidad tambien. En una comunidad internacional se usa un idioma común y ese idioma es el inglés. Si quieres que esta comunidad te ayude, habla inglés.
DeleteThe game may be international, but so is the community and the way to communicate in an international community is by using a common language, which happens to be english. If you want the community to help you I suggest you use english
Uggg... such an ugly interior. What the hell is going on with you SCS? Can't you see how it looks? You better left the old one and just add that remote. I'm starting to feel disappointed and to regret that I bought the game and DLC. You also said you are going to release the AI patch in October, now it's December almost. I'm starting to think you are slowly forgeting about ETS 2 and focus on American Truck Simulator, this isn't a 2 months update. I hope you are preparing something bigger like AI for the final version of this update. Don't forget the people that brought you here. You promised us that you will keep updating the game for a long time, I hope you will keep at least that promise.
ReplyDelete+1 Night,I'm starting to regret too that I bought the game, DLC and skins
Deleteas part of the community, SCS you have our support but you are starting to mock us with this rubbish so called updates.Why is not possible to buy my own trailer to be able to customzie it?and please repair this "infected"AI?2 months has passed, will you be able to release the new AI this month? Why can t we assign only some kind of jobs to our drivers? Like giving to a driver to only transport chemicals or only apples. and why can't we meet our drivers on the road?Why traffic trucks don't steer? Or why the their whipers don't start when it's raining?These are the real problems of the game!GIVE US THE NEW AI!

DeleteQUOTE: "We are now hard at work merging in two important code changes - improvements in physics, especially in the area of suspension, and major traffic AI rewrite. Both are big functional changes that need to be integrated and tested extensively. Time needed for testing each such major feature change is always hard to estimate, but we hope that it is a matter of weeks rather than months before it's all ready for release in another ETS2 update."
@ Jimbo jambo
DeleteThere a clerical error. SCS meant to write a few months, rather than years. Well, now just gone three weeks of that same scripture, and they're not even received a 1.7.2 bug fix patch. But is expected to, yes, they come up with another one the hasty lie.
Okay, I'm nasty, but they promise too much and then they have to cancel the speech or do something else.
I find it unfortunate that SCS a two-class society based here, and thus there is no equal treatment of all users.
ReplyDeleteI will not sign with ETS2 in STEAM! If SCS retain this behavior continues, I will retire as a mapper from the scene.
all those well known scene-mappers are able to tell us the own opinion with own name,
Deletethose scene-mappers know why it is so easy to make little cheap DLC and public-betas on steam... and they know WHY it is a win/win situation for Modders and Develpers.
which map we will lost when you retire? the most important maps are made by teams...
and just for info: you do not need to create a steam-community-ID, you are able to use steam without that community-stuff:
So there are no reasons for decline steam,
if you want open betas and some more little DLC then register your key on steam and decline the community-id
Сильная угроза...
DeleteThanks for the news SCS. I'm waiting official non-beta update :)

ReplyDeleteLaunch Steam.
DeleteGo into "Library" & find "Euro Truck Sim 2".
Right click "Euro Truck Sim 2" & Go To "Properties".
Choose "Betas" Tab, Scroll to "public_beta - Early access to......"
Steam should now install the Beta.
To revert back to "Non Beta version" go back to Beta Tab and "OPT OUT".

ReplyDeleteForce Feedback for linux! >.<
ReplyDelete6x2, 6x4 chassis side skirts exhaust tuning options for a new Volvo FH16 truck, because sadly I can not. I like the 6x4 chassis exhaust side skirt can be made. Cha always play with this truck. They love it. You can change this in the new patch version. Please to modify this to not only be 4x2 chassis side skirts can be overclock the game. Indeed, one bright spot is that it is by default. Only the 6x2 and 6x4 are not provided. As I think a lot of people would be happy for sure!
