We are happy to announce that Euro Truck Simulator 2 is finally about to appear officially on Apple Mac OS X platform. But we are starting carefully - with a beta.
Please bear in mind that the current Mac build is still considered a beta and may contain bugs or other issues. If you already own the game license on Steam, and at the same time happen to be a Mac user bold enough to try a beta, we would be very happy to hear back from you on your experience with this testing release. But keep your patience in check if you consider buying the game just based on the existence of a beta - things happen, and we don't want to disappoint you guys if the beta process takes longer than we now hope.
The MacOS version of the game is not "just a port" - it is intended to be a first class citizen along with the Windows and Linux versions, based on the same living codebase. Therefore we should be able to always update all the different operating system versions in parallel and keep the feature sets in sync.
Adding Mac compatibility to our ever-changing game code was not an easy task, it has taken more effort and time than we anticipated. But choosing this approach was worth it. This preview version is in no way different from the official 1.15 version of ETS2, so people participating in the beta can already sign up to World of Trucks and take part in our SCS Polar Express special!
Leave your comments, thoughts and bug reports in our MAC beta forum please. Follow this step-by-step guide to obtain access to the beta on your computer.
Happy Trucking!

ReplyDeleteGreat news!
Deletegreat !!
ReplyDeleteTime to start up Mac Book Pro and test it out :)
When I saw the banner, I said: What??? Finally I'll play ETS2 on my iPad??? Then I saw the post lol. I really hope that one day, I can play it on the iPad, it'd be great. Anyways, as expected from you, great work guys!
ReplyDeleteIt would, perhaps. But with the graphics this game has, the iPad would explode. XD Unless they nerf everything to make it playable.
DeleteYeah that's the problem, I can't freakin play GTA on it :-P
Deleteupdate on scandanavia dlc?
ReplyDeleteNow this is what I call fair approach to a client. Clear "this is beta, think twice before giving us your money", not standard these days "hey, buy our product, give us cash, give, give, give, we have awesome stuff and cookies (btw, it's beta)".
ReplyDeleteETS2 for Mac was what I was always waiting. Hopefully this ATS also available for Mac OS X.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Peru and here's European and American trucks. Should merge ets2 and ats would be sensational.
ReplyDeleteWhen will leave the DLC Scandinavia ?
ReplyDeleteWhere can i find my profile/savegame data?
ReplyDeleteapparently it is not located in my documents folder, like it was in the wine version…
Open your finder, do 'command, shift and g' all at the same time. In the icon that appears, type in '~/Library', go to application support, and find Euro Truck Simulator 2. That is the steam version. Copy any mods/saves into here.
DeleteSo, I have the same problem, but I can't search for the library... It says it can't find the folder..
DeleteThis is what I have been waiting for since I heard of Euro truck simulator 2! I have been playing the free version via vineskin which makes windows programs run on mac. This is really great news! Thank you SCS!
ReplyDeleteGood news next blog update will you show some more screenshots of Scandinavia or better a beta? and next time when you show ATS California can you please show some freeway signs please and thank you
ReplyDeleteI think its ATS real life and hopefully we will see the driver eating
Deletehow do add mods
ReplyDeletePlace the .scs files in to: documents/euro truck simulator 2/mods
DeleteThen in game on the screen you select your profile click edit, select the mods you want then clock ok then just load your profile as normal
is that on mac, as i can't see it
DeleteOla, sou brasileiro, rsrs, porque não esta dando pra baixar o multiplayer? quando entro no site> alpha.ets2.com < pra baixar o multiplayer o site não abre.
ReplyDelete1- O pessoal na SCS não fala português.
Delete2- A SCS não é responsável pelo mod multiplayer. Eles não tem como te auxiliar.
3- Os servidores do mod MP tem estado sob grande carga nos últimos dias. Você não é o único que tem tido dificuldades em baixar o mod.
4- alpha.ets2.com não é o endereço do site do mod multiplayer. Tente apartir do site oficial deles: http://ets2mp.com
Obg, mais tipo, o multiplayer vai ser liberado ainda ne? pq nao ta dando pra baixar.
DeleteURGENT SCS THE SCANIA IS MISSING THE AIR the motor
ReplyDeleteURGENT SCS os caminhões SCANIA estão sem a entrada de ar do motor.
ReplyDeletewere can in buy it for mac
ReplyDeleteYou buy and download the PC version of ETS2 via Steam (right now 85% off), and then follow procedures in the guide above!
DeleteAmazing job guys and girls.
ReplyDeleteSo far the Beta is running smoothly!
I hope the Mac versione will be mod compatible too. At the moment run good.
ReplyDeleteThx SCS
I've finished downloading. But when it will be played, there is a warning that this game requires at least OS 10.9, while I am still using 10.8. And why you do not tell it from the beginning? -_-
ReplyDeletewill it be available on earlier versions of mac??
ReplyDeleteSorry for the question, but where can I find download for it? Thx
ReplyDeleteHallo SCS! Are you planning non steam ETS2 version for Mac? I use box version for PC, but I don't want to register on steam. I would like to activate ETS2 simply with PC - box code. It's good when internet provider has problems and I don't connect with web.
ReplyDeleteHello!! I am a mac user, and have been running the full game in parallels since the 1.8.2.5 update. I can, therefore, guarantee that this is a 'first class' game. I am able to run it at much higher graphics. I have however, found this bug, which only appears at some points. Unfortunately, I can not describe when it happens, as it does not appear to be consistent.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to a screenshot I took:

Hope the beta is put into a full game soon!!

Sorry, I forgot to describe what it was!! It makes the text appear as blobs, rather than texts. It also, on the navigator UI, the road, both discovered, undiscovered, and even the arrows, appear as red with some stripes.
DeleteHope this helps
I have also seen that number plates do not seem to exist any more. The AI cars have got no license plate and also no symbol (as in, audi or volkswagen). The trucks have symbols, but no licence plates. Even my own truck has no plate any more. =P
DeleteWill mods work on Mac now?
