Every time there is an updated to either ETS or ATS the skybox gets corrupted and I have to verify the game files to make the game not crash after a few minutes.
It is always the same, a game update is released, I start the game, the skybox is green and purple, I drive for like 10 minutes and then the game crashes. Verify files, corrupted files found.
These are the only games it happens to for me, anyone else have this issue?

I can't say I've had that issue. My issue is ATS ate my save of like many hours.. i'm very sad, Although I dont really mind too much stating from zero again when I had a truckin empire.

Man that sucks, I don't care about the money or AI drivers, it's the "driven roads" I am all about. I've had the same save since day 1, it would suck to lose it.
I am not sure if the game automatically enables cloud saves these days but I had to convert my local save to cloud when they added that functionality.

You can have as many as you want, it doesn't really matter. Just buy the ones that you want to use, if you want your drivers to also use them you should probably have 1 of each type of trailer. But in the end it really doesn't matter at all.
Be aware that some trailers (triples, RM-doubles) can only be used in certain states which limits the distance they can be used by the AI drivers which makes them usually bad earners.

Cheers, I'm on Euro mode but I'll make sure to check if there are similar country rules. I'm sure there's also a few less to choose from.

Very strange. Never had that happen. I wonder if you might just have a bad spot on your hard drive or something that it keeps trying to write to.

Reminder to self to back up my save, that would be disheartening.

We wrote this beta app that introduces head movements as an ETS2 game input. It turns your head into a semi-game controller! Here's a video we made showing how truck drivers can control the ETS2 camera with their real-life head motions.

Lower left window, I forgot to put it on for the screenshot. Although those are labeled as part of the Cabin Accessories DLC (I think) so I'm not sure if you just have no dash GPS if you don't have that DLC.

Here's the fix for the mirrors being so far away when sitting inside the cab: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784585330

I like this truck, only irritating thing for me is that the window-gps completely covers the front left mirror but that might be because I have my seat all the way back and all the way down, but how could I not drive with the seat down low.

New ETS2 update out with all-new Austria redesign! I've not checked it out yet but the new distance signs and signs telling you which region you just entered (previously only in Italy I think?) are a nice touch. :)

ATS likewise got an update this week with a bunch of reworked parts of California, some new trailers, and automatic refunds if you buy equipment added by mods but later have to uninstall the mods. I'm super curious to check out the reworked cities!

They own. I played the open beta of 1.44 and Sacramento looks way better now than before. Same with Redding and Eureka. Like it's not even close how much better they are.

The 1.44 update is really nice as it fixes the force feedback, it now feels much better to drive with a wheel. There is also a setting for engine resonance that is set to 0 by default, set it to like 30% and the wheel will vibrate when the engine is pulling hard, feels fantastic.

Oh wow, this does look really nice. At the very least, I hope it brings some competition to SCS for working on a graphics overhaul eventually (or heaven forbid, ETS3/ATS2).

They got the colour of the trees pretty drat close to reality. This is a marker of potential.



Meh, licensing can be expensive and hard, and many games use placeholder assets early on.

They got the colour of the eucalyptus trees right for the environment, I'll take that over having used placeholder models.

I don't think cancelled, just shelved for the foreseeable future. But still, decision makes sense.

Was wondering how they’ll approach it. For me the best way is to give it away or sell with proceeds going to charity, but they’re a game dev studio and a dlc like that is an investment they probably need to make back at some point.

What's the deal with the Estonia-Russia border in ETS2? When I get selected for a random check, I can never get the prompts to activate so I end up having to eat a penalty. I don't recall it being this bad when I first used it so maybe they changed it with the recent update, but I don't think any of the other Russia borders are any different.

Lol.

It actually seems like they have updated all of the Russian borders to be more like those in the Black Sea DLC, which is fine but some of the sheds you've got to squeeze into for inspections are a real pain and it seems like you get called up a lot more often than you do for the others. Some of them, namely the Poland and Finland ones, are also really long! This is probably more realistic but I feel like they could've trimmed them down by like a third? Here's hoping they never actually put Brexit in. :suicide:

Still haven't played Iberia because even though I like the game and it's great for when I'm on standby with work, £15 seems a bit steep. With the Russia DLC cancelled I get the feeling it's not going to be on sale any time soon either. :(

SCS recently announced the next ETS2 DLC that will cover West Balkans sans Greece, so Iberia might see a sale after all.

As to the Greece thing I wonder why it was snubbed. Perhaps because another Czech developer had staff arrested in Greece when doing field research for Arma 3?

Fingers crossed!

I was thinking because of the sheer number of slightly different islands you'd probably need to include, but I didn't know that story so I'm going to search it out now, haha. I loved Operation Flashpoint back in the day so I've always got time for them.

I would say Greece by itself would be relatively small for a full DLC. Maybe they’re planning Greece+Turkey (since Istanbul is in) and Cyprus.

If you want to make ETS2 more zen, play TruckersMP and cruise around the DLC countries where it's just you, the road and the very occasional other trucker you can honk at as they pass you on the other side of a lonely Romanian motorway
