            <description>&lt;img src=&#34;https://playingtux.com/images/field/image/ets_1_485_update.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;Featured image of post Euro Truck Simulator 2: Update 1.48.5 released&#34; /&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the &lt;strong&gt;Euro Truck Simulator 2&lt;/strong&gt; the &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;https://blog.scssoft.com/2023/10/ets2-1485-update-release.htmll&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;update 1.48.5&lt;/a&gt; is now available for Linux on &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;https://store.steampowered.com/app/227300/Euro_Truck_Simulator_2/&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;Steam&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;    &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;        &lt;p&gt;ETS2: 1.48.5 Update Release&#xA;With the West Balkans DLC just around the corner, we are releasing the 1.48.5 Update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. We haven’t bumped the game version all the way up by a whole number, as this update is focused on some specific content additions as well as some under the hood maintenance with code-based improvements.&#xA;With the West Balkans DLC on the horizon, we are hard at work behind the scenes, bug-fixing and polishing; making sure everything is in place for a smooth release. This includes tirelessly iterating over multiple databases with the world economy and route access topology, and sometimes implementing related code changes and cleanups.&#xA;In addition to under-the-hood data changes, there are still some visible highlights of this update - the inclusion of new map content! Players can look forward to exploring the newly added city of Trieste, along with the updated cities of Ancona and Bari. These changes were previously described on our blog, so for more details, check out the dedicated articles here (Ancona + Bari) and here (Trieste).&#xA;As you can tell, the ETS2 1.48.5 Update is an important step in preparing for the West Balkans release, as it brings with it not only bug fixes but also exciting new map content that will allow better connection to the new part of the games universe.&#xA;However that isn&amp;rsquo;t all, as there are some changes coming in this release that were not originally a part of the 1.48.5 Open Beta, including the fact that American Truck Simulator will also be receiving the 1.48.5 update later in the month too. This is because we are introducing 2 new changes which we believe players will benefit from. These are Faster Loading Times and an FPS Limiter.&#xA;Faster Loading Times&#xA;After an update, it has historically taken our titles a while to re-cache and update navigation data. Recently we were able to optimise this data and speed up the process considerably. Thanks to this update, the loading process is around 6 times faster! This also includes loading times for the company directory, which is loaded each time you start the game, which is 23 times faster than previous builds. We hope that you enjoy this small quality of life change.&#xA;Frame Rate Limiter&#xA;This was a feature that was quite highly requested by our community. This limiter is aimed mostly at those with a more powerful GPU. It was reported that when alt-tabbed outside the sim, GPUs would run at 100% since it was still trying to render the maximum number of frames possible. Because of this, we have placed a cap of 300 FPS to limit GPU usage, while not limiting most monitors. While this is still a bit experimental, we look forward to hearing your feedback.&#xA;We hope you enjoy the little features and updates that 1.48.5 offers! We&amp;rsquo;d like to thank all those who participated in the Open Beta and helped us tweak and provided feedback. Your time and reports helped our team make changes that will benefit all players. We look forward to sharing more updates and changes in the future. Until then, keep on Truckin&#39;!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <guid>https://playingtux.com/en/articles/2020/07/euro-truck-simulator-2-huge-update-138-released/</guid>
            <description>&lt;img src=&#34;https://playingtux.com/images/field/image/ets2_1_38_update.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;Featured image of post Euro Truck Simulator 2: huge update 1.38 released&#34; /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;huge update 1.38&lt;/strong&gt; was already released some days ago for the &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;https://playingtux.com/articles/american-truck-simulator-huge-update-138-released?lang=en&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;American Truck Simulator&lt;/a&gt;.&#xA;Now the update has also been released for the &lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;https://blog.scssoft.com/2020/07/euro-truck-simulator-2-138-release.htm&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;Euro Truck Simulator 2&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;    &lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;        &lt;p&gt;Euro Truck Simulator 2 1.38 Release&#xA;After an exciting week for American Truck Simulator with the arrival of Idaho, we are happy to announce the arrival of the 1.38 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2!&#xA;We&amp;rsquo;d like to thank all those who took part in the open beta and contributed with bug reports and general feedback. We hope you can now begin to fully enjoy the various new features which are included within this update. So, what can you expect to find in the 1.38 update ETS2? Lets us give you a quick recap of the most significant changes.&#xA;First of all, one of the more significant changes that drivers will notice across the map at most major cities in the introduction of newly designed and unique truck brand dealerships. All dealerships locations across the Euro Truck Simulator 2 map have received a refresh, so make sure to visit them in-game as you drive past (it is well worth the stop!).&#xA;The French city of Lille has also received a reskin in this update. Some of the main changes include updates to road junctions, which have been re-worked and created with more accurate layouts. Road signs and roads, in general, have also been updated with more accurate, realistic, and detailed textures, along with new buildings and assets. If you happen to be passing by on delivery, we recommend making some extra time to see Lille for yourself.&#xA;We are also excited to introduce the inclusion of a computer graphics technique for efficiently approximating ambient occlusion effects in real-time. Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, better known in its shorter form SSAO, creates shadows in the areas where objects connect, to give it a more natural and believable look in terms of lighting and shadows.&#xA;Less powerful GPUs may struggle to keep up at full quality, and with 400% or similarly high scaling selected, even mid-range machines would feel the impact on fps. If you are not happy with framerate after this update, please open the advanced graphics options in the game and try to find the right combination of scaling and SSAO quality for you. With a weaker GPU, it may be advisable to switch off SSAO completely.&#xA;This new feature can be better explained by one of our senior programmers, be sure to read a more in-depth post about the topic at our Under the Hood blog post here.&#xA;We are also happy to introduce a long-requested update to the RGB Color Picker which drivers use to paint their trucks when purchasing or tuning their truck. You now have the option to input specific color inputs (HSV, RGB, and HEX).&#xA;We know that many drivers like to match their truck colors the same across their whole fleet, so we hope this feature is useful to you.&#xA;There have also been changes made to our GPS Route Advisor, which now features a cleaner and more modern-looking UI allowing for a larger on-screen map view. That&amp;rsquo;s not all, however, as we also added new information for drivers using checkpoints for their journeys.&#xA;Players will now be able to see useful information on their next checkpoint markers such as the distance to their next checkpoint, and their estimated time of arrival through their GPS and world map.&#xA;The DAF XF Tuning Pack has also received a small update which will now allow all DAF trucks chassis covers to be painted. We look forward to seeing how drivers will take advantage of this new customization on their DAF fleet as we know many drivers like to match their truck colours.&#xA;The FH Tuning Pack for Volvo Trucks has also received a small update based on feedback from our community. Drivers can also expect to find new tuning parts including front wheel covers, side deflectors with LEDs, stock front bumpers and rear top fenders with plastic and chrome options.&#xA;This isn&amp;rsquo;t the only change however, as we also have included new horn models to better reflect the reality of the design of air horns. To reflect actual truck setups properly, our vehicle team has added new &amp;ldquo;pins&amp;rdquo; on truck cabins that are specific for air horns. We did our best with the research to make sure their locations are chosen on proper references, mostly on factory defaults, of course, but also taking into account what we could find in tuning photos from truck festivals. You can read more about their addition on a previous blog post.&#xA;We are also happy to bring 3 new Special Transport routes for drivers to take on in our latest map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2, Road to the Black Sea. These routes are:&#xA;Reșița to Târgu Mureș&#xA;İstanbul to Edirne&#xA;Pleven to Sofia&#xA;Each journey will come with its own challenges. So make sure to adhere instructions given on the GPS advisor and the speed limit which have been set out for you before your departure, as there is no room for mistakes!&#xA;This addition will come as a free update for owners of Road to the Black Sea and Special Transport for Euro Truck Simulator 2.&#xA;There is much more packed into this update!&#xA;MAP&#xA;Lille re-skin&#xA;Unique Truck Dealerships&#xA;Special Transport routes in Road to the Black Sea&#xA;Reșița to Târgu Mureș&#xA;İstanbul to Edirne&#xA;Pleven to Sofia&#xA;VEHICLES&#xA;Automatic transmission improved (shifting points, adaptive modes)&#xA;Paintable chassis covers for XF Tuning Pack&#xA;New tuning parts added to the FH Tuning Pack&#xA;Roof Horns (standalone mountable accessories)&#xA;Renault Trucks Range T AI vehicles added (4x2, 6x2)&#xA;FEATURES&#xA;Visual improvement - procedural ambient occlusion generation (SSAO)&#xA;Route Advisor redesigned&#xA;Navigation ETA to the next waypoint in route adviser and in world map&#xA;Tobii eye-tracking presets&#xA;RGB color picker redesigned&#xA;Added RGB, HSV and hex inputs&#xA;User defined color presets&#xA;SOUND&#xA;Update to FMOD 2.01.01&#xA;Individual horn sounds for each truck&#xA;Fixed the retarder sound when the engine is off&#xA;AI - exclusion of gear-shifts for trains and electric vehicles&#xA;To enjoy the 1.38 update, make sure to OPT OUT of beta branches and your game will be automatically updated on Steam.&#xA;For the legacy non-Steam edition of ETS2, the update should be ready in a few days.&#xA;Some mods, however, may have not caught up yet - this update may effectively break them. So remember that you can always stay on 1.37 or an even older branch. The way to access and select them is: Steam client → LIBRARY → right-click on Euro Truck Simulator 2 → Properties → Betas tab → select the version you want.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Don&amp;rsquo;t worry, we did not release the next update behind your back. It was actually a focused, small but important mini-update that deserves explaining.&#xA;This &amp;lsquo;rebalance package&amp;rsquo;, as we like to call it, contains numerous sound improvements and adjustments. Our SFX team keeps working hard on sound improvements, the sound revolution in the update 1.37, and switch to the FMOD library was a critical junction but not the final destination for them. We received a ton of feedback from our community, and most of these changes come as a response to this input. It is quite possible that you can see further mini-updates in the future, outside of the big &amp;ldquo;point release&amp;rdquo; update cycle, as we continue to keep addressing your reports.&#xA;Today&amp;rsquo;s update carries a few SFX changes such as:&#xA;Polished sound transitions (e.g. for both loaded and unloaded engine/rpm)&#xA;Several new sound samples for AI vehicles&#xA;Overall re-balanced sounds, and volumes&#xA;And more!&#xA;As we said at the beginning of the year, we still have a long journey ahead in bringing better and more realistic sounds to our games in general. We know that with the help of our community, we can achieve our goal. Collectively, we have vast experience across the whole spectrum of vehicles and their specs. Please continue sending us your feedback, particularly with the sounds.&#xA;You can also stay up-to-date by subscribing and receiving information and notes about smaller updates on our ETS2 forum, Steam, as well as our ATS forum and Steam.&#xA;Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We hope you can now begin to fully enjoy the new features included within this update.&#xA;The main feature included with this update is the implementation of our new sound engine FMOD; which radically redefines the way we mix vehicle and environment sounds. This update includes revisited sounds of trucks&amp;rsquo; engines, new sounds for most of the AIs (including trains), reverb sound effects in tunnels, new train crossings sounds, the inclusion of a true Doppler effect for passing vehicles and more. This also brings an array of new sound options for users accessed from the main menu, which allows you to tweak many more individual sounds to your liking.&#xA;While there is still a lot of tweaking to do and more sounds to arrive, this is only the first phase. We will continue to improve based on feedback and implement changes throughout the year to come.&#xA;As a benefit from the new sound mixing approach, we are happy to bring you truck windows which you can open! You can now enjoy the continuum of sound levels between a well-insulated cabin with windows closed and the roaring traffic coming from the outside when you roll the windows all the way down. Give it a try especially when you hit the rush hour on the road or at a big junction.&#xA;Another addition that arrives with this update is our &amp;ldquo;walk-around feature.&amp;rdquo; Our game world is generally not designed for exploration on foot, but we figure that fans may appreciate a new closer perspective to view their favorite machines in the upgrade shop. Getting up close may also be of use when you need to tune up your rig and match the color of your rims with the cabin&amp;rsquo;s paint just right. So here we are with a little bonus feature of 1.37, an alternate way to control the camera in the game&amp;rsquo;s service and vehicle browser. We had to redesign the &amp;ldquo;garage&amp;rdquo; scene a little to make more space and way for the cameras, hopefully, you will appreciate it.&#xA;Hungry for more? Then get ready for some food tanks! And we mean literally food tanks because, with this update, you can finally own this new type of trailer. These beauties were highly demanded for some time and so we&amp;rsquo;re glad and proud we can bring them for you, our #BestCommunityEver!&#xA;We are also excited to bring to you a rework of 4 French cities in 1.37. Metz, Reims, Strasbourg, and Dijon will receive a fresh lick of paint with a rehaul of its roads which have been given a new look. We hope you will take the time to check these refreshed areas and send us your snaps of your first visit on our social media channels.&#xA;And last but not least, we&amp;rsquo;re excited to announce the upcoming arrival of the official support for ASUS Aura for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Products supported include ASUS keyboards, mice, RGB mousemats and more. This brings a new level of immersion to your trucking experience with the inclusion of RGB support. You can expect to see a blog post with more details on the integration and the features that come with it in the near future.&#xA;To celebrate this new collaboration, we have released a very special ASUS ROG paint job for the Mercedes-Benz New Actros which is now available on the Steam Workshop for Euro Truck Simulator 2.&#xA;Euro Truck Simulator 2 - ASUS ROG Paint Job MOD&#xA;Now you can truck in style with your ASUS RGB setup, and ASUS ROG paint job! Adds a little bit extra to the immersion, doesn&amp;rsquo;t it?&#xA;MAP&#xA;4 French cities reskinned (See here for more details)&#xA;VEHICLES&#xA;Food tank trailer (ownable)&#xA;Food tank (ownable) for Schwarzmüller DLC&#xA;FEATURES&#xA;FMOD implementation with all existing sounds and few improvements&#xA;Openable windows on all trucks (featuring FMOD)&#xA;AI movement and sound behavior improved (featuring FMOD)&#xA;Walking camera in truck or trailer configuration screen (plus new garage scene)&#xA;Added technical inspection of vehicles on mandatory weigh stations (illegal trailer, damaged vehicle).&#xA;Added progressive speeding fines.&#xA;Updated hi-res loading screen pictures&#xA;Colour feedback support for ASUS ROG Strix (ASUS Aura Ready)&#xA;TOBII EYE TRACKING&#xA;Eye-tracking pause key function fixed&#xA;Automatic eye-tracking pause while the game is paused/in UI&#xA;Settings hotkey visibility in UI&#xA;MOD&#xA;Ingame sounds completely reimplemented for FMOD&#xA;Engine power range data (instead of boost value)&#xA;Exhaust gas temp gauge animation&#xA;AI data tweak (engine power instead of torque and gearbox, vehicle_mass override for trailers)&#xA;To enjoy the 1.37 update, make sure to OPT OUT of beta branches and your game will be automatically updated on Steam.&#xA;For the legacy non-Steam edition of ETS2, the update should be ready in a few days.Some mods, however, may have not caught up yet - this update may effectively break them.

Due to its size, we won&amp;rsquo;t describe all the details here again (read the Public Beta article please).&#xA;Instead, we&amp;rsquo;d like to address some questions regarding a new feature that was added only a few days ago; GPS voice navigation. As with many other features, please do consider this to be the initial phase. For now, you can choose from 9 different language options (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Turkish and Mandarin Chinese), but we do plan to add more in the future, in addition to other improvements. The beta feedback we&amp;rsquo;ve received so far has been really positive, but don&amp;rsquo;t be shy about adding your own on our forum. Your opinion is important to us!&#xA;And for those who like short recap videos, here&amp;rsquo;s ours for this content-packed update!&#xA;&lt;a class=&#34;link&#34; href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0spF3OFQj1U&#34;  target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener&#34;&#xA;    &gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0spF3OFQj1U&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;To enjoy the 1.35 update, make sure to OPT OUT of beta branches and your game will be automatically updated on Steam.&#xA;Some mods, however, may have not caught up yet - this update may effectively break them. So remember that you can always stay on 1.34 or an even older branch. The way to access and select them is: Steam client → LIBRARY → right click on Euro Truck Simulator 2 → Properties → Betas tab → select the version you want.&#xA;Changelog:&#xA;MAP&#xA;Germany improvements, stage 2&#xA;New French roads: A10-A6 (Vive la France!

We have taken quite a while with the open beta - testing and tuning the new version was a very extensive task, as this is one of the biggest game updates we have ever produced. The reactions from the volunteer testers are very enthusiastic, and we are eager for the player-base to enjoy all the new features as well now.&#xA;The amount of open beta feedback was so huge, thanks a lot to all the participants! We may not have been able to respond to all of the messages individually, but rest assured that we read everything and all your opinions, suggestions and bug reports are noted.

Santa&amp;rsquo;s logistics network is having a hard time coping with deliveries of all the gifts, and SCS Software has been summoned for help. Honestly, though, our humble sim trailer is just not enough, the motion seats just take up too much space. Way more capacity is needed. It is clear that we need to turn to players of our games for help!&#xA;There are billions of gifts around the globe waiting for delivery, and we have duly informed Santa that we may only be able to help him with a tiny fraction of the number, and only in limited territories. Even with the addition of New Mexico to American Truck Simulator and Italia to Euro Truck Simulator 2, our coverage of the two continents is still not satisfactory, not to speak about the rest of the planet. Yes, we know! Now even Santa is pushing us hard to improve the coverage for the next year already - as if he planned to depend on us again and again.&#xA;For now, let&amp;rsquo;s try to do what we can do. There are rewards waiting for everyone who&amp;rsquo;ll join in! Santa has some special cabin toys and accessories straight from his domain for you. He&amp;rsquo;s even willing to let you park your mighty diesel beasts at the North Pole - in a new main-menu background scene. How cool is that?&#xA;This World of Trucks event is a bit more complex than what we had in the previous seasons. Players of both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 will be able to participate, but each game is counted separately and provides its own set of achievements and rewards. On top of it, each game&amp;rsquo;s event actually has two levels of accomplishment, and two tiers of rewards!&#xA;The rewards are not just digital this time. At the conclusion of the event, we&amp;rsquo;ll draw five lucky winners for each game and each tier (that&amp;rsquo;s 20 prizes in total) and offer you a choice of merchandise from our e-shop to pick your reward from.&#xA;Rules &amp;amp; Rewards&#xA;We&amp;rsquo;re running two events in parallel - you can choose between American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, or participate in both events to earn the most goodies! Deliver gifts (that&amp;rsquo;s a very specific cargo that you will only find on World of Trucks contracts now!) to at least 6 (for the 1st Tier) or 12 (to complete the 2nd Tier) different cities. Only deliveries of over 240 km / 150 miles are eligible. Receive unique rewards on each tier:&#xA;Tier 1:&#xA;Exclusive World of Trucks achievements for event completion in each game&#xA;Hanging cabin decorations - Xmas Ball and Plush Bear (ETS2), Polar Star and Polar Plush Bear (ATS)&#xA;Main menu background theme - &amp;ldquo;Magic Time&amp;rdquo;&#xA;Five people who completed this Tier have a chance of winning the physical reward: choose any amount of merchandise of your choice from our e-shop for a sum up to 50€.&#xA;Tier 2:&#xA;Hanging cabin decorations - Polar Beast and Snowman Trucker (ETS2), Grizzly Bear and Snowman Trucker (ATS)&#xA;Customizable paint-jobs &amp;ldquo;Crystal Dream&amp;rdquo; (ATS) and &amp;ldquo;Crystal Dimension&amp;rdquo; (ETS2)&#xA;Main menu background theme - &amp;ldquo;On top of the world&amp;rdquo;&#xA;Five people who completed this Tier have a chance of winning physical reward: choose any amount of merchandise of your choice from e-shop for a sum up to 100€.&#xA;Important Notes&#xA;Latest game version is required for participating in the event.&#xA;In-game rewards are granted as tradeable and marketable Steam inventory items&#xA;Quadruple (x4) your chance of winning a physical reward by completing the event in both games for both event Tiers!&#xA;Physical rewards are drawn randomly from all participants for each Tier after event completion on Monday, January 22, 2018.
