ETS2 1.41 News & Coming Beta

[TairikuOkami]

Is multiplayer going to be the part of it, or is it reserved for a later update?

[Shiriru94]

According to the SCS Thread about that: (https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=300404)
It's currently in Experimental Beta. In ATS it's already in the Public Beta... but idk...

[Ronin]

There is only an Experimental Beta for ATS. No open beta yet.

The current feature list includes:
Any player can host their own private sessions for up to 8 people
Ability to haul the same jobs together from the same company and to the same destination, including World of Trucks External Contracts
Synchronized AI traffic
Synchronized time and weather
Synchronized paint jobs, truck accessories, cabin accessories, cargoes and more
Ability to communicate with other drivers via CB radio broadcast (X key), quick replies (Q key), or text chat (Y key)
Joining sessions with any combination of DLCs is allowed

Notable issues / not yet implemented:

Mods are not supported in the initial release.
Cables for remote trailers aren't rendered.
Cargo on an owned flatbed might sometimes intersect with the trailer
Weather is not fully synced (only good/bad weather).
AI vehicles might disappear when a player disconnects.
Lifting bridges are not synchronized. They will be stationary for the initial release of Convoy.
Sounds for trucks of other players are a work-in-progress.
Steam invites work only through the Steam overlay.
CB radio broadcast (hotkey "X") interferes with the text input line.
The on-screen map in Convoy "M" zooms out together with chat scrolling in the Route Advisor.

Intended changes/limitations while in Convoy session:

Time progression rate does not change when entering a city.
The time in a Convoy session will advance to match the host's time, but it is only visual - the economy time is not affected (If you had 2 hours remaining to finish the job before joining the Convoy, you should still have the same time remaining to finish your job).
Special Transport jobs are not allowed. You can't join a Convoy session with such a job active.
Dynamic collisions are disabled for parked vehicles (you can't push a parked vehicle away, but you will still collide with it).
Knocked-down traffic signs are not visually replicated for other players; their collisions are simulated locally and works only in close proximity to the player.
Toll gates aren't synchronized, however, the opening is based on proximity like for AI vehicles.
AI vehicle colours may differ after some time (so cached vehicles can be reused to limit memory consumption).

The ETS2 1.41 update is now in open beta

[baneorthodox]

I will try ATS 1.41 beta because some mods are already incompatible and i currently don't have the nerves for another ETS beta ( i was driving 1.4 ETS beta )


Edit: still dark at night so bright headlights mod saves the game again. ATS water reflections by doomerdaze incompatible.

[baneorthodox]

Well, i found some nerves in the reserve, and tried this. What is working : Grand Utopia and ROS as standalone. Not working : Promods and every addon , Japan and EAA. Not sure about russian maps (don't have the time to try them).

Whatever you do use a new profile ( don't use existing with your big combo )


And now the best thing !!! This works !!!

Be prepared if you run a map combo
