ETS 2 Update 1.41

We are pleased to announce that testing of patch 1.41 for Euro Truck Simulator 2 has come to an end. This patch includes significant changes. Various bugs have been fixed based on tester feedback. Long-awaited features such as the Convoy mode have been implemented. Let’s take a closer look at everything.

Convoy Mode

Players of American Truck Simulator are already familiar with Convoy mode. This is a multiplayer mode that will be further developed over time, but you can already join sessions with your friends or other drivers. The mode is still in development, so bugs and errors may occur. 

Up to 8 players can participate in a single Convoy session. This limit is necessary to avoid various issues. However, the developers have promised to raise this limit over time. Who knows, maybe one day we will see full-fledged Euro Truck Simulator 2 servers. 

As in ATS, hosts will have administrator privileges to kick unwanted players from their servers if necessary. There is a session menu where you can either create your own server or join existing ones (either with friends or strangers). 

• Players can simultaneously complete the same jobs and contracts. 
• Traffic is shared and synchronized between players.
• Time and weather are also synchronized for players, so one player won’t have sunny weather while another experiences a downpour.
• Customization is visible to other players. If you decorate your truck, others will see it.
• As in ATS, ETS 2’s Convoy mode features three available chat types: text, quick (with preset messages), and voice (via radio). 

Unfortunately, there are some downsides, as mentioned earlier, since this mode is still under development. 

• Mod support is not yet available. This feature will be added in the future, but for now, you’ll have to stick to the base game content.
• Drawbridge synchronization is not yet implemented.
• Minor bugs that may cause inconvenience.

It’s important to understand that these bugs will be fixed in future patches. Moreover, if something goes wrong (not your fault), you will have the option to restore your progress.

Iberia Map Expansion

Good news for fans of the Iberia DLC. The Iberia map expansion has finally been released. The map now includes the A24 highway, which runs alongside the Douro River through a vast area with beautiful vineyards. 

Photo Mode Enhancements

There are also improvements for those who love taking beautiful screenshots. New features are now available in photo mode. You can set both the time and the weather yourself, so lighting will no longer be an issue. 

Other Changes

• Various fixes and improvements;
• New icons on the map;
• Updated road signs.
