The public test server was down for a long time because there was nothing to test. However, there’s good news now, as you can once again access the PTS and see part of the content for the fifth phase of the seasonal pass. It’s worth noting that this is far from all the content, and work on the phase is ongoing. Anyone can join the public test server, and bugs and errors will be fixed based on feedback.
New Content
- New maps (currently 2).
- New vehicles (trucks): Tatra Force T815-7 and Tatra Phoenix.
- Free content even for those who haven’t purchased the seasonal pass: immersive mode, cosmetic items like stickers.
Hardcore Mode
- After purchasing add-ons in the garage, jerry cans no longer refill with fuel.
- Bug fix that prevented switching the metric system.
Vehicles
- Semi-trailer supports will no longer get stuck in textures.
- The driver’s position on the Tatra 805 has been changed.
- The GMC Brigadier received different, improved clearance lights.
- The rear winch on the Tatra 813 has been repositioned.
- The heavy crane now installs correctly on the Western Star 4964.
- A number of other minor changes: both gameplay and visual.
Mods
- If some mods were deactivated, loading a save would show a message that mods were missing, often displaying incorrect information. This bug has been fixed.
- The boundaries of the crafting zone in the editor now display correctly.
- The developer panel can now be hidden using a hotkey.
- Bug fix where loading custom maps showed numbers instead of names.
- Mod browser errors are now handled better.
Other Fixes and Improvements
- In the “Cement for the Region” task, cement now loads correctly.
- The game allows starting the engine of a vehicle attached by a winch. However, if the player changed the hotkey, this function stopped working. This will no longer happen.

- If the host was on another map, the cargo did not appear on the map when activating a task, but this bug has been fixed.
- Some sound bugs have been fixed.
- Bug fix where some cargo or objects were duplicated.
- The description of the “For Hard-to-Reach Places” task has been corrected.
- Fix for the “Price of Victory” task marker.
- Bug fix where the trailer purchase function was unavailable if another vehicle was mounted on the truck platform.
- The seismic vibrator and metal detector can no longer be installed on the same truck simultaneously.
- The “Model Collector” achievement now always unlocks correctly. Previously, due to a bug, some players could not earn this achievement.
- Other fixes.
