Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
We are excited that the 1.59 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now officially released and available on Steam! We hope you will enjoy all the new features, which you can read about in more detail below.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/9492ce25fd858ca19e15db0dd83b8524bf80c1f1.jpg"]
As always, we would like to thank everyone who took part in the open beta phase and reported possible issues or any kind of feedback on our forum, as it helped us fine-tune everything for a smooth transition to the full update!
Benelux Rework Release
We are happy to reveal that the long-awaited Benelux Rework project is released with this update! Our assets and map designers have completely rebuilt the whole original map of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg from scratch, delivering a richer, more detailed experience.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/50655a391feb06336586a885491142821d90985d.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/bbe5b2a45955042e75afccbf70ff9a40efb94654.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/f536e8c9e1a4803beb6958fb0ac8d2251849d06d.jpg"]
Truckers can explore a wide range of revamped major cities and their surroundings, including Amsterdam, Groningen, Rotterdam, Brussels, Liège, and Luxembourg City. Each location has been carefully redesigned to highlight its unique character with plenty of landmarks and details!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/a637a0ba67508a817a529c9afe401ef3451cf0b7.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/51386b08b92d13840a5a9e69f9157aedc3c6606f.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/2086a75df722a37556b7c9708ff52c9dfc678254.jpg"]
You can also look forward to hauling cargo through entirely new locations. These include Antwerp, home to one of Europe's largest container ports; the DAF Trucks facility in Eindhoven, which has been recreated with remarkable detail in close cooperation with our partners at DAF Trucks; as well as key transport corridors - the busy E40 and A2 motorway.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/af35a24c02212dc760402115bbb4c5b0b86fe0a2.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/82ed0d08db4705ffe351dd1f10a18c3ee41b81ac.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/4669c05840d7b164a8057fc73113173e45d13d6c.jpg"]
You'll be able to drive from the beautiful hilly landscapes of the Belgian Ardennes to the flat polders and picturesque coastal roads in the northern Netherlands - the reworked Benelux offers a diverse and varied environment that truly reflects the region's look and feel.
Whether you're cruising through dense city centers, navigating busy highways, or discovering scenic country routes, the Benelux region now offers a far more immersive and authentic journey. You can see more from what is coming in our already released blogs on this topic.
Volvo Trucks Experience Center
In partnership with our friends at Volvo Trucks, we are adding the renowned Volvo Trucks Experience Center, situated in Gothenburg, Sweden, to the map, where you can test your trucking skills.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/2d528aad144082ec472206d91ed54272ca3462e4.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/90a18fcdf086d6e1179842cc7451876516092ef0.jpg"]
The center's standout feature is its dedicated driving circuit, which incorporates sweeping bends, tighter technical corners, elevation changes, downhill stretches, and varied road layouts. This allows drivers to assess vehicle behaviour in a controlled environment, highlighting stability, braking precision, handling characteristics, and overall driving comfort in ways that go beyond everyday road conditions.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/70c32a9725523d1ae83761e6f7d9b449dee1c44a.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/c72e96c986ed19b903f60b4605cdce5136c2f236.jpg"]
The Volvo Trucks Experience Center has been recreated almost entirely on a 1:1 scale in our map with a strong attention to detail. You can drive the full circuit and explore the surrounding areas of the facility.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/4157d5a59ba67ccea983f061d923e50e3a587802.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/757cf35ffd1d33f2f82094abda35295426bd30db.jpg"]
To find this amazing facility, you need to venture around the roads near Gothenburg to discover an entrance that will initially not be shown on your GPS. And remember, since it is located in Sweden, you need the Scandinavia DLC to be able to visit it. You can read more about this addition here.
Thermo King Update
Thermo King, a global leader in transport temperature control, is coming to Euro Truck Simulator 2 with their trailer refrigeration units! These replace all the unbranded units we had on our base game and DLC reefer trailers so far. This adds an extra touch of realism when you are hauling temperature-sensitive cargo and spot a famous real-world brand on your trailer.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/9925a5f7d29443d6f4d3efff1d4b6fd889dedc64.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/40d3d0acf6c510acbf6da8304ef6b0c02eb8a670.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/0fa8e62e0889c19c3199541e356b090877665f05.jpg"]
With this update, you can see the Thermo King A-360, A-400, A-500, SLXi-300, and SLXi-400 refrigeration units on the front of your single trailers, which deliver a range of trailer refrigeration performance to suit different transport needs. On top of that, we also added the UT-1400R unit, designed for double-trailer configurations and mounted beneath the trailer. Find out more about this update here.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/850b0446225d77d49df73884f4d692d3da5ad6fa.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/f33928c3f59b61373877adb8e6df347af317f727.jpg"]
Advisor Update - Finances & Damage Widgets
We've been closely listening to feedback from our community, and one of the most common points raised in the new route advisor was that many players missed having quick access to information on vehicle damage and finances. While our teams are actively working on the next steps in our broader vision for a redesigned UI in this area, we didn't want to make you wait until that work is complete. Instead, we've prioritized implementing some of the most frequently requested improvements as soon as possible.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/c0fa0230615582794aae6cd2339fa3242de6b0c2.jpg"]
Based on that, we've implemented the Damage and Finances widgets. These widgets are designed to restore easy access to information about truck damage, plus trailer and cargo damage, if you are currently driving with a trailer and cargo, as well as your current bank balance, with an average profit over the last seven days displayed too.
These widgets can be turned on and off in the Widget Settings Menu, and if enabled, they will be displayed in the bottom right corner above your GPS.
Tow to Road
The Tow to Road feature was designed to improve the overall quality of life for players by reducing frustrating situations during gameplay. It allows drivers to quickly recover if their truck overturns or gets stuck in a ditch or uneven terrain. It also helps prevent disruptions in multiplayer sessions, enabling players to continue with their convoy when they find themselves stuck, without the need to be towed to a service location, which could cause unnecessary delays.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/ba43e2920eae08baa5a0133f6df6c0b40c73af00.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/587ae907391c1d66a6dbb798909d53dec28bc409.jpg"]
So when you are in a difficult situation, you can simply find the new "Tow to Road" button under the Service menu (set to F7 by default). After paying a small fee for the towing service, you will be transported to your last safe location on the road. You can read more about this feature here.
Skills UX Redesign
The Skill Screen has received a visual rework while remaining in its original place within the interface. This update focuses on improving clarity and overall user experience without changing its core functionality.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/6990c47682d5c111bb1571e4695ef3dd40e04d30.jpg"]
You can now view both your current skill level and the next step in its progression. Tooltips also allow you to explore other ranks within each skill. Selecting a skill provides improved readability and clearer visual feedback, including a better indication of how many steps remain in that skill's progression path.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/6ad99883a1bfdef739be3d67db0f49e16389af51.jpg"]
Each skill is represented as a clickable button, making it easy to access more detailed information. The redesign also improves navigation when using a controller.
QoL UI/UX Changes
We're continuing to refine the overall user experience with updates focused on readability, clarity, and smoother controller navigation.
The in-game news banner has received a visual refresh to better align with our newer UI style while improving readability. When hovering over a news item, a tooltip will now display a longer excerpt along with a clear call to action. Deactivated news items now feature a clearer status indicator, which also doubles as an activation button.
We're making navigation on the world map more intuitive for controller users. A new "undo last pin" feature has been added, along with remapped controls for adding, removing, setting avoid areas, and resetting pins.
Save handling has also been improved, with new saves now using the standard save icon instead of a black screenshot and overwriting clearly labeled as "Overwrite". Garage upgrade cutscenes can now be skipped more consistently using the (B) button, and the controller navigation has been further refined with improved D-pad accessibility across UI.
Traffic Sound Rework
We've also made some adjustments to traffic audio as part of this update. Sounds have been softened and rebalanced to better match real-world perception, with less emphasis on distant engine noise and more on the subtle "road hiss" of tires. Honking behavior has also been slightly randomized to reduce repetition. Overall, traffic should now feel less intrusive and better integrated into the ambient soundscape.
Height Blend Improvements
We've also made a few improvements to the Height Blend feature. Derived normal maps can now be enabled to help conserve GPU memory, and we've also addressed several graphical issues to ensure more consistent, visually accurate results.
Detour Feature Maintenance
We've decided to temporarily disable the detour feature to focus on maintenance and further development. We've received numerous reports of Detours not functioning as intended, and the current system no longer meets our needs.
As a result, we'll be shutting down detours while we work on improving and upgrading the feature in the background to make it more stable and reliable. Please note that this change only affects detours - random road events will continue to be available in the game.

For more than 60 years, Bobcat has been building compact equipment used by individuals, workers, and businesses across countless industries. Today, we’re excited to announce that drivers in American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 can now deliver Bobcat equipment across our virtual worlds, supplying in-game industries with the Bobcat Cargo Pack.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/b6d76f852a1a2b06f5e3d0bdf295e138f6fcfa0d.jpg"]Since the late 1950s, they’ve been building compact, hardworking machines designed to get the job done in tight spaces, on tough terrain, and in demanding conditions. They are best known for creating the world's first skid-steer loader, a machine that has become an absolute icon on construction sites worldwide.
It’s only fitting that this legendary piece of equipment takes centre stage in this cargo pack, representing Bobcat’s spirit of versatility, power, and practicality.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/4de627a0ebb82355f5c9ebb816358dab9238e99d.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/20ed130ecf09764781fa5e8405ede1ec21338731.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/3959bb9125d19f472e9f533611d4803e39bc182f.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/d5e49cb3af38e7dd1894800ccc89943fc35850a0.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/9d38402967ae42eaadc46c5a00dd9a491e01aeb0.jpg"]Alongside the iconic skid-steer loader, the Bobcat Cargo Pack also brings a selection of machines commonly seen across a range of industrial areas and businesses. From excavators and wheel loaders used on construction sites to forklifts, telehandlers, and support equipment found in depots and farms, these cargoes reflect the everyday work Bobcat machines are trusted to handle.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/746e1117b976dc30e0678f09dbcfa4893d60eb63.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/a9fb931627237d62a22e01994cd75472e8748ecf.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/8ae8fda875fb197d7e7a437ae5e2d270f45a1c82.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9084219/c61c128cf1d3d6c31654f4eb8458bb65803299e6.jpg"]Every cargo included in this DLC has been created using detailed reference materials and technical information collected and provided during our collaboration, making sure each machine looks and feels right when loaded up on your trailer. The Bobcat Cargo Pack DLC features a variety of equipment from Bobcat's product lineup, giving drivers plenty of new job contracts on the road. This includes:
Agricultural Telehandler - Bobcat TL30.70
Compressor - Bobcat PA12.7v
Excavator - Bobcat E60
Forklift - Bobcat D30
Mini Excavator (Electric) - Bobcat E10e
Skid-Steer Loader - Bobcat S86
Wheel Loader - Bobcat L95
In addition to these new cargoes, this DLC also includes a set of Bobcat branded cabin accessories. These include work gloves, a black hard cap, a hard hat, a polo shirt, and a reflective safety vest. Inspired by real world workwear featuring the Bobcat logo, they are the perfect addition to any hardworking trucker’s cabin, and a great reminder that safety always comes first on the job!

Don't miss out on our special Steam bundle. The Bobcat Cargo Pack Bundle lets you purchase this DLC for both games with a 50% discount, meaning you can get both for the price of one! You can find the bundle available now on Steam here.

But that's not all! We’re also preparing a special upcoming episode of our SCS On The Road series, where our team visits Bobcat’s production facility located in Czechia. It’s a behind the scenes look we’re really excited about, so keep an eye out for that episode coming soon on our official YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe here.

This DLC would not have been possible without the help and support from the team at Bobcat. We want to give a huge shoutout and sincere thank you to everyone who we worked with closely from the very beginning, sharing references, expertise, and feedback to help us bring these legendary machines into the virtual trucking world.
We hope you enjoy the Bobcat Cargo Pack DLC, and we'd love to see your photos and videos from your first deliveries hauling them! Be sure to tag us in your posts, as we will be sure to share some of them across our social media channels. Until next time, happy haulin' and keep on trucking!

We're happy to announce that the 1.58 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is now officially released and available on Steam! Let's take a look at what is new for our #BestCommunityEver.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/eb8f7fc6cb2f04983abccfdfaa4581635992824c.jpg"]
First, we would like to thank everyone who took part in the Open Beta and reported any issues or just general feedback on our forum. This makes it much easier for our team to fine-tune everything and helps ensure a smooth transition to the full update release.
Driving Academy - Double Trailer Handling
This update introduces a new module for Driving Academy, called Double Trailer Handling. This time, our team took a deep dive into how we could pass on more hands-on know-how about handling trucks with two trailers, better known as doubles. We've put together a set of challenging scenarios that guide players step by step through forward driving, manoeuvring, and reversing with doubles.
The experience is split into three chapters, beginning with forward-driving manoeuvres, then easing players into the techniques needed to reverse double trailers. From there, it shifts into more lively, real-world-inspired scenarios where you can really put your newly gained skills to the test.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/d233f4311a95511ff9b63e46792ad3fd686ae81d.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/a9bd595efa55713dc51251dfcadb4d93dcfba99f.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/3ab7c1da66f3ef1b7a3842803e5d25cff514ff53.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/e8c08a1b73b0f339ee8339c47cc5a551d2e077ee.jpg"]
Just like in the previous modules of Driving Academy, we have prepared a reward for you! Completing all the scenarios in this chapter will reward you with an adorable wiener dog toy - named Frankie - for your truck cabin, ready to ride along with you. Keep in mind that this reward is tied to the in-game profile you used to complete this chapter. You can read more about the new module here.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/536b09066195ea1cd931ee629032ca3c61538598.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/3fa5be13a4325a265106ef7d9ecaf4e2b9a813b0.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/bf8053bb09c98738d52c5eff44c5456eb6f11cff.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/0c09c604474b2f033543ddc6a96ad5f912a60248.jpg"]
Thanks to your feedback, we've also adjusted an achievement in the second module of Driving Academy, Truck Driving Proficiency. To unlock the "Nerd of the Road" achievement, you now need to obtain three stars in only 15 scenarios instead of 23. However, truckers looking to show off full completion and be awarded with the hanging golden traffic cone accessory in their truck cabin still need to complete all scenarios with three stars collected in each one.
Renault Trucks T Update
This update brings a major refresh to the Renault Trucks T! We are adding two brand-new interiors - Anthracite and Carbon 2024 - featuring a digital dashboard and camera mirrors. Under the hood, the truck can be equipped with two new DE13 Turbo Compound engines: the DE13 TC 440 Euro 6e and DE13 TC 480 Euro 6e.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/894446189ff2a2b76226c7d99f93b0ff94f0f9a0.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/df2a2493eb97fb2e553c039adb7d364f9236c7f6.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/383e59448b836b3b0b1b93ad162a53b8bd260e5c.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/91a1d371f5e43c6d0f165f6d49d62f36b41b9337.jpg"]
On the visual side, truckers can enjoy two new Smart Racer paint jobs, as well as a set of facelifted exterior parts for both the base truck and its Renault Trucks T Tuning Pack DLC. These include eight new front grilles with an updated logo, new DE13 front and side badges, and THE BOSS roof grilles, which can now be painted in any custom color.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/d7ef626b7717ff83ae9520ae5ceb89816a90d0af.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/deb59aa322b89f089811665d101dc63e476d44cb.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/60f6777eb9015944ff27156b19f0ac1b22c2a15c.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/5c2d6cd71da5163d25f4af62ca38549186d4e751.jpg"]
Scania R & S Update
We are adding several new customization options to the Scania R and S, in the base game as well as the Mighty Griffin Tuning Pack! Front bumpers are now available in three different sizes and also come in three color variants, so you can better match your setup. Bumper lights have been moved to their own locator, and a new fog light type has been added, meaning you can now mix and match them more easily with other front parts.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/73ea6562659e0c618c6f9185f23ce6d7e8fd7869.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/e16b5340518d70ff53604df471066dd35c72af59.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/fdcd750f68ef151e9fa2056d6c1180b1056eb2b2.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/287624fb33308395338bfefcbac143dd04d679ab.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/6ec08f795661b8ebc9cc1be9bb68f48cf4dcd60e.jpg"]
We are also adding a new front fender with radars, and you can now change it independently from the steps under the cab. At the rear, you can use a new type of fender cover as well, available in three color variants. The steps themselves have their own locator as well and now include an additional variant, giving you more choice. You can also choose between two new front logo variants, one of which is underlit to add a nice lighting touch to the front.

On top of that, new roof lights have been added, including a dedicated version for the V8, along with new front mid lights to complete the setup. We hope you will enjoy making your Scania R & S even more unique!
IVECO S-Way 6x2 Update
In this update, we are also expanding the IVECO S-Way with a brand-new 6x2 chassis featuring a steerable and liftable middle axle. Alongside this addition, the entire truck model has received general bug fixes and optimisations. We hope truckers will be happy to have more flexibility when configuring their beautiful S-Way!

Map Changes in Preparations for Coaches
As we prepare for the implementation of the Coaches DLC for ETS2, we also need to make several adjustments to the map to accommodate coaches and bus stations. In this update, you may notice a number of smaller changes, such as new signs or road markings, as well as larger modifications. These include newly added areas in selected cities featuring larger bus stations and terminals.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/c4fb31f81c20ff4f8915049015faac12777a8104.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/12132e480596910667a63deaf16362ba33dbd21e.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/5b79b9befbfa53b4da177fd096db4df8d1e427ff.jpg"]
Vehicle Behaviour Physics Update
As we prepare the ground for the arrival of new vehicle types through upcoming content for ETS2 and ATS, such as Road Trip and Coaches, we've revisited and significantly refined the in-game physics simulation, including how vehicles behave, how they respond to your inputs, and how collisions and contact with the world are handled. To make that possible, we had to take a major look "under the hood" and revisit some of the fundamentals of how physics is simulated in our games.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/7e3989b250f7dcda11e20f979b083e53ee01dd94.jpg"]
Some adjustments were made with these new vehicle categories in mind, often lighter, shorter, and in some cases more powerful than what our simulation was originally tuned for, but many of the improvements also benefit every vehicle, including the trucks you're already familiar with. The goal throughout all of this has been simple: to improve realism and responsiveness, while keeping the core truck driving experience you know and love fully recognizable, just better refined.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/784b4869b9ace49e7d71c0af0b0ac090153f59c1.jpg"][img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/0e5931de49899a69cdee490f11438417674b49e9.jpg"]
One of the first areas addressed was throttle response, which is now properly calculated from a throttle torque engine map. Combined with a more realistic level of engine resistance when you're off the throttle, this makes coasting feel more natural and gives cruising a smoother, more believable flow.
Beyond engine response, the update also includes mechanical improvements that add extra nuance to how trucks behave on different surfaces. Wheels now camber when going off-road in a way that better reflects how a solid axle suspension behaves, and turning wheels also incorporate caster. These are subtle details, but they contribute to a more authentic feel when the terrain gets uneven or when you move away from perfectly flat roads. The audio you hear whilst driving has also been refined, with turbocharger sounds now reflecting more accurately what the engine is doing, making the overall driving feedback feel more connected.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/eb3586eb0750dbde02e98c76824f10aea7fa61a4.jpg"]
Another change that you may notice is that the engine now revs slightly to build up torque before pulling away, and a hill start assistant was introduced to support those situations and make them feel more reliable.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/b71db24cfcd3566f5509bdb82cc2a973b39cfcf5.jpg"]
For keyboard users, a new optional double-tap throttle control system allows smoother control, holding the key applies partial throttle for easier cruising, while double-tapping gives full acceleration when needed. You can read more about this particular topic here.
Tutorial Redesign & Contextual Hints
We are introducing a redesigned tutorial focused on a new system of contextual hints. The goal is to introduce the game and its features to new players more organically by presenting helpful information at the right moment, rather than relying solely on a single, linear tutorial flow.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/7d386b1853d09cd99a867859d0e16d1c562485f9.jpg"]
Initially, this system will incorporate prompts from the current first job tutorial, complemented by a selection of newly created hints. These prompts are designed to appear naturally during gameplay, helping new players understand core mechanics while allowing experienced drivers to stay focused on the road.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/b57157944234ca8ecadbd9ab3d58411057f08e3d.jpg"]
Route Advisor Redesign
One of the most visible changes coming with the 1.58 update is the complete redesign of the Route Advisor. In fact, the current Advisor, as you know, is being removed and replaced with an entirely new widget-based system.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/1486a70ff90c57225797993f0b1c33f2a1e9e4ff.jpg"]
Instead of a single, fixed panel, information is now presented through individual graphical widgets, each dedicated to a specific function. This approach allows for a cleaner on-screen experience and gives players more control over what information they want to see while driving. The widgets can be customized to better suit different playstyles and preferences, whether you prefer a minimal setup or a more information-rich HUD.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/edf25045d21188b2ddbfc2b5dc8a3658d274d80c.jpg"]
This redesign has been in development for some time and was frequently requested by the community. We previously showcased it exclusively to fans attending our third SCS Fan Day, and it has since undergone extensive internal testing, as well as senior external testing, with very encouraging results. As with all major changes, we continue to closely monitor your feedback, allowing us to incorporate it into future iterations and updates. Our ultimate goal is to ensure everything works smoothly and meets the expectations of the widest possible range of players.
Quick Info Feature
The Pause Screen has been completely reworked to better reflect how our games are played today. With this in mind, we took the opportunity to rethink the Pause Screen from the ground up and give it a clearer purpose, redesigning it into a Quick Info feature. The new design focuses on presenting key information in a structured and easily readable way, including controls, truck information, job details, and local regulations, all in one place.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/33a038e706f99888b330949dee34a313cbefb606.jpg"]
As part of this change, some information that was previously shown directly in the Adviser has been moved to the Quick Info feature. This primarily includes job information, truck damage details, as well as options for truck settings and calling for service. This redistribution helps keep the on-road HUD cleaner, while still ensuring that all important data is only a pause away when you need it, and it also helps pave the way for future gameplay experiences such as Coaches and Road Trip.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/805ac69310bbeb2265efb662833638dfda7c7331.jpg"]
Thanks to your valuable feedback in the Open Beta phase, we were also able to address the accessibility of the Quick Info feature in multiplayer. You can now easily access it by simply pressing F1 while trucking with your buddies in convoy.
Overall, the newly designed Quick Info fits naturally into the new UI direction of the 1.58 update and supports our goal of creating a more modern, flexible, and future-ready user experience.
Management Screen Improvements
The 1.58 update brings a set of finishing touches to the existing management screens, including the Driver, Trailer, Truck, and Garage Managers. Rather than a major overhaul, these changes focus on refining what's already there by improving usability, clarity, and overall polish, while also addressing a number of smaller imperfections.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/65de5766c092de096294e8aa7fce16349516ed14.jpg"]
One of the practical improvements is better visibility of information related to hired drivers. Players will now be able to more easily track the progress of their drivers' skills, making it clearer how their team is developing over time. In addition, the currently selected skill training for each hired driver will be highlighted directly in the skills overview, allowing players to see it at a glance.
Alongside these refinements, we've also made incremental UX, UI, and controller-control improvements, as well as added clearer access to company-related information, such as the company name and logo, including options to edit them.
All of these adjustments are designed to make everyday management tasks smoother and more informative, enhancing the experience without changing the familiar structure players are already used to.
Truck Configurator Improvements
The Truck and Trailer Configurator, along with the Explorer, are also receiving targeted improvements. While these screens are powerful, we recognize that their current form is not always optimal for controller or mouse use, with some functions being unclear, difficult to navigate, or lacking helpful tooltips and hints. A number of smaller issues have also been addressed as part of this update.
Rather than a complete redesign, our goal here is to refine and improve the existing UI. This means clearer navigation, better feedback, added hints where needed, and overall stability improvements, all while keeping the familiar structure intact.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4036972/6b44dd9ccb73142b04f9adcb3cc74d22b5d18c38.jpg"]
We have also added the "Apply to All Compatible" feature for configuring paintable wheel accessories such as bolts, nuts, rims, hubs, and hub covers. When changing a colour, you can use Apply to All Compatible to apply it to all matching wheel accessories, so you no longer need to change each one individually.
These changes should make vehicle customization more accessible and enjoyable, whether you're fine-tuning details with a mouse or navigating menus from the comfort of a controller.
This is a fairly big set of changes, and we want to be transparent about that. We know acclimatising to these adjustments may take some time, and that feedback from the community is crucial. That's why the Open Beta phase was especially important for us, allowing a broader audience to try these changes and share their thoughts.
All of these improvements are part of our long-term vision for American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. They help us prepare the core of our games for exciting new projects that are yet to come, while also making everyday gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.
