In our ongoing effort to enhance our World of Trucks service we have just launched World of Trucks Achievements.



Current achievements set is primarily related to already existing WoTR features. Please log in to your account and check them out! It's highly likely you'll be able to get one or two with minimum effort right now.



At first it may sound like nothing too special is going on, World of Trucks is still only a place for game screenshots and not much more. However, for us it marks a day of very important service code base integration that is getting built exclusively for World of Trucks.

In case you haven't registered yet, any genuine retail or digital key as well as registration via Steam link will work (but only once!).

Remember, you can get a free Metallic Paint Jobs DLC by registering on World of Trucks.

Stay tuned for more news about World of Trucks evolution. With future updates, it should become clearer that our ambition is way beyond the current feature set - gameplay to be delivered through and inside World of Trucks!

We have quite a task ahead of us now to finalize the testing of update 1.14 for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The big star of the update will of course be the new Euro 6 DAF XF truck tractor!

We may have been a bit over-optimistic in our estimates for 1.14 release date in our earlier blog posts, but finally we are entering the wider testing stage. We will only release the update when we deem it solid enough, but the wait should be worth it - some pretty neat things are coming. A hint of one of the new features is in the screenshot below:



We have some new help too - a new member of SCS Software's team. Our company has been growing slowly but steadily over the past year (and experiencing some growing pains in the process we must admit), and we are very happy with all the new guys and girls coming on board. Usually we don't publicize new hires, but in this case it may be interesting to make an exception. Some of you may recognize the nickname of 50keda from ETS2 moding community. We are proud to welcome 50keda to our company now as a full-time employee!



ETS2 is still on sale, this is the best time to complete your DLC collection!

It took a longer than anticipated testing process to produce the Steam Achivements Update a.k.a Update 1.13 for Euro Truck Simulator 2, but finally, quite late tonight, we are here with the release on Steam!



The central feature new to this game update is the introduction of Steam Achievements, as described in our earlier announcement.

The rest of the changes is relatively limited and non-critical, these are only very local "diffs" implemented on top of the previous stable 1.12 and 1.11 versions:

• Steam achievements
  
• Added functionality to unbind keys/buttons/axes in game ui
  
• Added cruise control grid option
  
• Cruise control speed limited to truck speed limit speed (if enabled)
  
• Quickload and quicksave
  
• Bindable keys/buttons for increasing and decreasing of radio volume

• Fixed speed limits in some countries (Belgium, France, Poland, Slovakia)
  
• Fixed license plate generation in some cities (Graz, Klagenfurt, Ostrava)

From this point of view this update should not break too many mods, but your mileage may vary. If you are playing the game with mods, it is always a good idea to make backups of your profile folder structure to safeguard older save game files, and be aware of means to revert back to earlier version if you deem it desirable. This is actually very easy on Steam - we are using the system of Steam betas for keeping older releases of the game accessible.

Retail variant of this game update, of course without the Steam Achievements, will be made available in a couple of days.

For the next game update to version 1.14, the changes in code and game data will be much bigger. We are merging in changes to the game world, especially the northern parts that need to be altered for having good connections to the future region of Scandinavia. A lot of game and engine code has been changed, and 1.14 will roll in various improvements that the programming team has queued up for release over circa past 3 months. And last but not least, finally the new Euro 6 DAF truck tractor is almost ready, with the last round of iterations based on feedback from DAF Trucks N.V. getting us very close to desired quality. Testing all this mix of changes and additions is a complex procedure, please have patience with us!
