It's been a while since we last got in touch, but now we're back with a massive update for Truck Mechanic: Dangerous Paths, and trust us – it's been worth the wait! We've packed in a ton of new features, interactions, and systems to keep you busy on the perilous roads... Let's dive right in!




New Interactions

We've significantly expanded the range of uses and interactions for your tools. You can now open and repair gates and signs, or even demolish blockades using your trusty machete. You can also pick up new objects such as cash, skill books that grant free skill unlocks, and customization items. Additionally, the bolt cutters are now useful for slicing through certain fences, while the winch can be used to break down terrain obstacles. And that's not all – keep an eye out for paint buckets scattered around in-game locales to alter your truck's color scheme and give it a fresh new look!




New Reputation System

With so many new interactions, we've also revamped the reputation system. To progress through certain missions, you'll now need to attain specific reputation levels. And how do you do that? By completing side quests, cargo deliveries, and smaller tasks that earn you reputation points. It's time to step up and prove your worth!




Skill System

Finally, the long-awaited skill system is here! We've introduced 4 distinct skill categories: Driving, Mechanics, Exploration, and Economy. Each skill can be purchased with the cash you've collected or, as mentioned earlier, by finding special skill books hidden throughout the world. Unlock them to gain a strategic edge and further tailor your playstyle.




Misc Changes

In addition to these major inclusions, we've revised the tutorial system to make it clearer and more informative, ensuring that every newcomer knows the ropes. We've also introduced a guidebook where you can revisit essential mechanics or view gameplay tips at any time. Not to mention, the game now has full controller support, updated UI, and numerous other quality-of-life improvements to make your journey smoother than ever before.




Stay tuned for more updates and keep on trucking! If you like what you see, consider adding Truck Mechanic to your Steam Wishlist!

An emergency maintenance was held at 5:00 EST on 23rd June 2025 where the following bug fixes were pushed.

• Fixed a server error caused by NPC jutsu casting.

• Reduced timeout time for server login requests that seem to fail occasionally.

• Fixed an error to do with buggy ignored players lists.

DDoS Protection on the server was turned on to prevent a certain kind of DDoS attack. This attack pattern has been noticed by us throughout the years coming unknowingly from people using ExitLag's software. ExitLag does not improve your connection to the server any more than a normal VPN. We have found in our own investigation that it employs a cheap tactic of creating multiple TCP connections to game servers to trick the server into sending back Ping packets faster, giving the illusion of better ping.

When an individual does it, it creates about 5 TCP connections from what we've noticed. But at high peak hours we've noticed up to thousands of them. This could be that the software increases the amount of TCP connections when latency is higher to try to get even more ping packets faster.

This is a dev log of our investigation into the matter from 2023
