ETS 2 1.38 in open beta

It will take several more weeks before full version 1.38. This is why SCS has decided to open the beta to the public. What can we expect to find in this open beta 1.38 for ETS2? Let's take a look.

First, the city of Lille received a reskin, which includes new road networks, updates to existing intersections, more detailed landscapes, and the inclusion of more recent vegetation, terrain textures, And much more.

The road junctions have been reworked to be based on provisions more faithful to reality. Road signs and roads in general have also been updated with more precise, realistic and detailed textures.

Another important change that has been made concerns the various truck dealerships located across Europe. Each brand of truck represented now has its own unique dealership design. All dealer locations on the Euro Truck Simulator 2 map have received an update.

On the graphic side, the Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, better known in its shorter form SSAO, makes its appearance and allows you to create more natural and believable shadows.

Always on the aesthetic side, many new vehicle customization options are arriving in the menus. The GPS interface benefits from a cleaner and more modern user interface allowing a larger map view on the screen.

SCS Software offers with this update 1.38, 3 new special transport routes for drivers in the latest expansion “Road to the Black Sea”. These routes are Resita to Targu Mures, Istanbul to Edirne, and finally Pleven to Sofia.

If you want to participate in the open beta, you can find this version in the public_beta branch on Steam. The way to access it is as follows. Steam Client → LIBRARY → right click on Euro Truck Simulator 2 → Properties → Betas tab → public_beta → 1.38 public beta. No password required.

  1. Hi,
    I've been playing ETS 1.38 Beta 2 since it was available and have already discovered a whole bunch of cities (I started a new game on purpose).
    The problem I noticed is that the dealerships are not tagged as uncovered when I pass by or even if I enter the yard.
    Is this a bug and has it been reported?

    Thank you and congratulations for all your news
