There’s currently no definite release date for the full version of the Convoy mode or any mention of when Euro Truck Simulator 2 faithfuls can also expect multiplayer to be brought over to their side of the territory, but it will come in due time. Euro Truck Simulator 2 Multiplayer report 3214360 & 3301138 Aslan. Instead, the only mention of it so far has been a forum post that provides more little details.Įven so, American Truck Simulator owners are free to test it out via the Steam beta options menu. This testing phase is so small that SCS hasn’t even promoted it on its official blog or social media pages as it does with most other new features and content that are implemented into its two sims. The team already has “a long list of improvements and features already collected to consider for future major updates,” but the it’s open to feedback garnered during this experimental phase.

With the new mode only being in beta, SCS advises that there might be some bugs and glitches present. These are just a few of the limitations, but overall, most things you would expect have been left intact. Also, World of Truck external contracts are not yet supported. The whole concept behind this ambitious add-on is that every single truck on the road is controlled by a human driver, rather than by the AI.

As great as this is, it’ll only work if all of the players have the same set of cargo and map DLCs that the host player has. Euro Truck Simulator 2 doesn’t have multiplayer by default, but that didn’t stop modders from making it happen anyway. That means the AI traffic, time of day, and weather (to a degree) will be the same for each player. Players are able to tag along with up to seven others in a totally synchronized session. The game is the parallel sequel to Euro Truck Simulator 2, the spiritual successor. Nevertheless, the concept of the new Convoy Mode remains the same here in the current sims: it’s all about teaming up and delivering the same cargo to and from the same destination (or just occupy the same world). It was released on 2 February 2016 for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS. Fun fact: while “convoy” is a trucking term used to refer to a team of vehicles, it’s also the tagline for the fourth entry of SCS Software’s 18 Wheels of Steel series. It doesn't share any relation with SCS Software, though SCS Software has acknowledged its existence.
EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR MULTIPLAYER MOD
TruckersMP is a multiplayer mod available for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. This comes via a new game mode called Convoy. For the official multiplayer feature, see Convoy (game mode). SCS Software has formally introduced multiplayer functionality to its engine, starting with beta tests over in American Truck Simulator. Even with its now long-running existing sister games American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, they have remained as officially single-player only releases. In SCS Software’s long history of creating trucking sims, the company has never really pushed for multiplayer functionality.
