Understandably, accommodating a potentially endless amount of third-party mods within the confines of a multiplayer game can be complicated. Players have been producing custom truck parts, paint jobs, sound overhauls, maps, and much more. The modding community has been an integral part of these games’ success over the years. The addition of support for third-party mods within the convoy system will be a godsend for dedicated players of the popular long-haul trucking sims.
SCS, the developer behind both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, took to their Steam Community portal to announce the news of today’s update. With the release of today’s 1.42 patch for both truck titles, convoy participants can now use mods when playing with their friends. While the initial rollout of multiplayer support (known in-game as convoys) was very much welcomed by the community, it came with the caveat that no modifications could be used. One of the most exciting developments in PC gaming this year was the introduction of official multiplayer support for both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2.
