At last, updates 1.23 for [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/227300]Euro Truck Simulator 2[/url] and 1.2 for [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/270880]American Truck Simulator[/url] are live. We would like to thank everybody who participated in the extended open beta. We have received a huge amount of valuable feedback that made us re-engineer some elements of Steam Workshop support to make it more robust.
Let us recap the key features coming for both games with the this update wave:

If you are interested in modding our games, check out our new [url=http://modding.scssoft.com/]modding wiki[/url] - it's full of useful information and tools for creating mods.
Steam version of the game will be updated automatically by default, unless you have changed the update preferences. Also if you are using any of the older betas of the game on Steam, you will stay in the beta and will not be automatically going through a game update.
It has been great to see so many mods appearing on Steam Workshop already during the open beta. For those of you not yet familiar with Steam Workshop, we have created the following short step-by-step video explaining the process of adding a mod to our game.
