The beta version of European Truck Simulation 21.40beta has been opened for testing. What's new in 1.40 beta? The following is a detailed introduction of the new contents in the beta version 1.40 of "European Truck Simulation 2" for your reference.

With the excitement of the upcoming version update of our two truck simulation games, we are pleased to tell you that the update open test of European truck simulation version 2 1.40 is now ready, waiting for our community members to participate in the experience!

Please note that this is only an early public beta version, and many contents are still in the development and construction stage. We expect that it will take several weeks to complete further adjustment to ensure the stability and reliability of the new version. If you want to try it early, you can also report any bugs you may encounter in the designated section of the official forum to help us better improve this update. Your feedback and report are very valuable to our team. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help us.

So, let's see what the 1.40 version updates have!

New lighting system

When you first get into the cab, you will find that one of the biggest changes is the addition of a new lighting system. Although the current effect is not perfect, it is a solid first step for us to improve the game screen. The new lighting system has comprehensive HDR components, which can well adapt to the changes of sunlight exposure under different time or weather conditions.

Our design team must make a lot of adjustments to all the objects in the game, including most 2D/3D assets, textures and materials in the game, so that they can better match the new physical model of the new lighting system. Some textures, including our new HDR weather box, have higher resolution. But for now, our work in this area is still relatively restrained to ensure that the game has a reasonable performance on computers equipped with mid-range and below GPUs. For this main representation in graphics, we plan to discuss it further in the following "behind the scenes" series of articles, providing more information and comparing pictures.

We are very excited to let everyone experience and immerse themselves in the game world of new lighting effects. This is the result of thousands of hours of work by our team of programmers and visual effect designers and other teams involved in developing and introducing new lighting systems.

During this open test, your feedback is very important and valuable to us, so we ask you to submit your comments and suggestions here to the updated version of European truck simulation 2 1.40.
