Euro Truck Simulator 2 Patch 1.5 2 To 1.6.1 [patched]

Euro Truck Simulator 2: The Leap to 1.6.1 (From 1.5.2)

While incremental patches in Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) often focus on minor bug fixes, the transition from version 1.5.2 to 1.6.1 represented a significant technical milestone for the title. This update cycle, which took place during the game's maturation phase in late 2013, bridged the gap between the game's initial launch state and its modern architecture.

  • Fixed issues with the Job Market filtering (origin/destination filters working incorrectly).
  • Resolved map waypoint snapping bugs and improved route recalculation when encountering closed roads.
  • Fixed save/load menu sorting and missing preview thumbnails on certain saves.
  • Addressed audio volume slider not persisting between sessions in some configurations.
