On the eve of the release of DLC, Western Balkans released update 1.48.5 for Euro Truck Simulator 2. The version of the game is not increased to the whole number, since mainly we are talking about the adaptation of some data.

Since the DLC release Western Balkans are already close, the developers work hard behind the scenes, correcting mistakes and bringing the addition to perfection to make sure that everything is in place for smooth release. This includes a tireless redemption of several databases with the global economy and topology of access to routes, and sometimes making appropriate changes to the game code.

In addition to hidden changes in data, there are several more noticeable features in this update – the inclusion of a new contents of the card! Players can look forward to acquaintance with the recently added city of Trieste, as well as with updated cities Ancona and Bari.

As you can notice, the technical update ETS2 1.48.5 is an important step in preparing for the release for Western Balkans, since it contains not only corrections of errors, but also the exciting new card content, which will better connect with the new part of the Universe of the game.

However, this is not all: in this update there are some changes that were initially not part of the open beta version 1.48.5, including the fact that American Truck Simulator will also receive update 1.48.5 Later this month. This is because the developers will introduce two new changes that, according to them, will benefit the players. This is a faster boot time and FPS limiter.

Accelerated loading

After updating games, it usually takes some time for re -caching and updating navigation data. Recently these data managed to optimize and significantly accelerate the process. Thanks to this update, the loading process has become about 6 times faster! This also includes the time of loading the company catalog, which is loaded with each launch of the game, which is 23 times faster than in previous assemblies!

Personnel frequency limiter

This function was very in demand by the community. This limiter is mainly intended for owners of powerful video cards. It was reported that when the Alt-Tab was pressed outside the simulator, the video card worked 100%, since they still tried to draw the maximum possible number of personnel. For this reason, the developers set a limit of 300 frames per second to limit the use of video cards., without limiting most monitors.
