Might be a good time to return for some more trucking 🚚

[@Streetrocker28]

I’still wait till promods gets updated along with Coast to coast , Alaska NTTF , Midwest etc probably after the release of Nebraska , can’t wait to fire it up again after 2 months of silence

[@deep_water]

I havent for a while so did last night and the change is incredible and to think this is the begining of the graphics engine changes is exciting. UI is cool too. I think I will install ATS again as well and buy Nebraska.

[@elegant_credit]

It's been a while hasn't it?😂

[@davidistakinganap]

I did last night too and the changes were pretty big I just need to wait for some mods to get updated sadly.

[@sprunkadct]

Perfect SCS! Thanks for the update. I hope California Rework Phase 4 doesn't take as long as Phase 3 did. Unless if it's for making it better 😉

[@pocolashon]

"Unless if it's for making better" - that is 'somehow' expected, isn't it?

[@Qagent1]

They're now gonna be reworking SoCal (Southern California) which includes the second largest city in the U.S. this will probably take a while.

[@joealex65]

It won't, the problem with Phase 3 is that mappers were taken from the rebuild team to help finish Montana and Texas and then the rebuild team had to be created again with a new lead, they are working on Phase 4 right now but San Diego and Los Angeles will take a lot of work to get done.

[@Qagent1]

@@joealex65 Yeah ik that LA and San Diego will take a while that's why a said phase 4 will take a while

[@danielvargas6960]

I know Phase 3 took 1 year to complete due to the city’s and new content

bravo SCS! Can not wait to get in and truck!

[@DileepaDilshan]

Thanks for the hard work #scs🎉❤

[@AnsariGamingWorld]

Awesome ..... Love to play ATS

[@user-xl5cw7gg8t]

The lane assist function, especially the lane keeping support, would be better to replace it with lane centering

[@cedricdavis513]

Lol might as well add auto-pilot at that point

[@egamer1044]

​@@cedricdavis513 pretty what bros trying to say i guess 😂

[@galy0]

Thanks SCS for this update.

[@cooluser4017]

Awesome job, like always . Looks like i will be busy this weekend with california update and nebraska release.

[@syedshayaan4247]

I love it when developers focus on quality of life changes ❤

[@DeafGuyChronicles.]

I just logged off and received the update. I'm about to check it out once it finishes.

[@stevenrisnyovszky1120]

Games from CSC Studios are just great. Thanks for being so consistent!

[@mrhunter7087]

Amazing SCS, i love ATS🙏

[@WarningSign1000]

This is gonna be so good! I’ll do some trucking in Kansas and Wyoming today, can’t WAIT for Nebraska to release tomorrow 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@lasamoostang]

The lane keeping support will be awesome for when I'm trying to look at the scenery!

[@helloimclaudio]

Or when I start dozing off, sometimes I really wanna finish a delivery before I go to bed 😂

[@kyledowns7879]

great work

[@Overkill4.0Megadesk4.0]

I am loving the new updates for my favorite game of all time which is ATS

[@Naviss]

A fresh coat of paint! Great work!

[@Brave___________]

Thank SCS 👌👏💪🔥🔥🔥🤝

[@derrickmurphytruckgames2024]

Great video 👍

[@helloimclaudio]

Great update, I haven’t even has a chance to visit the revamped California areas yet

[@kissfan6321]

More excellent stuff from SCS!!

[@muiruridexter]

Hell yeah! Back behind the wheel

[@Richard-pl5rn]

Gracias a todas las personas de SCS por tener la idea y constancia de seguir mejorando el juego Ats y hacerlo mas optimizado , sigan adelante haciendo muchas mejoras y creando mas Ciudades o Estados es un Gran Juego que merece ser Cuidado y aun mas Realista .... Los Felicito a todo el equipo de SCS por su gran esfuerzo pero sigan adelante que todavia falta .👏👏👍....Saludos desde Costa Rica

[@nikrichhofficial]

THIS IS JUST AMAZING!!!

[@bradleycook9942]

I just have one thing on 1.49 I still had some lag spikes at times but could still somewhat run the game but on 1.50 it is almost unplayable It ope ns and has not crashed which is good but the lag is intense and makes the game almost unplayable the game freezes at almost every frame.

[@MrParis215]

What your series I have a 3060 and never had those issues before Now I'm running into all the things you mentioned... Driving me nuts😂😂😂Guess I gotta start saving for a 40 series😫😭😭🤦🏾🤦🏾

[@madmax2069]

​@@MrParis215 that won't save you, the issue is with the game itself, not your hardware.

[@bradleycook9942]

@MrParis215 I have Amd software probably hitman but I just had to disable all the mods I actually liked😒😭😭😭

[@voron8521]

Bravo 💪👏

[@senthilmurugan6431]

Super

[@gregoriencarnacionsanchez9330]

Awesome beautifur

[@Haddley333]

fantastic! I was hoping for an improvement in AA.

[@citymanlive]

Yeah!

[@roobes]

Love ATS always will be a game I come back to!

[@RONALDOSIMULATOR]

Nice

[@Dan_Gyros]

Let's goooooooo!

[@toko5550]

The sound got worse in the 1.50 beta (the sound became like a DJ), and the official version was released without any fixes. The problem didn't occur until 1.49, so it's obviously gotten worse with the 1.50 update.

[@rubberduck8302]

SCS Software IS the BEST about trucking so far

[@bonsaiberta]

Belíssimo trabalho, no meu mapa ainda não tenho a última dlc , 😍😍😍

[@alexito2212]

wao!!

[@diegobarrionuevo5679]

We need a snowy day

[@danbuter]

Looks great! Now my big wishlist mainly includes good engine sounds! I shouldn't have to download engine sound mods ever.

[@fieryphoenix586]

Might get the last three maps in the next Steam Sale. Getting back into the game.

[@Leyvis_YT]

I love this company ❤

[@katiebarbour8667]

Please fix the bugs

[@madmax2069]

It's not as simple as pressing a button.

[@tecnicsboys]

Hello from mexico

[@ksix1team]

I’m crying and laughing at the same time….just too good. Thank you so much SCS❤

[@kd9-3.77]

There probably is medication for what you have

[@petergilbert144]

Now with LKAS, the whole sensing package is almost complete. Hopefully, the radar cruise has been fixed so it doesn't randomly slow down with nothing in front. All that's left is steering headlights.

[@bibo987945]

Good game, really enjoy it.

[@southboundtp2067]

Already updated 😎👌

[@Vanya890pc]

❤

[@redsox9561]

Good job is game is getting better and better keep up 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@helloimclaudio]

Right? I see so many petty complaints, it’s a free update with lots of new changes, I’m very happy with it 🎉

[@szewei85]

Haha new California is wonderful

[@taosomchai7096]

❤❤❤❤

[@BLAZEvalbuena]

en las comunidades de los serves privados de ats estamos agradecidos de que dejaran la opción de sesiones de 128 jugadores y esperamos que se quede para siempre, seria bueno para aumentar el realismo que el camión se ensucie, se pinche o se dañe al pasar por trochas o chocar ya que aumentaría mucho mas el realismo. muchas gracias sigan así

[@johntorres6374]

I got to admit the new updates are amazing, especially in VR through Steam they really outdone themselves

[@predoba4671]

🔥🙏🏼

[@nightwolfgaming6919]

yesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lovecraftcat]

Good update

[@775Master.]

Tmj !!!!

[@vickysim2675]

Update is good. But makes the distant objects blurry

[@MrParis215]

My 3060 can't handle after this update😫😫😭 Never had an issue with studder or tearing before Now gotta start saving for 40 series🤦🏾🤦🏾

[@madmax2069]

​@@MrParis215 throwing more power at it won't fix the issue, it's the game itself that's the issue, you'll still see the issue even with a 4000 series.

[@Leftyizme1]

​@@MrParis215I'm running an AMD Rx580 Was playing at a steady 60fps before.. now it's avg. 15fps. It's the update, not the hardware.

[@chessiecat96]

That's because of the Anti-Aliasing

[@SrUnholy]

I just got my first wheel to play again and ETS and ATS got better!

[@dave5146]

super umgesetzt jetzt macht das spiel richtig Spaß ich hoffe das der Multi Player noch stabiler Wirt danke

[@bobk4438]

I'm hoping it goes on sale tomorrow.

[@3HunterMwo]

add more trucks like Freightliner FLA

[@JosueC730]

This all new interface is nice, but I think some people would want the old one. Anyways, it needs to be polished, once started there is no stop button for the radio or music playerm, it only pauses, so there's no way to get back to in game background music. Also I thought ETS2 1.50 would bring the electric Renault Truck, I guess I expected it too early. BTW, I hope that also means we will get the Tesla Semi here?

[@12345Naankadavul-]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jesus1096GD]

Common SCS W

[@WayneKerr69420]

Indeed.

[@MarioCityMods88]

How is the performance? Since the game came out it has become more and more demanding. and in the last big update in 1.40 with the lighting improvement it was very noticeable. I also hope you consider adding the International Durastar or Prostar trucks in future updates.

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

It's actually become a bit smoother with a bit more FPS for my 2600X 1060GTX, but milage may vary. I feel the Depth of Field option gives a bit of a hit for not much benefit, and I turn mirrors down a bit, but overall it feels a bit better than 1.49!

[@117johnpar]

Just got my moza wheel in yesterday. How is the timing so perfect.

[@Cereal421]

Does anyone else have problems with stream deck controls? I tried returning to the game after a couple years away and all my custom controls options were wiped out and replaced with the "default" control setup made by SCS specifically for the steam deck. The problem is that it just doesn't work, as in you press buttons and nothing happens. I want my old control setup back but the new control system is broken to the point that it doesn't recognize my inputs when I try to pick which buttons I want to use when setting custom controls.

[@artbonvic]

1:07 wasn't it better before?

[@Asstronauts93]

Are you guys going to put the Baltimore bridge in

[@zaybethea1823]

Can y’all make where the antenna and mud flap fly back when we on the highway? On in general

[@Elvisnephew]

Soon as I get all my maps loaded and working BAM...update lol

[@riwones9564]

it's the good one

[@x-plane9901]

I love both games, ETS2 and ATS so much. They are one of the best Simulators ever. Great job SCS. I am so exited, because the nebraska map tomorrow. Greetings from germany 😉

[@Phantom19-YT]

1.50 nice achievement

[@noone3734]

No 389 update? How disappointing.

[@mrkrabbbbz]

next dlc: fridge/microwave colors

[@Busolengtelolet_555]

Might be good I think🤔🤔

[@jonathankolomar884]

Maneiro mas Achei que vinha uma nova Geração

[@wzywgy]

1.50 looks great and more fun but why would the game crush while using headlights in Kayenta?

[@sleepingcat5102]

since this update, my game has a nasty delay when i move the camera or turn the wheel .... i used to play on Ultra now even on medium it's bad.... cool

[@MrDalnoboy2011]

Add new cargo! Update cargo market please!!!

[@BoyPlaying]

Will the animated loading only be in the new DLC?

[@NPC-Gamer]

Shouldn't break previous version modded trucks, right ? Looks good regardless and looking forward to seeing it for myself later

[@bigtstacks12]

I play on the steamdeck and every since the update there is no rain affects on my windows when it rain

[@BombPineapple]

San Francisco has no trams for me

[@JAKFOXGaming]

Can’t wait til this comes to console

[@hollingermatt2020]

hack yeah

[@chrismiller8983]

Is it coming to console

[@trashyspeeds266]

I very much doubt its coming to console

[@matthijsweststrate5552]

My guess would be at least 5+ years from now

[@dwaynelawson4062]

I don't think it ever will

[@anthonygreen7525]

For me, both ATS & ETS2 show "Version Change Detected", with having to "enable news" and other notifications each and every time I launch either program. Nothing appears to save, please solve soon!?!?!

[@Richard-pl5rn]

Greetings SCS, thanks for the video. With this new Ats update 1.50 I have a problem with the game that at the time of playing I am doing the route with the truck and it is not going at the normal speed, it starts to get between slow and fast and it is quite tedious and the strange thing is that with 1.49 That didn't happen to me, I don't have a Gamer PC but 16GB of Ram is quite good and the disk is solid 512 and as I told you before it didn't happen to me. SCS I would like to know your opinion or if anyone can also know what may be happening. thank you

[@iftiflo2039]

What about the tiny texutre LOD when will be finally fixed?

[@blazersr01]

Excellent update! Congratulations to the SCS team. Here are some things that still need to be done in the game (Google Translate): 1° You should increase the rendering distance of objects, trees and mountains, it's clear that these things suddenly appear on the screen, it's a bit annoying. 2° American Truck's artificial intelligence seems more stupid than Euro Truck's, they brake suddenly in front of us; They brake too much when they are going to take an exit from the highway... they hit each other when the highway is narrowed. 3° The criterion for sleeping has to be just getting into the space, because when you have a very large trailer that is difficult to maneuver, it becomes impossible to adapt it to the space, making it impossible to sleep. 4° The fine for driving while tired is meaningless, how does the police officer know I'm tired? That's it for now. We love your games!

[@nikrichhofficial]

#3 To be able to sleep in difficult positions, simply unsaddle the trailer and get it back when you wake up... that's how I always do it.

[@blazersr01]

@@nikrichhofficial Me too.

[@jarekstorm6331]

You’re fined for exceeding your allowed hours. Truckers must keep logs, with so many hours allowed for driving and for rest periods. With gps it’s easy to verify whether you exceeded your hours. It’s not just about being tired, it’s the law.

[@blazersr01]

@@jarekstorm6331 Hmm... I see, here in Brazil it is customary for truck drivers (not all) to use drugs to stay awake and finish their work faster.

Still having problems with the freightliner hood needs to be reworked

[@erickrodriguez98]

well this update completely messed up my controller inputs. I can only use keyboard. and it actually bugs out if I try to set up a controller.

Any improvement in the VR performance?
