That's worth investigating.
I just want to say I never have had anything but a legal version of the game installed.
I have also not yet run the 1.4.8s version of ETS2 so I can't say whether I have the disappearing trailer problem. So what I detail below may be completely irrelevant.
I bought ETS2 on pre-order from SCS directly, that was before it was available on Steam. I activated that "retail" version with the supplied key, consequently I have a registry entry that records a hash of the retail key. Later I activated ETS2 on Steam with that retail key, downloaded and installed the Steam version and deleted (removed) the retail version of ETS2.
The registry entry for that "retail" key remains even though it is not used by the Steam version (to my knowledge).
If a "pirate" key (or simply a bad key) was still present in the registry, even if not used by a legal Steam version of ETS2, could the presence of that registry entry cause the problem?
