It makes things less convenient, but I remember them violating this once before - ATS got a 'partial' update that had been content-frozen for the sake of DLC compatibility, while ETS2 got the full update later and ATS eventually caught up in like January or February. In effect, ETS2 skipped a version number.Bedavd wrote: ↑09 Jun 2021 23:25 One disadvantage I can think of is that SCS likes to keep ATS and ETS2 updated at the same time, so ETS2 would likely also have to be updated to 1.42 at the Wyoming release. That might not be ideal to make an entirely new version of the game just for a small update, particularly if ETS2 isn't getting a new major DLC out of it as ATS would.
Don't remember which state this was though. I think New Mexico. It definitely happened though, but it was years ago and I'm pretty sure it was just that once after the version numbers merged.
