ATS 1.41 discussion

[VANSON]

Do they turn off the open beta option? We have the full version of patch 1.41 and we may still be in public beta.

So I can only say: "if you haven't tried it yet, just try, you may actually be surprised" And if you still don't like it, then no one forces you to continue.

I totally agree. I'm not much of a MP person myself but I really enjoyed myself. Now I haven't played in several weeks because I've been enjoying the new N14 from Kriechbaum but the experience has changed my mind about MP. Now I don't necessarily convoy much while in it, but mingling with others that are play a game I love is cool. I mainly play single player while playing MP with random people. But when I play in private sessions, I'd do the convoy with those member of the session.

What's the point with trying convoy? I'll be in other part of map... it will be single player game....

The point just trying something new. It's not for everyone but its fun to at least try it. I enjoyed myself in single player doing convoy than I ever would than just playing single player campaign. The people you play with does make a difference though. Topics are different and certain people can be annoying.........just leave the session if they talk to much or talk isn't interesting. But its definitely worth trying at least once. I too was more impressed than I thought I'd be. Compared to TruckersMP, SCS MP is much much better. The AI isn't perfect but I'd much rather have them than not. SCS has a nice foundation to work with though.

I'll probably try it once we can use mods.

[flight50]

I will admit that if we could at least use sound mods I'd play more. But I probably won't jump into convoy much on my own without at least sound mods.

[xDope]

^ Agreed. I would definitely play much more Convoy if I can use sound/weather mods

we leave beta branch running for some time typically.
but it is advised to switch to regular release or you might find yourself in some future beta without any warning. also, it connects to beta version of WoTr IIRC.

... also, it connects to beta version of WoTr IIRC.

Once the beta version is released as public branch I believe both branches connects to the production site
At least this is my experience

[MarkON]

It's worth remember that sometimes developers will put future small updates on depot: public_beta several hours/days before the public build release.

[plykkegaard]

Never had an issue staying in the beta branch

I hope mod support will come sooner than later. Eseciialy for ETS2, in I don't need much mods in ATS.
