Load Order - ATS v1.49 Map Combos (Updated 24 Mar 2024 - Bonjour Quebec)

[DaveInIowa]

Good day and thank you for your work.
I am brand new (month) to ATS.
Just spent the last couple hours DLing all the maps and packages.
Now to load!
My question as a noob.
ATS 1.40 is in beta...how do updates work?
Does Steam auto update and then it is up to me to get all the new 3rd party packages that are now defunct?
I 'assume' Steam Workshop DLs will auto update when the creator does so.
Are ATS version updates wholesale messing with 3rd party content or usually just minor fixes.
How long do betas last?
Months or did I just spend all this time to have ATS to not work in a few weeks?
LOL
You get my query
THANKS!
Dave

@DaveInIowa

If you are on the beta branch, only updates for the 1.40 beta will be downloaded.

If a mod on the Steamwork shop is ready to be updated for any version, it will download and update regardless of whether you are in the 1.40 beta or back on 1.39.

Betas have no real time frame, just when the team decides it is ready for the final build to be pushed onto Steam.

If you have maps, trucks etc for 1.39 just opt out of the beta and use your 1.39 profile.

It depends. Some 3rd party content/mods will work without problems on an ATS version update, other mods sometimes will take several weeks, if not months, to be compatible with an ATS update. So, nobody can tell.

[Vinnie Terranova]

Load order updated with Reforma 2.1.1, Caribbean Map 1.1 and Midwest Expansion 0.162b. I haven't test it thorougly, so if you have crashes, just let me know.
Also I've removed Island Map from the list for now, as it uses Mega Resources, which is now included in Reforma. If it works, with or without an additional patch or fix, I will of course included it in the map combo again.

Hi do i need viva mexico with C2cC and promods new 1.40 thanks

[Digital X]

Hi Vinnie, could you make the Australia map read "v1.0d" as that's the file name now? thanks.

I'll test the new combination with and without Island Map and see if works and looks OK. Seeing as Mega Resouces is now included in the Reforma update, wouldn't it be OK to use Island Map anway? seeing as the needed files are all in one? Maybe I'm not understanding it correctly.

@Rusty Driver Viva Mexico is included in Reforma 2.1.1 now.

Greetings,

Thank you for updating and maintaining the 1.40 load orders!

I am using this exact order in ATS minus Alaska/Australia/Bellingham/Grand Canyon and have broken roads on US2 and US12 between Idaho and Montana (in C2C). I don't recall this problem in 1.39. Is anyone else seeing this as well or am I doing something wrong here... thank you!

UPDATE: As an experiment I tired getting rid of all mods other than the ones shown in Reforma suggested load order for Promods + C2C + Refomra linked below, and still have the broken roads... Hm...

@Digital X Thanks for your tip about Australian Outback Map! I've updated the load order. I've also included Island Map back into the list, and it indeed seems to work.

@stevefunk2010 Broken roads in Idaho are due to the fact that Montana Expansion is removed from C2C. In the near future it will be back, just not included in C2C but as an addon for C2C. More info here.
