Is map exploration to 100% no longer possible after this update? I am capped at 99.92%

[oritopo]

I have all DLC and I was able to achieve 100% map exploration on 1.46.
With the new patch/update, it dropped to 98.60%, so I tried to complete 100%, there are just 4 new cities, shouldn't be that hard.
I did rediscover these four cities, but the problem is, after the update, only 99.92% is possible.
On a map that big, it is equivalent to missing a city or a huge section of roads, but I find nothing missing.
I did a rollback to 1.46, loaded the original save game, no issues, it shows 100%.
I am alone with this issue?
I have no maps mods on my game, only one car mod to make the grinding of discovering the map more bearable.

Maybe the update includes in its internal data road sectors prepared to link with the next Western Balkans update thus as not still accessible you can't still discover them

Just guessing

Several other times an update has included from a few to a lot of changes in "random" road sectors scattered through all the map. Probably changes to fix bugs; and as "minor changes" they weren't described in detail on patch notes. That caused lots of sectors to become "undiscovered" again in the middle of completely discovered areas. Unless you meticulous check the whole map, it's easy to miss lots of them.

I hope someone could confirm if was able to make to 100% with version 1.47 and DLC all installed ...
At that point, I would discard it is a bug and either try to ask if there is something else beside these four new cities or if my save file is just broken.
This may be unrelated, but I am aware in ATS is no possible to get 100%, but at least the cap is 99.99%.

I was able to achieve 100% of the map in 1.47 it’s mostly around the rework cities I got 100% try looking around the 4 German Rework cities for gray sometimes they can be hidden round the companies that’s how I achieved 100% also check for like rest areas that you missed aswell which can trigger the map completion ether on the country roads and motorways and I confirm for ATS I have 100% map with all DLCs I don’t think the hidden roads to West Balkans DLC caused this if I remember SCS done an edit for road explore where if anyone doesn’t own a map dlc and if you drive it won’t count like it did back in the day but ATS was really tough in 1.46 and 1.47 there’s a guy on here who can help you his name is Steve Pitts he finds and puts up info of missing gray bits to find

I have not got back to 100% with v1.47 in ETS2 yet, rather more work this time than ATS, but I see nothing in the data that suggests it won't be possible.

Things to look out for with v1.47 that aren't involved in the four reworked German cities:

. a new dummy junction on route 1 N of Dobra Ferma in Sofia, BG

. two roads and a rest area S of Kolico in Sofia, BG that join up to route 18

. in and around the weigh station on the eastbound D110 E of Tekirdag, TR

I knew about the gray parts in Sofia BG but never knew there were one in a weigh station in Tekirdag TR

Yes, I'm at 100%. Most major updates cause random sections of road to turn grey (I assume for bug fixes) If you use a mod on the steam workshop it will highlight them as red so they are easier to spot (sometimes it still takes me a while to find them all though)

it dropped to 98.60% [...] but the problem is, after the update, only 99.92% is possible

I too saw my discovery (with all DLCs) drop to 98.60% but having discovered nearly every item across the new German cities I am back up to 99.94% so there are definitely bits you've missed in Germany. I should be done with Germany with one more delivery, to CNP in Nuremberg, and then I will head off to Bulgaria to see how much I've still left to discover at the point I tip over to 100.00% on the in game map.

Hi guys, thank you very much for your kind and useful answers. I was able to reach 100% again.
I did everything again from 98.60%, I got 99.95% from exploring the reworked German cities, after that, the two segments around Sofia completed the missing 0.05%.
To be honest, I didn't bother on looking on the map outside Germany for missing segments, I thought something was wrong with my saved file.

Yeah, for those wanting to keep the 100%, every update is a pain. The good part at least is that we know all those bits that we have to explore again is because bugs had been fixed.

At least the recent options that allows a better control of the icons visibility help to find hidden little road bits here and there.

Also, remember that the % explored counter has natural rounding. So, once we reach 99,996% it shows in the map explorer as 100% (and grants the Steam achievement). So, you probably doesn't have really ALL the map explored as most people who reach 100% at some point. As as the map grows bigger, that 0,004% leftover is more and more small sectors left though the map. Also, I recall a few of those sectors were a bit bugged and they couldn't really be discovered just driving normally. Steve Pitts knows well all those details.
