Having the latest Version of ETS2 and the Downgraded Version in paralell

[Unfaced85]

Hi there, 

 

I am fairly new to ETS2 Multiplayer. Is there a way to keep both the latest Version on Steam and somehow the Downgraded Version for the MP in paralell?

I want to play with my Friends here and there, but continueing my Singleplayer 1.4 Version as well.

So down/upgrading all the time gets old. Any elegant Solution out there on how to tackle this?

 

Thank you,

br Unfaced

Ok so thanks for this, but this was not what I meant - I am fine in using 2 different profiles for SP & MP.

What I meant was, how to keep 2 Installations of ETS2 - one for the latest and greates updates for my SP and one Static one for the MP - downlaoding every Time 2-3 GBytes whgen switching is not that fun with my slow Internet connection.

So this is what I wanted to ask - if this is possible somehow

It is, and it's quite easy...

 

1 - In Steam, downgrade your game to 1.39 or whatever version MP requires.

2 - When finished, make a copy of the \steamapps\common\Euro Truck Simulator 2\ folder somewhere different. I use D:\Steam\steamapps\... For the Steam games, so I copied and renamed the folder as D:\ETS2-139\

3- In Steam, Upgrade the game to the None beta options again.

4- Reinstall TruckersMP launcher, when asked about the game directory, use the path to the new folder you renamed in step 2. Like: You'd see C:\program files(x86)\Steam\steamapps... etc. You change that to D:\ETS2-139

 

This can be done exactly the same for ATS, of course. When you want to play the current version, you run the game from Steam or your desktop shortcut directly, when you want to play MP, you just run the launcher.

 

I can guarantee that it works. Of course, I use different profiles, my main one in 1.40-SP and a secondary one in 1.39-MP, to avoid save game conflicts.

Hello There @Unfaced85

 

First of all, welcome to TruckersMP Forum

 

The recommendation that I will demonstrate may extend to your request.

 

1-)  I'm assuming your files are saved on your pc; 

 

 

 

2-)  To ensure that nothing can go wrong, do a backup of your file as shown in the photo illustration

 

 

 

 

 

3-) Now in-game you can create a save  profile as in the photo illustration below;

 

 

 

Note:  you will now have all your progress from the current version 1.40 saved and will be able to upgrade by playing in singleplayer

 

Now do downgrade to version 1.39, play a quick singleplayer game and save, go online and load this save and have fun!

 

I hope this suggestion of maintaining the same profile may have helped.

Hello there! 

 

Unfortunately, this is not possible to keep 2 installations of ETS2 on your system from Steam, due to the fact that only one version of it can be done at one time. 

Although, because you are fine with 2 different profiles for SP and MP, that is the way that you will have to do it without running into incompatibility issues. 

 

I hope this answers your question.
