It is presumed but unknown whether this works for more modern versions of the game.

This guide is for people who want to keep 1.37 installed for whatever reason (i use VR) but still want to play in MP.

We are going to be using a batch script to rename the ETS2 folder and make Steam launch the version of your choosing.

 

  1. Go to https://pastebin.com/00pVkCs9
  2. Copy the code into your favorite text editor (like Notepad++)
  3. Substitute %SteamLibrary% with your Steam library folder (For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common)
  4. Save the file anywhere as .bat

 

Now off to prepare your game's folder:

 

  1. If you're playing in MP, you have version 1.36. Go to your Steam library folder and make a copy of the Euro Truck Simulator 2 folder and name it "Euro Truck Simulator 2 - 1.36" without quotes. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT AS THE BATCH FILE LOOKS SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT FOLDER!
  2. Go to Steam and opt out of the 1.36 fallback and wait for the download to complete.

 

That's it! Now all you gotta do is launch the script whenever you want to play and type in the version you desire.

I tested and approved. I also used it with 1.37 x 1.38. Answering your question: The TMP launcher will inform you that the version is incompatible with the current version (if applicable) or will accept it if it is correct and go to the game. If it is incompatible, just run the .bat for the compatible version and have fun. Hope this helps.

Esta guía es para personas que quieren mantener 1.37 instalado por cualquier motivo (yo uso VR) pero aún quieren jugar en MP.

Vamos a utilizar un script por lotes para cambiar el nombre de la carpeta ETS2 y hacer que Steam lance la versión que elija.

 

  1. Vaya a https://pastebin.com/00pVkCs9
  2. Copie el código en su editor de texto favorito (como Notepad ++)
  3. Sustituya% SteamLibrary% por la carpeta de la biblioteca de Steam (por ejemplo, ? \ Archivos de programa (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common)
  4. Guarde el archivo en cualquier lugar como .bat

 

Ahora vamos a preparar la carpeta de tu juego:

 

  1. Si juegas en MP, tienes la versión 1.36. Vaya a la carpeta de su biblioteca Steam y haga una copia de la carpeta Euro Truck Simulator 2 y asígnele el nombre "Euro Truck Simulator 2 - 1.36" sin comillas . ESTE PASO ES IMPORTANTE YA QUE EL ARCHIVO DE LOTE BUSCA ESPECÍFICAMENTE ESA CARPETA.
  2. Vaya a Steam, opte por no participar en el respaldo de 1.36 y espere a que se complete la descarga.

 

¡Eso es! Ahora todo lo que tienes que hacer es ejecutar el script cuando quieras jugar y escribir la versión que desees.
