La notizia sarebbe del 12 giugno, ma non l’avevo proprio vista. E’ uscita la patch per Euro Truck Simulator (simulatore di camion) che lo porta alla versione 1.3, e che sostanzialmente non apporta novità ma corregge solo alcuni bugs. Potete scaricare il pacchetto di aggiornamento da questo link.

Dopo svariati mesi di silenzio, riprende il lavoro di sviluppo della prossima patch per Live for Speed. Ancora non è disponibile la Volkswagen Scirocco (dove nei mesi scorsi si è pure dubitato che venisse mai rilasciata). Nel dettaglio le modifiche sono queste:

New message from host replaces "Did not receive guest info"
Progress indicator for skin downloads while joining a host
Improved order of sort by version number in List of Hosts
Unlock screen clear button to remove name and password
Direction to turn is shown when leaving pit garage
Blue and yellow flags removed from cruise mode
