It is important to address the legal status of downloading "highly compressed" repacks. The only fully legal ways to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 are by purchasing a Steam key, buying the game from the official website, or downloading the official free trial version. Repacks downloaded from forums or other unofficial sources are typically cracked copies, meaning they bypass the game's DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection. While these versions are widely available, they are not legal.

To fully appreciate the new lighting system in version 1.40, a discrete graphics card is highly recommended. Integrated graphics solutions like the Intel HD 630 will run the game, but you may need to lower the graphics settings to achieve smooth performance.

Ensure you have the latest version of WinRAR or 7-Zip installed to handle the file extraction properly.

Ensure your graphics card drivers are updated to a version that supports the 1.40 HDR rendering pipeline.

To support the developers at SCS Software and ensure you receive automatic updates, official bug fixes, and secure multiplayer access via TruckersMP, it is highly recommended to purchase the official version of Euro Truck Simulator 2 through Steam. If you are setting up your game, let me know:

One of the best aspects of Euro Truck Simulator 2 is its vibrant community. Version 1.40 has specific implications for multiplayer gameplay. The most popular multiplayer mod, TruckersMP, is often updated to support the latest version of ETS2. While they usually maintain support for a few previous versions for a period, using version 1.40 with a multiplayer mod may not be possible if the mod has moved on to newer game versions. If multiplayer is a priority, you will need to check the specific mod's version compatibility. However, the official "Convoy" multiplayer mode, introduced in a later update, allows for private sessions with friends.

This release is described as a "免安装简体中文绿色版", which translates to "Simplified Chinese Green Edition, No Installation Required". Like the 3DMGame release, this version is "解压缩即玩", meaning "unzip and play". The Ali213 repack uses the same general installation process: download, extract with WinRAR, and then launch the game executable.
