Truck Driver: The American Dream changes
Truckers, a new update has arrived!
Patch #4, [Version 1.0.0.0] brings improvements across AI traffic, truck handling, audio, visuals, and overall gameplay, along with new language support and more than 50 bug fixes.
Updates & Additions
All vehicles will now slow down when you overtake them. In previous versions, there were cases where the vehicle being overtaken would actually accelerate instead.
Further improvements to how AI traffic behaves at intersections. We are continuing to fine-tune this system.
- Audio updatesThe in-cabin truck audio profile has been reworked to better simulate how sounds are heard inside a real truck cabin. Plus, while the source engine sounds remain the same, they have been retuned with updated pitch, low-pass filtering, volume, and frequency adjustments to deliver a deeper and more powerful engine sound.
The default volume for both Engine and Voice Over audio is now set to 50. We recommend trying the game with the default audio settings before making adjustments.
Further updates to truck handling and driving behavior, including steering, hill climbing (with and without trailers), acceleration, and more.
Added over 150 artificial light sources (various types of lamps and lights) throughout the game world.
Improved draw distance when using the High and Epic graphics presets. This applies to both distant landscape mountains and smaller environmental assets such as benches, poles, chairs, and more.
Added Thai and Turkish language support.
AI traffic will now always use headlights during the evening, as well as during rain, snow, and fog.
Construction cranes are now animated only during daytime working hours.
Bug Fixes
Over 50 bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements across localization, navigation, audio, visuals, controls, and more.
Thank you for your continued support, and keep on trucking!
