Quick answer

If TruckersMP says ETS2 has an unsupported game version, check the official TruckersMP download or knowledge base page first, then match your Steam branch to the supported version. Back up your profile before changing versions and avoid using a main modded save for TruckersMP testing.

TruckersMP is separate from ETS2's official Convoy mode. When SCS updates ETS2, TruckersMP may need time to support the new version. That is why unsupported version errors are common around updates.

Match TruckersMP's supported version, not a random video guide's version.

First Check The Official Version

Use official TruckersMP sources:

  1. TruckersMP download page
  2. TruckersMP unsupported version guide

Do this before changing Steam branches. The supported version can change.

Safe Version Fix

  1. Close ETS2 and TruckersMP.
  2. Back up your ETS2 profile.
  3. Check TruckersMP's supported version.
  4. In Steam, select the correct branch if required.
  5. Let Steam finish updating.
  6. Launch TruckersMP again.

If you already have the right version, follow TruckersMP's own troubleshooting steps instead of repeatedly switching branches.

Protect Your Profile

TruckersMP can affect time, economy, job markets, and profile state. Use a separate profile or at least a fresh backup before testing.

Do Not Use Beta Branches Blindly

SCS may have public releases and experimental beta versions at the same time. As of July 1, 2026, ETS2Hub tracks 1.60 as the public release context and 1.61 as experimental beta context. TruckersMP support can differ, so always check TruckersMP itself.
