How to Check ETS2 Version in Game and Steam

Check your ETS2 version in two places: read the number shown on the startup or profile menu, then confirm the selected Steam branch under Properties > Betas. This prevents you from troubleshooting a mod or multiplayer service against the wrong game build.

For the current public-version context, start with ETS2 Latest Version.

Three-Step Version Check

1. Start ETS2 and write down the complete version number shown on the menu.
2. In Steam, right-click Euro Truck Simulator 2, open Properties, and check Betas.
3. Compare the installed version and branch with the requirement from your mod, ProMods, or TruckersMP.

Where to Check

Use these places:

1. The ETS2 startup or menu version text.
2. Steam properties for the installed branch.
3. The mod author's supported version notes.
4. TruckersMP or ProMods support notes when playing online or using large map mods.

Do not assume the version from a video, old forum post, or search result is still the version you have installed.

What the Version Tells You

The version tells you whether:

• A mod is likely compatible.
• TruckersMP can launch.
• A beta branch is active.
• A saved profile may have been opened in a newer game version.
• You should update, wait, or change branch.

Quick Troubleshooting Matrix

Symptom	Version check to make
TruckersMP will not launch	Compare installed ETS2 version with TruckersMP support
ProMods will not load	Compare ETS2 version, ProMods version, and required DLC
Mods vanished after update	Check whether ETS2 updated beyond the mod's supported version
Save acts strange after testing beta	Check whether the profile was opened in a newer branch

Common Mistakes

• Saying "my game is updated" without checking the exact version.
• Using a mod list built for an older version.
• Forgetting that Steam beta branches can remain selected.
• Loading a main profile before checking mod compatibility.
