SCS Software has long set the gold standard for post-launch support in the simulation genre. While the world has moved on to newer versions (like 1.40, 1.48, and the current 1.49/1.50 builds), the v.1.35.1.31 update for Euro Truck Simulator 2 remains a cornerstone release for players on older hardware, specific modding communities, or those running legacy map combinations.
| Component | Status for v1.35.1.31 | | :--- | :--- | | | DX9 (Stable) / DX11 (Experimental/Laggy) | | Windows Versions | Windows 7 (Perfect), 8.1, 10 (Fine), 11 (Untested, may glitch) | | Save Games | Save games from v1.36+ cannot be downgraded. You must start a new profile or load a backup. | | Mods | Must be specifically coded for 1.35 . Using 1.40 mods will crash instantly. | | TruckersMP | NOT compatible.

Exercise caution: Only download from reputable sources. SCS Software has long set the gold standard
"My steering wheel (Logitech/Thrustmaster) has no force feedback." Fix: Because this version predates the FFB rewrite of 1.37, you must go into controls.sii and manually set the force_feedback value to 2 . Alternatively, install the legacy 2019 version of your peripheral's software suite. You must start a new profile or load a backup
