If the server is using a modification that is NOT available on the Steam Workshop and downloaded via a third-party site, then you will need to source the modification yourself. This window will show you all your currently active modifications on the left side and all the modifications the server is using on the right side.

This will be accessible via a new window that opens when you try to join a session where you have some missing MODs. If a modification is missing and it is available via the Steam Workshop, you will be able to download it via the Steam browser which will be overlaid in-game, so you do not need to exit the game to subscribe to it. We have now introduced an orange icon, which indicates you cannot join the server now, but via the new MOD synchronization UI, you can download the missing modifications and join then! Previously, next to the server session, we indicated if you could or could not join the server using a red or green icon depending on if the session was full or due to problems with map compatibility or even with different game version numbers. Session names in screenshots are blurred for privacy reasons. We have also included new icons for servers to let you know which servers have MODs enabled and which do not. When you enter the session browser, you will see a new section on the right side listing the MOD compatibility requirements for the server. We have also created a completely new UI to accommodate MOD support. We have done our best to overcome these hurdles however, there may be a few things that might need tweaking and changing before we are fully satisfied with the results.


However, this was not an easy task for our team, especially when it came to the challenge of profile recovery when a crucial MOD is removed or changed, and visualizing what MODs are missing from the Steam Workshop when players join a server that contains modifications. Since then, our teams have made it a high priority on their list to support the use of MODs. Support for third-party modifications in Convoy was a very frequent request from our community when we first released our multiplayer mode. So without further ado, let's take a look at what the 1.42 update has in store! We'd like to thank all those who took part in the 1.42 Open Beta, made bug reports, and provided general feedback on this new version. Whilst our updates usually feature many new changes, this update is focused more on introducing a new and substantial feature to our Convoy online multiplayer mode alongside some smaller updates and general fixes. We are excited to announce the arrival of update 1.42 for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator!
