Workaround | Issues with solving spotting tasks (spots)
Some players are still experiencing problems with solving spotting tasks (spots) in Heavy Cargo - The Truck Simulator. These are not activated when the player enters the circle to trigger the task and no hints appear in the top right-hand corner of the screen. We are currently working intensively on a solution to this problem.
If you encounter this problem, please save the game manually and load this savegame immediately. You should now be able to solve the spot.
Open Beta live now!
Hello truckers!
Thank you for all your feedback and suggestions for improvement. The first videos and live streams from the creators have also provided us with a huge amount of data. We have therefore decided to make version 1.0.1 available in advance as an open beta. Version 1.0.1 focusses mainly on fixing various major and minor bugs and adds a first version of a force feedback system for Logitech devices. Please note that this is a pre-release version in which further bugs may have crept in. Please use the feedback button in the in-game menu for your feedback.
Have a safe ride!
