Hearts in Bloom Event and ETS2 1.58
The Valentine event looks the same as others events in ETS2 and ATS for years and you are not fan of romantic vibes and pink truck skins it can be skipped. If you are still interesting of new free cabin decorations as reward and pathetic deliveries follow SCS page for details

For the rest truckers (like me) more interesting is the tomorrow ETS2 1.58 release. After about two weeks after a beta start we got the final release with tons of new features, the same as in America. Map of ETS2 not affected drastically as it happened in ATS but we are getting ready for bus implementation and it will be the big present for community.

Standalone maps bug in 1.56 fixed
Following the release of versions 1.56 of ATS and ETS 2 by SCS, a major bug has been identified: when creating a new profile, it was no longer possible to select the map module corresponding to a standalone map. The bug has been fixed in latest release. You have to download update in Steam.
SCS broke standalone maps in 1.56
Following the release of versions 1.56 of ATS and ETS 2 by SCS, a major bug has been identified: when creating a new profile, it is no longer possible to select the map module corresponding to a standalone map.
This makes it completely impossible to start a new game on certain standalone maps.

Affected only new profile creation, so if someone have already been created profile on standalone module it will work so it can be only replaced old version of mod with the new one in the mod manager.
We still do not know if it is just bug or the feature has been removed from the game and all standalone maps (count of which not very big) are become inacceptable for new players. The issue is already reported top SCS and there are topics on SCS Software forum.
