This is now available on Steam. Existing keys are supposed to work regardless of where you bought it from although mine isn't recognised yet.

Nope mine doesnt work either, invalid code is all i get, bought it from scs.

Edit - Mine works now.

Just redeemed my retail box code all hunky dory

Seriously hope they add Steam Workshop for this little number

Tempted to get this due to my friend having his lorry modeled into the game by "truck spotters" hah.

MagicBoy · 17 Jan 2013 at 10:04

Link?

Hmm cant find the picture it was tagged in on his Facebook, maybe some hardcore truck fans can find it. It was the first Scania R730 in the country.

My key has worked fine in Steam. Purchased from a 3rd party website but showing as retail.

Wow surprised at how good this sounds. All i recall is Charlie Brooker's review of the first one, something about truck drivers killing hookers! Must keep an eye out for this one.

Tried the demo on steam and im just so bad at reversing lol. They should get some google map layout conversion going cities seem too simple.

FlamBango · 18 Jan 2013 at 14:13

well this has taken over from Tain Simulator as my preferred method of chilling out :nerd:

Its just a shame they didnt map the roads really accuately or at least just the cities, it would have been mental to have proper road maps although the drives would be in real time then i guess and then it would be a little dull!

I can actualy reverse into a parking bay in under 20 minutes now

smogsy · 18 Jan 2013 at 15:31

trying out the demo right now

Finally on steam had to go for it at £11.99 who can say no

any mods for adjusting FOV which dont require stephen hawking to help you do it

Only complaint i have with the game is that the camera feels very zoomed in.

Murray · 19 Jan 2013 at 03:37

How did you get it for £11.99?

Reedy · 19 Jan 2013 at 03:50

I got it for £14.47 originally from Amazon. They're still listing it for £14.99, just not apparently instock

Steam activated on steam first time.

Having European style on/off ramps on the motorway in the UK annoys me...

Forgot about the fact there is Eurotunnel in it. Need to go and see that..

Seems there's a load of mods about for it too.. Including some better maps potentially...

Quite an addictive game.

Just a couple of questions if I may:

What mods do you recommend and where can I download them?

I was going too fast round a corner and my truck toppled. How do I get it back on its wheels?

Thanks.

There was "SOS emergency service" in the first one.. Presumably this has something similar?

This was the best selling game on steam for a while

It's still 2nd
