Version 1.45 was a significant incremental update for Euro Truck Simulator 2. It focused heavily on environmental realism, lighting engine improvements, and the introduction of new cab accessories. It also marked the continued integration of the "Heart of Russia" map expansion (though the DLC release status was impacted by geopolitical events, the base game update proceeded).
Following the partial rework in 1.44, version 1.45 completed the transformation of Austria. Cities like Salzburg, Linz, and Vienna received:
A. Lighting System Visual Overhaul
B. Rhode Island Expansion (Connecticut Rework)
C. Cabin Accessories
D. Modding Tools: Convoy Support
E. Mercedes-Benz Actant Facelift

Version 1.45 uses a specific game save structure. Loading a 1.45 save in a newer game version will convert it forward (irreversible). Conversely, loading a newer save in 1.45 will crash the game.

Many popular mods (map mods like ProMods, truck mods, sound packs) target specific game versions. Always check that the mod version explicitly says “1.45 compatible.” ProMods 2.62, for example, was the last to support ETS2 1.45.
