Major Update: New Recording Engine Now Deploying!
We’re thrilled to announce the rollout of Version 3.3.1 out of beta, featuring a brand-new Recording Engine! This major update shifts from using FFMpeg directly to a lightweight OBS instance, unlocking new possibilities, better integration with audio devices, improved quality, and enhanced performance.
Key Features of the New Recording Engine
No More VB-Cable: Audio devices are now listed and captured directly, simplifying the setup process.
Top-Notch Performance: Record at up to 60fps without desync or in-game FPS drops.
Optimized Resource Usage: Reduced memory and CPU consumption for a smoother experience.
Improvements and Changes
Game Info Visual Mode: A sleek overlay effect now displays cruise control speed over the Cruise Control icon, inspired by community feedback on Discord.
Testing Made Easy: Added test buttons to preview Alert and TruckersMP information window positioning.
Bugfixes
Overlay Flickering Resolved: Fixed issues caused by specific game settings and OpenGL usage.
Window Positioning: Corrected Alert and TruckersMP information window placement based on user settings.
Recording Logic: Recording no longer starts if the recording type is set to “none” or “external” while the built-in recording setting is enabled.
Localization: Added missing translations for a more complete experience.
Removed Obsolete Feature: The “Open Dispatcher on Quicksave” feature has been removed due to compatibility issues with game version 1.55.

Hardcore Simulation Rule Changes
To maintain the integrity of Hardcore jobs, we’re introducing new rules effective immediately:
Jobs on the same route (e.g., Rome ➜ Milan or Milan ➜ Rome) within 48 hours will no longer count as Hardcore jobs.
This change addresses the growing trend of repetitive routes, which has been impacting the Distance Leaderboard. Repeated routes should stay within that leaderboard and not dominate Hardcore challenges.
Incorrect Use of Tickets – Third Warning
We’re issuing our third warning regarding the misuse of tickets. Despite repeated reminders, 75% of tickets opened are for questions, doubts, or curiosities rather than genuine support issues.
Please use the general channel for these inquiries—our team and community members are ready to assist you there. If this trend continues, we may restrict ticket creation to the support team when deemed necessary.
Well-Deserved Vacations
As summer hits its peak, our team is taking some much-needed time for sea, travel, and family. Throughout August, we’ll be operating at half capacity (or less), so please expect longer response times during this period. We appreciate your patience and understanding!
Feel free to join our Discord community server with any questions or feedback! You can also stay updated by following our social media channels: Facebook, X and Bluesky.
Happy recording,
The TruckyApp Team
