Thanks a lot for the answers. I was quite confused about how it used to work earlier.

Note: Please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject. I am just curious. So far, has crossing the English Channel using ferries or the Tunnel train been restricted to EU citizens (or generally people who can travel visa-free between the Schengen Area and the UK)? Because if so, how has that rest...

These files are for ETS2 Promods, not ATS. For some reason the wrong files have been downloaded.

I've got to say, I am absolutely baffled to see the way users are complaining about this thing here. It's absolutely ridiculous. The ProMods team does a great job, and I can't for the life of me think why anyone would complain about the free download system.

Ah ok, thanks for the answer, I don't know why I felt I read earlier that this will be an add-on as well

Looking at the blog post that was posted today, it seems like this will actually be a part of the main Promods map as opposed to being a separate add-on, is that the correct conclusion?

It seems strange to me that sometimes there is an increase in server load, given that the new version has not been released. What do people rock so hard? Yeah, I find that strange too. However, whenever the new version is released, the load goes above 100%, and in parentheses it says "You came...

Huh, I could have sworn I haven't ever seen that. I guess I was wrong, my apologies.

I am not a long time user of Promods (started using it in Jan 2018), but I cannot recall a single instance of them listing the new version on the compatibility page with "Soon" before it is actually released. AFAIK it was always released without any such listings.

Not when the DLC itself is called "Road to the Black Sea", whereas the Baltic DLC is called "Beyond the Baltic Sea". BTBS and RTTBS are quite standard in ETS2 circles
