What Have You Been Playing... IN APRIL 2026?

Nothing new, though I've now 200% cloverpit, making it one of the 5
games I've actually completed 100% on (the dlc is counted as an extra
100%)

Argh. I hate when DLC comes out and all your hard work at 100%ing a
game is ruined.

(I've been struggling to 100% the map in American Truck Simulator for
/years/ ;-)

So wait until you've 100%ed before adding the next DLC. Then you can
100% that, add another DLC, rinse, repeat, etc.

How long would it take to 100% a dlc tho? I imagine ATS would have a lot
of content to complete and waiting a few years between DLCS would be
boring

It takes about a month, actually. When a new expansion comes out, I
spend the next few weeks driving down every new road and avenue trying
to get that percentage back to 100%. Which is how I'll be spending the
latter half of May 2026, as you'll find out on June 1st. ;-)

(To be honest, 100% the map is currently impossible. Various bugs mean
that you can't actually drive down every road without using console
commands because there are either a) impromperly placed invisible
walls, or b) the game doesn't allways recognize that you've driven on
a road. The buggy bits are tiny -- you can get to like 99.8%-- but
actually marking the entire map explored isn't actually possible at
the moment. But I try to get as close to 100% as I can).
