Mod Editors
We also updated the mod editors for missions and vehicles. You can find them in the corresponding discussions in steam.

Note (XBox One Controller / Windows 10)
There are issues with the XBox One Controller on Windows 10, which unfortunately can’t be fixed without causing problems on Windows 8 and previous versions. We have uploaded a special version for Windows 10 for players experiencing these control issues. (The version is identical otherwise)

To download this version:

Right-Click Construction Simulator in your Steam Library -> Properties -> Betas -> Select "windows10"

After a short update, the version should be adjusted. (May requires a steam restart to trigger the download)


Important Note: Only players with the same version see each other in multiplayer. So make sure you are up to date.
