About Euro Truck Simulator 2: Convoy multiplayer across Europe for up to 8 drivers
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is SCS Software's trucking sim: you haul cargo between European cities, build up your own haulage company, and extend the map with DLC such as Scandinavia, Going East! and Iberia. Its built-in Convoy mode puts up to 8 drivers in one session. Host from your own game and the session closes when you quit. A dedicated server keeps it online 24/7, so friends can join, take a job, and drop out on their own schedule, each driving on their own profile.
The official SCS dedicated server, with your rules
Host Havoc runs the official Euro Truck Simulator 2 dedicated server from SCS Software, not TruckersMP. You choose the lobby name, password, and player cap, and decide whether AI traffic and player damage are on and whether the speed limiter is forced. Moderators, added by Steam64 ID, can change the time of day and the rain with chat commands. DLC map data is included by default, and each driver needs to own a map DLC to drive in that region.
Steam Workshop mods through server packages
Convoy reads its map, DLC and mod setup from server packages files exported from your game's console. Export them with your mods active, upload them over FTP, and joining drivers are shown the required mods and can download Steam Workshop ones through the in-game overlay.
How to Set Up a Euro Truck Simulator 2 Dedicated Server
With Host Havoc
The easy way: with Host Havoc
- Pick a plan and region. 8 slots, the full Convoy limit, in the datacenter closest to your drivers.
- Deploy in minutes. Your server launches on the latest SCS build with DLC map data already included.
- Manage from the panel. Set the lobby name, password, and moderators in a few clicks, then share your Search ID.
DDoS protection, FTP access for your own mod packages, and 24/7 support are included.
Without Host Havoc
The manual way: self-hosting
SCS Software's official Convoy dedicated server is free and runs natively on Windows and Linux. It is light, so 2 CPU cores and 2 GB of RAM cover a full 8-driver session with no GPU, but the machine has to stay on 24/7 with a public IP or forwarded ports.
- Download the server with SteamCMD using the anonymous login and Steam App ID
1948160:steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 1948160 validate +quit - Export server packages from the game. Add
uset g_console "1"toconfig.cfg, load your profile with the DLC and mods you want, open the console and runexport_server_packages. Copyserver_packages.siiandserver_packages.datto the server's home folder. - Edit
server_config.sii. The server writes it on first launch. Setlobby_name,password,max_players(8 at most), andmoderator_list. - Add a logon token. Create one on Steam's game server page with the game's App ID
227300, not the server's, and paste it intoserver_logon_tokenso your Search ID survives restarts. - Forward
27015and27016over TCP and UDP (connection_dedicated_portandquery_dedicated_port) so the session appears in the Convoy browser.
After that it is on you: running SteamCMD again after every SCS patch (the server does not update itself), re-exporting server packages whenever the game or your DLC changes, restarting after crashes, and absorbing DDoS yourself.
