Euro Truck Simulator 2 Update 1.35 To 1.36 ((link)) Download -

Version 1.36 acted as a stabilizer for the DirectX 11 implementation introduced in prior updates. The update optimized memory management, allowing for higher texture resolution without crashing the 32-bit memory limit (though the game had fully transitioned to 64-bit by this era, memory leaks remained a concern). The update also introduced preliminary code for the "Lighting System" overhaul that would later define version 1.40, changing how light sources interacted with environment textures.
