To ensure a safe and stable installation, always use official sources. Modern versions of ETS2 update automatically, but legacy users or those needing specific files can find them here: Steam (Recommended)
SCS Software provides official patches and a free demo. While the demo is limited to one region and level cap, it’s the only legitimate standalone download for v1.40.
