The latest over the hill update is v26.10.19_b8daf8d, posted on 19 October 2026. It is the cosmetic pass on top of 26.10.19_61ec20e, which landed the same day and covers localization, livery mods, winch anchors, the merchant odometer, and the clock gap between players. Steam launch was 14 October 2026.

Invisible ground on some older GPUs, including Nvidia GTX cards, was closed on 16 October 2026. The old -msTessOnce 0 launch option is retired by that build. Search the table for a system, or filter to the current build.
