When a new game version becomes stable, Deep Light for the previous version becomes free. 1.61 is the first version: it becomes free when 1.62 is stable.

Sharp image, more FPS

DLSS and DLAA on NVIDIA RTX, FSR on AMD, Intel and older NVIDIA cards. Neither ETS2 nor ATS has an upscaler of its own; Deep Light adds one.

Frame generation up to 6×

DLSS multi frame generation on RTX 50 (up to 6×) and RTX 40 (2×), FSR frame generation (2×) on any DirectX 12 GPU. Motion vectors come from the game, so traffic stays clean.

Lighting for both games

Deep ambient occlusion, cabin lighting and tonemapping, tuned per game version. Same engine, same features in ETS2 and ATS. Works with ProMods and your map mods.

Free on Steam Workshop

What changed

Changelog

Deep Light 0.4

Clearer feedback, safer logs

  • The overlay warns when the game’s Scaling is above 100%, which leaves the upscaler with nothing to do.
  • Deep Light keeps the log of the previous session, so a crash can be traced after the game restarts.
Deep Light 0.3

FSR frame generation on any DX12 GPU

  • FSR frame generation runs on AMD, Intel and NVIDIA. First test on a Radeon RX 6800 passed.
  • Fixed smearing at the cabin edges when looking around.
Graphics

Vegetation Autumn and World & Buildings HD

  • Vegetation Autumn: golden trees and dry grass for DBM Vegetation.
  • World & Buildings HD: sharper buildings and roadside props.
Keep it running

For supporters

Download Deep Light 0.4.0

Download DeepLight-0.4.0.zip

  1. Close the game, extract the zip, and run Install.bat. It downloads ReShade and AMD FidelityFX, switches the game to Direct3D 12 and backs up the files it replaces.
  2. Start the game and press Home to open the ReShade overlay > Add-ons > DBM Deep Light, paste the licence key from your Lemon Squeezy email and click Activate.
  3. Restart the game. The overlay shows who the licence belongs to and until when it is paid.

Questions

FAQ

How do I install Deep Light?

Download the ZIP, close the game and run Install.bat. Start ETS2 and press Home to open the ReShade overlay, then go to Add-ons > DBM Deep Light. Uninstall.bat puts everything back as it was.

What happens if I stop supporting?

Yearly supporters keep what they paid for: Deep Light keeps working on every game version released during their year. Monthly supporters who cancel can still use Deep Light on the free game versions. When a new game version becomes stable, Deep Light for the previous version becomes free. 1.61 is the first version: it becomes free when 1.62 is stable. Either way, newer game versions and early access to new mods come back when you join again.

Does it need an internet connection?

No always-online. You activate Deep Light once by pasting your licence key into the ReShade overlay > Add-ons > DBM Deep Light. While you are subscribed it works offline for up to 30 days, plus 3 days of grace, and renews its licence in the background, checking in about once a week when you are online. Your licence is active on one PC at a time, and you can move it to another PC once every 30 days. After an unrefunded yearly period ends, the game versions released up to that date stay licensed for good (keep) and work offline. While online, they check in about once a month, so a licence moved to another PC stops on the old one.

How fast does Deep Light support a new beta or update?

Usually within days, often on the first day. DBM is one person, though, so illness, family matters or other emergencies can delay it. Any delay is announced in News. Your licence and the builds you already have keep working while you wait.

What if DBM stops making Deep Light?

Then the last build is released free for everyone, without any licence check, so nobody loses what they paid for. This promise is part of the terms of use.

Will it work with my GPU?

DLSS and DLSS frame generation need an NVIDIA RTX card. FSR and FSR frame generation work on any DirectX 12 GPU from AMD, Intel or NVIDIA.

Why a subscription?

SCS releases a new game version every few months, plus open betas and hotfixes. Each one needs Deep Light to be updated. The subscription pays for that ongoing work.
