About this game
Hard Truck 2: King of the Road is a 2000 open-world trucking game, part of one of the early series that helped shape the genre. Deliver cargo, compete with rival drivers, and build your own transport empire.
Start with almost nothing and work your way up — take contracts, deliver cargo across a network of highways and backroads, and earn enough to build your own trucking company. Your ultimate goal is not just to survive, but to dominate the market.
The world is open and continuous, allowing you to freely travel between cities, explore alternative routes, and discover hidden roads that can give you an edge over competitors.
You are not alone on the road. Rival drivers compete for the same contracts, traffic fills the highways, and both police and bandits add constant tension. Break the rules, and you may face fines or full chases. Take the wrong road, and you might run into something far worse.
Manage your finances, expand your fleet, and hire drivers to grow your business. Success depends not only on driving skill, but also on planning, risk-taking, and knowing when to push forward.
When you're not on the job, race other rig-masters in time trails, obstacle courses, and one-on-one track racing. This is no wimpy race car sim! So, hop into your cab, fire up your engine and put the pedal to the metal! The open road is calling you.
This release preserves the original game in its authentic form for players who appreciate classic driving and simulation games.

New update and plans for the future!
Hello everyone!Support for Hard Truck 2 continues, and we're excited to bring you a new update!This time the cargo is small, but useful nonetheless. We're adding Steam Cloud support so you no longer have to worry about losing your progress when moving between devices. We've also fixed issues in the logic behind several achievements that allowed them to be broken or unlocked in some rather interesting ways.And this is only one stop on our current route. At the same time, we're working on a whole range of features planned for future updates. Because of the game's age, adding anything new has become a non-trivial task that requires a very creative approach. Nevertheless, there's a good chance you can expect the following in upcoming updates:Steam Workshop support.An FPS limiter to prevent the game from breaking under the hood when running on modern graphics cards.A new graphics configuration tool that will run separately from the game.New achievements created from community suggestions and with major help from the modding community. For example, successfully bribing the mafia without any consequences!Steam Community Items! Trading cards, badges, profile backgrounds and emoji. New localizations.Speaking of modders, after the game's Steam release we've been contacted by an incredible number of people who continue to create modifications for the game even after all these years. They share their work, knowledge, and expertise with us, helping us find solutions where conventional methods no longer work.Without their knowledge and support, adding new features to the game would be far more difficult, and some of the things we have planned most likely wouldn't be possible at all. We'd like to use this post as an opportunity to publicly thank everyone who helps us with this work.And this applies to you as well, even if you didn't spend your youth taking the game apart piece by piece and instead simply enjoyed driving around and decided to revisit those memories years later.

Update and the message from Fulqrum
Hi everyone! Today, we are releasing an update to a game made in the year 2000. In it, we fix the first two problems we were able to address - cutscenes and achievements. Both of those should now work properly on any platform, be it your PC or Steam Deck. At the same time, we continue to troubleshoot other bugs that players are encountering right now. We would also like to say a few words about how we ended up in this situation in the first place.The main idea is to preserve and make available an old but still beloved classic in its original form. We certainly expected interest from players, but the response turned out to be far greater than we could have ever anticipated.A huge thank you for that. This result once again shows how important it is to preserve and support classic games even after so many years.That’s why we ask for a little more patience if your particular issue was not resolved in this update. We are doing everything possible to make Hard Truck 2 comfortably playable in 2026.It’s important to understand that the game’s source code was lost over its 26-year history. Not all issues can be fixed on our own. However, the community already has solutions for some of them. Based on our work, we will compile an FAQ and include those solutions that players can use themselves if needed.And once again, a huge thank you to everyone who answered the call of the road and decided to take this nostalgic journey with us. Words cannot describe how wonderful it is to see such love even after so many years. See you around!Read full article on Community Announcements (FQ_MaLal)AnnouncementsOfficial

So don’t miss out on a chance to add this gem of a classic to your collection!Read full article on Community Announcements (FQ_MaLal)
