Update 1.36 was a foundational performance and graphics upgrade for ETS2, sacrificing backward compatibility (DX9) for modern rendering. It prepared the engine for future lighting overhauls (1.40 in 2021) and map DLCs. No 1.35→1.36 patch occurred in 2021 – by then, the game was on version 1.41.
If you need a report on the actual 2021 updates (1.40 or 1.41) , let me know.
While the transition from version 1.35 to 1.36 originally occurred in late 2019, players in 2021 often sought this specific update to resolve compatibility issues with legacy mods or for systems that could no longer support newer iterations of the game.
