Controls, manual camera, mission replay and remapping

Hold the right mouse button and drag to rotate the driving camera. GPS now guides side missions. Time and distance are truncated before medal comparisons: the developer’s example says 1:10.99 qualifies for a 1:10 target.

Steam Patch 1.0.8 makes the navigation arrow look farther ahead and lets the truck stray farther from the suggested route before redrawing it. It also improves camera behavior in Western Meadows. The announcement supplies no exact detour distance or new camera input; compare the current route display with the older instructions below.

Patch 1.0.7 splits the Journal into three mission lists and shows medals gray until earned. In 1.0.6 the missing-recommended-skill warning was extended to 16 more missions for Boost, Winch, Sticky Cargo, Ram, Snorkel and the modified Horn. DualShock 4 via Steam Input now shows PlayStation glyphs according to that note; Kingy has not tested the connection.

The earlier teaser is superseded by Patch 1.1.0. Explore the Valley is now playable after finishing the story: return before the disaster, finish side jobs and replay any mission from the Journal using a separate peak save. Kingy has not tested save separation.

Use Settings to toggle the new direction arrows; they show where the wheels will carry the truck, including in reverse. New Story Mode games enable the overlay automatically. The same note adds camera/GPS tutorials, fixes PlayStation controller tutorial icons, adds a numpad icon and displays the game version in Settings. These are publisher-described controls, not a tested device layout.

The October 10 patch says the bindings file appears after the first run at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\MythicOwl\Truckful\keyboard.txt. That is the published Windows path. The note does not specify the file format, supported key names or macOS/Linux paths; Kingy has not tested editing it. Keep a copy before making changes.

The patch also removes unused button assignments in Packing View and removes Continue after completing the game. Controller schemes, individual device glyphs and steering-wheel compatibility are not established by these changes.

In 1.0.4, the Journal cheat is opened by tapping or clicking the right-page pin ten times, less than 0.8 seconds apart. The choices are $100, Scrap x100 and Nothing. Scrap x100 replaces the former Go to Theresa teleport; the older teleport menu instructions no longer establish a current recovery method. Kingy has not tested the menu or its effects on saves, objectives or achievements.

Use an untouched save backup before testing recovery. The announcement gives no achievement policy, objective/cargo preservation guarantee or proof of recovery on every already-stuck save. Kingy has not filmed or tested those outcomes.

Truckful’s full game launched October 9 on Steam and Google Play. This page covers current Steam control notes alongside historical demo updates. The Steam storefront and API provided no demo download or demo entry when checked October 9; access for previous owners remains unconfirmed.

The notes change the speedometer, skill icons, dialogue presentation and controls shown around cargo. Dialogue can be sped up or skipped, the font is revised, and a mute option is added for dialogue phonemes. These are documented options; we have not benchmarked their accessibility in play.

MythicOwl’s October 10 Steam Patch 1.0.1 explicitly adds PlayStation controller support. Its notes fix double input that limited cargo rotation and skill installation and enable mouse control in the main menu; the cursor hides after a few seconds of inactivity. Device-specific connections and button glyphs have not been tested by Kingy.

Patch 1.0.2 supersedes the earlier keyboard-rebinding plan with a file-based remapping solution. Patch 1.0.4 now lists the right stick/R3 camera controls and Y story-replay input; those specific publisher controls are not a complete tested device layout. The September demo glyph report and Steam Input suggestion remain historical; current glyphs and wheel compatibility have not yet been tested.

Kingy has not verified this setup. These checks help distinguish missing input, unwanted bindings and mismatched symbols; they are not a demonstrated repair.

1. Read your current packing and driving prompts. Check whether the controller performs the action despite a different button symbol.
2. If testing a Steam Input layout, record the original configuration and compare one changed action at a time. Check the action and the displayed symbol separately, then restore the original layout if the change does not help.

See the linked release guide’s steering-wheel answer before choosing hardware. Kingy has no tested wheel, pedal or force-feedback setup.

The update adds a shrine save point and a map to track objectives and exploration. It also fixes reported save, freezing and stuck-state issues. That does not verify save transfer between demo versions or from the demo into the full game.

The developer reports improved high-speed cargo behaviour, collisions and Linux/Steam Deck performance. A patch claim is not a measured frame-rate preset. When comparing an older guide, first establish which demo build it covers.

In its September 22 FAQ, MythicOwl says a Ghost Truck hit in recent updates no longer immediately restarts the level and that players can pick up cargo lost while escaping. If you remain in control after a hit, check the cargo counter and nearby dropped items before choosing a restart. Recover the missing cargo only where your current demo allows it, then confirm the count before continuing the delivery.

This is a developer-reported change, not a Kingy collision test. The FAQ does not identify a build number, a pickup input, whether every collision is survivable, or whether cargo always remains reachable. Older recorded demo footage may behave differently; the October 9 retail build has not been tested.

The developer reported a hotel progression fix on August 21 after identifying the missed garage visit. A separate inability to exit the garage was acknowledged on August 31; the October 9 thread recheck still found no later fix confirmation. See the hotel and garage guide for the prerequisite and the distinction between these reports.

Patch 1.0.4 adds manual driving camera control with the gamepad right stick, or keyboard Numpad 4/6 for left/right and Numpad 8/2 for up/down. Upward movement reaches 15 degrees; the camera cannot move below the default view. R3 or Numpad 5 resets to automatic. Turning the truck around or returning to the main menu also resets it; fixed-camera areas temporarily pause your setting and restore it when you leave. An icon beside the speedometer identifies the mode. Kingy has not tested the controls.

Open Journal → Missions and choose the most recently completed story mission. The developer lists Y on gamepad, R on keyboard or the Replay button, then confirmation. Replay starts that mission again and cancels an active delivery; it is unavailable during a mission that cannot be interrupted. Save/reload, cargo, achievement and progress consequences have not been tested by Kingy.
