📱 TBX Phone V0.13.17 | Major Bug Fixes, New Translations & Improvements! 🔧 (Patreon)

Hello everyone! ❤️

The first major update for TBX Phone is here!

Since the initial release, I've received quite a few bug reports and suggestions from the community. I've been working on fixing those issues and improving the overall experience.

TBX Phone V0.13.17 focuses on stability, compatibility, translations and making the application easier to use.

A huge thank you to everyone who reported problems and helped me identify them!

🌍 NEW & IMPROVED TRANSLATIONS

One of the biggest improvements in this update is the language system.

I've completely reworked the phone translations in 9 languages, replacing the awkward machine-translated text with much more natural wording.

Updated languages:
Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Czech and Ukrainian. and soon chinese!

Several interface elements that previously appeared only in English are now translated too, including:

• TBX Bank tabs and navigation.

• Phone position and screen placement settings.

• Microphone instructions and hints.

✨ NEW FEATURES

❤️ Access Activation Animation

A new thank-you animation appears when your TSC PRO membership or Lifetime Access is successfully activated.

🗑️ Easy Uninstallation

You can now uninstall TBX Phone directly from its system tray menu or through Windows Settings.

You'll also have the option to keep your conversations when uninstalling.

📋 ETS2 Crash Reports

If ETS2 crashes, you can now generate a support report using the new "ETS2 Crash Report" option in the TBX Phone tray menu.

The report is saved to your desktop, making it easier to send me the information needed to investigate the issue.

🔧 IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts Fixed

One of the most commonly reported problems has finally been addressed!

Ctrl + Shift + P, K and M should now work correctly while driving in ETS2.

I've also fixed the issue where using these shortcuts could accidentally activate your truck's lights or high beams.

The screen flickering caused by these shortcuts has also been resolved.

🔌 ETS2 Plugin Connection Fixes

Fixed the "ETS2 plugin is not loaded" issue affecting some players with special characters in their Patreon display names.

I've also improved compatibility with other mods that use their own dinput8.dll files.

🛡️ New Safe Mode

TBX Phone now includes additional protection against plugin-related ETS2 crashes.

If ETS2 crashes while the plugin is initializing, the next launch will automatically use a safer startup mode to help prevent the same crash from happening again.

💬 Better Error Messages

I've improved several connection and troubleshooting messages.

For example, if you try connecting TBX Phone while ETS2 is already running, you'll now receive a clearer message asking you to close the game first.

You'll also get more specific information if the ETS2 plugin fails to load.

📥 HOW TO UPDATE

Updating is simple!

1. Download the new TBX Phone V0.13.17 installer.

2. Run the installer and complete the installation.

3. Launch TBX Phone as usual.

You do NOT need to uninstall the previous version!

Your existing conversations, contacts, settings and Patreon access will remain intact.
