0.8.0.1 Discussion/Feedback/Bugs-Reporting Thread - READ #1 POST!

Use SAFE MODE and CLEAR CACHE before reporting!​

We always try to keep a retro-compatibility with older mods, but as we change things, sometimes this isn't possible.

To avoid false bug-reports, please check if the issue persists with mods disabled (Safe Mode)
If the issue persists, also try to clean your cache (Clean Cache)
If your still persists, check the official bug-list below, and see if your issue is already in our list.
If it isn't in the list, only then you can and should report an issue.

That will help us a lot focusing on actual, real issues, instead of going after problems caused by mods.

Thanks in advance!

Spoiler: How to clear cache

Launch the game and select 'Clear Cache' from the launcher.
It will clear some of the folders in 'Documents/BeamNG.Drive' to 'Documents/BeamNG.Drive/backup'

Spoiler: How to run in Safe Mode

Launch the game and select 'Safe Mode' from the launcher.
It will disable all your mods. Use it before reporting a bug, just incase your issue is caused from a mod and it's not an actual bug!

Spoiler: How to clean reinstall

-Unistall BeamNG from Steam
-Delete BeamNG.Drive folder from MyDocuments (backup your mods if you want, but don't put them back yet!)
-Delete BeamnG.Drive folder from Steam/Steamapp/common (If there is still a folder)
-Reinstall BeamNG.

 

You sure?
That should happen only the first time you load a map? (as the game creates the cache of that map)
Loading times should be shorter than before.
The improved loading status should tell what it is doing.
If you see 'XML Parsing/Importing' and etc, it's definitively creating the cache.

 

Steam has a chance of breaking some files when updating/downloading a game unfortunately.
Here's how you can do a clean reinstall of the game:
-Unistall BeamNG from Steam
-Delete BeamNG.Drive folder from MyDocuments (backup your mods if you want, but don't put them back yet!)
-Delete BeamnG.Drive folder from Steam/Steamapp/common (If there is still a folder)
-Reinstall BeamNG.

 

Options > Gameplay
(It's also written in the changelog)

 

Works fine here.
Make sure you don't have custom configuration and alike.
Clean reinstall eventually.
