    DISABLE MODS before reporting!
    Please disable all mods and check again before reporting issues.
    That will help us a lot focusing on actual, real issues, instead of going after problems caused by mods.
    Thanks in advance!




    We would love to hear your feedback on the newest update! :)
    Please also keep the non-contributing discussions to the bare minimum, so that we can help users in need more effectively.

    0.16.0.3 changelog here: https://blog.beamng.com/second-hotfix-for-0-16/
    0.16.0.2 changelog here: https://blog.beamng.com/first-hotfix-for-0-16-released/
    0.16.0.0 changelog here: https://blog.beamng.com/electrifying-0-16/

    Notes:

    • Issues with UI / Black Screen / UI Lag | Please check the first notice in the 0.16.0.2 changelog (click).

      1. You can toggle the experimental 'Hardware Acceleration for UI' in Options > Graphics.
      Disabled = Slower but more stable UI.
      Enabled = Faster, but chance of issues on certain setups and some bugs. Experimental!
      Requires a game restart to apply.

      2. If you are on Windows 10, and are having performance issues with the UI, make sure 'Game Mode' is disabled, as it can cause performance issues due to how it handles the game's processes.

    • Fatal Vehicle Exceptions / Vehicles not loading / Floating camera| These are very commonly cause by broken/outdated mods see below for a list). If disabling mods does not help, do a clean reinstall (see below)

    Known Issues & Status:
    Blue = Important Green = Fixed Orange = Known issue Red = Under investigation
    GPU-UI = Options > Graphics > 'Enable Hardware Acceleration for User Interface'



    • Crash if loading a level for the first time (not cached) with Lowest Graphics settings | Fixed for next update. Should only occur the first time.
    • Removing a mod from the mod-manager does nothing | Fixed for next update. You can do that by selecting the mod first, and clicking the 'Unsubscribe' button in its page meanwhile.
    • Main Menu videos decoding issues with GPU-UI | Known issue
    • Animated textures not working | Known issue
    • Navigation app flickers randomly with GPU-UI | Known issue
    • High memory usage on certain/specific instances | Under work
    • Skins causes artifacts @ lowest settings on old iGPUs | Under investigation
    • Black graphical artifacts streaking across maps | Not a game bug, only affects AMD GPUs with June '18 or so drivers. See solutions below.
      (Solution #1) - We have been receiving reports from a user that this may have been fixed in the latest 19.4.2 drivers. Please update your drivers, and press the 'CLEAR CACHE' button in the launcher to force the shaders to be regenerated. Let us know if this helped you!
      (Solution #2) - Please report that to the AMD forum/support. Temporary workaround is to use older (or Optional) drivers or disable grass (Options > Graphics > 'Custom' quality > Grass Density to zero)
    Mods related issues:
    • Better Sounds Mod could break the game. | Remove and Clean Reinstall the game. Then wait for compatible version.
    • Parking Lights mod breaks the game | Remove/Disable and wait for compatible version.
    • Any mod that modifies game's core files could potentially break the game | Remove these mods and wait for compatible versions.
    To report broken mods, use this thread or contact the author's of the mod directly.



    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'

    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!


    -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.

    I'm away from pc now and can't play the game but I have one question. I remember Ibishu Condensa mod where the fact both axles weren't connected was emulated by an open center diff which isn't true to reality but the closest we could get. With the new eSBR having the same layout but having the dev team doing it does that mean the car has legitimate two power sources, back-end wise? Like two engines showing up on the drivetrain ui app? Because if so then it's something I have never seen before and therefore somewhat groundbreaking.

    I like the new eSBR4, I did start thinking though, will the electric powertrain that has been implemented into the eSBR4 set up a foundation for future vehicles with electric powertrains, or is this a one off thing?

    Glow of foglight in wrong position on eSBR
    screenshot_2019-05-03_17-25-53.jpg
    Probably not a bug, but the DRL of the new eSBR does not turn off when using the indicator, like on real cars

    it should be: amber - off - amber - off
    it is now :amber- DRL - amber - DRL

    I see it that there will most likely be either, more electric vehicles conversions(etk800, k series) or, entirely new electric vehicles, both of which pwould be super cool.
    --- Post updated ---
    Many electric engines can still work under water. Rc cars can still drive fully submerged

    Well, I guess it depends on motor too, I know that my rc crawler works submerged, but it’s got a brushed motor, idk what electric car motors are.

    The UI (Main menu, apps, everything) now flickers like crazy with multi-GPU enabled (HD 6990, Catalyst 15.7.1)

    Did you try clearing cache, and then disabling mods?

    Are you referring to crossfire?
    The UI now runs on the GPU.
    That may not be supported rn.
