    BeamNG has updated numerous times over the months, and there's been no change to gameplay, mechanics, or performance. Any changelog of the game is unupdated.

    What is updating?

    It updated ten minutes ago when I opened the game. I will post a screenshot of it updating the next time it does.

    It automatically "updates" the game, even if there are no real updates.

    TDev, could I put in a feature request? Seeng as the updater's being rewritten, could you make it contact the server and see if there's been a version change first before updating any changed files, unless the user clicks a special "force update" button which would restore the game to full default?

    That literally just means you edited a default game file and the updater has replaced it with an original, I turned off the automatic updating specifically to avoid this.
