Does anyone have the older versions of Beam? The oldest i can find is the 0.1 version that got leaked or something. Does aynone have them? Does the devs have them, and if they do why dont realize them? Or is it lost media?
The cryengine versions were never released. Even 0.1 was never meant to be released, it was accidentally uploaded when the forums went live, and a handful of people downloaded it, and the first of copy of 0.1 was only leaked in January of 2023. It's possible that the devs still have early prototype copies of the game somewhere, but I vaguely recall that they suffered a server failure at one point, so it's quite likely all copies are gone.
People are so naive lol, they still believe that 0.1 is a real version when it's an edited 0.3 --- Post updated --- Also they don't keep old version because it's useless. The only official versions we have on Steam are 0.4.0.6, 0.14.0.4, and 0.23.5.
this is what I wrote on a YouTube reply a few months ago. 0.1 isn’t a thing. Someone edited the files of a later version of 0.3 from the early 2014 era. The devs have never even confirmed it was real. The problem is that no one seems to believe the truth. I and a few other people spent months trying to find evidence of this, looking everywhere. I found screenshots of a may 2013 Dev livestream in an old Nadeox1 video, and the bugs are very clearly different. 1. The particle effects in the livestream have a blocky look, they spread out in a cube shape. This is nowhere to be seen in the “leaked” version you have downloaded. 2. The game contains files of early models of the pigeon, T series, and sunburst, which were added in the experimental builds of BeamNG some time in 2014, until their final release in 2015. These unfinished models are completely in-present in the Lauch August 3rd 2013 0.3.0 build. And remain in-present in many newer builds like 0.3.0.5 and 0.3.1. 3. No record of the supposed “forums leak” was discovered anywhere. Even in over a dozen way back machine forums screenshots. Many forums users were active that day in may of 2013, and a few people where still wondering about the release date for the game, but no one had any mention of any leak. 4. The forums software from pre late 2015 did not support any files bigger than 500 megabytes. (Beamng was over 5GB at launch). 5. The file creation date on the packed .ZIP file of the game was set to august 3rd 2013. Meaning the file was packed 3 months after it was leaked, in the exact date the devs packed the game and released it. That’s it. Do what you want with this data, I’m sorry to break your discovery of “0.1”. Please share this so more people know what is going on. If you have any more questions or opposing evidence reply and I’ll prove ‘em wrong.
I really don't believe this. Various things are flat out broken, unlike the 0.3.*.* builds like the vehicle selector and the map screen.
You can believe whatever you want. This is the evidence I’m giving you, you do what ever you want with it. The files for the ui and such can be removed and modified. I’ve actually messed around with those old versions files before, they’re a lot easier to modify than the newer versions.
