The durability issue for windows and glass still remains in some of the vehicles, a issue that has been mostly fixed from last update, but still remains in some. Also many vehicles still have wrong parts installed.

Bruckell LeGran:

- Not fixed from last update, rear passenger and rear quarter windows still remain way too fragile. This is especially bad on the wagon body style.
- The dash lights use both the period-accurate warning lights along the modern generic lights as well for some reason. The modern generic lights should be removed.
- Rev limits are still inaccurate.

Bruckell Moonhawk:

- Driveshaft breaks way to easily in head-on collisions.
- Engine is indestructible and can not be broken.

Burnside Special:

- 274 V8 2-Door Sedan (A) uses the wrong transmission. It should use the 2-speed instead of the 3-speed auto.

Civetta Scintilla:

- All the GTs and GTx configs use the wrong ECU. They should all use the sport ECU instead of the stock one as indicated by the description.

ETK 800-Series:

- All automatic diesel configurations uses the wrong torque converter. They should all use the proper diesel one.

ETK 800/K - Series:

- The intercooler for the turbocharged 4.4L V8 isn't properly j-beamed and can not be damaged.
- Many dash lights do not line up properly including the low fuel light and the oil pressure light, while the temperature light does not work at all.

Gavril Barstow:

- Front suspension randomly collapses too easily. This is a new issue for 0.37.

Gavril Bluebuck:

- Tie rods snap too easily in heavier landings or when landing on one side. It should definitely be stronger like it was pre 0.35.

Gavril Grand Marshal:

- Windshield and side windows shatter too easily. The windows seem to have the same issue like a few of the cars did last update where the door frames need to be strengthened so the windows don't shatter on a small jump.

Gavril T-Series:

- Half of the configurations do not display the low air pressure message. I can't seem to find a reason why some do display it, and some don't.

Hirochi Sunburst:

- The back window and side windows are too fragile. Window frames need to be stronger so they don't break on a tiny jump. This is mostly the same for the wagon body style as well.

Ibishu BX-Series:

- The custom headlights are a bit broken. You can remove the right side headlight and it will still work, but if you break the left headlight glass, the right headlight glass will also break.

Ibishu Hopper:

- The Hopper did not get fixed from last update where all the windows need to be stronger.

Soliad Wendover:

- The lights got updated to pbr, but aren't mentioned in the patch notes.
- The digital gauges/screens do not shut off anymore when in a hard enough crash.
- Rev limits also inaccurate.

I don't expect all of these issues to be fixed in the next patch, but I at least hope some of these issues gets looked at by the devs.

 

I've found that if you have the speedometer on screen and you put it in first person view, the speedometer will disappear and not reappear and you have to turn that action off again.

 

Where did the game settings.ini go? I cant configure my Beamng in Moza Pithouse so my FFB is not function . Please fix this

 

After a clean install I´ve managed to launch the game, but if launched through NVIDIA app or behind a VPN (safe connection) it freezes on BLACK SCREEN and it doesn't allow access to anything to attempt a relaunch and forcing a HARD PC RESTART.
No NVIDIA COMPATIBILITY for GRAPHICS OPTIMIZATION and the RESOURCES NEEDED to run the game basically DOUBLED UP...very needy (you have to BUY THE LATEST PC HARDWARE to run it smooth). It went from 100+ FPS on FULL GRAPHICS down to 40-60 FPS. Where is the so PROMISSED OPTIMIZATION???

PC SPECS:
ASUS PRO Z790-P
Intel i9 13Gen 13900KF
Kingston FURY Beast 2x 16GB DDR5-4800
Kingston SSD 2TB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

 

BeamNG 0.37 is cool and all — the new asset pipeline is shiny, the editor feels smoother… but my breakfast still isn’t ready. Where’s my /makeToast command line, devs?!

Turn off smooth motion if you have that on. it gave me black screen and errors with the UI when moving menus in or our of dock. they are looking into it.

 

Hi, good day
Thank you for the advise. I do actually have smooth motion turned on. Gonna give it a go with default settings and I´ll come back with the results.
Watch your toaster, toast just started burning (joking)

Launched through NVIDIA app but it still freezes on black screen when launched behind VPN connection. NVIDIA graphics optimization still not available.

 

I like the limo and the new vehicle UI

 

May I ask where one can find the changelog?

 

Okay but how do i then configure the game in Moza Pithouse software to get my FFB working? In 0.36 it was just to configure it automatic in the pithouse software.


This is from Moza them self:

To manually modify the telemetry configuration of the game, the steps are as follows:


Step 1: Find the game configuration file "game-settings-cloud.ini"
The configuration file path for "beamNG.drive" is:

Example: "C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Local/BeamNG.drive/0.23/settings/cloud/game-settings-cloud.ini".

Step 2: Modify the parameters of the "game-settings-cloud.ini" configuration file
Contents and values to be modified:

• “outgaugeEnabled” = true
• “outgaugeIP” = 127.0.0.1
• “outgaugePort” = 4444

If the "game-settings-cloud.ini" file is not found, the user can start the game and make the game create "game-settings-cloud.ini" to modify it.

 

It depends on your pc.

 

Trying to find out something about why my game crashes on loading some maps I've ran integrity check and here are the findings:

195.69939|I|bng::Launcher::verifyHash| c:/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/beamng.drive/none.json: missing

195.79091|E|bng::Launcher::findMissingDependencies| * External ERROR api-ms-win-core-winrt-string-l1-1-0.dll - NOT FOUND
195.79103|E|bng::Launcher::findMissingDependencies| * External ERROR api-ms-win-core-realtime-l1-1-1.dll - NOT FOUND
195.79166|E|bng::Launcher::findMissingDependencies| * External ERROR ndfapi.dll - NOT FOUND
195.79276|E|bng::Launcher::findMissingDependencies| * External ERROR api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll - NOT FOUND

How critical is this and is there some way to find these missing external files?

 

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I'll click on a car/prop, and go change the variant. for whatever bloody reason, it switches back to the thumbnail config. I went into safe mode, and the issue persists. IT IS ANNOYING.

 

there's also the problem that when you start the drag race again, the vehicle doesn't reset, if I lost half my wheels, i have to do the next race with half my wheels, that should be fixed, I have to change vehicle/leave scenario to start an other race each time I have damages (or lost NO2/JATO)

 

Seems like it expects you to use controller / numpad keys to navigate across vehicle variants, mouse click just reverts to whatever was previously selected

 

I have a PC that used to run the game on 60 FPS high graphics 1 car (50 FPS with 6 cars in traffic) in 0.27
now the game freezes more often, sometimes forcing me to restart the gale, and sometimes my PC itself. I also have 35-50 FPS with 1 car now, and some features are literally unplayable for me, they just never load (career mod, campain n°2 and some others)

the game is definetly less optimized than before

 

Doing an integrity check via the steam library as opposed to the beamng launcher automatically downloads missing files.
I assume it is similiar for other vendors.
