Rendering Engine Bug on a Laptop with Dedicated AMD GPU

Hey BeamNG Team!

I think you might want considering that. On my laptop with dual graphics card (Dedicated AMD and Built-in Intel HD), after PBR updates to the maps, in some of them, there is a minor bug in your rendering engine, as you can see from the provided image, wireframe mode is always open or enabled in all Utah map, and some parts of other maps.



Because my PC and its component is really old , It is not major problem but maybe, you can make some suggestions about it. Finally, this is the output of GPU-Z. Thank you for your invaluable work! Hope healthy days!

 

No any feedback?

 

Have you tried turning down the settings or updating your graphics card drivers?

 

The latest drivers are already installed and tweaking the graphics settings doesn't give any result. The wireframes are always visible.

 

try checking/unchecking something in the debug menu?

 

For those who wanna see my graphics settings, the image taken in Grid Map V2. As you can see, the wireframes are only visible on decal roads not terrain.

Yeah, I've done but didn't solve it. Thanks for your interests.

 

just checked my game with the same settings as you and it does not do the same thing. i have got an old amd gaming laptop ill quickly check to see if that does the same.

 

i still think some debug setting is on, not sure which, go through all the settings tabs, and check "everything"

 

unfortunately, my dell precision m6400 with its firepro m7740 is not enough for beamng... also it has no dx11 support.

now looking at gpuz, the driver date on your card says 2015, meaning it is very out of date, the card was originally released around then.

the drivers you have are version 15. something and on AMD's website the newest is 21.5. id update them asap. see if that helps at all.

here is a link:

by the looks of it you are using some dell gaming laptop. im guessing some old latitude or inspiron. you may want to re thermal paste it as the original paste will be old by now.

i own a similar aged dell xps 14 and that thing had some horrible thermal paste in it. replacing it made it run much cooler..

 

Do you mean that tab?

Yeah, you are right, I am still using an old Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 model laptop, it is not gaming laptop though, but it makes my work for both gaming like beamng and usual works.

My GPUs release date is 2012. The date of latest driver provided by the laptop manufacturer Dell is 2015. I have tried the update to the version 2021 as you specify but the update always crashes the Windows Kernel and result in a blue screen or frozen screen, so unfortunately I cannot update it to the latest version that AMD provides.

I have just cleaned the laptop 6 months ago, done a general dust clean but not apply a termal paste because couldn't remove the cooler bar and reach the cpu and gpu.

Thank you for your suggestions though!

did you try the usual troubleshooting steps, cleaning cache, verifying file integrity through steam ?

 

Yeah, I have tried it but didn't help.

 

I am really curious about what causes that odd issue. Is there anyone who knows how to debug such a problem?
