0.27 Discussion Thread

odd that the wendover's screens stay on even with accessories and ignition off.

 

Has anyone else had a decrease in performance in this update?
My pc seems to have some hardware that this game hates, I could run ultra on Italy with 8 regular cars in 0.26, in 0.27 i can run ultra on Italy with 2 regular cars, if i spawn 3 then it starts lagging hard, when i first bought the game back in 0.21 i could run 12 cars on max graphics fine.
Any idea what could be causing this?

 

I am experiencing this issue as well, at some places in the official maps, I am only getting about 45 max. whilst before it was 60 or more without vehicles. Definitely something wrong with optimization in this version

 

Hello, regarding the L/100km consumption issue - I experience this on the dashboard of the ETK 800 6 cylinder diesel

 

am also having this issue.

 

Me too, older versions i could run 7 cars no problem, now my CPU is maxing out at 5 cars and more it starts to stutter. Maybe with time the game just got more difficult to run? it has so much more things and looks so much better than before after all.

 

The moving Transfer Case Shifters in the D-Series dont work right now.
Sorry if this was already mentioned i didn´t had gone all over the thread.

 

I would also like the traffic in the game to overtake and not be so slow at all , yes, you can set up the risk , but you will have to display the widget, it would be nice if by default they had a higher risk , on the new map I see that cars are trying to overtake me , but if I go as far as possible on the right side , and so they shift to the left for overtaking but they don 't overtake
--- Post updated ---
and also on the new map on the autobahn in some places fps drops for no reason at first from 60 70 to 40 or 30 and then to 20 25 but after this place it normalizes to 50 60 70 although I don't see a reason for this because there are no large objects therere

 

Johnson Valley doesn't have an icon for Discord Rich Presence

 

Literally the very first thing I did in the new update was jump the fence with the trophy truck straight out of the gas station.

 

Stambecco US format license plates are both slightly incorrectly positioned, meaning that they just about hide in the bumper and aren't visible.

 

I noticed that at one of the dams of the jungle rock islands, the water source does not go to the wall which causes the FPU wydra to flow, it's a small detail but enough disturbing since one cannot therefore pass to the other side.

 

Thank you so much!!!!
But i can still start the car with the off mode for some reason. Do you think supposted to be like that?

 

After a full day of playing here are some of the issues and feedback I have. First off, overall, everything is AMAZING. Thank you so much to the whole team, you can tell a lot of hard work went into this. And it was a FREE update, WOW!!! This game keeps getting better and better. After this im sure the next update will be a while, but still Im super excited to see whats next. Now to the feedback:

Johnson Valley rocks --- tires get stuck inside of rocks on car reset. Any area with rocks with any vehicle. Not every time, but happens quite often. Its as if the car spawns in a bit too low, like it spawns flat on the terrain layer instead of above the rocks**

Johnson Valley border fences --- I get why you have a map limit, but if you are going to have mission go outside the boarder like with the salt flats, please create more holes in the fence or find some sort of other way to create the artificial boarder. Such a skimpy looking fence should not stop a huge heavy truck from running through it. Plus with how massive this map is, only having one hole in the fence means several minutes (or more) of driving just to get out of or back into the regular map.

Johnson Valley RV park --- scaling of the RVs are way off. They are massive compared everything else, even the bus. The whole camp looks amazing, but driving through it really breaks the immersion. Especially the pigeon marker collect mission, it felt like I was driving an RC car.

Autobello Autobuggy - Front suspension likes to glitch out and disappear when crashed and stays invisible after a reset (made a post with picture on page 8) It fixes itself if I completely reload the car, but a simple reset does not fix it after it happens.

SP Rock Bouncer --- not a complaint by any means, I love it as is, but I would like to see a long wheel base version. For anyone whos into Rock Bouncers, some of best championship winning bouncers out there have a long wheel base compared to the average bouncer (check out Tim Cameron Racing for a good example)

SP Dune Kicker --- also not a complaint, I would love to see some 4x4 parts for it. Its awesome even for 2 wheel drive, but my favorite part of Beam is to modify and customize my vehicle configs. This truck is amazing but has very little parts to change or tweak.



**Specifically on Johnson Valley when I reset any vehicle on a section with a lot of rocks the cars seem to spawn with the tires stuck inside of the rocks. Often times it will pop the tire, or I will have to keep resetting over and over until it finally is able to get unstuck. This happens more often with larger tires, which if you're rock crawling you most likely have large tires. This is very repeatable with nearly any vehicle and anywhere on the map with rocks. This was especially disappointing when I was doing that 45min marker collection mission with the 6x6 fire truck. I was 35 minutes in and had to reset, my tires got stuck in a rock and would pop every time. I ended up failing the mission, which was very disappointing since it wasn't my fault and I spent over half an hour.

 

Just wanted to show some appreciation to the Devs for this update.

I've been playing beam for years now and I'm always happy with the constant development and content that each update brings, but this update in particular, I am absolutely blown away.

I've been using beam for realistic rock crawling for a couple of years now and Johnson Valley is an absolute masterpiece.

Considering the history of the place for modern offroading, its an awesome location to have ingame, massive variety of off road tracks and trails.

The deserts are prefect for blasting through with the awesome high speed off-road physics but the rock trails through the hills are where I'm most impressed.

The trails feel extremely natural, it is an absolute pleasure to take all sorts of builds through these trails, with the marked levels of difficulty being an excellent guide to keep you out of too much trouble in a mild rig.

Whilst it's great fun taking ultra4 rigs and the new rockbasher rigs through the trails I most enjoy taking mild builds out onto the realistic trails.

Thankyou for this update Devs, it really is the perfect update for me and I am going to lose hundreds of hours just roaming around Johnson Valley in various builds.

I also love the ability to access the salt flats, towing a 300mph+ car through the desert on a trailer to unload it and do a realistic high speed run on a salt flat, then load up and have a 15 minute drive out of the desert. This is something no other game comes close to doing.

Blown away, thankyou Devs

 

I just noticed that the pressure gauge needle is not following the case after an accident.

 

Hi,
I found some funny leftovers in the assets of Johnson Valley. There is an unused second gas station design:

Yes, and I found Wrecksy in a skinned version

And some unfinished trailers:



I found it by accident while updating my map shrink tool for BeamNG 0.27. It works now even with the new map.
By the way. The devs could save 500MB for deployment. Otherwise I woudn't have found skinny Wrecksy

 

To add on to this, it seems worse at Italy at the airport, here you can see it most noticeably in the mirrors

 

Why is it doing that? All mods removed, clean install, verified all files. Any ideas?
