Game crash when I want to go to the option screen

Here is the problem that I'm encountering in the techdemo and in the alpha:

From the moment that I click to the button "Option" from the main screen the game crash and go back to Windows (win 8 pro).
I don't know if it's in relation but for both installations (techdemo + alpha) I desactivate the Windows Smartscreen. Without doing that it was impossible to install DRIVE.
Also I noticed that the game is launching in windowed mode.
Iif I expand the window the screen resolution is not far from 1920 x 1080 but an alt+tab is reducing the resolution dramatically (maybe because I don't have access to the options of the game).
If someone already had this issue and finded a solution feel free to help me

Thank you

 

Thanks for your feedback.
Unfortunately I don't have access to any "apply" button.
Once "BeamNGSandbox.x86.exe" is launched a simple click to the button "Option" makes the game crashing and it goes back to Windows.
Some minutes ago I sent a bug report for that.

 

Thank you.
On the bugreport sent a couple minutes ago I filled the text and I described the problem.

 

I too have sent multiple crash reports each in different attempts to open the option dialog various ways. Hopefully a few varying reports will help you narrow down this bug.
EDIT: I suggest for the meantime editing the script/client/prefs.cs following line to

$pref::Video::mode = "2560 1600 true 32 60 4";
Or $pref::Video::mode = "1920 1080 true 32 60 4"; If you have a HD screen

That should get you full res and full screen. To toggle full screen/window just change the true to false or vice versa

 

Thanks a lot MercyFlush. With your post I was able to change the resolution, activate v-sync and push the refresh rate to 120hz as my monitor allow it.

I don't know if it's due to the fact that I never had access to the option screen but it seems that there is no client profile created in my hard drive.
The file prefs.cs is missing from the location "script/client" but present inside "core/prefs.cs".
Unfortunately the prefs.cs file contained only code for server and nothing else.
Hopefully and with your information I was able to find the code in another file and location: "core/scripts/client/defaults.cs".
This is the file that I modified in order to change the screen stuff.

So in waiting a future update I can say that my problem is solved thank you

 

Not a problem, I'm glad it worked for you I think the reason you didn't have a prefs.cs in the scripts directory is because you might not have been able to exit the game without it CTD (crash to desktop). If the game does crash when you press the exit/close button try this instead. Press Tilde (~) then type 'quit' without quotes, and then press enter. That should give you your prefs.cs in the script folder.

I've also noticed that if you do an update the prefs.cs can sometimes be deleted so if it does disappear on you just do as above and you should be up and running quick smart. Although I'd say the dev's are working hard as always keeping the patches coming!

 

Perfect
The file "prefs.cs" was created inside folder "script/client" when I typed 'quit' in the console.
Thank you again
