Update Speculation thread

Never forget BeamNG 7/12

 

imagine the devs already finished it and jus want to release it on july 12

 

I will also be in the forum to see the hype, but I don't think they will release an update on a Sunday.

 

Here I made a terrible skin to commemorate this day

 

Unless you're putting in as much effort as this guy right here, stop with the July 12th posts. Page after page of "July 12th"...Go to Reddit

 

First I want to thank you for continually compiling these. I personally have almost taken your teaser logs for granted, but I shouldn't given the amount of work it takes. Second, I'm a bit conflicted on this part. I think I would be really dissapointed tbh if an additional FCV bodystyle is all we get as a new vehicle, but we are runing pretty late into 2026, and it could bring along some significant changes somehow.

 

Oh god its July 12th for me right now

 

i'll just put this here because why not

That's a good fake lmao

 

So, just doing a rough breakdown as it's probably not coming out today.

There has never been a major update during July (that I can recall) just hotfixes 0.36.1 - 0.36.4 and a few others

However we do see year on year updates on the same date or similar dates as previous year's(within 2-5 days of an update years prior)

Making an assumption based on these dates you would have to look

At August and September.

August: 0.7 and 0.29 fall on the 24th and 29th of August, most notable would be 3rd of August 0.3.0(alpha)

September: not even going to list versions, over the years we have had 14th-24th with repitition.

Now only updates that have fallen on the same day as a previous updates are in months March, June and December.

Based on all the teasers I hope the update is close, however basing off the dates of previous updates, the Devs giving themselves till the end of August to make sure its perfect doesn't seem unlikely based on previous update dates. As with how long its been since the last update.

So I'm hopeful it's this month(break tradition) July is the only month of the year that has never had a major update, only hot fixes.

Otherwise it should be 3rd of August as that's when 0.3.0 (first public release *alpha*) came out, so one of their bigger updates with updated graphics, a ps5 port(probably not dropping at the same time), the Ardente, updates aero physics, and more. Could it potentially be worthy to share a date with 0.3.0?

Anyway, that's my opinion/breakdown

With all the teasers dropped over the past few weeks it may come sooner.

 

How did you make it so realistic?

 

The page is a little different for me

 

Today is the day that the BeamNG subreddit implodes

 

Got some new Tdev screenshots from discord here, looks like we might be getting some updates to traffic AI. Likely minor as the routes shown already exist I think, so maybe just some logic work?





Any ideas as to what the different colours might represent? Especially for the red and blue, I don't see a clear pattern.

 

Your question has already been answered here https://www.beamng.com/threads/update-speculation-thread.20246/page-4021#post-1943405

 

We talked about it a couple pages ago

 

There's also the fact that it's Sunday, and Germans take the concept of Sunday very seriously. Not even grocery stores are open on Sunday in Germany.

 

How did the Germans manage to out-South us

 

Isn't that a thing in most European countries?

It's the same where I live
