    I thought it was gone too, but I'm noticing that again too lately. Better open up a note about that..

    I tried everything but nothing makes it better. I even overclocked my cpu too from 3.10 to 3.30 but didnt help.
    I want to add that some cars have worse impact lag than others where very few cars dont seem to have it at all both original and custom.
    Beamng doesnt seem to store anything but rather has to load every time i crash my car from a height or with proper speed.
    People say it is normal to have impact lag the first time because it buffers all the stuff and there may lie the problem. Maybe it doesnt save or buffer or whatever and it has to load every fresh crash like the first. There is a possibility that this problem is a bug.

    Impact lag occurs for me after cleaning out the cache, it's really bad for me as I have the game on an old SATA II 160GB HDD, but once the materials & textures are either cached on my SSD or are loaded to memory, it's no longer an issue for me.

    My suggestion: Load up a vehicle you want to drive, look around to load the environment, then obliterate the vehicle to load all the broken textures. This is what I do, whether or not it makes sense or not, it does work for me.

    Specs in my sig.

    Believe me i tried that a 1000 times over the years. Things like dropping it from as high as i could to make it try n load all the textures and stuff but the problem is that it doesnt seem to store it anywhere.
    I dont think i have a very fast hdd it is a pretty cheap 2terr. That cant be the problem can it? How fast does a hdd need to be?
    Or could it perhaps be a cache related problem?

    You might be answering your own question to how the program works now.

    420 intensifies...

    Anyway the cache is stored in Documents/BeamNG.drive/cache.0.3.8.3

    You can just delete the entire folder (cache.0.3.8.3)

    Wow the beamng cache is empty which then furthers my suspicions that the game doesnt make use of it somehow and therefor creating impact lag every time i crash a vehicle.

    Hahaha nice picture. Seems like i'm amongst other herb enthusiasts lol
    I forgot all about 420 this year because my mother was at my place for vacation from Canada XD
