    Hi,
    Since the last update I get low framerate and stutterings in every map and with every car. No matter which graphic settings I choose (lowest or high) and it lags.
    I was used to play nearly at maximum settings and my FPS were 40/50. Now I can't even play properly

    I have an AMD FX-8320 with 8GB RAM and a Radeon R9 270x. Graphics drivers are the latest (beta), can someone help me?

    Unfortunately I get this both on Freeroam and Scenarios (but it's more noticeable in scenarios).

    Ciao :)

    What are the FPS you are getting now? And is it more like 'Stuttering' or just Constant low FPS?
    Apparently there has been something with performance going on. Things are under investigation..

    Ciao Nadeox :3

    Anyway, I get 30 fps and then it goes to 15/17 FPS, sometimes I just get 20FPS for the whole playing session.. Everytime is different!

    Sounds similar to my problem: http://www.beamng.com/threads/13875-Variable-simulation-performance

    I just got the game though, so I don't know if it's related to any update.

    On the last updates I was able to play in a better way, but not so much, just costant 20/30 fps, nothing great.

    Lags especially in high density vegetation areas and on bridges, but that's a known issue :)

    I think you might be expecting too much from a 270x. Disable Dynamic reflections, SSAO, and reduce mesh quality. This should significantly improve framerate if you are GPU bottlenecked.

    Still 20/30FPS with the options on Low and High?
    You should try turning the 'Mesh Quality' to Normal (or Low), that's an important option as it controls the LODs of the objects, trees especially.
    (Also, sure Vsync is off? (If you are playing in Fullscreen))

    I posted while I was still downloading the latest bug fix.

    Now everything seems to be better, costant 30FPS, just lags when I go on bridges but still better than before, a lot playable for sure! Not so playable like first version, but still enjoyable.

    Thankyou :)

    EDIT

    Now I get 50/60 FPS, had accidentally set FPS Limiter to 30.The latest update did fixed my issues anyway!
