Version 0.5.3 released

btw, how do i bring up that overlay to show me exactly whats damaged in the engine. id really like to be able to see that

 

Love it!

Was waiting years for this!

 

Question: wouldn't there be a bit more fumes from an undamaged car's exhaust pipe? I mean, I watched WhyBeAre's update vid, and the only time I saw that smoke came out the exhaust was when the engine was damaged. I know they wouldn't visibly put of that much, but I saw none.
Also, I know this is a brand new future, and will have changes and improvements, but I found it funny that even if you smash your car up a lot, it will not saw "cylinder wall damaged". Perhaps they will do to the engine what they did to the cars, which is to calculate how damaged it is (separate parts of engine so certain parts more damaged than others) as this would give much more realistic damage. I can obviously be done, as show by the scenarios, and by the fact that the engine car smoke after damage (suggesting damage "sensing")

 

Guys, I have to commend the entire team for this update!

Yet another whole side to the simulation of a vehicle game that I dont think anyone has seen done to this standard before.
As a long term fan/supporter I hope you keep up the great work!

I will be willing to purchase DLC's that specifically showcase some of the latest and greatest features.(just an idea)

 

The east coast USA map still performs like rubbish when I look at the small town in it. The jungle rock island map is fine and the hirochi raceway still run well but it would be great if this issue could be taken care of because not everyone has thousands to spend on a gaming PC. The small island map also performs terribly when I look towards the middle of it.
I have an i7 950 3.0Ghz CPU, a 960 2gb graphics card and 12gb of ram on medium to high settings in beamNG.

 

Strange, I have a Gtx 560 ti 2gb, and an I5-3470 3.2 GHz, and 8 gigs RAM, yet I run it with all settings as high as they can go. Well, I turned dynamic reflections off, because that eats framerate like crazy, but other than that, it runs smoothly with all settings cranked up. I play in 1600x900.

 

I also have a 960 and the framerate isnt too terrible, but this game is very poorly optimized, be it devs fault or the game engines.

 

What FPS do you get though? To me 30 is pretty rubbish.

 

I know you didn't ask me, but I get anywhere from 60 to 45. The game definitely needs better optimization.

 

Please help! It says an error occurred updating beamNG.drive, (disk read error)!!!! What Does It MeaN AND PLEASE HELP MEE

 

thats a steam error not a BeamNG error

 

What Can I Do??

 

go to steam support, and usually its an issue with either failing hard drive, files on the drive being in use while steam is trying to install (ie you have the last patch running), the folder being locked or similar.

 

I get between 30 and 60 fps depending on what map I choose. The most detailed maps run at 30 fps.
