AI working really weirdly or not at all

    Hey guys. I've searched around but found nothing that quite describes my problems.
    Since recently (not since last update, it was kind out of the blue) my AI has stopped working, or at the very least very... strangely.
    I have not added any mods or whatever it was since the issue, and the only mods i have are just cars (not even new cars, just new configs of existing cars) and maps, so i seriously don't think this is the source of the problem. And the game is up to date.

    What happens when i select the different AI's:
    Random appears the be the only one working normally, where the car just goes where it pleases
    Flee just stays in neutral and doesn't do anything, so it's exactly like disabled
    Chase just makes them turn on the parking brake, and stand still. No throttle, no brakes, no nothing. Just toggles handbrake and stays there forever.
    Stopping i'm not really sure since i didn't use this much, and honestly didn't test it either since imo is irrelevant.

    I've done some solutions (or tried rather) that other people said on different posts with similar problems, which were resetting the cache, and changing the app (since it was updated), and switching back and forth between AI mods. None of these worked, and it also happens on every map. Any solutions or do i need to wait for a patch?

    Did you try to delete the 'uiapps-layouts.json' file in Documents/BeamNG.Drive/settings?

    Deleting that file does not delete any mod.

    It doesn't, but clearing the cache did, which i tried before as it was one of the stated possible fixes

    If you manually deleted the 'Documents/BeamNG.Drive' folder to delete the cache, then yes.
    If you press the 'Clear Cache' button in the launcher, not :)

    Uhm, what? But it did... I did use the clear cache button at the launcher, and the mods disappeared... I've checked both the documents (as it said it would save something there (forgot what)), and the steam directory, neither have them. But it's good to be honest, some were out of date and it's a good excuse to get more xD

    Where the mods installed correctly? (They only go in the 'mods' folder).

    Haven't you pressed the 'SAFE MODE' button? It will disable all your mods (Then you have to manually re-enable them from the mod manager)

    No. I've had these mods for a while, and back then the mods folder didn't work, so i looked for a work-around and it's still what i use today. Basically i just put the mods directly on the BeamNG folder and they work well enough. Guess that's the problem. I have everything back, and even better, so thank you very much for the help ^^

    This thread is regarding an older version of the game.

    Are you using the latest game version? What map are you trying?

    Why not?

    Support is toward the latest version of the game.
    If you purchased the game legally, just update it.
    If you haven't purchased the game, consider doing so if you like it.
