0.12.0.4 Discussion/Feedback/Bugs-Reporting Thread - READ #1 POST!

DISABLE MODS before reporting!​

We always try to keep a retro-compatibility with older mods, but as we change things, sometimes this isn't possible.

To avoid false bug-reports, please check if the issue persists with mods disabled (Safe Mode)
If the issue persists, also try to clean your cache (Clear Cache)
If your problem still persists, check the official bug-list below, and see if your issue is already in our list.
If it isn't in the list, only then you can and should report an issue.

That will help us a lot focusing on actual, real issues, instead of going after problems caused by mods.

Thanks in advance!

Spoiler: How to clear cache

Launch the game and select 'Clear Cache' from the launcher.
It will clear some of the folders in 'Documents/BeamNG.Drive' to 'Documents/BeamNG.Drive/backup'

Spoiler: How to run in Safe Mode

Launch the game and select 'Safe Mode' from the launcher.
It will disable all your mods. Use it before reporting a bug, just incase your issue is caused from a mod and it's not an actual bug!

Spoiler: How to verify the game cache

Spoiler: How to clean reinstall

-Unistall BeamNG from Steam
-Delete BeamNG.Drive folder from MyDocuments (backup your mods if you want, but don't put them back yet!)
-Delete BeamnG.Drive folder from Steam/Steamapp/common (If there is still a folder)
-Reinstall BeamNG.

 

Where is the Airbag Suspension controller located in the Semi's parts menu? (I can't find it)

 

The map I recently released used that function extensively, and I had no problems importing shapes.
So the issue is either something wrong on your side, or the mesh you are trying to use is too complex/has problems (try with something more simple, like a cube or Suzanne)

Not entirely sure, but that is only on the bus (if you mean the rising/lowering suspensions)

Side menu

 

It's not in the menu, it's part of the main vehicle.

 

What kind of speeds.
Tried any speed here with no issues.
If you use any mods, disable them.
Verify installation and clean reinstall if needed.



Just a reminder, before posting any issues report here, test without mods.

 

It's a problem with the mesh.
It has something very wrong, as soon I tried to import it, it flooded the detail list with weird gibberish:

Followed by a crash.

You can:
- Do it manually (copy the .cs file from one of the mesh on my map for example, and edit it in notepad manually - It's not immediate, but not too hard either)
- Fix the mesh (should be a single object, no weird scenetree setup or empties parented with whatever.

Works here.

Disable mods (should be done before even attempting to post here), Verify, Clean Reinstall and etc.

 

Kill process, reboot PC, hard reset. You got plenty of choices.
Optimistically, your installation is not intact and a clean reinstall would fix it.

(Also please avoid filling the thread with obvious things, so we can keep it essential for everybody)

No, it filled the list and then crashed. The mesh is just simply too complicated/badly setup (with that, there's not much to do from the game's side). Any other mesh setup as single object in a .DAE works fine.
Ramp mesh you tried please?

 

Uhm, ok this is weird.
I cannot get it to work anymore for some reason.

If you need a possible solution right now, do it manually ( I did not had much luck with that ).
Pick the .cs file from one of the previous 'successful' attemps, edit it to match the other mesh name and you are done.

Highly recommended is do it the normal way, and use a proper blender structure for this.
Why? Because what you are using is an old T3D feature (which is not used officially, and may break badly in the future).
Spending some more time into doing that properly is better than having to fix it on a second moment

(It's simplier than it looks)

Yes.
If you wonder if you can use 'mod bus', you can't for the time being.
