0.30 Discussion Thread

I've spotted some missing collisions, or hitboxes as i'm used to calling them, on west coast. This is regarding the fencing around the 'river' nearest to the new steel factory, exactly where is depicted in the attached screenshot.

It's just a small bug, but I couldn't find it in the list of known "issues". Thank you beam devs for the awesome game you've created and continue to work on

 

v0.30.3 seemed to have fixed the problem with AI commands ("Flee", "Chase me") mentioned before; thanks devs!

 

I would really like to see the "Inverted Zone" option for the crawl missions. Or some sort of exclusion zone. I have a mission where I have a rock bouncer go from one corner of the map to the other corner, but I want it to not allow use of the highway that cuts trough the middle of the map. This could easily be done with making a couple zones outlining the the roads, but with the current zone method its not possible

Also I noticed a tool tip in the mission editor tells you to use 0 for unlimited, but you need to use -1 for unlimited (for flips\recoveries)


Lastly, the Vehicle Recovery during AI Races doesn't worry about the AI vehicles location and you are able to clip through\into other vehicles if they are located on the recovery point when you recover.

 

Not sure if this was reported already but here is a small bug I found in lua/vehicle/energyStorage/n2oTank.lua, trying to call setRemainingMass there's an error because of line 7:

Code:

local clamp = math.clamp

Seems like math.clamp should be replaced with just clamp like the other energy storage scripts, which works as expected.

 

The oil pan on the new SxS is extremely easy to puncture on rocks despite the massive skid plate.

 

Hello! The game is running really poorly on my specs (Ryzen 5 5600/ RX 6600/ 16GB RAM) after the 0.30 update. It's very noticeable when playing with traffic or doing delivery missions. It used to run flawlessly on 0.29. I tried to lower the graphics, but i still have a very clunky frametime and a lot of stuttering. Looks like my CPU is overwhelmed with the update

I tought it was something to do with the WCUSA map update, but i just tried the east coast and got the same result. From 80+ FPS, now i'm struggling to get a smooth 40.

 

I hope so, it's very frustrating :/

 

I don't know if anyone has pointed it out, but there is no grass on the new island on WCUSA.

 

Why would it be
Its a dock lol

 

Not sure if its been mentioned already, but the Navigation UI has a glitch/bug in "normal" mode(Not Safe Mode, works just fine in Safe Mode) where it only shows an area on the map and nothing else, not even the player. I have the improved Nav and the ETS/ATS Nav, disabled both of them, deep cleaned the cache multiple times and still have the same result and it only happened after updating to 0.30.

 

The save and load function doesn't work properly. Loading saves of different cars causes all openable parts to open, and they can't be shut...

Edit: Just saw the known issues list, lol

 

Every time I try to launch in vulcan mode I get this



I have tried reinstalling graphic drivers (adrenaline, radeon pro and NineZ versions)
Tried steam integrity check
Installed vulkan runtime

Nothing works and I cannot get it to run

[EDIT] Specs:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600
RAM - 16 GB
GPU - AMD Radeon R9 390

 

Here are a few very minor bugs I had noticed before the update, but they're still around so I'll post 'em up here for future reference.

The grass seems to always reset to 2.98 whenever I re-open the game. I drag it down and it goes back up on the next opening. Sometime just opening the menu will cause it to reset, but sometimes it will be set back to 2.98 again.



In shadows, there is a ghosting effect on the lettering of the D Series steering wheel and a little bit on the airbag wheel. It only happens in shadows.



And finally, the Taxi variant of the Burnside has a manual transmission but the automatic gear selector.

 

Also why the CVT is much easier to overheat, compared to the CVT installed on the Sunburst

 

I don't know why but I have done every single step, cleaning cache, updating every single one of my drivers, verified my game files and did a complete clean install yet my game still has massive performance issue's with barely reaching 30 fps on the vulken. My school computer which has integrated graphics can get at least 60 fps on grid map on normal graphics while my computer struggles to get 30 on lowest. Im PRETTY sure its not related to a performance issue as my specs are listed at the end. If there is any fixes to this, plz let me know cause I really want to use the new VR feature that's a vulken exclusive

also the vr mode runs even worse than nomrmal mode at about 7 fps

(and yes I have also tried safe mode)

Specs:
i5 13900k 13th gen
32 gb of ram
RTX 3070 Ti
2 TB SSD
windows 10 22H2

 

every time i finish a mission in career mode after the update, the screen goes black. i can still control the car, hear it and everything, just with a black screen. i have to completely restart the game to fix it, its really unfortunate because i really want to play career mode, but this makes it quite literally unplayable unless you just drive around in your starter car.

EDIT: i found out a work around, if you click the Enable VR keybind, and click escape a few times, the radial menu will pop up and when you go out of that it should return for normal. although still annoying, makes it playable

EDIT 2: nope, if you spam escape, it will have the same effect and its easier to do if you dont have a keyboard with a numberpad.

 

Just realized a bug; if using a custom SkyBox in a map the cloud layers are no long visible. This wasn't the case with 0.29 If I toggle the skybox invisible the clouds are there and working. But when the SkyBox is visible the clouds dont show up. (create object > environment > SkyBox)

All images shown use identical map files with no changes other than which game version is running.

 

"BeamNG 0.30 uses Vulkan 1.3.261" Think this might be the problem, your GPU has Vulkan 1.2.170.

 

Had the same issue, thought it's something to do with my mods, as it worked in Safe Mode.
I've clicked "Disable all mods", then clicked "Enable all mods", restarted - and it started working?...

I confirm that in VR you are getting black screen after finishing a mission, and the only workaround is to restart the game.

Also I've had an issue where all my UI Apps - in all configs - disappeared after I moved a couple of them in Time Trial Mission and restarted the game.
When I deleted the "timeTrialMission.uilayout.json" they appeared again.

The reason I moved a couple apps in Time Trial - those LARGE boxes on top waste valuable space, because if you're in 3rd person view you only look above the car. Best would be to move all those apps Below the car, in the unused space, and shrink them a LOT. They are simply TOO LARGE for something you don't look at at all.
And you can't resize them vertically at all.
Added a couple screenshots with notes. Would be nice to have some improvements
