0.30 Discussion Thread

Tow hitch on D-Series Cargobox is offset. But is fine on H-Series Cargobox.

 

How did you get yours to connect? I’m using a quest 2, but every time I launch the game it goes in the normal mode. I can’t get it to launch in the Vulcan version to use the vr

 

Really good update but a pach 1 day after release is kinda funny

 

You'll want to launch the game from the executable in your game directory. They are working on a fix, but for now, if you don't see the launcher when you start it through steam, use the executable.

 

when you turn on the night, the rear-view mirrors turn black, but if you turn on the day, then everything is good

 

not sure why but it seems that the new additions on west coast have eaten a few of my frames. even when far away from the new areas I still get frame drops. also, it seems that my gpu and cpu arent working harder then before so I have no idea whats going on.

It should say "Game doesn’t start on Intel and AMD integrated graphics" because it's not a card, that sentence confused me at first because of that

 

I have found a bug with the synchronizer damage. When you are stationary in neutral, press the clutch and shift into reverse (you don't even need to release the clutch), you get a little bit of synchronizer damage. Shifting into 1st does not cause this damage, and there is also no damage if you first hold the clutch in neutral for a long time (>1s). If you also rev the engine, you cause considerably more damage and the car also moves a little bit (which it shouldn't, I'm holding the clutch).

Tested on WCU with ETC "Knallhart" with manual clutch using either keyboard or controller.

 

Mine still crashes on startup.

 

First of all, I love the WCUSA expansion, the island truly needed to be revamped and be put into good use. And I'm impressed with how much detail there is in the new Steel Factory. Even the steel rolls are properly represented in there. But the maze of the underground levels and the sewer system of this building is a real adventure, properly suitable for car chases and Hide & Seek RPs!
And the new car is just awesome, it can take the WCUSA's staircase streets like a champ, not to mention that it may be the absolute best vehicle for exploring the aforementioned underground maze!

Now for my list of proposed fixes and improvements:
1) The Lighthouse of the Spearleaf Island could be functional during nighttime, but I guess that's a matter for when WCUSA gets functional light poles and interior lighting too, like the Utah map already has.
2) Since the Spearleaf Island has refinery tanks now, the existing dockside refinery tanks next to the fish market (and not very far from the hospital) no longer have any business being there, even if the pipes transferring the oil still run through the city.
3) The Steel Factory could get its own spawn point! Also, the steel-melting cauldron at the far back could actually be functional and be burning the cars dropping inside of it! Two great opportunities in my book!
4) At the new parking lot next to the new Docks, the center line separating the parking spots of the picture I took below doesn't exist, despite the update video showing otherwise, and it makes these spots look like the truck-stop ones.
5) The on-screen clock of both modern ETKs is stuck in a certain time (12:32) while it was functional before the 0.30.

 

There's a gap along this road on Spearleaf island. Don't mind the image being oversaturated, Windows and HDR...

 

I think that issue is caused by a bug in the clutch assistant since before 0.30. I noticed that when you are stationary, you will sometimes see a vehicle jostle a bit as if it were rapidly releasing and applying the clutch, especially if the framerate drops below 45. I noticed it most prominently on the piccolina myself.

 

I have clutch assist off, and ~120 fps. That is likely not the problem.

Im trying to use VR. I launch SteamVR then launch Beam.NG but the vr is in a display movie theatre thing. Am i doing something wrong?

 

Barrels in the factory still have no collision

 

All Bolide configs, all maps, no mods, keyboard, and steering assists only. You have to hold the clutch in in N for at least 3 seconds at idle to avoid damage, and it only occurs when shifting to reverse.

After more testing it seems that every manual car does this (a quick shift to R at idle always causes 1% synchro damage, and the same shift to 1 causes no damage) - although the amount of time needed to hold the clutch in varies.

edit: I suppose it's the byproduct of having unsynchronized reverse gears, but isn't 3s a long time for a shift?

 

Tbh the devs could wait for a couple weeks for fully extending the West Coast map to finally getting rid of the barriers and add new stuff. They could even add a new airport by reusing the Airport assets in Italy.

 

So is speculars and chrome for non pbr vehicles just done or is there a way to fix it or can it be fixed in a hotfix or something?

 

discovered a bug in 0.30 when you let the car run with ctrl + shift + I and you have fun with the traffic cars throwing the traffic cars into your vehicle and well the game automatically resets the car.
