    Sorry about that, as I was making the map I didn't realize how much texture lods are important. The map has alot of lods but barely any texture lods.

    My more recent projects have had texture lods and have made such a difference for performance.

    Great to know!
    I never had performance issues on this map but I noticed that whenever I make any edits in World Editor and save them (e.g. move a building) then BeamNG Drive would crash when trying to load this map again. Didn't matter if it was unpacked or not.

    Surprised you found that, this has been main issue it's hard to add / make the map have better performance because for some reason the game doesn't load a new save of the map. I'm hoping a future update will randomly fix it because otherwise I can't really fix it. Unless I can debug whats going on.

    Maybe make a “lite” version as a separate map but with mostof the same asset copied over, just the laggy stuff like some big buildings removed. I’ve seen an Italy lite map that doesn’t interfere with the regular map, so this is possible.

    I would love to do that but if you saw the previous post the map is currently "bugged" and I can't really edit and save the map sadly. I will if I can in the future though.

    It would be better if you stop demanding the release of the update.

    Mmmm yes 2 fps.
    But in other meanings the map looks cool and it has the type of roads i like and its overall in nice shape.
    But i cant use it because in the big city i have around 5 to 10 or lower fps and the city is my favourit part of it.
    On other places its playable but there is lots of lag spikes and drops.
    But thats my problem that i cant get a new pc lol.
    I recomand this map its great.
    I also heard that there will be a performance update,If thats true than im always gonna use this map.
    And does it have traffic support ?
    I couldn't try that out.

    I'm sorry it is that bad for you! What kind of pc do you have that seems a bit absurd to only get that amount. Idk if even a performance update would help fix that haha.
