Heavy lag, freezes and long loading times

Around 2 weeks ago, my game started to have performance issues.
It happens all the time on Italy, a very few times on other maps (Utah for example.)

The game has many lag spikes, when loading vehicles it will sometimes take a really long time (5 minutes+) and most of time I end up force quiting.
Meanwhile, other maps almost always work fine.

Sometimes, going into settings can also make the game freeze.

I fear it may be a ram issue, as I only have 8 GB. However, it has never been a problem before as I said.

The lag, happens around 10 seconds in:

(after this clip, I spawned another vehicle and it seemed to work all good. The issue is weird.)

The long loading times (ending up force quitting)


Specs:
I7 4790 3.6ghz
8 GB RAM
GTX 1060 6gb
Windows 10
G27

I tried:
Safe mode
Reinstall game
Clear cache
Deleting \AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.22


I am out of clues, tried reading the logs but didn't give me much. Not sure what to look for.
Only thing of interest I found was this line, not sure if it could cause it:
308.48031|E|DirectInputDeviceV2:rocessAsync|DirectInputDevice:rocessAsync -- wheel0 input device's event buffer overflowed!

 

same and slimiar specs

 

The Italy map has a lot of buildings and trees so it can impact your frames a lot.
Never seen it on that scale tho bloody hell.

 

I have the same issue except for every map, including gridmap, but the lag gets better as I play but loading times are really slow and like to freeze my game forcing me to force stop it and sometimes freezes my entire PC lol. I run a 11th gen Intel i5 11400f, RTX 2060 6gb, 8gb ddr4 ram and a 500 gb SSD I think it's a ram issue because in task manager it says I'm running about 96% ram usage in gridmap. I only run a few things on the side (discord, Spotify, sometimes the steam launcher) I used to have the same issue with other games such as Phasmophobia but after wiping my backup hardrive it fixed phas but not beamng as it's not installed on my HDD. I should be getting my new stick of ram in a few days. Wish me luck

 

I've got the problem too, and 0.25 seems like it might've made it worse

 

Yeah, im also getting similar performance like this on all maps

 

Can you keep an eye on the FPS? I'm having a similar issue but the FPS counter doesn't go down at all, it's still stable at 40-50FPS, while the game runs at 1-10fps at points.

EDIT: Also, try playing at Fullscreen mode, it fixes the issue for me for some reason. Borderless fullscreen and Windowed are the ones that have issues for me.

 

RAM usage, 0.23 with 100+ mods driving in Italy uses as much RAM as 0.25 with 0 mod driving in Gridmap

 

Hey all

1) Full screen solves the issue for me.
2) I found that if I disabled shadow play (or instant replay in shadow play) it solved the issue

Hope this helps
