I enjoy the new update, but...

Hey guys, I am not one to complain about BeamNG usually, but, I can't let this slide. As much as I love the new update with scenarios, I dislike it more. What this update has done, is add some neat features which are fun, but has killed the game from a graphical point of view. Before the update, I could run the game easily at the capped 60 FPS, and I was fine with that. It could run multiple cars nice and easily. Now, my game now lags, looks grainy, and textures of vegetation are has gone to a level where I simply wish I could turn them off.

I don't want to make the devs feel bad, but honestly, I feel like they have gone with a quantity over quality approach with this update. The graphical fidelity of the game has gone down to the point where my frame rate is about 15-20, even though I am running a 780 Ti and a decent CPU. Since no one else mentioned it, I felt the need for it to come to attention. I am just going to say, I know from the Skype chat, some users are not happy with the graphics, but are not willing to bring it to light. I speak on behalf of the community.

No denying, the trees look nice, but the grass... not so much. Also, just going to say, the speedometer spazzes out, but I ignore it.

I am in no way saying the devs did a bad job on the update, and I want to stress my appreciation for what they are trying to make work.

Thank you, pf12351.

Didn't really want to seem like I'm complaining but meh. I also have FPS issues on this update.

I have the same fps as always... Granted its like 20 on a good day on gridmap, but still

 

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, no FPS issues yet and GFX is better so far. Having serious issues getting vehicle mods in game
but levels seem good.

 

I was getting a solid 60 fps with up to 5 vehicles, now i can barely get 20 with one. Also the graphics have seem to be downgraded crazy amounts. Plus the game starts in a res my computer doesn't support even after changing it which is strange.

 

I don't have any FPS issues.
I'd even say that it runs a bit faster for me than before.

 

If you look at the grass in front of the tree on the right, infront of the D15, it looks a lot different than before... I dunno why. I maxed my settings out, so... yea.

 

It isn't one of my major issues, my biggest issue is the graininess of the cars now... look at the D15 bed. Geebus!

 

It was never bad enough for me to realise it honestly. Also, check out the rear window, just noticed that one.

 

Ambient occlusion setting to high in PostFX settings?

 

Is me or is postFX selection gone?

 

For some reason I can't enable antialiasing, kind of killing me.


Voila.

 

I'd like to point out nVidia's newer, post-Maxwell 2nd gen drivers were also found to be actively crippling Kepler and Fermi performance in synthetic and real world performance. Conspiracy or not, it might be worth trying to roll back to pre-900 series drivers.
