what about v0.2? did that ever even exist

 

v0.3.8.1 is the earliest version I have found on Microsoft Bing. I even resorted to "BeamNG Drive 0.2.0 free download", "BeamNG Drive 0.1.0 free download" and page 8 of all things! ByteGuy is probably right, v0.3.0.5 must be the earliest available version.

 

that makes Gregory TheGamer a joker or a liar

I've seen a couple of Youtube channels that have a version in the specific range I'm seeking that have uploaded a video of that version. Anything after 2015 is a good source to chase, so (0.3.7.6):
- Serzari
- The Beamng Time Machine

another update on the TDv2 project: it's not just hard coded to crash if meshes are changed after a reload is called, it's ALSO hardcoded to crash if you tell it to spawn a car other than the pickup when you open up a map
and I'd suspect this is baked into the actual --- libbeamng.x86.DLL file and not anything to do with the other files since I literally can't find anything even by searching the entire game folder with vscode
If any of you have 0.3.7.6 sitting on your PC somewhere, can you send me these particular files?
You can easily spot it just by looking in the bottom right corner of your screen after booting up the game.

the reason why I need these files is that dnSpy feeds me... memory addresses, maybe?

 

Not quite

this is a picture of the menu of the version i was sent,
Didnt realise it was so old

 

99% sure I had played the version preceding this one: https://www.beamng.com/game/news/blog/version-0-3-02/ and yes it does say august 29th, 2013. That doesn't mean the game wasn't available before that. There is no record of any version preceding 0.3.02, but not everything is on the record. It's worth mentioning that this was close to a decade ago and I speak from my memories. Doesn't make me either a joker or a liar.

Looks to be either the very first (minor) update or the very first version at all. Pretty sure I did play before August, but my memories from those days aren't what they used to be.

 

From my knowledge the game was released August 4th 2013, the version in the picture has august 5th, so it is probably a minor update

 

another update on the TD

you make a good case. memories do degrade
maybe you've still got it sittin around somewhere on an old computer that you probably don't have

 

probably

I do have a computer from those days but the data that was on it is long gone. The hard drive, while alive, has long since been re-purposed and reformatted multiple times. No chance that I have the very first version of the game stored anywhere.

 

Just found this on the same external HDD when i searched for 0.3.0
I win

In all seriousness though, I cant exactly remember when I got this version. It must have been sitting on this drive for at least nearly a decade...

 

You think I could release Fall Island USA on the Repo with some little tweaks

Working on turning Fall Island into the RiaSC map (not a lot of work but I'll put good work in it)

 

A true OG lol. Awesome that we've you've actually found V0.3.0!

We need to pool these into a Google drive or something (link can only be given through dms, obv)

 

with dev permission probably

 

Maybe we can give the files to the devs and see if they do anything with em

 

The guy who sent me the 0.3.0.1 version did it without dev permission I believe (i even put him in the credits of the 0.3 vehicle mod and no staff member has messaged be about it or anything like that) and I couldn’t find any elua/files saying that you couldn’t send the files to other people, but dev permission would probably be ideal since its there game after all like you said

 

Will make g drive soon, send the link to everyone who's shown a version of the game off

 

The developers should do something similar to Minecraft, gathering old versions people dig up and putting them under the Steam beta tab

 

hell yea
make a beta branch on steam, upload every one of the versions onto that branch, and call it something like "Pre-Race alpha"
or just make a billion alpha brances to each one

More work has been done on the Pre Small Island mod. Forests are being worked on (JRI trees work really well!) and the old grass has been recreated based off of a single snip n sketch and some crossreffing.

 

how would i go about accesing this googel drive if you want proof here is proof i own it
