Update Speculation thread

Ah, perhaps it hasn't been to long after all, then

Oh, i don't see any issue with the prolonged release schedule! I actually prefer it, as it allows the developers to work without a horrible crunch-time mindset (at least, hopefully), and also sees us ending up with much better and higher quality content upon each release.
--- Post updated ---

It could be that they've simply just made this decision recently, in the midst of the update's development, and decided to let everyone know ahead of time.

Or you could be right. I want you to be.

 

Any suspicious movement?

 

but a core 2 duo would be able to run this game no problem? the minimum requirements on the store page are an FX 6300 which has way slower single thread performance than any desktop core 2 duo

people really need to stop exaggerating how cpu demanding this game is

 

No movement at all lmao

 

Yep, for now we've seen that the ~4 month deadlines have had some half-done things left behind (and these things are/have been repeatedly reported by many of us in the respective forums - note that I'm mainly talking about the vehicles on this one), so this may also mean that the extra time available will intensify the concentration of the Quality Control crew on fixing them. Plus, this will also be the case for the new content being planned for the future.
In short, quality needs its time!

 

A 32-bit system can only use a maximum of 4GB RAM since it can't count the spaces on the RAM further than that, so I don't see a way you could run beam on 32 bit

 

I used to play on a pirated 0.7 copy of BeamNG, on a laptop with 4 GB of RAM and an integrated GPU

In case anyone's wondering, i bought the game on Steam after i got a new PC

 

That's probably a lot more accurate number. I was having a hard time finding a website that gave me the total player count.

 

I can't think of any reasonable scenario where someone would be running a 32-bit only CPU to run games. Nearly every CPU made since the mid-00's is 64-bit compatible, and the cheapest mum's-work-laptop-spec CPU from 2013 will also be 64-bit... even the Raspberry Pi has a 64-bit CPU.

I think anyone running 32-bit probably installed the wrong version of Windows. Typically the user would pick the version they want either at download or at installation, so it's conceivable that a few people would pick the wrong one and be none the wiser. I think Windows 11 is the first version that is 64-bit only.

As mentioned above, anyone running a 32-bit OS can only address ~3.5GB of memory anyway, even if you have much more installed in the system.

 

I am surprised they are people still running 32-bit.

Glad they are getting rid of 32-bit.

Also this is a bit off-topic. I am gonna just lurk the fourms from now on. I lost interest using the fourms.

 

I am not surprised some are still using 32 bit, I am surprised that resources has been spend on keeping a 32 bit version alive when according to their minimum requirements, it isn't actually supported.

 

Actually it doesn't say it's not supported, minimum requirements only states " Windows 7 Service Pack 1" but the recommend specs well recommends Windows 10 64 Bit but i guess that once 32 Bit goes away even the minimum will say 64 Bit or outright saying 32 Bit incompatible

 

But the minimum is 8 gb of ram. 32 bit only supports up to 4 gb.

 

Well.. maybe there's an error or the specs are not updated, don't know we'll see once 0.25 comes out if the specs have changed but yeah my bad

 

Ok... so what's your pronostic for the car on the drawn ? Wich we will get a reveal today (If I've understand correctly)

 

32-bit hardware is something that has basically been nuked from every single support channel possible. Most mainstream OS's, even those that got their start mainly on 32-bit PCs, have dropped support. Fedora, Ubuntu, and most notably Windows no longer have a 32-bit version of their most recent OS versions. tdev noted that the game has gotten to be so big that they have to manually get every game update manually approved by hb. Coming from experience, this game runs like trash in 32-bit mode. It provides no benefits, and it takes up game space. It should probably have been removed when Vista support was dropped 5 years ago.

 

The minimum specs probably are the minimum you need to play the game smoothly, but the game is still (barely) playable with lower specs

 

Only 1 mod was submitted to the repository today, does that give us a chance of something happening? It's not a holiday or anything, is it?

 

Well, most updates come around at this time, so lets wait, a little bit more, or maybe the update will come another day

 

Teaser Tuesday?
maybe?​

possibly?
hopefully?​
