Vulkan API – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

Is RX7600 too slow for Beamng? (

 

No, what are your settings? Try lowering texture and lighting first.

 

i recommend clearing the games cache and deleting old game folders, this game ALWAYS has a problem after a new big update in vulkan, i would fix these issues myself if i knew how to. dont forget to clear the vulkan cache its the most important. if that didnt help try reinstalling that helped me once for vulkan. Theres a problem after every update for vulkan but idk what the problem is. once DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and installing new drivers fixed the issue.

I wanna report an issue where Beamng takes up so much ram where it just crashes in the loading screen. i have 16gbs and almost everytime i load into west coast it crashes (code was something like stack buffer overload idk), i have to load it in dx11 first then restart the game in vulkan to load in otherwise it doesnt work, this got even worse in 0.34. i feel like something with the code how the maps and stuff loads in the game could be changed to fix that, also another issue where you could end up with very low performance after every big update. and a question, Do the cars get preloaded when loading into a map? cartextures and more maybe.

It happend again its so annoying please do something
BeamNG 0.34.1.0 0xC0000409 STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN

 

are the supported gpus still the same? cause since a few updates back I'm getting this on the linux port,
2.63200|W|init| Failed to create Vulkan device from AMD Radeon R9 Fury Series (RADV FIJI): ErrorFeatureNotPresent
2.63201|E|init| missing vk feature bellow:
2.63202|E|init| features2 sparseResidencyBuffer
and on windows i get just an error saying my gpu does not support vulkan.

 

I was testing Vulkan on the system listed below until update 0.33, when I started seeing this error:


System specs:
Xeon E31220 @ 3.1gHz
16gb RAM
Nvidia Quadro K2200 GPU
Windows 10 Pro

Here are the nVidia driver details:


I've tried clearing cache and launching in "vulkan safe" mode. I understand that this GPU is old but it did work in the past, I swear! lol
I even played using my VR headset for a bit, which was amazing.

Since the Vulkan render pipeline is still under development, maybe some failure details from my old workstation working and then not working can help?


I don't know if it uploaded the .zip of logs or not. If not, I can reproduce the error and generate a new one

 

when switching to AI cars, my fps drops to 15 frames, and after removing traffic, everything returns to normal. This only happens in vulcan mode.

 

Holy crap happened to me. I do all you said, then launch beamng in vulkan. Amd driver thrown me an error and my pc gone black screen. It completely ruined my GPU. I take it off from pc and installed my old gpu, started pc and then put in my 7600. Black screen gone and all works as normal. I cannot belive that i paid 12$ for this game and it nearly ruined my pc.

 

I tried vulkan for the first time and the performance is better .
I am playing with vsync @60fps and CPU cores utilization dropped from 2.2(DX11) to 1.6(VK) and GPU usage from 91% to 85%. CPU & GPU with locked frequencies.
Tested on WC USA, industrial area starting position. During first 3min. of driving I noticed 18 one frame glitches, mostly geometric shapes over screen, completly black frames and also frames with lowered exposure(or gamma/saturation changes).
Nvidia 566.14 driver. Screens zipped in attachment.

 

TEXTURE QUALITY: LOWEST causes an instant crash while loading MODDED levels on VULKAN.
there is nothing out of the ordinary in the beamng.log, as people have reported before me with the same issue, and mine is no different, nor is there anything unusual in the terminal on linux. i can't see what is the error code neither, because i'm running natively and there isn't a window "fatal error: error code numbers" and so on
this was stupid. what could've possibly happened to textures in 0.34?

 

99% on gpu is a good thing lol. 99% on a cpu is a bad thing

 

I have a problem with where every now and then while playing the screen will flicker for about 1-3 frames with random colours or stretched textures I'm really not sure. Vulkan used to run perfectly before about version 0.31. I have verified my files on steam and all is good there, I have verified my files in beamNG and it says its missing a file called 'vcruntime140_1.dll'. I do have this file in its correct spot but I decided to install Visual Studio 2015 redistribute pack which may be a fix for it but that didn't work so I ran it again and did a repair of it, didn't work so then I uninstalled the pack and installed again, still didn't work. I tried running safe mode, clearing cache both normal and deep, finally I uninstalled and fresh installed BeamNG. Still the problem persists. The graphical glitch only happens in Vulkan and seems to start of slow and begin happening more as I play longer, I think it happens on more performant heavy maps because I feel as it occurs more on WestCoast. Today I did a world scenario on west coast (drift one at top of radio tower near redwood trees) and it was happening way more after about 20 minutes, more than I had seen it do before about 3 glitches every 30 seconds.

Apart from just consistent playtime on a map I can't find any pattern or trigger to this glitch. From what I can see none of my resources/ gpu,ram,cpu are maxing out. usually Ram is 60% cpu about 20-40% and gpu 5-35%.
I don't have any problems with other games that use vulkan so I am unsure how to fix.


Graphical glitches happen at 0:04 0:07 0:18 0:20 0:32 And a freeze frame of each one at the end of the video.

My specs are:
i9-10850K
Gigabyte 3080 Ti
32GB of Ram at 3000MHz
Game is installed on 970 Evo 1TB SSD
Windows 10 Version 22H2
Nvidia driver 566.14

Edit: For me there is a bandaid fix for this by turning only the lighting to 'lowest' in graphics

 

I somehow can't boot up anymore, have always been able to boot up just fine, i haven't changed anything. BeamNG 0.34.2.0 0xC0000374 STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION

 

Been experiencing this too, on two different computers. I noticed that it happens a lot more often on my laptop, which has a lower end GPU compared to my desktop.

 

It has probably been one or two updates since I last played, but I always had the vulkan rendering toggled on. I'm now getting crashes right at launch.

 

After some testing I have found that it is to do with lighting or what ever the lighting graphical setting controls because on the very lowest of graphics the glitch hasn't appeared. Even if I turn all graphics to max/Ultra and turn lighting to 'lowest' the glitch doesn't happen but the second I turn it to low or any other quality higher than 'lowest' it starts happening immediately. I tried putting it on 'low' with all the postFX(?) turned off, things like depth of field, motion blur, bloom, light rays, ambient occlusion and anti-aliasing (all the setting that say are disabled by turning on lowest) and still the glitch happens. Hopefully this information can help.

 

Game version: 0.34.2.0
Having this issue since about 0.33 i believe.

The issue you’ve noticed:
Wrong frame ordering. No video available unfortunately. Imagine you are rotating the camera around your vehicle and every few hundred ms you see a few frames from about 200ms ago. Notable is how the fps is varying.

Game runs smooth at 60 fps (with vsync).
Once this issue appears the fps is rapidly changing between 40-70. And cpu usage goes up.

This happens when:
1. Run the game with vulkan
2. Set the game to windowed mode (not borderless)
3. Enable vsync
4. Play the game

Issue appears sometimes in just a minute, sometimes in a hour, sometimes never.
Once it does appear the game keeps running no problem. But once i close it, the graphics driver crashes after a few seconds.

As such the game log doesnt contain a crash log because it doesnt crash.

Alternate
1. Run the game with vulkan
2. Set the game to windowed mode (not borderless)
3. Spam vsync on and off
4. Suddenly the entire system will hangup, the gpu driver crash the game with it too (heap allocation error)
(thats why i believe this issue is vsync related)

my game crashes even after clearing the cache

Log:

 

vulkan doesn't work for me when I'm in game for around 1 minute the game completely freeze then not responding then crashes. my laptop spec is RTX 3060 laptop GPU and a 11th gen i9 11900h and i think it should run vulkan can anyone help please?

 

Issue: game black screens everytime when loading in with vulkan

recreatable: everytime

only mods even installed are not from the repository, i only have Bell 407(disabled), and BeamMP

game would black screen and even crash on start up before i cleared the cache, so this is actually a bit of progress from how bad it used to be.

steam says all files integrity is perfect, the launcher says one dependency is missing, but gives no information for what it is. I have reinstalled the game numerous times for other issues, this issue persists through every single time i reinstall. my drivers and the game is up to date.
issue has also been occuring for months
FOUND MISSING DEPENDENCY

specs: B550-A Pro motherboard
ryzen 5 5500
RTX 3060

i found out that the game is fully functional behind the blackscreen image that i posted, i managed to spawn in somewhere and start driving around, while the screen stayed as shown in the picture. this is also after reinstalling the game, and clearing the cache again
launched the game, changed it to windowed, switched back to vulkan, and it works?
game does not work when launching in vulkan fullscreen or borderless

 

launched the game in vulkan api after putting it into Fullscreen, rather than borderless or windowed to see if that worked and it literally blue screened my computer. this has never once happened and i strongly believe it was solely caused by BeamNG
