    Who else plays BeamNG with under 16 GB of RAM? I play on a laptop with 15.6 GB of RAM. It is terrible. With AI, I sometimes get as low as 6 FPS when playing, and the laptop gets hot to the touch often. I actually have played other games on it with no problem, such as the Forza Horizon series.

    You're misunderstanding that, you have 16gb it's just that only 15.6gb is usable (the 400mb you're "missing" is negligible anyway) which is because your laptop is equipped with integrated graphics, so your laptop is reserving a bit of your RAM as a substitute for VRAM, which the iGPU doesn't have

    I play 8gb ram but only 7.8 is usable. I get 40-50 fps on Utah with low settings except lighting quality with it on lowest and no anisotropic filtering. I play on 1600 x 900 and with shadows enabled. Wish I had a better pc for £700.

    Then again, it is a light office pc and it is an All in One so it's meant to fool silly people getting ripped off by this.
