Update Speculation thread

That's a strange update speculation....

 

I do think this thread should be locked until we get something new from the developers. It's been really quiet these past few months.

 

what, why? It's okay to speculate, even if devs are quiet as usual.
Just because some people can't help themselves with going off topic, doesn't mean it should affect everyone else.

 

I agree, let's get back to update speculation! The BeamNG.tech Linux port is scheduled for 0.24, think it'll come to BeamNG.drive?

 

what linux port?

 

This one.

 

can you link plz

 

Here you go

 

I hope it does come to 0.24. I wonder if that is part of the reason for this being a longer update cycle. Stability and bug fixing for a new platform will be a serious endeavour for the team. I wish them the best of luck, I can't wait to install a native version

 

I think that once they get vulkan stable, there won't really be that much problems left.

 

It would not only be a serious endeavor, it would probably take a complete rewrite of the game's code. I also wish them the best of luck with it, even if it is a BeamNG.tech exclusive.

 

I don't think so, most of the code should work on linux, the problem was the game engine was only compatible with windows, but with Vulkan there won't be this problem.

 

Well, it is used for the driver training scenario, and removing it make impossible to complete the scenario.

 

Not to mention coolest game mode "random generating tracks" that also are on ETK map,

 

Remove the scenario. Problem solved.

 

the ETK map isn't going to be removed, it's likely going to get some sort of remaster/overhaul like the other maps have. I wouldn't be surprised if the highway expanded into a large high speed one which would be great to have

 

Yeah, one giant highway loop would be cool, since the map isn't really that intensive for people with lower end hardware. And the current stretch is not that long anyway..

 

i think it would be good if they added a minivan like the honda odyssey
