Update Speculation thread

The only way to release part 1 and 2 together is to delay 0.24 release until part 2 is ready. I much prefer to have some amount of new content right now and some later than to wait an unknown amount of time to get a bigger batch of content.

 

Though if it means content in part 1 has more time to go through testing and quality control then i'd rather wait. I'd rather have finished content later than unfinished content earlier.

 

Apart from issues with the UI (which I still consider an improvement overall, even with bugs), I haven't met any bugs or broken stuff.

 

I have noticed that my game is a lot slower over all. The new UI is interesting, but not very polished.

 

I guess there's gonna be a Hellcat like variant of the Bruckell Bastion. damn that engine would definitely go well in alot of vehicles as an engine swap.

 

I think everyone should take it easy, talking to the ones who are "disappointed" in the lack of content in new update.
I imagine the UI/MAP update itself is something that could take great time to actually make, so it isn't a tiny thing that it might seem to others.
They have already stated a holiday update will be released which will include the brand new car among other things. I imagine it will have a great amount of things in it.
About bugs, there will never be an update without any bug, sorry to say.

Also talk about looking for issues lol, it seems like many of you guys get into the update with a vision of finding all the bad parts of it. I really don't understand that part.

 

Look. there were gonna replace the UI soon always. I agree that the new UI should taken more time to polish and finish. However. I don't want the Old UI design back. I think The UI was aright but could have been better with more time.

 

UI is mostly about personal preference. So, there is no wonder people have problems with it as they can't get used to it or it is buggy.

I find it wayyyy better than it ever was. Finally no lag, nearly 100% smooth transitions to different things, less clicks and ieverything is more polish.

Definitely not without minor bugs like the radial circle, missing AI settings in the esc menu (i find that crucial becuase that is almost the only reason I'm using radial menu & AI apps are just too big), the UI apps cannot be scaled like before (it doesn't responds), the traffic tool doesn't minimise itself.

 

The (now removed) Bolide wheels remind me of the Pantera somewhat (possibly the group 4 one?)

 

I think I prefer the old ui, I just wish it was faster. Then again, when you have something for 5 years you start to like it. (I also prefer the old loading screens too) This ui is muuuuuch faster though.

 

Indeed, I personally would like someone to make a mod with the old ui, just for the nostalgia. (if it dose't break the whole game of course)

 

That’s not possible because mods aren’t allowed to change game files.
--- Post updated ---
Hopefully part 2 addresses some of the performance problems on Radeon, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes much longer. Sounds like a pretty difficult thing to fix

 

And as an added treat, we wanted to let you know that just in time for the holidays you can expect a content update that will be bringing a new contender to the game’s lineup: the Bruckell Bastion, an American muscle car that can take on all comers with style. Keep an eye on our social media for clues to the other contents of the holiday update!


My request is finally confirmed DDD, i always asked about a new modern car with alot of engine options.....
this vehicle will probably be my next most driven beamng car after the ETK800

 

me lol. I'm not saying it's a problem, it's just a general thing that happens with new updates cause omg so many new things to try out.

It was going to happen either way. Especially
the main menu. It was a fine menu, but it pretty basic looking. As for the side menu (well, now the top menu,) I don't mind it, I think it's fine. Just will take some getting used to.

 

I think the UI is good. There’s stuff to get used to for it and new controls I still have to rebind, but I think it’s an improvement. I do miss having a light mode though…

 

Can we just talk about how the turbocharged Pessima is a thrill to drive? My new standard car is a 2.0 Pessima with a stage 1 turbocharger. Not overpowered, looks good and drives great.

 

I wonder what type of engines and how many are in this vehicle Mabey even a hybrid!? hybrid doesn't seem likely though because it is a modern muscle car. looks like the ford Taurus so I wonder if it will have AWD versions.

 

Need to agree. Although it's FWD it handles very nicely.

 

I imagine it’ll have a v8 and V6, maybe a turbocharged i4. Not sure about awd… could be possible.
