    Hello, after the new update beam runs like crap for me. With version 0.38 this was not the case. I dont have a monster of an laptop, my specs are:

    11 gen core I5 11400H 2.70 GHz
    32 GB RAM
    4GB GPU

    Like said before, with 0.38 it run great on the "Normal'' settings. Now it runs bad on the ''LOW'' settings. Also with the new update the livery's dont load properly. I have no mods installed!

    Same as the other two, seems like a common bug

    Is there a way to remove or less the eye adaption feature? I just find it little unnecessary, especially so with my eye sight issues

    Hey devs got a question. What was the rendering budget to get the game on ps5? 60 fps? 30 fps?

    Just wait for the hotfix, or try vulkan. Lwk love and hate this update because of how many bugs there are on lower end hardware. Wish the devs put a warning on steam saying lower end hardware will experience issues.

    The idea is we show those disadvantages and don't cheat, that's the whole point of PBL and direction of graphics we took :)

    I also wish they raise the minimum hardware requirements to Ryzen 5 7600x and Rx 6900xt as I can't get a stable 30 fps with these specs

    I can barely run westcoast now. Probably partly bugs, so I hope the devs can quickly fix these issues.

    Update to my prior post; putting mods at 335 or below makes the game *load* but still can't drive any cars, even completely un-modded ones. I know my mods are all up to date, and paid mods especially. Shouldn't be this big of a fuss just to get anything working. That, and without mods the game is just too boring. Also whatever is going on in the screenshot, too. Note the error message, again all'a my mods are up to date.

    I have a gut feeling this is just due to the outdated game engine. There might not be any room left for optimizations so any graphical improvement will just decrease performance that much. I hope I'm wrong

    I've been having this issue where setting the lighting to anything other than lowest makes the vehicle look like this.
    It seems like it has something to do with reflections, perhaps the light from the sun. This artifact also appears in the area where the sun is if I turn cloud cover to its maximum value. I have seen 2 other people with the same issue. This issue also only shows up on my low-performance laptop, so I'm currently assuming that this is an issue with intel integrated graphics.

    I can't spectate AI races anymore. There was a mod called Extra AI races that had a custom UI that allowed you to select the number of cars and if you just wanted to run races in watch mode. Whilst that mode still works the new update has killed it's UI. Anyway to turn the old UI back on?

    Has anyone tried recording a replay in 0.39 so far?
    I get around 60 FPS on Small island with traffic, but as soon as I press F2, the FPS drops to 20 sometimes lower!

    When I want to see the replay footage it's around 50 FPS, but while recording, it almost drops the FPS to a third of it originally!

    I had about 216-219 mods, but when I finished checking most, if not all of them, it went down to 180-181. I think this update broke more mods than 0.28 lmao!
