Laggy and unusable menu screen

So recently, the game updated to the latest 0.16.0.3, and ever since I can't play. Now, this isn't the black screen issue, but what it is is an issue that prevents me from navigating the menu so I can load a map. The menu is too laggy. Also,after countless hours of trying to fix it, I noticed my GPU started coil whining (which it never did before) and now some games have artifacting. Great, not only can I not play BeamNG anymore, but I can't play any games anymore because my GPU died. Thanks guys, really great work you did on the past 3 bug fixed!

 

How much ram do you have?

This can help me narrow down things,

16GB of DDR4

 

Dude it’s not the devs fault, as of right now, you are the only one to have this issue. It’s quite possible it was something on your end. Correlation doesn’t always equal causation.

 

I do agree.

Ok. So with the rise of the 0.11 hotfix (23-24/10/17) My game stopped. A few weeks later a bug was pushed. I doubt it will be a few months later m8. Beamng (no offence) have been a bit snappier with all of there stuff. I do hope i does work soon.


Also? Would you like me to look for a cheaop gpu for you.
Just post your preffered gpu in and ill look for it.

 

Here is a video i took, and I can't access the settings

 

that is rather frustrating when you say "have you tried using the experimental 'Hardware Accelerated User Interface' setting in Options > Graphics" since you are assuming the menu works... i think it is because for the all of v16 it simply "did not work", one of them was a black screen, the others was a menu on pause literally from the lag. like when i say pause, i mean you would need a MILLION times more power to use the UI... not "exaggerating" to make it look big, the menu "IS" on pause in it's absolute literal sense. and there is no more option in "game-settings.ini" file to circumvent the option. when ever people had the problem "they never clicked it off" they went in the file editing the "true" value to false by hand. (that is now missing from the file.)

sorry if i sound salty but why does it default to ON now and has no settings in the ini file anymore? especially when v0.15 was butter smooth 100% full performance! like the v0.16 UI runs like i would be running the game with "Prime95" in the background running except the CPU is not higher than 30%... but it behaves like it was 100%. i wonder if i could get a tool to measure my GPU usage to know if THAT is at 100%.

EDIT: most of that stands but i figured out that you simply forgot to put "uiAcceleratedRender = false" in the "game-settings.ini" located in "Documents\BeamNG.drive\settings" by default in the update...

right now it needs to be manually added.

 

Sure thing https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon there you go, just click column headers with right mouse and select GPU to be displayed:

That is handy tool to figure out bit of what is going on.

 

i maybe should not be saying that but i NEVER owned a copy of windows since i am totally poor... (i own one pair of pants, not kidding, only one, and i stupidly bought 2 games at once nearing 100$ and hate my self for it lol) hence why i have to ask seeing the name "Microsoft" in the name... do i need a Genuine Windows License for that? or is that a program made by some other company? (odd i fear other companies less since a virus can be detected but Microsoft hides stuff to lock those Windows versions in the updates and all...)

 

It is super simple program, a tool for power users, not some horrible Microsoft thing for average users, so no it does not even come with a installer, does not care about anything but to show information like task manager, but lighter to run and shows more useful information.

 

not that i am anti MS (well maybe anti windows 10 tho...) but the irony i need the higher tier of Windows to support my 32 GB RAM since home versions stops at 8 or 16 i think... Ultimate can go up to 192... i wonder why they bother locking stuff like that and not just focus on functionality per windows type... Ultimate is Basically Pro plus Enterprise... they should have made a Gamer version with Max Ram and security online but no remote Desktop and Encryption of Drives...

Thanks for the offer, but I am good. Game still unplayable

My game is still unplayable. Send help.

Then I suggest all of you buy me a new PC, because I have had problems with this game for 2 years now, and currently its unplayable. I can't try to reinstall it 5 times a day since i got 7mbs internet. This is outrageous, and I can't be the only one having issues.

 

Sorry m8. Im saving up for a gaming pc meself.

 

This thread makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

 

Idk. I just briefly read it.

 

I hereby say that I have fixed the issue. For anyone still having trouble, just add this into the game-settings notepad file. This file is found in the settings folder located in Libraries>Documents>BeamNG.drive>settings. Just add this string below the 'rpmLedsEnabled = false' string: 'uiAcceleratedRender = false'. I hope it helps!

 

That is what Nadeox1 mentioned in post #8 https://www.beamng.com/threads/laggy-and-unusable-menu-screen.62547/#post-1026722
