Performance issue with traffic

Hello, i've been noticing some poor performance when playing with traffic, specially on the map Italy, because of the cenario garage to garage. I've been playing it with 15 to 20 fps and when I used MSI Afterburner with RTSS to understand the situation i've noticed that my VRAM usage was the limitator, my configs are a Ryzen 5 1600, GTX 1060 3gb, and 16gb RAM DDR4 3200MHz. I know that i have low memory, but not too long ago i've used to play the same cenario with much better performance. And actually Beam NG is the only game that i am having trouble with performance, iRacing i play on the high settings with more than 60 fps all the time, and when the fps goes down it only reaches 59 fps, and the other games i never had performance issues.
Well, this is my problem, i haop someone can help me and before every thing else thank you for your attention and sorry for any language mistake, i am not fluent in english. Have a good day!

 

I was having the same issue but couldn't find a solid solution so I tried this.

I reduced the traffic from 10 to 7. Didn't really work so I turned on simplified collision physics (should be the last option in gamplay) which solved the perfomance issues. I then switched it back on(because BeamNG) and there is still a small bit of lag but way better than before. Only thing is I have to this every time I want A.I. for every map.

Hope this helps.

 

The VRAM is really the limiting factor here, with those many AI, other games aren't as intensive with multiple ai compared to beam, I've noticed, it is a bit nuts

 

It's not just you and the same thing happens to me. Ever since this december update, my performance has been severely gimped when it ran perfectly fine before.
