Traffic lag

So I was just wondering if my traffic lag is normal or not.

I get around 75 - 85 fps in utah with one car spawned in. When I spawn traffic (3 cars) I go down to around 55 -45 fps. Just not sure if this is normal.

My specs
RTX 2060 mobile
I5 10300h (4 core 8 thread)
8GB of 2933 Mhz
256GB ssd

Thanks

Edit: I deleted reshade (no effects going) and got a good fps boost when one car is spawned. It's now 85-115 on Utah. Traffic still 45-55 average.

I run on pretty much normal settings.

 

This goddamn update really screwed this game up. AI traffic is worse and acts like gta 5's shitty ai, and the performance is absolutely abysmal compared to what it was prior. Fanboys keep trying to make me seem like I'm the crazy one when I know this game ran so much better before this annoying update. The bastion is a cool car, but I would trade it back in heartbeat to get the same consistent performance I had in 0.23. I'm not spending a fortune to get a new graphics card in this shitty day and age because of retarded price gouging gpu manufacturers, especially when the current one I have still otherwise serves me well. I built this computer back in August and was very pleased with how the game was running with 12 ai cars, especially when I could barely run it with 3 on my old computer. Sorry for the rant, just hate how it's being swept under the rug and now I'm essentially forced to get a new graphics card, especially a retardedly overpriced nvidia one, in order to keep up with the waning optimization. I really do love this game, but kind of getting a bit more than fed up.

 

Yeah, I felt like it ran better back then too. I have laptop so i cant change gpu

 

Well i didn't see any particular performance problems on my side, i'm just saying that of course the update might have fucked up your performance but it's probably hardware-specific, especially since there is indeed a problem with amd gpus and they are investigating, https://www.beamng.com/threads/performance-issues-with-amd-gpus.82716/.

 

That's a damn shame, might just have to download a less than savory copy of the previous update, and make no mistake this is not me in any way condoning or advocating p*r*cy whatsoever, especially for the likes of a great game like this, but unfortunately I'll have to resort to doing so since there's no way whatsoever to roll back to 0.23 on steam, and I really can't deal with these performance issues any longer. If other games like Assetto Corsa and modded gta 5 had a noticeable performance drop as well, that would definitely be a hardware issue on my part. But since they run exactly as decently as they did before, this update's optimization is to blame. I'm just now starting to get back into this game after a hiatus from discovering the wonders of Assetto Corsa modding, and only realizing recently how bad the performance has been since this 0.24 update.

 

Not to brag or nothing but my performance hasnt dropped even in the slightest

Still getting a solid 15fps with 3 cars

 

not gonna flex but i get 000000000000.609 fps
with 9090909909090 cars

 

Yeah, i hope they fix it soon.

 

Uninstalled the game, deleted all mods and installed from scratch. No luck. As soon as I add more than 3 traffic cars (normal quality) the FPS drops considerably and starts to stutter. (Intel 17-11700 16 cores + 32 GB RAM + GeForce RTX 3060 Ti)
I can only play with about 3 traffic cars now. I used to have 8 or even 10 with very decent FPS on High Settings.

 

That sucks. the hotfix did not really help.

 

That's very strange, you've got one hell of a pc. Have you tried in safe mode (yes I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's worth a shot)
My specs are like half of yours and I do decent with ~4-5 traffic AI. Is there anything in the background sucking up performance? Are you perhaps thermal throttling?
Yeah I'm getting an average of 60fps on JRI on ultra settings with 5 AI cars...

 

Weird that you are having these issues, my AMD 5600X (absolutely fantastic CPU for the price btw) can run BeamNG with 12 AI cars at a decent enough 35-50 fps. I have found that the CPU is very important for this game, seemingly less so with the GPU. Correct me if I'm wrong about that though.

 

I did a complete cleaning of all files this weekend, reinstalled again.
Nothing else running on the PC, only BeamNG. Single car, 160-200 FPS (no FPS limiter), added about 4 traffic (manually), I get about 60-70 FPS, but it has some stuttering every once in a while. Tried over 6 traffic cars (Stock cars) the FPS drops to about 30-40 ish. Playable. During the stutter I see the FPS going up and down constantly every second or so. If I stop the traffic and start again it seems to "resolve" for some time.
Overall GPU usage is low (< 40%), actually I have more GPU power than I need. CPU is around 60-70% for 6-8 traffic cars.
Perhaps the I7-11700 is not a very good match for this game. Thermals are fine overall.

The worst thing is that I bought this PC for the MS Flight Simulator and it runs smoothly in ultra High. I'm a little disappointed it's not working as good for BeamNG.
I'll check the Safe mode tip. in any case I can just wait the next versions or play with less traffic for the time being. Thanks anyways!

The thing is that you need a good cpu in order to run beamng drive with traffic. Though I have my cpu almost maxed out, Ryzen 9, but I also have a problem, I get worse fps than you.

 

I'm pretty sure it's just "bad" coding. I have a 3080 ti and a ryzen 3900x and i'm getting the same effect. If I have 5/6 traffic cars my gpu is working 50% and the cpu is 30% and i'm getting 35 fps
