Vulkan is great... but the traffic is problematic.

    Hello BeamNG community.
    I have a question related to BeamNG Vulkan.
    I'm on v0.33.1 and I love it. However, my laptop (Dell G16 7620; RTX 3060 laptop GPU; Intel i7-12700H; 32GB of Crucial RAM [16GB][16GB]) has trouble running the game at a high framerate with high graphical settings on Direct3D11, but on Vulkan, it's extremely fast (60-70FPS with high-refreshing-rate mirrors, normal/high settings). However, when I try to spawn in traffic, my game completely freezes after spawning the cars in. It's stuck on the loading screen for way too long, and eventually I have to alt+f4 and end the task. My question is, how do I make traffic work? In my testing, spawning even 1 car using the traffic UI map permafreezes the game. So does launching traffic from the Radial Menu.
    What do I do?

    I use Vulkan regularly. Vulkan gives me better fps when I have traffic spawned in, so I just use it all the time. Aside from a few visual glitches and the UI sometimes doing some weird stuff, it works pretty well for me.

    I don't think I've ever had the game freeze or crash when loading traffic in Vulkan...

    Dude, that's like telling a guy who could only afford a '98 Civic si to go buy a new Supra.

    And it seems to be a half decent setup to begin with. Better than mine.

    no its more along the lines of saying to someone that you cannot expect your civic to do the same things as a new supra

    Try to enable 'spawn with traffic' in DX11 version, close game, launch in Vulkan. Works for me. Maybe it needs to compile some shaders or something
