Linux Port – Feedback, Known Issues, and FAQ

i use arch btw

 

Hello, I've noticed the case-sensitive issue was solved. I'd like to try it. Where is the mod folder for the native version? I can't find a "mods" folder in

Code:

/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/BeamNG.drive

, or is it somewhere else?

 

Thanks! It works perfectly.

Unrelated, I think I've found a bug that may affect the Windows version too: When arranging the UI Apps, it accounts for the bottom bar occupied space, and when we exit the editor, some Apps snap to the bottom of screen, becoming distant from the other apps. Screen shots to illustrate:

 

I'd just spanwd on gridmap, did nothing, I have no mods in my folder yet, and went to open freefroam selection map, and the first time, it was normal text, but no maps, the second time, I got this weird text error happening too. I had to relaunch. I also had an issue with it not allowing me to click too, so I restarted a few times, trying to find the log file, and it'd been written over by that point, so I don't have it to share, sorry

 

strange it works fine here? (though there was a patch recently again - 0.37.1.0.0), might be fixed now?

 

Same

 

Hey, since your mod is officially "dead", what about Zeit's graphics mod? Will that be dead too?

 

No problem here with the wayland command, minimap works nicely. Mesa 25.2.2 drivers

 

Edit: Ignore what I said here: I don't know why I keep reporting issues with graphics drivers to the BeamNG devs like they'd have any chance at fixing any of the bugs, heh.

There's currently the following thread discussing this issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3067

 

The flickering is finally fixed, good job!

The only thing that is still missing on my end is the possibility to use the G27's DPAD.

 

I have this same issue, I didn't know other people were also experiencing it so I kind of just ignored it. Thanks for reporting that.

 

The game at first worked well for me on Ubuntu but at some random point when I launched the game the UI never loaded? The game window opened and it wasn't even black it was completely clear. Yes my drivers are up to date and yes i ran it in safe mode, I don't know why this is happening. When I run the game in the console it initializes my GPU and then just stops doing anything.

 

Out of curiosity... How do you start the game in safe mode in the native version?

 

just ran

Code:

strings BeamNG.drive.x64 | grep safe

which yielded

Code:

-safemode

. I just tried it and it works.

Some more things that look like arguments, which I'm curious to try:
(A lot of these probably won't work due to being tooling parameters)

Code:

strings ./BeamNG.drive.x64 | grep '^-'

Grepping for "PRIVATE KEY" has me concerned. I hope you devs didn't put any credentials into the executable...

Interesting, BeamNG.Tech also seems to be part of the executable. And here I was thinking that you'd get an entirely different one.

 

Noticed something weird with automatic shifting. Sometimes after braking, it refuses to shift up from the first gear, until I brake again. Video hopefully attached.

 

i only noticed such behaviour after modifying ecu settings of throttle/reving to too high numbers
