    Is this because of disabled dynamic collision, or the other optimizations of the physics core?

    screenshot_00003.png It looks more because of disabling collisions. Here is my FPS:

    It also jumped!

    11 FPS really isn't the way to enjoy BeamNG. You're going to overheat that poor laptop too.

    That's why I use a cooling pad under my laptop. Without it, my laptop can melt in 5 minutes, in front of my eyes.
    That's why I love performance upgrades more than I like the content/bugfixes. Before the upgrade, I could not even load that map.

    Cooling pad does almost nothing to the components, it cools them but the temperature change is less than 0.01%. All it mainly does is cool the body.

    yeah, you're right.
    The problem of my pc is that it cannnot to get rid of warm air inside. If the computer is on a pad, it is llifted. If it is lifted, the warm air can escape.
    I've got a wooden desk. If I play Minecraft too much time without the cooling pad, my pc will melt like this:

    Exhaust vents are back and side, underneath is intake. Lifting improves intake not exhaust.

    Laptop can take a beating.

    Cpu can handle 100c without problem i had a toshiba for 10 years that was throttling all it life from high temp ahah But well the motherboard survived and cpu.

    Laptop vrm are far from the cpu and normally the fan blow air on them so they have no heat related problem ( except gpu )


    Well 10 fps is low but playable my friend played about 100 hour of apb reloaded with me at that fps lol.. ( it could not kill anyone except by mistake ) :eek:


    Seem im an gamer that can handle lagg 18-25 fps is my threshold normally Beam ng do drop on some map to 25-30fps

    Need a new gpu :(



    And cooling pad do make a difference how do i know

    I worked in a pc shop and we tested all of the one we had on the wall ( about 15 model )

    Surprisingly the 20$ coolermaster beat all of the other overpriced thermaltake at like 60$ Was just an asus laptop without gpu

    Is my GPU good for BeamNG.drive?
    My pc (the Acer) is actually having some problems in booting up. a BSOD and a consistency check. Hope it's all okay...

    - - - Updated - - -

    yes, its taking a while again to load windows... It says "wait" (in Italian, Attendi).

    - - - Updated - - -

    The BSOD says only 3 words and a code. Something like "hard internal error".
    It has not been used for only 2 days and now this happens.
    I'm worried, very worried, That's my laptop...

    - - - Updated - - -

    my pc looks frozen on the "configurazione degli aggiornamenti in corso" screen.
    I'll try a factory reset.

    Internal Hard Error alone is usually CPU crash.

    Unless it actually specifies Internal Hard HDD Error which does exist and is indeed a failed drive.



    Laptop CPUs have same thermal constraints as desktop class CPUs, they are not safe for 100c.

    the factory reset solved the issue, but I'm still worried.
    Should I change the CPU? I found a 2.5 GHz CPU thats 100% suitable for my pc. I know that because I found a lot of threads of people with my same laptop that have successfully upgraded their Acer Aspire 5920g from 1.6 GHz to 2.5. It is a T9300 and it is 100% compatible with my pc's motherboard and other components.
    But very expensive...

    Nobody in UK stocks them new, understandable considering its from the last decade.

    Ebay though. Less than £50 is hardly what I'd call expensive.

    However it will run hotter and considering yours is clearly problematic on that front already....

    I found them for around 100£... 50 isn't expensive at all :) so that cpu is perfect for my laptop. Let's do some lagless gaming, finally!!!!

    - - - Updated - - -

    I found one from USA that comes with termal paste aswell... 26 dollars, not bad!
    But not brand new.

    - - - Updated - - -

    What about the RAM? because of that, I cannot load some BeamNG.drive's maps because 4 gigs are not enough.
    What can I replace them with?
    can my laptop's hardware run 5-6 gigs of RAM?
    Is there gonna be an overheating problem with a 2.5 GHZ cpu and a nearly doubled amount of RAM?
    If yes, how can I solve that problem?

    Before buying anything, pull that thing apart, clear all the dust out, reapply thermal paste on the CPU it already has and see what happens.

    RAM wise, no idea, most likely DDR2 SODIMMs in a laptop of that age. Their power consumption and hence heat production while certainly existing, is not a huge impact versus the CPU.
    Some laptop chipsets were capped at 4gb of RAM, some 8gb, some 16. Hard to tell without just trying it or seeing if the manual says something. If there was a model with more RAM from factory then that answers the question. But a 2x4gb DDR2 SODIMM kit is a rare thing, not cheap either.



    All you need to do now is upgrade the HDD and every single user serviceable component is done :p Welcome to why laptops suck.

    There will definately be a heat problem.
    You can't fix that on laptops, as far as I know.

    More of a mod than an upgrade. As long as your laptop overheats (Meaning temperatures of the CPU/GPU don't go to high and not just the bottom getting hot) it's fine.
