    For some reason, with this new installation of Windows 10, I've noticed that my maps in BeamNG will not load until I do the thing which I mentioned above. The loading progress just stops until I bring up the dialogue window, cancel it, and then bring it up again. Each time, it causes it to load a little further, then stop again.

    What gives?

    Perhaps it had something to do with my unreliable internet connection which I had whilst I was performing the original installation of BeamNG. Thanks—I'll try re-installing the game (hopefully on better internet, soon).

    Well, I re-installed the entire game, and this issue is still present. The game also crashes minutes into game-play, and an error window tells me that my GPU went unresponsive. This is a clean installation of Windows 10, and my graphics drivers were installed properly. Granted, I wonder if it's an issue with Windows 10. I almost feel like going back to Windows 7.

    Just re-installed the graphics drivers; and, while it did manage to fix the loading issues, the game still managed to crash after around 30 minutes or so of game-play. That's better than before, but the issue is still not entirely fixed. Also, my entire game is not as fast as it used to be. I am noticing a slight decrease in FPS. Probably has something to do with the newly-installed graphics drivers, or maybe the fact that the game hasn't cached fully yet... IDK.

    That's kinda different from the issue in the first post.
    That happens if it manages to load?
    It could be a video driver issue. Reinstalling could help.
    EDIT- Just needed to scroll a bit to see that reinstall fixed that.


    For the crash, give me a Support ID, so that I can check:

    Okay, I will do that. Yes, this is a little different from my first post. I forgot to mention that the game has been crashing, and that I have been receiving fewer FPS on certain maps. The issue with loading is fixed now (ever re-installing the game and updating my GPU drivers); however, these two former issues are still present.

    Okay, here is the ID I received after the game crashed: 26542.
    For good measure, I also restarted the game and tried sending files again; the ID from that is 26543.

    -Thanks

    The crash I'm seeing here is caused by the video driver ( atidxx64.dll )
    Is your card overclocked? If so, return it to stock settings.

    My card is not overclocked. How should I go about resetting this? I updated the drivers and it fixed nothing. I guess I could try uninstalling them entirely and re-installing with the original DVD that came with the card.


    EDIT: researched some more and found out that AMD's drivers are at fault. Someone was able to fix things by manually dialing-in the card's clock. Yikes... I want AMD to fix this.

    I changed the temperature threshold, which allowed my GPU to stay cooler and run longer, but it did eventually end up crashing (albeit much later). Bad drivers.
