0.16 Discussion Thread

Since when does the Midsize now have Subframes?!

 

0.16. Now that I think about it, I wonder if that would make it a little bit more RWD-swappable than usual... I mean, I've never heard of a midsize family sedan having subframes, but that's just begging for someone to come along and make upgraded subframes the way they do for some muscle cars.

 

I thought it was a mod conflict lol.

 

Most modern unibody vehicles have a front subframe, the entire engine, trans, and front suspension are mounted on it. It's mostly for manufacturing reasons, the entire drivetrain can assembled in one unit in the subframe, then dropped into the unibody.

 

I like esbr

 

When I Open The Game The UI Lags A Bunch Ever Since I Turned On GPU Rendering. I Cant Even Turn It Off Because When I Click On Options It Does Nothing But Sit In The Menu Screen.

 

I'm not sure if it's been talked about, but I used to be able to reset the zoom in or out in for the in cabin/drivers seat camera, and now it won't reset and just adjusts it for all cars. Other cameras will reset to their original position, but the in cabin camera won't and it doesn't look right anymore. Is there a way to fix it to reset? Thanks.

 

ok this V0.16 patch you just rolled out is a TOTAL FAILURE! there is no more software Rendering option! that means there is only the experimental GPU infinite lag. i do not see the setting in game-settings.ini for software rendering anymore... so i cannot play the game at all now...

EDIT: put "uiAcceleratedRender = false" in the "game-settings.ini" located in "Documents\BeamNG.drive\settings"

it was supposed to be there but was apparently forgotten.

 

Have you attempted to start game in safe mode from the launcher?

 

OK that is odd! i just did what you suggested indirectly in that question and it loaded fine... how the heck can a mod make the UI LAG... i mean in game maybe the APPS but in the menu... that is rather confusing... now i guess i will have to figure out what mod is doing that... (i cannot be maps, nor cars since they have nothing to do with a UI... must be an APP.)

 

In safe mode, GPU accelerated UI is disabled, probably not necessarily a mod, but for example reshade can make lag. It can be that GPU accelerated UI being off is reason why lag is gone in your case.

Still worth to check without mods and especially without any reshade to see if game launches then without lag in normal mode.

Just not sure if safe mode can be used to disable GPU accelerated UI, maybe tick box and untick in safe mode, maybe it writes option then and thing works again when launching normally.

 

tho "Nadeox1" said:

Do this:

1. Launcher > Manager User Folder > Open in Explorer > 'settings' folder > open 'game.settings.ini' with notepad
2. Find 'uiAcceleratedRender'. If it's to false, change to true, or viceversa.
   
3. Save the file, check again.

Also please give us a Support ID, so that we can gather some information about what's happening there:

meaning he thinks the "uiAcceleratedRender" option is still there but it is not... so i wonder where it would write it if it still does... (tho i replied not even having saw that post since i was already doing this and came here once it stopped working.)

 

I think it is uiRenderGPU = false

Although that might be what it was in 0.16.0.2 as that is what I'm running now as my setup has some rather unique issue with 0.16.0.3 which might be only with windows 8.1 with specific build or only in my machine.

Anyway put that to last line of game-settings.ini and try with that.

 

ok i tested and it is "not mods", it simply needs me to use "Safemode"... i wonder if that Reshade has an option separate that i could turn off... since i just played and got perfect performance like in V0.15 like i need a Safe Mode with mods all on...

ok before posting this i tested 3 times , 1 the safe mode works, 2nd your uiRender = false and it did not work and was erased from the settings file automatically... then i tried "uiAcceleratedRender = false" and that worked... they messed up by NOT having it be written in the ini file they must of forgotten to make the option put than in. well i guess we know one change that will come with V0.16.4!

 

Looks like variable name was changed to hotfix then, but great that you figured it out and can enjoy from the game again

 

well it is 2:30 AM right now, i played all day with Nuclear Reactors in MineCraft (well a Mod for RotaryCraft called ReactorCraft... making a ME system is a joke compared to some of the stuff...) and thought i was going to play a minute or two of BeamNG... only to half break it by accident... funny i can Manade Nuclear Reactor in a mod that prides on Realism and yet be defeated by a simply missing string in a ini file lol tho the other half that is not broken is THE MENU WORKS PERFECTLY but only with the option off... i should go up and edit my salty posts ;P

tho they put the effort, that mistake looked like they tried to force obsolete PC out of the game... when they probably just fixed the thing but forgot the line in the ini to make it work... basically like a "finishing line" in a marathon suspended in mid air on the other side of a cliff with no access... me writing "uiAcceleratedRender = false" by hand was like cheating using a helicopter. (well if they put up a v0.16.4 the infamy of this version will be mostly dealt with!)

 

I guess I found the problem is.
In the menu no physics is cauculated so all framerate from GPU, you can sometimes get over 200fps. In this situation, there's no reserve for the hardware-accelerated UI. However if you play it such as freeroam. The power is distributed from CPU(calculating physics) and GPU, in most computer the bottleneck is the CPU, so there's some GPU reserve to accelerate the UI.

The solution: use FPS limiter(not vsync) to reserve more GPU power for the UI, this is very important in the main menu.
Disable hardware-accelerated UI →set FPS limit 60→Enable hardware-accelerated UI→load a map→disable FPS limit(vsync off)→read the FPS counter(ctrl+F)→set FPS limit to 5-10 lower(vsync always off)
