0.40 Discussion Thread

So to redeem myself after false accusations I've found something actually broken - turning on fog lights in the truck does not turn them in the trailer. However, if you control the trailer yourself, you can turn them just fine.

 

Nice optimizations, screen space reflections kills my fps, but im pretty sure that is just my pc crying. Only thing i don't really like is the new characters, call me weird but i prefer there being nothing. an turn on and off switch would be nice. I really like the new lights on the Italy map and the new very detailed truck. Overall i really like it and its a nice continuation to 0.39.

 

I would also think of a inverse version of that as a alternative pedestrian mode. This alternative mode would let you walk around the map like normal and people can (or maybe also a alternate option to not or be translucent), but cars and other physics objects can't collide with you as you can roam around as you wish. I also suggest the idea of a freecam player model so you can follow friends in freecam.

 

So, not sure if it could be a game bug or not, but every configuration mod seems to make you unable to move or interact with the vehicle (lights, engine off, etc) but you are able to do everything else, even using node grabber. Most mods that are actual vehicles and not configs for vanilla vehicles seem to work properly. I am aware that mods can break with the release of updates, but I've never seen anything like this before

 

i can't get the tachometer to show up in first person in time trial mode. I edited every UI preset available...and it is a pain to go through that menu. The default UI in time trial is definitely not the "Time trial mission" one.

 

Vivace tends to spike this way, happened a couple of times.

 

one thing i noticed is how the AI on Italy likes to spawn US configs of some cars, mainly the Sunburst and Lansdale. which, on one hand is kinda neat, and can be seen as gray-market imports, it is kinda awkward having the Lansdale's indicators be red. buut thats probably just a nitpick

i honestly just assumed the devs forgot at first. same thing happened with the travel trailer and its indicators back in 0.39, where turning them on in the car did nothing, but on the trailer itself worked fine. support person did say the team was aware of it, but the issue is still in 0.40, so >_>

 

Are there any plans to port FSR4 to the Vulkan or native Linux builds? I've tried running the DX12 build through Proton but that results in some horrific rendering glitches that make the game unplayable (even after clearing cache). It would be nice not to have to boot into Windows just to use FSR4.

 

Same here. I am also getting horrible stuttering on the native builds as of this update, not sure why. The framerate is stable over 70 with maximum graphics at 4K but yeah the proton build is much smoother, except some stutters which i believe are from the horrible constant flashing of LOD objects.

 

Where do i find it?

 

Add Keyboard and Mouse support to PS5 Please!!

 

inb4 some twat says "just buy pc" as if BeamNG wasn't literally made for PC and as such keyboard and mouse shouldn't have been removed in the first place

wait a minute, Beam has custom mappings.

just map them yourself.

 

my bad

 

It doesn't load at all with mods activated, its kind of annoying what is changed the mess up with moded vehicles ? every time something is messed up damn it. I would prefer to stick into something that i'm used to. For 1 new truck everything else is messed up.......

 

the new update is running smoothly for me, i would like the ability up render photos in a higher resolution than i am playing the game in. Similar to how it was previously. (playing in 1440p, with photo mode captures rendering in 4k-8k)
now the maximum render target is my in-game resolution. Is there a way around this temporarily? Cheers and great job on .40!

 

can yall add a button in the percheron's interior that changes the splitter?

 

I think there should definitely be an option to revert to the original sound mixing, since some cars, especially mod ones, sound really muffled and usually worse than what they used to sound like before the update, at least in my experience. Everything else from this update is amazing, great boost in performance in my case, so no other complaints.
