    Hey guys, it pisses me off how the map isn't out for free 'cause he said it would be for free in November but we are already in new year's eve, it's almost like he is forcing us to use his patreon. He could at least like make a free version for the repo that doesn't have the cave or something like that. smh:mad:

    Have a good day.:D:D :D

    (this is not an attack or hate reply)

    You people realize, that there are much more important things than making maps for a computer game.

    It is done when its done and when Spencer wants to invest time into it.

    Yeah, complaining for something he will release for free.... Buy it if you want it so bad and support his work!

    I mean he himself said he'd release it at November and is very often online so I can understand why people are wondering. If he doesn't want to release it for whatever reason it would be nice he said something.

    I personally don't have an ideal PC for playing BeamNG. But on big maps like Italy or Jungle Rock Island, I don't have less than 15-20 fps in Low setting.
    But this is the first time I've literally gotten 4 FPS.

    I reloaded the map, I have now 20 FPS, so it's intensive at the first loading.

    But it is an easy choice, Caldera Bay or buying a better computer (unconfortable 38 fps).

    I have specific settings to turn down on a billboard for lower end PC's that does help it a bit. The map in general is very intensive. Believe it or not I did my best to optimize it with LODS and everything but it's really just the amount of foliage everywhere and the size of the map that makes it intensive on PC's. I apologize for those who cannot run it and that's the main reason I don't think this map will come to the repository anytime soon due to the amount of people that can't realistically run it. You can also try Vulkan if that helps at all.

    -Lower Grass Density to 0.25

    -Mesh Quality to Normal

    -Texture Quality to Normal

    Beautiful Map! I wish I could run it. At least I am getting my money's worth on my components. I think this is the first time I have seen GPU, CPU, RAM, and VRAM all at 100% utilization. I did a James May belly laugh when I saw that. I should be upgrading my ram eventually so I should be able to run it (fingered crossed)

    Yeah I'm sorry you can't run it, I'll see what else I can do but I really don't know. It's just a really demanding map.

    Ah, it's fine mate. Looks great from the pictures and the little I was able to see at less than 15 fps. High Quality maps require High Performance hardware

    Yes I know, but these few settings are not enough since I play in Low graphics quality.
    According to my results, you should perhaps suggest in the first post to reload the map if it lags too much. Because personally, that’s what I did and I now have a more acceptable framerate. :)

    I don't have a big graphics card like this, I only have a sad GT 1030. But it's already crazy that a little graphics card can run BeamNG with correct framerates on other maps (for a player like me).

    Wow. This map is amazing, even if my usually extremely powerful Acer Nitro 5 can barely run it at 45 fps. Definitely a keeper!
