(I’ve posted the same post in the discord support but it seemed that even the it support guy had no clue what was going on with my game, ill add a little more detail to what it seems to be doing below)
so I have a multitude of issues that I’ve been experiencing for a while
here are the list of errors/issues I’m having
connected launcher error
-when I start the game and click on multiplayer it says to connect the launcher which seems to spaz out in the console giving me a constant disconnected, reconnected script thing. I can get around this problem by logging out and logging back in but its still something noteworthy.
spawning issue
-when I spawn into a server, I’m spawned under the map with a question mark where the players and ping are, I cant go into freecam or anything, but I can go into editor mode to move my camera there to spawn something
the biggest issues
-when I do spawn a car it spawns two of the same type and config, the only difference I’ve found is the paint color will be of what ever the default color of the car is, this does occur on official servers with a spawn limit of one.
(i can get around this issue sometime by disabling car switching, but it only works like 25% of the time for some reason)
related to above
-Now the car that you wanted to spawn is a fraud of sorts, you drive it, you can crash it, and you can reset it, but if you change anything about the car it will delete itself and switch you to another players car. You can switch to the other car that was initially spawned with the default car color and use this but that leads into the next more major issue
-with the car that spawned adjacent to the one you wanted (the one with the default color) you CAN change aspects of the car like removing a bumper or something, BUT you cant change that car to a different one even when trying to load a different config of the same model.
instead of replacing the current car the game attempts to spawn another car besides it, like trying to spawn new, then it deletes what your tying to change and switches you to another player
under further investigation
-i started to look in the debug cons of the game itself and it seems that the game thinks I’m spawning too many cars even when pressing replace current so it doesn’t do anything. Even if I remove every car that is spawned under me it still thinks that i have too many cars and it just switches me to another player.
-i also noticed that sometimes it gives another player my name, like for example if my names mike, and some random person across the map is named bob, when i spawn in, it removes my nametag and replaces bobs name with mike
-Another thing, when I direct connect to a local host, 127.0.0.1 or whatever, the game works fine, But if i create my own server and connect to that server with my own lan ipv4 address it has the same issues as joining a regular server
in the end I’ve done everything that the IT guy has suggested with no change, I’ve totally wiped my system of beammp and beamng multiple times, I’ve checked outbound and inbound rules, I’ve checked both firewalls local and router, I’ve pretty much done everything under the sun that I can think of besides reinstalling windows of which I’m not going to do. If nothing else I guess I could wait till the next update, try thug it out, or stop playing beammp altogether
