BeamNG Drive - How to fix lag on a low end PC 

Thanks for the tip! 👍 And generally after you see that it works ... you can try to change some settings a bit up to see if your pc can handle it or not.

the lighting is the most performance heavy option

You welcome 🙏😃

That's so good!! I am glad i could help you. 🙏😀

wOw!! Unbelievable!! 🙄 I think you should show us how you did that i want also 👏🙂 I went max 60fps 👎🤷‍♂️

Thank you a lot!! 🙏🙏

You mean i3 there right? :) Eh man your Graphics Card is not capable to handle this game. If you already put everything to low then maybe you can try lower the resolution as well to 720p to get some fps more... If you can't upgrade your PC choose simpler gamer for now. 🙂

Yes PC gaming is expensive hobby you need to upgrade every couple years. Go for desktop if you not plan to move a lot. It would be cheaper and you can upgrade some parts in the future.

If lower the graphics? Is becoming better. ?? After changing all the settings to the one I said here on the video the game plays better.

@@BeamNGMomentz bro i was having beamng a year ago and i also managed to get around 30fps on 720p on lowest settings possible but now with newer version i am having only 19FPS with lowest settings 720p i dont know why??? my specs - i5 10210u with intel UHD 620 single 8gb ram

@@signerx2989 check how many mods you have and get rid of the ones you don't use. Sometimes the mods are heavy as well.

@@BeamNGMomentz i think more than 20 or 30

@@BeamNGMomentz ook lemme see if it works

Man it may run but you won't enjoy the game like that...i wouldn't recommend for you. On low graphics it's not worth it you cannot even put traffic so better play GTA San Andreas 🤔😉

yooo we have same GPU HEHEHE Finally Someone that has an old GPU like me!

@@BeamNGMomentz ok thx dude

@@azaansanims9525 hehe boi

Man the game will run at low to lowest settings but you need to know that it doesn't look nice, and then if you will add Traffic AI or you play with more that 3 cars it will definitely lag as i lag as well. It's demanding game. Personally i wouldn't advice someone with those specs buy the game as you will easily bored because the game is more about free drive around and have fun, than campaign or something else. So this experience is bad when playing at low settings. GTA V will play better on your set up right? You playing it right?

Yo i have a shit wit pc that has 4 gb ram i3 7th gen no dedicated graphics card and am running at 20 fps with lowest setting facing so much time to loading

@@Getsomesleep33 yes it's not worth the frustration, enjoy less demanding games and if you upgrade your pc in the future then good.

Buy it, I have a pc even worse than yours playing at low/lowest settings 720p. I’m at a stable 40fps. Even tho the game doesn’t look that nice it’s still loads of fun, also resolution has the biggest impact on performance in this game.

@@noaerrr true, you can hit low - normal settings on an i5 processor, and drop your resolution to anything below 1050 and still get at least 25 fps. Keep your aspect ratio close to 16:9 of course, and the only difference you'll feel is that the UI will be much bigger.

You are just messing with us yeah? 😨🤬 😂🤣

@@BeamNGMomentz I'm just messing around, I know i don't need these settings I run the game at a mild 90 fps

@@ShooberX and everything at high? ;)

@@BeamNGMomentz Yeah i suppose.

I'm at ~20-25fps with i7-7820x (3,6ghz), rtx 3070 ti and 32gb ram... But I have to play in 4k (playing on a 4k TV).

Omg 😲 👌😂

Thanks for sharing that 😀 👌👌👌

My fps is like 00000.00001

😂

Not really man, if you tried everything like i show on this video and you put your setting lower, that means your system cannot handle it most probably. Do you mind sharing you PC specs and on what graphic settings you play the game? I also have frame drop when i add more than 3 cars and especially with Traffic it's becoming unplayable... so it's normal. It's F@cling heavy game. I will try to play it in a friends PC with a good system to see how it looks and if it lags 😃

I have intel core i5 7400k and gtx 1060 with 16GB ram

@@paxypaxyman oof try to upgrade cpu lol 😂

Yea im thinking of 3070 then a i7 but quite costly

Bro your system is better than everyone commenting here 😅 At least with less that 3 cars the game is playing good right? You should be able to play it even at high graphics settings as i am playing it at normal here.

Yes on 11 should be little different but similar procedure.

haha it's ok you can enjoy different games for now. 😉👍 Epic giveaway the Among us. 👌👏

Oh yeah and if you are using laptop put a fan to blow or invest on laptop base with fan. It helps with overheating 😉 Thanks for subbing!

Welcome! Thanks for subbing! 🙂🙏

Im way worse I'm With 8GB of ram and i get 30 fps and Integrated GPU.

@@WinYT1654060ti here heh 😏

In multiplayer i was very laggy as well when i played. About playing solo you should be fine.

@@BeamNGMomentz yep I am. I enabled the low latency mode and it helped so much for multiplayer, now i need to delete way less people for races

really? i have no idea why..... 🤔

It kinda is

Is it a laptop? Usually those intel hd graphics card are not recommended for heavy games. If it is a laptop i would be worry not to overheat it and you know it might get burn. If you try few things from this video it could do but you play at the lowest and without AI traffic for sure.

haha cool man! Yes lower PC can run it but at low settings for sure. And if you add traffic it will lag right?

@@BeamNGMomentz nope I was getting 40 FPS with traffic on city

@@tdevergree4388 not bad :)

It would work, can't tell on what settings exactly but most of the graphics settings will be better on low and if you see it's play well then could try normal also. They normally reccomend to have a dedicated graphics card..but many people play it with integrated graphics as well. Ofcourse expect lag when you add many cars, traffic and AI. Try to play with 2-3 cars for better frames and no lag. 🙂👍

😉😆

😂😂 brvh chill, there is nothing wrong with his accent

Xddd jako jo no ale indiáni vždycky pomůžou

Very gut

True

Hey man it will run, but everything at low graphics settings. It will looks like that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dd932ad36zE.html It won't be great but you can still play it. Also if you add AI and Traffic expect frame drop and lag so play with less that 3 cars. So graphics settings to low and see from the what you can increase without experience lag. 🙂

@@BeamNGMomentz thanks man.

OBS Studio

You graphics card is weak bro but it's should play normally i believe. I hope you tried everything like i show on this video and also having it at lowest. Also forget playing with more than 3 cars and forget definitely about Traffic AI. It's very demanding. Put everything to the lowest and also try to raise your laptop so it won't heat up. If possible take a laptop stand with a fan. I raise my laptop with 2 books and i have one small office fan and it does the job. This is just a small tip because laptops suffer from overheating. If it still not enough maybe change the resolution from 1080p to 720p. I hope you manage to improve it man 🙏

I can't know for sure but i think it will be fine at low graphics settings. And just letting you know that you won't be able to play with many cars man. Or Traffic AI. I am lagging also when i add more than 2 cars.

Hey man! I can't tell for sure. But I believe your system will handle it at normal and some at low settings. You need to test it.

Good to hear 👍🙂

Oh yeah!! You will enjoy the game 👌😉

Thanks! 🙂

Nice tool you use. But if you tried to put everything at the lowest and reduce all the graphics settings there...then most probably you can't do much after that. Also if you don't have powerful system you better not add many cars and forget about Traffic AI and stuff. Now what system you have and how many frames can you game?

Wow that's big difference! 👍

what cpu do you have?

@@erikaserikas8239 geforce rtx3070 ti, but it was good for a bit but i started to get lag spikes after a bit, something might be wrong with my computer or something else idk

@@beanostheman2670 He asks about Processor. And what graphics settings do you play? At maximum?

You have less than minimum recommended, as i understand sometimes it can work but it doesn't worth it to play it all at lowest settings and lag. I would say enjoy less demanding games for now. 👍🙂

I hope you get one soon. 🙏

@@BeamNGMomentz i can't

Good! It helped myself as well :))

Try it why not. Yours specs are less than minimum so be happy it plays 👍🙂 On what graphics settings you have it? Like Normal, Low, High?

@@BeamNGMomentz in lowest setting and 800x600 resolution i think i have 40 fps not 60

If you saw the recommend much better specs to run the game, but if you own the game already then just put everything to the lowest my friend and hope it play and don't lag too much.

Hey man, most probably it will work but keep in mind that you will play it at the lowest graphics settings and you will definitely face lag and frame drop. You won't be able to play with AI Traffic and many cars as well... 🤷‍♂️😐 I also play it with 3 cars max.

Yes sure 👌🙂

Hello, you welcome 🙏🙂

How it performs? It should run easy on normal to high settings. Check the frames and play with it.

@@BeamNGMomentz I need to play on lowest settings to get around 30 fps and I also get big fps drops driving around I've also checked my ram but I really only have 2gb of usable ram do you have any way to lower it? Its default at 6gb of ram when no other apps are open

@@ead91 search for ways to increase your RAM my friend plus you can expand it even on laptop easily.

Try to reduce the graphics settings man. I play on my laptop and i put everything to Normal on the Graphics Settings. If you pc is old maybe you will need to put it to low or lowest. Also the other thing you can disable some Effect settings there and Other settings that make the game looks much better but it's heavy to run that. Try to change some of those and see for yourself if it plays better. What is your PC specs? Do you have a dedicated graphics card?

@@BeamNGMomentz I already did lower the graphics and then i got very good fps (60-70fps) but without any reason the fps drops. i have a intel core i5 9th Gen, 8gb ram and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 and i got my laptop 1 year

@@TylerEyk your pc is fine but if you add AI and many cars that's normal to lag. Or that happens with 1 car also?

@@BeamNGMomentz also with 1 car

Everything at the lowest man. Do you own the game already or thinking to get it?

@@BeamNGMomentz i have it and it.. lags.. so yeah i tried this and did everything still lags.. so lemme just get some RAM after like 2 months or something so.. i'll tell you!

Oh that's great!! Yes you can always find some solutions 😉👏

Man it will work BUT ofcourse only on low graphics settings if you don't mind. Do you have 8 Giga of RAM?

@@BeamNGMomentzit's asus x550cc with 4gb of ram

@@vendredisoir.ven_ Look the minimum recommended is 8 GB or RAM and your graphics card is bit less than recommended...so the game still might play right but i wouldn't take a game to play it all all low resolution. Games on the phone now looks 10 times better than playing BeamNG at low graphics. It's a heavy game and you need a better system.

@@BeamNGMomentz thanks for the answer

I haven't play much after last update. But for me it was the same. Try to see maybe some mods are outdated and create that lag.

I have a ryzen 7 4500u 16gb ram Multi processor (3) 1.82hz each

Man as i saw from the comments the game can play but it may lag a lot if you add traffic or many mods. I wouldn't recommend if you don't have a dedicated graphics card. You can try it but the game cost like 20 euro so it's up to you.

Same

You flying my brother! 🚀🪐

There is plenty of other games that don't need good PC. 😉👍

Yes you can 👍 Just have in mind playing with AI and traffic will make even better systems to lag. It will play smooth at Normal to Low graphics settings and 2,3 cars. After if you add too many cars you might experience frame drop and lag.

You are not losing nothing if you try. But you have 4GB Ram man. The minimum they ask is 8 GB. So it's normal you lag man..and do you have a graphics card? You definitely should try it and put it all to low.

You have a mid range graphics card the rest are good 👌🙂 It will run definitely but you will need to check on what settings after and find the sweet spot. 😉 Maybe Medium graphics settings will do maybe even some on high. About AI and traffic it will make your frames to drop, so you should avoid playing with traffic. You will see :))

Can't tell for sure. If you play at normal to low graphics settings it will be 50 -60 fps i believe. The game is very demanding and by adding traffic it will drop the fps. But at least with your specs it can play. 👍😀

Yo man i think you will be able to play it but of course everything at the lowest settings. Your graphics card is weak and it's important part but what can you do. Just have in mind that you will lag a lot if you add many cars and forget playing with AI Traffic. I use 3 cars max with my specs. Otherwise it lag badly. If you have already the game try what i showed and just put everything to the lowest and if you have good fps try to increase anything just to improve the image a bit. It's all about checking.

Yes, there are less demanding games to enjoy 😉 👍

@@BeamNGMomentz is my pc gonna run it? It has 4 gig of ram A gt220 And my cpu has 2.66 ghz

@@morbidlyobesecat7829 Better no....look sometimes it can run it but it will be bad and laggy.

@@BeamNGMomentz well i can run gta 5 on 30 fps, but your right, it's gonna be so fucking laggy if i tried

@@morbidlyobesecat7829 Don't worry about it there are cool less demanding games to enjoy 😉👍

It will run man. If you had a graphics card it would be better.

Bruh ... lower everything to the lowest, put the laptop a base not to burn and if it not working don't ever open the game. Wait until better laptop arrives. Desktop i wish you. 🙏🙂

Did you do what I said on this video?

@@BeamNGMomentz ya but I don’t know how to manage 3d . If I buy a new strong monitor will it be fixed?

Hello

@@Q8-saoud No matter what monitor you take if you don't change the setting to run the game from the Graphics card nothing will help you. Try to do what I showed on the video. At lest the first part if the second was confusing...

Probably at the lowest settings but I wouldn't recommend to play it with those specs as it will be laggy and at bad quality it's not giving you good experience. 🤔

If you download the latest update for your graphics card you should get this also. If you have Nvidia graphics card,,.

Try everything like i show on the video, and for sure lower the graphics setting to low. See how it performs and switch off the effects like light rays, Bloom , Depth of Field, Grass density, Tiremarks amount , Dynamic Reflection. See for yourself how it works and if it's playing then you can try to open back some of them. But don't expect much especially if you like to add AI and many cars. It's lagging all the time for me if i add AI.

@@BeamNGMomentz even i changed the resolution. My problem is cars. When i add cars more than 2-3, fps drops. Almost 10-15 fps drops Like when i add traffic ai menu and add cars for traffic fps drops horrible Any ideas bro?

@@hankgaming6972 If you put everything to lowest and close all the effects and it still lag..then unfortunately nothing else you can do. Your system is bellow minimum as their requirements on their page. So choose to play bit differently with no AI traffic for sure and with less cars. I know is annoying but this game is heavy 🤷‍♂️ I stopped using AI after my first week because I was lagging bad and I play with mods and max 4 cars trying out new things. 🙂

It's normal, you have 8Gb or RAM but 7.4BGB must be the usable. I have 16GB of RAM and 15,9GB is usable. It always take some to run your system. You can upgrade and take 2x8Gb or RAM and make it 16Gb of RAM and it will help a lot my friend. Or even take 2x16Gb RAM and make it 32GB. This is what i am thinking to try to do. It's not very expensive. But if you play on lowest settings it's still lagging? If you add AI Traffic is normal to lag by the way. I am lagging there as well. I play max 3 cars.

You can try this as well and tell me if helps with RAM: Search for System Configuration window, click Advanced options on the Boot tab. Click to clear the Maximum memory check box, and then click OK. Restart the computer.

@@BeamNGMomentz well now it's clear i played with high grafics setting without doing any setting even little lag but with lowest setting it is good 👍

Hello, if you RAM is 8 GB you can run it at low or lowest graphics settings, as you graphics card is entry level. The game is heavy and if you add many cars and AI it may lag on even better systems. I usually not recommend it for people who have less than minimum specs but as i saw from the comments people with worst PC can run it. Of course the experience is different when you play it at low graphics settings and different at high...

Don't add many cars and don't use AI that's pretty heavy for the system. Plus you are on laptop, use laptop stand with fans not to overheat it. That help me as well 😉

I don't know why but i hear that a lot 😁

Your system is good! I play on normal so you will definitely better than that. Try even put some settings higher to see how it performs.

@@BeamNGMomentz ok thank uuuuu.

I was about to drop thousands on the pc so I need advise so thank u again

@@Chrispyjamaican No problem. But don't be surprised if you add AI and many cars if it dropping fps or even lag. It depends on how many things you put 🙂👍 I hope it can play good even with AI. I can't know exactly.

You have good system but If you could increase your systems RAM to 16 GB and you will be much better. But if you mean when you add AI and traffic bro it will lag as it is very demanding. I play max 3 cars otherwise i lag very bad. Traffic AI i don't use never 😥

@@BeamNGMomentz ok thanks so much for the reply I will take that into consideration and maybe upgrade my ram soon it is also an asus laptop and there is definitely a heating issue so I must always play with a fan

@@2wheelhomie665 Yes with laptop definitely the heating is a big issue and if you have use a laptop stand with fan. It helps a lot! For me it helped only by raising the laptop with some books. 😉👍👍

@@BeamNGMomentz yes I am using an external fan and holding it up with a charger port 😂 does a pretty good job but I do wish I bought a desktop instead

haha cool! Yes desktop is always better but not comfy if you changing places.

It's good for budget gaming but for BeamNG it will play it at low settings and not more than 50 fps. But depends what else you have on your PC. Minimum should be this: Processor: AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz / Intel Core i3-6300 3.8Ghz Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: Radeon HD 7750 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti If you have better than that then it will play fine but you need good PC to handle it with many cars and traffic otherwise you will play it like me with max 3 cars. I game from a good 6 years old laptop.😅

Bro it worked in 2gb ram 2.34 Hz but lagging so I see this video and then it is solved

type it on the search maybe.

I wouldn't suggest you to buy it. With those specs it will be laggy bro. I mean even i don't play with AI Traffic just max 3 cars at 60fps and everything at normal graphics settings. You will definitely play at lowest if it plays as you don't have GPU and it's not very pleasant to play it at the lowest...

@@BeamNGMomentz hmm ok thanks

@@BeamNGMomentz guess i will be buying gmod

haha i didn't know this game until i google it now 😅👍

@@BeamNGMomentz oh hahaha its a great game

You mean the game don't even open?

Eh man most of the people here would kill to have this PC. It won't play smoothly on low settings it will fly at high settings!!! 😛

No, you will need ultra potato graphics mod installed along with a turbo to stop the fried potato from exploding

You will be good but i think because of your graphics card you better check the normal setting and see how it performs there.

You have to go to -> Setting on OBS -> Video Settings and there the ->Base is the resolution what you have your Game and the ->Output Resolution put it to 1920x1080 or if it will still lag reduce it more to 1280x720p. ->Downscale Filter i have it to Lanczos and ->Common FPS Values if 60 is laggy put it to 30 fps. Then you have to go to ->Output Setting and there on ->Recording ->Type should be on Standard -> Recording Format make it mp4. ->Encoder should be NVIDIA NVECH if you have Nvidia card otherwise leave it how it is. Then ->Rate Control make it CBR -> Bitrate 16000 Kbps ->Keyframe Interval 2 ->Preset Max quality (if still lags reduce it down) the same with ->Profile start with High. Rest all ticked and GPU 0 Max B frames to 2. I have those settings with my laptop and it works good. Try them and reduce where i mention if it's still lags.

@@BeamNGMomentz Thank you for detailed explanation, I will try it out

It's not working for you at all? 🤔 Your specs are okay. I understand that this game is very demanding and I believe my laptop struggling to run it. I am facing lags once in a while. And I never play with many cars.. traffic no way 😵

@@BeamNGMomentz yep. It doesn't work i mean is it worked but only added 7fps. I also tried setting global setting into performance and only increased by 2fps. I changed my resolution and it added 3fps lower my settings to normal and added 5fps only.

I always get 60FPS but idk why i am not getting 60FPS rn

@@shiftlockuser8052 If you put all low ?

No way... did you fix that? I wish I had your card 🙏😃

If you could put 8 gb ram you would be good 👍

@@BeamNGMomentz thank's

16GB RAM is the minimum. 🙄

Hey man! It's a good system man, I think you would be able to run it on medium graphics settings. And ofcourse try not to add more than 3 cars and forget about AI Traffic. Try it and let me know how it works. What brand is the laptop?? Ah and also last tip: Use laptop base with fan. Or just raise the bottom of your laptop with books on the back it will help with heating.

No man take for free the among us from EPIC games😉👌 the minimum for BeamNG is: Processor: AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz / Intel Core i3-6300 3.8Ghz Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: Radeon HD 7750 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti DirectX: Version 11 Storage: 18 GB available space
