The performance is really good, imagine how much better with the final version. And this beta is before the open beta so only much better things to come.

[@roanegaming]

G'day B9Bot 1, My thoughts exactly. 👍

[@jmcnear6688]

I wish they would improve the multi-thread capabilities as this is what causes my game to stutter the most. I have to limit the threads the game uses then I can uses the highest graphics options without any stuttering. I also wish they would make the map more like a colored GPS map Or at least give that option (Night mode or Daytime mode).

[@roanegaming]

G'day J McNear, 1.50 is partially to prepare the game for multi threading so I think they will address that in the near future. 🙂

[@steelmule1]

I haven't played in a while but this update has brought MASSIVE improvement quality of life changes. The UI is great, they should just allow players to add color to the various icons. I will start playing again

[@roanegaming]

G'day Steel Mule, Yes I agree the update ounce final should be a great improvement and I agree that a bit more color to the icons would be a great addition. 🙂

[@busterbrown1686]

Improvement is always welcome, but frustration with no answers ahead for us unsupported VR players. I'd prefer more DLC. Thanks for the video

[@roanegaming]

G'day buster brown, I feel for ya mate, I have noticed in the forums and discussions that VR doesn't get much support at all, hopefully that will change with the new update - fingers crossed

[@bradlocke1924]

Thank Roane, great job. It definitely has a lot of improvements.My fear with these games as updates come out am I going to need more computer power to run it. I have a older system but it does a pretty good job of running the current version on medium settings.

[@roanegaming]

G'day Brad, I hear ya mate, that is a concern for me too, my system isn't the latest and greatest so fingers crossed it will run smoothly on the new update and new engine coming. 👍

[@RobAlderden]

I think the biggest plus of this huge future engine update is that it shows me that these games are far from dead. ;-)

[@roanegaming]

G'day Rob, From all the news and gossip I have read and heard they have big plans for the near future of the game so big things are coming. 🙂

[@FlankNBeanZ]

Lane assist is still helpful for long trips, but I can see this being super useful for external view driving and capturing vid/screen shots.

[@roanegaming]

G'day FlankNBeanZ, LOL you know after I uploaded the video I thought about it and came up with exactly what you said, that it would probably be very useful when making videos and in the external view because I always wonder off line and sometimes crash. Great minds think alike

[@roanegaming]

OK I just tested the Lane Assist and it works ok-ish when you're in the cab of the truck but not when you're outside the truck, so not of any real use to me as it stands now however the devs might change it so it works externally before the update is released. ⁉️

[@carlc.472]

I agree, looks alot better to me as well

[@roanegaming]

G'day Carl, Yes and I think it will only get even better. 👍

[@elijames3041]

Looks nice

[@roanegaming]

G'day Eli James, Totally agree 👍

[@cookiemonster2189]

I like the new UI bit getting used to but i like it, in graphics settings new thing also added is to enable far shadows your game it was enabled you are right graphics have improved alot the beta i think is great lots new stuff and beta is very stable few stutters but its a beta so all good

[@roanegaming]

G'day CookieMonster, Yeh I am really liking the UI and the graphics are a huge improvement, it's incredibly stable for a Beta test so I am truly looking forward to the finished update. have a couple of cookies 🍪🍪

[@charlespooley85]

they should bring some old truck in the game like the kw 200 or the new 220

[@roanegaming]

You can get the Kenworth K100-E from the Steam Workshop steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1815959194&searchtext=100 I have it and it's a great truck. 👍

[@dragonzgamesTEDz]

the road on the 395 was added

[@roanegaming]

G'day STEVEO, I'll check that out, thanks. 👍

[@charlespooley85]

yes and still no cb in there trucks yet you think they would no that all trucks have cb in them

[@roanegaming]

you can add a cb in the hanging items slot with sisl's accessories mod. 🙂

hi with the new update 1.50 i dont know why but my performance (fps in game) has gone worst I have a 4090 and a 7800x3d before the update i was able to play at 144fps capped with no drops in cities and in all places with ultra settings (400% of upscalling and 200% of reflections) and now with same settings and same resolution (1440p) the fps drops below 120 in some cities, would you have any Idea of why this happens ?

[@roanegaming]

G'day Ajo, With the new update adding TAA etc to the game it has increased performance requirements and because of that your old settings may not be enough for smooth performance. I did a lot of testing with 1.50 and found the best settings for my rig and made a video that might help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIa5oZeLaJucmqM

[@Tmlezz]

@@roanegaming I found out why i had so bad performance in cities (drops below 110 fps or so) anf this happens only when i am in first pearson, and its because of the truck mirrors when i turn them in low i got the same performance, but in ultra they give lots of bad fps in cities

[@roanegaming]

@@Tmlezz That's good news that you worked it out

[@Dr4g0nW00d]

did they finally have fixed and improved AI traffic?

[@roanegaming]

G'day Dr4g0nW00d, LOL I'll say this, so far in general the AI traffic seems to be better EXCEPT now they have a tendency to run red lights, in just my first two jobs I did I counted 6 AI cars that ran red lights and nearly ran into me. 😵

[@roanegaming]

@@Dr4g0nW00d Yep they sure are lol.

[@martygenska8117]

Curious if they added a compass to the navigation system.

[@roanegaming]

G'day Marty, I just took another look as I was curious too but no compass aat least not that I can see.

Szia! American Truck Simulator v1.49.1.0s Segítséged kérném. Ezzel a játékkal játszom, már a vége felé. Kocsi garázs 81, mind fejlesztve van. 50 sofőr hiányzik még. Összes Munkáltató (aktiválva). Ezekhez szeretnék sofőröket felvenni, nem lehet (üres a várakozási lista). Kiírja nézzek vissza holnap, mivel már sok napja nézem, mindig az a kiírás fogad. Kérdésem? 50 sofőrt honnét tudnám beszerezni? Segítséged megköszönném.

does your cb mic in convoy my cb light up but no sound but in truckesmp it work ok or is it because that have to wait untill all is up to date as one

[@roanegaming]

G'day Charles, Sorry mate I have no idea I haven't done any convoys, I can't find anybody to do one with me because I am from Australia, most people that convoy are from US and times conflict.

[@PEANUTx757]

The company menu kinda look as if you’re on a internet site really looking for loads now. Insteading of the scree switching

[@roanegaming]

G'day PEANUTx 757, Yes I agree. 👍

[@Tomo-hb2tq]

Hope it does change cos it looks dull as hell they took all the colour out of it the new interface looks so shit

[@roanegaming]

G'day Tomo, I agree that it needs color but I like the layout because everything is easy to find, if they just add some color to the different icons it would be great.

[@Tomo-hb2tq]

@@roanegaming nar I like how is is cos everything is there and u can just go to it very easily just hope they don’t change it but then them ppl who don’t like it are screwed cos if they don’t want the new update but wants the next map they have to get the new update cos it will come with the next map unless we can op out of the update but then can’t get any more of u know what I mean

[@roanegaming]

@@Tomo-hb2tq There is talk that they might have a button to switch between the old UI and the new UI if you don't like it, It's just a rumor at the moment but you never know they might actually do it.
