Fixtures Disappearing?

The fixtures disappearing is not a bug IF they are still on the "Model" when you go back there. The game works differently now and we need to better explain that, because with the saving issues in the last big update we taught people to first finish building the car and then designing it. So here is how it is supposed to work, and some situations and their intended outcomes.

How it works:
The first 3 tabs in the car design are for the model, marked by the little model car symbol. Here you can make the template to be used for all trims you build after creating that template. Changing the template after creating any trim only affects trims you build after the modification, not the ones already built.

Good procedure:
Make template design on first fixture tab, use save button to save your design progress (the only thing that does not auto-save until you select list items or move sliders), once done move to second fixture tab and modify the fixtures for this trim only.

Not a bug:
Leave 1st fixture tab (template) empty, leave 2nd fixture tab (trim) empty, make rest of car, come back to 1st fixture tab and design the car, go to 1nd fixture tab and ALL FIXTURES ARE GONE. Going back to the 1st fixture tab, they are all there though.

Seems that any engine sound does not work while the car laps a test track, ive tried my existing cars, and built a new car to see if it works but it does not.

Game seems to fail to load the sound of the engine. Displays no error message and all of the ambient sounds work. Engine sounds work correctly in the engine designer test room.

EDIT: Fastest with to fix this bug is to smash the start button on the test track until the sound plays, closing the game and swapping through tabs seems to not fix the issue like it did in the non-beta build.

Well i'll open with this one, Upon clicking on sny of the engine scenarios triggers this error.
tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--shared\functional\SANDBOX_DATA\CEngineCalcu..."]:96: attempt to index field 'FactoryInfo' (a nil value)

There are a heap of errors if you try to play the scenario and note that all my engines from before the patch for the scenarios are missing.

Confrim what you said below car scenarios also crash when you try to run them.

[Killrob]

Ahh, good catch, the engine scenarios are probably borked because of our latest changes.
The track sounds issue is known. They are there in principle. Try testing the engine in normal test mode and then go to the track. Try running the track again by stopping and restarting the run. For me that worked.

[Prasiatko]

Possibly related to that and to note for anyone using modded parts, they now go under gamedata.

[Prasiatko]

tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--client\functional\TrimDesignerWindowDelegat..."]:4273: attempt to call method 'LoadTrimFromTable' (a nil value)

To reproduce:

Select drum brakes on rear. Hit hold. Switch to disc brakes then change size. Then hit revert. Brought up this error.

Scratch that instruction any hold and revert will do in trim section.

It seems the beta doesn't recognize any mods. Is that per design?

[Killrob]

The beta has a completely new folder structure for mod support, so old mods now won't be compatible if placed in the old folders!

Roger. Found this btw.

I've noticed that brake fade values, changed. Now in certain models, i get a minimum brake fade, i can't get 0% brake fade, even if i move up the quality slider and choose ceramic brakes.

i would say, choosing "standard" components in a 1.1+ ton car, would be hard to eliminate all the brake fade. But choosing carbon ceramic, should eliminate it... am i wrong?

Also noticed a negative offroad stat in detail stats.

To add to the brake fade issue i find that the only way to eliminate it entirely is to use 100 Race for pad type.

i.e. pad type is affecting the brake fade calculation. Never mind just saw update video.

That kind of error during openbeta launch:

Headline:
The Goggles, they do nothin'!

Fatal error while loading init.lua: [string

Thx Killrob - that works.
