BeamNG.drive recently received a hotfix for several issues related to vehicles, traffic, and the game engine. Update 0.25.4 is aimed at fixing major issues identified during the release of Update 0.25.
Vehicle Fixes
Update 0.25 added a new supercar packed with a V10 engine called the Civetta Scintilla, which is highly customizable. This vehicle had an issue that caused the mods to go haywire, and the developers found the root issue is in the unused test thrusters from root jbeam. So, they just removed them to fix the problem. However, it also disabled the unused test thrusters, which might be a concern for some players. Also, the issue with the duplicated rear suspension dampers for the Civetta Scintilla is fixed in this update.
Traffic Fixes
In this update, the developers addressed an issue where the police/suspect values were poor because they would frequently despawn. Now, the police should despawn less than before, which should result in better traffic chases.
