BeamNG, the developer of BeamNG.drive, just released a new update that fixes the game's closing and replay system. These are issues that persisted in the past updates but are now resolved. The developers also worked on improving the Smart Recovery system, World Editor, and game localization in the current update. There are alternatives to the smart recovery system that you can find in the game settings.
Another nice change is the improvement made to the AI system. Now, you can go past oncoming vehicles on narrow roads. Few vehicles and levels have received some adjustments that make the game more fun to play.
