The developers have acknowledged these issues on the official subreddit and promise a v0.4.2.1 hotfix within two weeks.
If you’ve been smashing virtual sedans into concrete barriers for the past few weeks, you might have noticed a few minor annoyances. Maybe the UI lagged, a specific mod crashed on load, or the AI acted a little too chaotic.
Enter BeamNG.drive v0.4.2.0.
While not a massive content drop like 0.4.0 (which gave us Career Mode and the Hirochi CCF), this patch is what the community calls a "stability king." It focuses on fixing the cracks in the pavement so you can get back to creating spectacular pile-ups.

If you’re using Notepad++, all the files in your application are simply saved on your hard drive somewhere, whether it’s where you specified they be saved, or in the default save location I mentioned in the post above. If you would like to make sure those files are backed up, I would recommend using standard solutions like OneDrive, Google Drive, or even GitHub. I personally use GitHub to “backup” all the draft files I create for this blog, and it works really well! I hope that helps!
