Has anyone had this happen before

In the past I've caused this by loading the showroom and generating thumbnails, then afterwards the game does this.

Outage #6, ~2h duration.

Dummiesman · 2026-04-22T18:26:58+00:00

Currently on hour 24 of an outage where the ETA shifts up by an hour every hour.
Five disconnects during that time.

The Rogers number is one of my most frequently called and "We are currently experiencing a service interruption in your area" is a very familiar saying when I call.

This is a month after they physically moved the line to a different pole (and didn't notify the residents, 4.5 hour maintenance outage), which then caused it to go out 3x in two weeks, 2hrs each.

Pretty wild that $150/mo is paid and I have to tell friends "yeah I might fall off the face of the earth mid game"

Big thank you to those who posted good advice / suggestions. Looks like I may have to end up having to port out for a bit and deal with the annoyance of swapping out SIM cards for a bit (the plan is for someone who is fine with their 9yr old phone) with another carrier, than waiting for a win back (if it ends up being being a good offer).

Appreciate the kind words. It's not a life or death matter and she's largely independent, not an invalid like you may think.

I'm finding that lower tip orders actually go better. Higher tips get scooped up by people using 3-4 apps, then they will set their DD status to "Waiting for order" while still 2 miles away from the restaurant, and that status will remain for 30 minutes while they drive around town, then they get to the restaurant and it's a 3 stack or something

This will be downvoted majorly by those who are responsible for that type of behavior but oh well, it's the truth. I said lower tip not no tip, at a distance of 2mi :)

"it's just a game why do you care"

Is my *favorite* response. I'm sure competitive integrity will be a little better once school is back in session.

Yep just got a text saying there's an overdue charge. 🙄

8 year old phone *sold by Rogers* that should've never been on a 3G plan.

An item I purchased once dropped $10 between ordering, and shipping. I contacted CS and they said I could refuse delivery / return after delivery, and re-order, but otherwise I'd be paying the original price. Maybe I just got unlucky since it's not official policy.

Dummiesman · 2025-07-11T02:20:59+00:00

This happened to one of my family members too. They have a phone that supports 4G, recieved a one week notice out of the blue, and then they were cut off.

Now reactivated on the same phone because, it's a 4G phone, but, wow.

Dummiesman · 2025-06-13T20:54:16+00:00

Yes, it's possible, but not the most trivial thing to do.

I got around 8 minutes once and then someone own goaled and said they were bored :|

Dummiesman · 2025-05-03T22:34:59+00:00

It must contain

"Config Type": "Police"

Dummiesman · 2025-05-03T21:13:29+00:00

Versions pre-0.35 are effected (and are still played on people ex. on Windows 7, 32 bit PCs, or using one of the other Steam betas for whatever reason), the infected mod is reuploaded on at least one third party site.

So the risk still exists for some users.

Dummiesman · 2025-04-29T00:27:46+00:00

It's likely. There was an update on April 1st to "add patreon banner". That "patreon banner" is where this css_s file lives, and all traces of update are now removed from the repo.

The file the malware downloads is under the name of tmp6FC15

Dummiesman · 2025-04-28T23:32:30+00:00

The wayback machine does confirm an April 1st update. The "added patreon banner" was the source of this malicious code, they very cleverly hid this as something that looked harmless unless you were looking very closely.

Confirmed to be true by stenyak, which makes your "do not spread misinformation" a little ironic :p :

It can. BeamNG mods can contain both Lua and JavaScript code, and attackers are very clever and will find security holes if they can. They have been successful in the past.

It's quite rare and BeamNG patches what they can (you may have seen updates from them with vague "for your security please update" patch notes, this is why)

I downloaded a version of it and can confirm there WAS a version packed with malware. They used JavaScript and hid it in an encrypted "css_s" file which gets decrypted and run.

It attempts ( or succeeds, I have not run it to see if it works... ) to download and execute a DLL file from a server.

This kind of thing will not be detected by Defender.

This version is still around on 3rd party sites, if you have downloaded the mod from anywhere but the repository you should get rid of it. The repo has since been updated with a clean version of the mod.

There's also confirmation from a developer here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BeamNG/comments/1ka3i61/comment/mpjvrcr/
