We just released a hotfix for the latest 0.4.1 version that fixes a crash on startup that happened if you had an Xbox controller connected that was low on battery :|
Also, since the move to DirectX11, WindowsXP is not supported anymore from this version on. We created a fallback version of the game that you can get like described below.

• Fixed crash on startup when a gamepad doesn't have full battery
  
• Fixed Pessima V6 configuration not loading properly
  
• Added fallback for torqueArm

• Added "Port Escape" scenario featuring the Pessima
  
• Added "Drown the Pigeon" scenario
  
• Pessima: Added "stanced" configuration
  
• H45: Tuned heavy duty rear suspension to take loads better
  
• D15 Custom Off-Road: More damping and limiter damping
  
• East Coast USA: removed duplicate bridge

If you want to know how to get the version that supports DirectX 9, please read the blogpost.

Version 0.4.1.0 released, welcoming DX11 :)

This update took us longer, since we were working on bigger changes that needed time to mature enough to be released with quality in mind.

We have switched from DirectX9 to DirectX11. The benefits are improved performance, future proofness and a good step towards modernizing the game engine core. The downside is that DirectX 11 will not run on Windows XP any more.

• Moved some calculations to the GPU, speeding up the flexmeshes considerably
  
• Implemented realistic Electronic Stability Control with multiple switchable configurations: Use CTRL+Q to switch. The Hirochi Sunburst is currently the only vehicle modern enough to have ESC support.
  
• Small startup time improvement
  
• Added force-feedback defaults to Fanatec and T500RS wheels
  
• New main menu background images replacing the blurry video - Higher quality and more appealing
  
• Added new vehicle Lua API: getYawAngularVelocity, getPitchAngularVelocity, getRollAngularVelocity
  
• Added brakePressureDelay to simulate delay of air brakes on heavy trucks
  
• Changelogs in the start menu and the info tab
  
• Improved debug visualization for sounds.
  
• Windows 10: Tested and found to be working well, fixed version reporting

• Mouse wheel, axes, and some buttons can be bound now, enabling you to have mouse steering :)
  
• Improved bindings: now faster and more direct: calling VLua, ELua, JS or TS directly
  
• G27 steering wheel RPM LEDs working
  
• Fixed setting bindings of high-end controllers that can fire rapid events (such as Fanatec CS or Saitek X-55)
  
• Fixed inability to add and save bindings after the last one has been removed
  
• Right mouse button "look" is now a binding like the rest (and can be replaced by mouse steering, accelerate & brake, and many others)
  
• Add filtering options to mouse controls (deadzone, linearity, inversion)
  
• Show controller name next to axis/button identifier when editing a binding (to help those with many controllers connected at the same time)
  
• Show device type icon (keyboard, gamepad, etc. icons) next to most binding assignments
  
• Minor GUI improvements in Controls menu to improve usability
  
• "Advanced Functions" mode now also disables certain hotkeys used for debugging and alike.

• Vehicle loading optimized making it 3x faster
  
• Using average wheel speed for speedometer instead of the speed of one of the wheels
  
• Fixed physics core loosing beams under rare circumstances
  
• Differential improvements
  
• Fixed crash when loading dead island mod with "Direct Sound" enabled
  
• Removed all sound providers except one for now.
  
• Fixed an issue where users could not define an audio device properly
  
• Fixed negative values in colorpicker
  
• Fix for suspension replacement disabling steering
  
• Prevent CEF console from being enabled at the same time as full screen mode
  
• Fixed sorting of rendered objects to reduce pixel fillrate, GPU state changes and to improve instancing

• Vehicle Selector performance problems fixed: showing up much quicker now
  
• Fixed Problem in the UI with duplicate audio devices making the UI stop working
  
• Fixed Tacho2 up when engine values were missing: "NaN" is not shown but instead hiding the value now

• Jungle Rock Island: Airfield progress, AI improvements, new materials/textures, added a fort, fixed dirt road suddenly ending, also now released and stable
  
• GridMap: Added an ice patch, extended existing terrain samples
  
• East Coast USA: Improved materials and LODs for buildings for improved performance
  
• 4 new Scenarios: Moose Test, Jungle Rock Island Shortcut, East Coast USA Jumps, Heavy Machine Delivery
  
• Updated colmesh for striped concrete barrier
  
• Fixed "Supercar Rally" scenario
  
• Fixed "Island Tour" scenario

• T75: Added new Cement Mixer upfit. Continued optimizations. Redesigned front jbeam to better simulate leaf springs. Fixed missing hood and fender cams, rear spotlights. Fixed slow onset instability problems.

• Improvements to glass strength: 200BX, Bolide, Covet, D15/Roamer, Grand Marshal, Moonhawk, Sunburst, T75

• pressureWheels Wiki page added: http://wiki.beamng.com/PressureWheels
  
• FlexBodies Wiki page improved, multiDAE incorporated: http://wiki.beamng.com/Flexbodies
  
• Beams Wiki page improved: http://wiki.beamng.com/Beams

If you modified your input bindings, you might miss the default mappings for the new actions. You can either reset to default or, map it manually. We are working on fixing this issue to come up again in the future.

If the game fails to start, please try to delete your "My Documents/BeamNG.drive" folder.
