After more than 5 months of beta testing, RLS Career Overhaul: River Highway is officially moving to public release.

River Highway brings one of the largest and most infrastructure-focused career experiences in the collection, built around long highway runs, heavy industry, remote routes, dense delivery networks, and plenty of hidden corners to discover.

From massive industrial yards and freight corridors to quiet backroads, homes, garages, and tucked-away locations, River Highway gives players a full long-form career map built for hauling, exploring, cruising, and building out a serious fleet.

Take on the River Highway expansion with:

Purchasable homes and garages across the region

28 career organizations and businesses

Parcel, trailer, and vehicle logistics

64 parcel delivery types

83 large trailer delivery configurations

Small trailer cargo support

Fuel and material delivery work

A wide industrial network with nonstop delivery opportunities

FREs and hidden locations to discover across the map

Whether you’re hauling heavy freight across the highway, running local deliveries through industrial zones, searching for new properties, or just cruising the open roads, RLS Career Overhaul River Highway turns the map into a massive career playground.

This release does not mean development is over. There was more we wanted to add before launch, but we also did not want River Highway to stay in paid beta forever. We expect to continue work in a future beta cycle.

We hope you enjoy the public release, and thank you to everyone who helped test it along the way.

Awesome map in freeroam with NO police, very laggy in career?? graphic settings dont change, seems to have something to do with the AI police/traffic im Ryzen 7 9800X3D - 64gb DDR5 - 4070TI 14gb, any suggestions??

LoganPlayz2007

I have the same issue on my 4070 OC. It’s a VRAM issue for me

anthony

i legit cant play it crashes everytime i try it

Elliot Lyon

Seems weird its only when police spawn tho, all other maps, scenarios are ultra settings at 100+ frames, but I cant even run this map on BASIC, its infuriating

The wheelest BeamNG drifter

weird to see people having issues with the map, also unfortunate because its probably a bug and not your hardware as its been fine with police every update prior aswell- guess i'll find out myself with the ol 'nasa spec' rig lmao.. EDIT 6/1/26: yeah a fresh load in to the map in career (using like 513 mods) it wasnt too happy and i disable vr before using the switch typically, but just had to go cruise around it in singleplayer with trafic/police on and let it build up the cache or so and its all good.

David Hunter

Only issue I've ever had was textures on 4k being blurred, I just play in 2k now and it's fine and loads faster.

ollie Wicks

how do i get car jockey jobs? nothing is showing for those type of jobs?

Grant Petersen

No way I’ve been having the same issue where certain textures in the city and interiors look super blurry. This might fix my issue thanks!

Chrstina

Tried to repair my truck and said " repair undefined"

Kevin VINCENT

Are there any businesses that you can buy ?

Alan Meeks

When I load into the map it drops my car upside down and map is broken will not show info on map markers and I can not find a way to switch back to any other map

Jacek Kaczmarek

everytime i try to play it, it just puts me in WCUSA instead i did clear my cache beforehand

billyray

i can make a Carrer profile but after getting to the loading done notification and i can hear the traffic in the background but it stays on the loading in screen

Jacek Kaczmarek

i fixed that issue after a bit but the gas stations just dont seem to work at all

SiNC.BZH

Is there something you can do when you cant use the Gas Stations? It tells me that the station doesn't have the type of fuel i need (driving a normal petrol car)

Declan

That's a mod conflict, had the same issue. Removed them all and just had rls installed and added mods 1 at a time until I had the issue again

Lucy

hey there! i wanna be polite with this because it is a new release and i understand there might be issues or troubles but.. what happened to optimization? is there some mistake on my end? i severely hope so. i cleared my cache after installing the mod, and i have a 1660ti and ryzen 5700g with 24gb of ram, nothing super fast but it is more CPU restricted in maps like west coast where the GPU is weirdly enough, not maxing out. more CPU issues. but for the GPU in this it's maxing out and im getting 15 frames in minimum textures and all normal graphics elsewhere, the game runs at like 45-50 frames in west coast with traffic in campaign. i couldn't load properly into campaign but it was 5-8fps maxing out the ram and vram. is there going to be an update sometime soon that has a lower end compatibility? it's kind of unplayable and i don't know why or what is happening with the performance. i am hyped for whenever it's fixed since it is what i've wanted, i wish you guys partner up with the map owner of skeleton coast, it'd be a cool option for super long trips.

Søren Friis Tvede

i cannot play it either please fix the problem with LUA

Destroyedearth

Tested it a bit, realy nice, will play this map more. But one thing was strange... seen a german police car and the map is in the US.... sadly would have loved german speed limits xD

Espo477

I just get my car spawned in the air till it falls down and crashes, and the map is so unaligned that I can't do any jobs, nor can I change maps now.

Noname Billybob

Hijacking top comment. i had this issue too.. look up how to add "page file" to your PC (basically using your HD as VRAM) fixed my issues

jsundy3699

Cool but can we fix the fact that Joes junk cars still spawn as traffic. Every single time I play there a car with no engine or doors that doesnt move. And you removed the editor so I cant individual delete them. Please do anything.

Axel GUILLET

I have no collisions, cant fever my trailers, and i go right through bridges. this map is unplayable :,(

Jean J Mancebo

Maritime port jobs are spawning the trailers where the drop off location should be.

AJ R

Could you add online dealerships for vehicles? I have to go to WCUSA and back just to get a new vehicle. More high-roof garages would be appreciated as well, as I use tall vehicles a lot.

Simon

just load once in free roam in this map after that in your career then it shoud work, but it uses much ram & v ram, my 32 ram and 12gb vram are maxed out..

AJ R

I don't have any issues other than huge unoptimization. Runs with 40fps on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 8GB, Intel Core i7-14700F, 32GB RAM Runs about the same with Lenovo Legion Go S handheld with Bazzite as an OS, massive power difference

Ryan Leberknight

Game crashed due to needing too much VRAM, now it hangs up during the loading meshes part. Anyone know a way to go back in saves so i can keep progress and stay in WCUSA? I'd like to avoid restarting

Erik Martin

Get around 12 to 16 fps in Vulkan mode even after lowering a lot of graphics settings. Switched to Direct X and get around 35 fps on High settings. Using a 4070 Ti Super and an AMD 5950 X with 32GB of RAM

Josh Hamilton

cant use any of the gas stations

King Cobra Gaming

cant play this map this is the only map i installed that legit crashes everytime i install it its either im missing apprently 1 or 2 mb of RAM which i somehow doubt since i never struggle with other maps or it just flat out crashes with no explantion at all ik theres newer versions of this map for paid members idk why you guys havent made them public yet because ive seen people with better pcs then me even struggle with this version i woulntd recommend anyone play this version of the map and to just wait until they hopefully add the better more optimized versions of it in the future

Танкист СССР

Tell me, why is there no lighting at night on this map? What kind of nonsense is this?

Eder Merino

Hi! I don't know if it's too late, but I'll leave the answer here anyways in case I can help anyone else. In my case, the game would just crash when trying to load the map. I have an 8GB 4060 and 16GB of RAM, but the issue seams to be related to the career overhaul, because I can perfectly play the map on freeroam and the performance is on par with the other maps. Anyways, first of all, try to browse the mod manager in the repository and disable the map from there. Then, try to load the career profile again and see if the game automatically respawns you in the previous map. If that doesn't work, close the game, launch BeamNG again and select Manage User Folder. Then, go to /current/settings/cloud/saves. You should now see a folder named as your career profile. Get into the folder, select the latest autosave (the folder with the biggest number), enter the /career folder (for me, it was \current\settings\cloud\saves\Profile 1\autosave3\career) and open the general.json file. I suggest using Visual Studio Code or similar to edit the file without converting it to .txt. Inside the JSON, you should see a line called "level":"river_highway". Replace it with the name of the map you wish to spawn back in. All maps are named in lowercase and with underscores. In example: west_coast_usa. Once you have saved the file, you can launch BeamNG again and load your career profile normally. You should spawn next to the map switcher waypoint.

Alan Meeks

Thank you for the response. My issue was having like 4 versions of the map active at one time. My fix was to remove all versions of the map except the one rls uses. Once done map worked fine loaded in perfectly.

OCAA

anyone now how to fix when i load in freeroam mode it shust loads me into west coast

OCAA

how did you fix ???????

Rasmus Pedersen

everytime i try to go to that region it just crashes on the spot in the loading screen

KenTheKreator

where is the police station on this map ?

KenTheKreator

Does Anyone knows if this map Has an working police station ?

_IlAa54321__

Will it update that can capable 0.39 Updates??

Mark

Why has River Highway not been updated in months? Has it been abandoned?

Hansful

Any chance to get this compatible with 0.39?

D

No longer seems to work on the most recent update. Broke my save when I logged out on this map & back in :( I love this map & so badly want it to get an update < 3

Joseph Scolese

We need a fix the map blinds you with massive back with white outline pixles amd its very lagy i bought my membership mainly for this map too

Louie Fowler

cant play map 35gb of ram and 3090 15gb and i7 all max out perfectly fine other maps

josh

map needs updates bad. missing textures and skybox broken

Jay R

dont worry if you get it working it WILL DISSAPOINT BY TOTALLY FUCKING UP AFTER HOURS OF PLAY

Przemysław Filarski

PL. U mnie na XOEN odpowiednik i7 4gen rx580 8gb 24GB ramu rodzielczość fullHD mapa odpala się i jest "grywalna", ale brakuje tekstur drzew, trawy, w miejscach gdzie jest woda są jaskrawe detale. Działa płynnie. W nocy grafika przeskakuje jakby między grafiką z 0.38 a 0.39. Policja i ruch uliczny są ok, map switcher działa i inne punkty dostaw odbioru też. Tam mapa nie ma aktualizacji do pełnej kompatybilności z 0.39. Mam też trochę modów z carer colection i RLS wersję 2.7.1 hotfix. Może to umożliwia mi możliwość gry na tej mapie.

Gustav Lindström

This map is one of the best ones out there that's compatible with RLS Career, but it is unfortunatly not entirely compatible with 0.39 as it seems. It's very laggy in career, and i for one have huge problems with textures, even without other mods except RLS Career. The roads are light gray with green arrows on them (likely the paths the trafic use?) and very blurry. and at night the roads turn white and everything else just disappears...

Guest

how did you get the map to work every time i download it i have broken textures and floating objects

Gustav Lindström

I honestly dont know, but its all good now. I just enabled my mods again and the textures worked fine. Although now it lags a LOT when in career mode 🤷🏼‍♂️

rc207

Has this map been abandoned? It's been nearly 6 months with no updates, which is disappointing, considering part of the reason I pay for a membership is to get maps like this. It is highly broken in .40 - barely playable, in fact. It's sad because it was by far my favorite map for logistics/trucking, which is how I enjoy making money in RLS. Racing and the other "car culture" stuff just doesn't interest me as much, and the other maps are either too small or too boring (Skeleton Coast, essentially one long straight road).

DaSpookyNuts

Thank you! I've been wondering the same thing! I've never been able to play RLS on River Highway but I'm just like you: I enjoy doing Logistics the most and the other maps just aren't great for that. I must say it's pretty fun with The Gap, but in my experience, it's a lot of going up and down the same mountain road. But that might be my limited playing experience so far :). I also just left a comment under RLS's latest YouTube video asking for an update regarding this. Let's hope for white smoke soon!

Benji_b

PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!!!! There are working versions of just the map for 0.40 it must be possible
