    So a few weeks ago i tried to play using my second monitor, so i changed it in the settings, rebooted the game and it came up with this issue:

    beamng drive the method call is invalid for example a methods parameter may not be a valid pointer

    It only happens in the experimental version, the normal version works fine.

    My PC specs are:
    FX 8350 4.2Ghz
    HD 7950 3Gb DDR5
    8Gb RAM 1600Mhz
    ASUS MA597 R2.0
    750 watt psu

    So you are playing it on a monitor that is not your default primary monitor? Seems like an odd issue. I'll try loading it on my secondary screen to see what happens.

    EDIT: No issues switching to my secondary screen. Can you post a screenshot of the error that you see and maybe what you see in console if you can get that far.

    Did you change all the resolution settings when you told it to use that monitor? I know I didn't do that and the game loaded just fine with the wrong resolution so it over filled my screen. I did some searching and it could be a problem with direct x. Maybe you should try reinstalling that. Capture.PNG If you go to this folder you will find lots of DX files but I am not really sure which one you should use. Seems very strange that it works fine on one monitor but not on the other.

    I managed to fix the problem, I troubleshooted the game and then ran it in compatibility for windows 8 and it works now!!
