    Please try choosing a different location for your Userfolder.
    To do so, use the Launcher > Manage Userfolder > Change Location, and then selecting a different folder that does not require special permissions (for example C:\BeamNG.drive)


    Also please check this article: https://documentation.beamng.com/support/compatibility.html

    I see. Please check the article above and make sure that your game isn't block.

    Do you have OneDrive enabled?

    What is the path to your BeamNG Install?

    Are you using a pirated version of Windows?

    Also just for info; your specs does not meet the requirements, so the game might not be enjoyable anyway.

    - Highlight the game in your library.
    - Right-click on the game title and select Properties.
    - Navigate to the Local files tab.
    - Select the Browse local files... option.


    Also while you're here, select "verify integrity" and let it run

    Glad it worked :) It's odd it doesn't work directly from Steam.

    If you want to make it easier, you can right click on the exe file in bin64 and select create shortcut. Then you can just access it from your desktop :)

    Create a folder somewhere for your Userfolder. For example: (for example C:\BeamNG.drive)


    Steam -> Library -> right click BeamNG.drive -> Manage -> Browse local files
    Find the file: startup.ini. Open it with notepad.
    Then add your path to the new folder here: UserPath

    Save the file and try to launch the game again.

    Let us know if the issue persists.
