Update to .22 not available, only new install

I just realised the the 22 ver came out 4 days ago and steam did not update my game from the 21 to the 22, so i open steam go to my library select beamng drive and all i see is the "INSTALL" button instead of the "UPDATE" one...very weird since i do have my 21 ver. already installed and always got my auto update active. I go to the steam folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\BeamNG.drive and see that the game is still there, how can i get beamng to update from 21 to 22 without downloading everything and reinstalling? is this a bug? How can fix this? thank you!

 

Just try to install it. it doesn't take that long. Or first use task manager to close steam then reopen it cause it might be a glitch with steam.

 

Would all my mods and or other settings be deleted?

 

As long as your beamng userfolder is in documents and you didn't delete it, you wont loose your settings or mods. Also did you try the second thing I said? And try opening beamng drive through your desktop.

 

I tryed the task thing and also repaired the steam folder still nothing...i noticed tho when i start beamng from desktop shortcut steam does not turn on automatically like i was used to, is that normal?
I just noticed on steam also says last time played in december, but i play beamng daily...something is wrong

 

Steam does not open when you launch beamng.drive. Are you logged into the right account? Also did you press install?

 

yes i ended up reinstalling, apparently steam started to not recognize my beamng
