    So yeah, steam is jacked up, finally got this website to associate my account with steam... But wait, your website says I still don't own the game, even though I've owned it for quite a while now.

    So, short and sweet, is it even possible to still download a standalone steamless version of BeamNG? Steam's version just isn't working, and no, I don't feel like troubleshooting anymore than I have.

    Seeing as it says "BeamNG.drive Tester" under your username, the site knows you own the game.
    The homepage always shows where you can buy the game.

    The Steam version is the same as the version you'd get from Humble Bundle.

    If you purchased the game from Humble Bundle, you will receive both DRM-free and Steam copy of the game. If you purchased from Steam, then you get only the Steam version.
    What's your actual issue with the Steam version?

    I purchased this game nearly as soon as they made it available, long before the humble bundle or steam support. My issue with steam is it tries to run the x64 version (And I am running windows 7 64 bit, SP1) and it crashes, but if I force it to run the x86, it works but the overlay is broken on steam. I just want a standalone version of the game again.

    if i understand this correctly, you can just start beamng from steamapps/common/beamng.drive/bin32(or 64)/beamng.drive.exe.
    You can also move this folder out of that location and it will still run. Just dont put it in documents, as thats where the folder it creates for cache/mods is.

    I found a link for 0.3 Trial but not on beamng.com, but it's working. [removed] It's virus free.

    Mind you, there is an official link for the techdemo.
    http://www.beamng.com/techdemo

    Don't post links to sketchy sites :)

    I already own the steam version, as I got emailed a code for it when it came out on steam as super early access.
    I bought the game when it originally was released, before steam. Can I still download the standalone version? I'd rather not buy it again, seeing I already technically own it.
    I play BeamNG through steam, yes, but I'd like the standalone version too if at all possible so I can play it on non-steam computers.

    The Steam version works without Steam, too.

    You received the Steam code via mail? If so, you need Steam only to download and keep your game up to date.
    You can also run the game without using Steam.

    you can run the steam version without starting steam, just make a shortcut to the .exe itself.
    if you want to run 32 bit, create a shortcut to the "BeamNG.drive.x86.exe" in the bin32 folder.

    the game doesnt actually need steam so i think you could technically just copy-paste the game folder from the steam directory to a stick and put it on another computer.
