    Purchased for my grandson through "STEAM". When I open the game, various screens come up, then after we make our choices it tries to load for HOURS. 86- not responding. Over and over. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING>> WILL NOT RECOMMEND. We want a fix or a refund.

    Does your pc meet the minimum requirements, they are listen on the store page before you buy it. If it is not a good enough computer it will struggle and sometimes wont load the game. Its listed before you buy it so you can check.

    Do you know the specifications of your grandson's computer? It's possible that his system doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run.
    You can also press Verify Integrity in the launcher, as that could repair any files that are missing or corrupted.

    First of all, we need more information than this. It's hard to help you otherwise.
    • What are your PC specs?
    • What are these 'various screens' that come up?
    • How long does it load for. Is it literally 'hours'? On a low-end PC it's not uncommon for a map to take quite a while to load for the first time, as it doesn't have any assests/textures loaded in the cache.
    • What is the exact error message?
    Second of all, this is not actually an issue with the game its self. It's almost certainly an issue with your in some way PC, whether a hardware limitation or software error I'm not sure as you have provided very little information.

    This game is extremely intensive on CPU and GPU and requires a decent amount of memory. Unless he has a mid range $600 dollar gaming computer imo I wouldn't even attempt to run this game. I mean I have a over $2000 dollar computer and it starts losing frame rate on low speed settings with only 6 cars in the game.
    This isn't a race game. This is a simulation game, and is very physic accuracy orientated.

    Note: Max graphics obviously and running programs in background

    1. Open steam.
    2. In your library, right click on beamng (in the sidebar)
    (should look like this) Screenshot_181.png
    3. When you right-click, a menu will appear. go to the bottom and click "properties"
    4.In The menu that pops up when you click properties, go to "local Files"
    5. In "Local Files", use "verify integrity of game files"
    6. When steam has va;idated your files, launch beamng.
    7. In the launcher, click "verify integrity"
    8. When the launcher has verified integrity, clear the cache
    9. When the cache is cleared, launch the game in safe mode.

    Best of luck, hope this helps
