    I have the same Problem, i have emailed support about it. I have done a fresh install and still no luck :( It works in safe mode, so maybe an issue with Mods? I've got rid of all my mods and it still doesn't work.

    Yeah it's really annoying. You have to either load the game in safe mode or manually go into the file directory and rename the settings folder to "settingsBackup". I don't exactly know the magic behind this but it definitely has to do with the game settings.

    Your PC specifications might cause the problem.

    If it works in Safe Mode, then your issue is with something broken in your Userfolder.
    You can try to wipe it entirely (Launcher > Manage Userfolder > Open in explorer > Delete everything)

    If the problem persists, then it is very likely that some program is blocking the game from using the default Userfolder location (Documents).
    Safe Mode creates a temporary folder in a different place, which would explain why it's working.
    You may try to change your Userfolder location to something else (Launcher > Manage Userfolder > Choose new location)
    For example C:\BeamNG

    I have RTX 2060, 16gb RAM and Intel i7 9th gen. My computer is like 8 months old. I don't think it has anything to do with specification

    I know that you have fixed it but if it happens again, just as an experiment, temporarily turn off your virus checker and try again as it could be blocking a file.

    If that doesn't work then just try moving the files again.

    don't need to know when I can run it befr
    should it block anything it saying it and you can say the virus checker that it is not a virus. i mean mine says everytime he found something new and I just put the file in the whitelist (McAfee)

    sorry but that doesn't fix it by me the thing I said with the settings folder was the right thing I found out that more folders are in there when you already have it and when you delete it the game makes a folder with fewer folders in there so I think in an older version was something in their wich cause some problems right now like I said to delete it save everything you need in there and make a new one fixed everything.

    I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time understanding your post.
    What do you mean by 'more folders when you already have it' ?
