    hello
    recently i downloaded the beamMP addon so i can play multiplayer beamng. but since the latest update it only loads the mp version, not regular singleplayer. for those confused as to why i havent posted any up to date screenshots in community screens, i consider this a sorry excuse.
    the only way i can play beam is in safe mode, but there have been so many new mods that i want to check out, and because of this issue i can't. please help me with this.

    also, i went to clear cache and it showed this

    Cleaninguserfoldercache8_26_20203_13_17PM.png
    this proves that something is up, considering it says '/beamMP in the folder name.

    Seems like your antivirus messed with your core game files. It might have detected a "virus" in BeamMP and tried to delete it but removed the files of the main game instead. You are missing core files so the game looks for them somewhere else and uses the BeamMP ones. You have to do a clean reinstall, back up your mods before this. I wouldn't ever use BeamMP again if I were you tbh.

    if you make your problem known in the BeamMP discord they'll be happy to help you since that is a fairly common issue and they have a fix for it

    I may not be no expert but I recommend you delete BeamMP for now

    Yes you can trust that, those are the official instructions for doing a clean install. Uninstall from steam, then delete the userfolder in Documents and then the BeamNG.Drive folder in Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/Common

    it has been identified today that the beamMP mod is a trojan virus, as I am in a discord with someone, and they said that their antivirus blocked it from running a trojan virus

    You know that it also happens to BeamNG itself, right? And it doesn't mean that the game is a virus lol

    Stop spreading misinformation without any proof for god sake..
    No offense, but you obviously seem to lack the knowledge to identify an actual malicious application.
    I'm not saying it isn't as I haven't researched it, but 1 antivirus saying it's a virus does not prove anything. It just sounds like a false positive.

    I'm not sure you understand the consequences of such false accusations. It's nothing but defamation.

    Edit: 1 out of 66 antiviruses detected the trojan. And the only one that detected is some bad no-name one, known for false positives.

    open the beamng launcher, click manage user folder, untick move user data then click reset location,
    something must have gone wrong when closing BeamMP

    and yeah as Lucas said there is a channel in the BeamMP discord dedicated to helping people out with issues :)

    Edit: well i just noticed the date of that post lol, im guessing it was fixed aleady haha
