    Hello, while I am not an expert by any means, I would try re-installing the game as it looks like you have tried everything else possible. I assume you mean that even the launcher will not open and you have been verifying the game files through Steam. If you have not verified the game files using Steam, try that. If that fails, "Uninstall Game" is just above "Verify Integrity of Game Files" in Steam, and after doing that, you can reinstall the game again.

    Remember to have your mods copied somewhere else, even to a folder on your desktop, as when it uninstalls BeamNG, it will trash your mods. Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    Please follow these instructions and make sure that your antivirus and similar software is not blocking the game by mistake.

    Create a folder somewhere for your Userfolder. For example: (for example C:\BeamNG.drive)


    Steam -> Library -> right click BeamNG.drive -> Manage -> Browse local files
    Find the file: startup.ini. Open it with notepad.
    Then add your path to the new folder here: UserPath

    Save the file and try to launch the game again.

    Let us know if the issue persists.
