    Before I explain problem just wanted to say great game what I played so far is awesome.
    My problem is I decided to opt in for experimental build so followed instructions deleted local files etc. But now steam starts the new install but every time it finishes the download it won't play instead of the option of play it says install again. I have tried 5 different times and there is no local content now obviously because it for some reason wont launch although every time it appears that is completes the download the same problem keeps happening. Before I opt in for beta under right click menu etc process the game played fine had no problems at all but now I cant even get the normal game from before. Thanks in advance for any help as I know the community and developers seem to be very helpful from other forums I searched. Keep up good work.

    Hi.

    I'ts posible your problem are caused by BeamNG.drive's cache files.

    Are you deleted files on C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\BeamNG.drive\cache ?

    thank u for reply cache may have been part of problem. by pure experiment when i opened steam again went to library saw the same install button again but when right click to properties the local files and etc. tab were grayed out basically like when u first activate a game on steam before installing it. so i went into the steam game directory and found beam but surprisingly when i opened file the whole updated experimental game was there but in the steam game library it still kept saying install instead of play so i deleted the whole beam file in the directory under steam games then restarted steam clicked install waited and after download was complete presto no more install button instead a play button hit play game loaded fine and it was the experimental version that i wanted from the beginning that started all this. game play aweasome been having fun since then so dont know if it was corrupted or just unique bug to me but hopefully if it happens to anyone else that this simple process will help them too. thanks again devs and keep up great work

    you can start by unboldening your OP so it's not a pain in the ass to read.

    Right click beamng in steam click properties, then click betas and select experimental from the dropdown menu.
