    There's really not much more to say, it's as if I were getting an all-white or all-black screen, except it's bright pink. I took a screenshot to get the hex-value of the color, it's FF00FF, completely solid for the whole screen. I play the game in windowed mode, with a maximized window, it doesn't change when I resize the window.

    I do have mods, so I took them out and the problem still persists. I was doing a test of a new map using a stock vehicle, and after about three minutes of driving around, the screen went completely black except for a pure red square offset from the center of the screen. After that, the game froze and the screen wouldn't change, so I closed it. When I re-opened the game through Steam, it was pink, and it's been like that no matter what I do.

    I would just copy my mods to a different folder, and re-install the game and put the mods back, but I want to know what causes the issue so I don't have to keep re-installing until I figure it out. Could it be caused by outdated mods and maps?

    As far as my graphics settings, I haven't changed anything from how I usually play the game, and I have good hardware that I know isn't going bad because other games work properly. The game hasn't crashed, it just doesn't display correctly.

    In case it might matter, I have Windows 7, and I've played this game for quite a while now without issues before.

    If there's a log of some kind that I can put here, let me know where it is so I can send it, I tried to look for something but couldn't find anything.

    This may sound dumb but, since you posted this 2 hours ago, have you restarted your computer? XD Your GPU driver may of had a mini crash or maybe the game files went crazy and got curroupt. Even if the driver recovers, its best to restart your PC, like how my shadow play no longer works till I restart my PC for some reason... Also, do a reinstall if your game doesn't work after the restart :) this is still alpha remember :)

    I actually restarted four hours before the problem happened. I fixed the problem by deleting the BeamNG folder in my documents, I'm currently copying my mods back into there, sans the map that I was using when the problem happened. I'm going to see if it happens again that way.

    I don't thinks mods can break the game, well, actually, its the game that breaks the mods XD with the updates and stuff.
