    Whenever I launch Beamng drive from Steam, it always launches the x86 version, when I am on a x64 machine, is there any way to fix this?

    The game will use 32-bit instead of 64-bit if:
    • Your PC has less than 4GB of RAM available
    • Your OS is 32-bit (or you are using Windows 7 without Service Pack)
    • You have this malware: https://wiki.beamng.com/Lavasoft (the game would show a warning if that's the case)

    The game will use 32-bit instead of 64-bit also if the update messed up and the 64-bit version doesn't exist. Happened to me.

    That's 'not normal' case due to some bad download tho.
    Also, if you are missing the 64-bit version for some reason, you'd more likely getting an error about that, not just the game silently choosing 32-bit.
