    First of all - sorry if this thread isn´t in the right tab.

    But since yesterday an error occured for me when trying to launch BeamNG.

    I tried uninstall and reinstall through steam, but it doesent seem to work.

    It just says "CONTENT FILE LOCKED" when its about done downloading the game.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks guys :)

    That's something coming from Steam itself, not the game. Usually means it cannot access a file (something is blocking it or else)
    Try to simply reboot your PC, and check your antivirus (to make sure it's not messing with Steam/the game)

    I don't think you'll find anything interesting in the folder, something from the Steam side has failed to work correctly (and probably due something outside Steam)

    Figured it out.

    It was a repair for the steam library which was needed.

    And actually it had not anything to do with steam apparently..

    Found a guide on youtube.

    Had to run a command called "netsh winsock reset"
