Beamng Won't install/run

I've had a good look about and all solutions don't help. I tried to update the game and got the error "Unable to download version.txt" I tried a few work arounds and didn't get anywhere so thought sod it I'll reinstall. Big mistake. I installed everything went and found the download put in my key etc and started to install. It got to the end and threw up the same error. I'd ran as admin and had my firewall/virus scanners off and still no luck. I found the temporary fix files and put them in the local folder and tried to run again. This time I get either "beamNG.drive.x86.exe not found" or "the program can't start because libcef.dll is missing" depending what I run and how. Now i cant even play my 3.0.3 version of the game and I'm regretting trying to update. Anybody had these issues before and have a work around? Feels like I've tried everything.

Thanks in advance

Oh and I'm running windows 8 however always have been with BeamNG.

 

The reason you're having problems is because you're using the old version, which can no longer be updated.

You will need to uninstall the old version of BeamNG.drive first, then download and install the new version located here: http://beamng.com/service/latestorder

Hope this helps.

hello. Cheers for you're answer however I've already tried that. Upon finding that I couldn't update i uninstalled everything then did a fresh download and found I cant install either and I'm getting the same error as trying to update. Also the temp fix files i found don't seem to work either. Ill try another download and install while my AV is off again tonight from your link but I have a feeling ill encounter the same results.

 

Well, I fixed it. No idea what was up though. Ran the download and install again with AV off and it worked. Only think I can think of was i sat and stared at the install this time rather than letting the display time out while I went and did other things. Strange I know but oh well. FIXED!
