    I recently got a new computer and after installing the game on the computer, I can no longer accses any files. The usual way documents> beamng drive> moved here, no longer works and I get an error message. I can still see most of my mods in the game and use them without issue, a few mods are missing though. No problem with the mods manager in game, it's only the actual files I can't get to.

    This is the error that came up. I've tried going different ways but it keeps giving me this message

    That's not a bug and not a BeamNG issue.

    You copied the shortcut but not the actual files. You can still view the files by going to the location manually and you'll see the folder has a higher version number. 0.22 is really old at this point and wasn't used for a long time, so idk why you're interested in that as an updated game won't grab contents from there.
