I doubt it - I have Windows Firewall running and mine works fine, but it's possible, because everyone's got different settings.
I have my mods going through my directory like this: C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods, I have it routed through the "This PC" tab. For xxxxxx put your user account name --- Post updated --- @sweepwer where do you have your mods running to?
See everybody, we need more people like Harold over here, he is not starting a fight, not begging, he is just complementing how great this is, come on people!
