Game does not start up when launched via Steam.

Paul-Simon · Jun 21, 2015

Hi. BeamNG will no longer start up when I launch it through my Steam client.
I reinstalled the game completely, but to no avail.

When I launch it, a BeamNG process shows up in the task manager and after 5-10 seconds disappears.
No window shows up at all.

The game can be started by launching its executable, but not through Steam.

This is on a computer with:
- Windows 8.1
- 16GB RAM
- GTX 680
- i7-3770K

Same problem, doesn't start up at all. Neither via steam or the exe itself.

^ What's your OS and PC Specs?
Recent issue or got BeamNG from before?

My problem is solved:

It starts now, I suspect the problem was Vcredist not being downloaded by Steam.

Today I tried again, suddenly a window pops up (didn't when I tried yesterday) and downloaded it. Now it's fine.
Not sure if it's the same for OP...

Beforehand I didn't have any problems, but returned to BeamNG after a year and updated it.
