Lua fatal error while trying to open World Editor

Hi.
Anyone else receiving the following error while trying to open the World Editor (by pressing F11)?

Fatal Lua Error
string
"lua/ge/extensions/editor/forestEditor.lua":1196: attempt to index global 'core_forest' (a nil value) =============== Stack Traceback >> START >> (1) metamethod C function '__index' (2) Lua upvalue 'initialize' at line 1196 of chunk 'lua/ge/extensions/editor/forestEditor.lua' i = number:1 (temporary) = nil
​

I tried to:

1. disable all mods
2. uninstall all mods
3. check files integrity on Steam
4. check files integrity on BeamNG

The log of item 4 returned a missing file: vcruntime140_1.dll

153.51354|E|bng::Launcher::findMissingDependencies| *** 1 dependencies missing
153.51354|E|bng::Launcher::findMissingDependencies| * vcruntime140_1.dll​

After that, I tried to reinstall Visual C++ (both x64 and x86 versions) to no avail.
Does anyone knows how to fix it?

 

On which map are you while you're trying to open the World Editor? It seems like you maybe have some problems with the forest brushes or something related? Does it happen on any map? Try to open the WE on grid map.
The missing vcruntime140_1.dll seems a frequent problem but if this would in your case the problem the game won't start at all, imo.

 

Using Ctrl+F11 works just fine.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Wow .. I was trying to open it from the Main Menu (yeah, not that smart in retrospect). Using F11 with an open map works just fine. Sorry about the trouble and thanks for the attention!

The devs might consider a warning for n00bs like me in the future, lol.

 

Good thing the problem has disappeared into thin air . Funny how the World Editor tries to load some forest out of the main menu!
BTW: I like your profile picture! Which tooth did you pull? Is that a diode? LOL

 

Weird indeed! (the forest from menu)
The tool is what I used to cut a cheap lock from the bag that contained my Fanatec toys.
I was craving to use them and the key was nowhere to be found .. so ..
