    Pre-Race updater continues to crash, and seems to have corrupted the application. BeamNG drive won't run at all. I completely uninstalled, and downloaded the 0.3.1 installer, and tried to install from scratch. Installer runs fine until the last step of the installation process when it tries to run the updater, which again crashes, so the installation isn't completing. There is no BeamNG drive launcher.exe now.

    Is there an earlier version to download, before the pre-race updater, that I can download to reinstall BeamNG drive without it trying to update to the pre-race update, so I can at least return to running the program the way it was before the pre-race update?

    Thank you!

    No additional copies saved anywhere eh? First thing I did was make additional unaltered copies to different folders AND another to a flash drive. Hope you get this resolved soon!

    Right! Silly me. I just pulled the last version from my backup/archive. Back up and running with previous version now.
    Thanks!
    :D

    launcher.exe is not nesecary to start the game. It's only start the updater before the game run
    You can run the game by starting 'BeamNG.drive.exe'
