Unable to write files at location X

Vital · Sep 13, 2019

I have an error that's linked to read and write permissions when I start BeamNG. Although it starts and runs, the error dose not look good. What can I do to fix this?

Clear cache, verify integrity, run in safemode

^ None of that would help for this specific issue.

@Vital as the error itself says, this is usually caused when something is blocking the game from using the Documents/BeamNG.drive folder.
Follow the instructions in the message and check your antivirus and anything else you have that could potentially cause that.
There's also this list which contains known problematic programs: https://wiki.beamng.com/Incompatible_Third_Party_Software

If you are not able to find what's blocking the game, you may then change your UserFolder location to something different than Documents, as a workaround.
You can do that from the Launcher > Move User Folder menu.

With my situation it looks like the beamNG.drive folder in my user documents for some reason i don't own rights to. I tried to create a new folder under the same name but the problem still exists preventing the issue from being solved

Ok strange fix. I deleted the temporary folder it created on C drive, I deleted all content inside the faulty documents folder, did hash on the files by accident and now the error "unable to write files" is solved....
