    Did you even read the error? Install DirectX.

    Go to your BeamNG install directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\BeamNG.drive by default) and open ...\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010 and try running DXSETUP.exe in that folder.

    EDIT: This should work, the digital signature is from before W8's launch date so it shouldn't include the OS check shenanigans.

    I'm also running Windows 8.1 but BeamNG works fine for me. It's probably just your computer, not the OS.

    i have windows 8.1 and the stable version of the game works fine. But, when I try to run experimental version,0.3.6.9, the game tries to launch in my second monitor( and fails) and i get a directx error that says, "The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter may not be a valid pointer." I've tried everything from reinstalling directx, to reinstalling the game itself multiple times. does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?...

    Here is a screenshot of both my monitors when the error occured:
