    That is what steam says when I try to launch the game. it has been happening for about 3 weeks now and I haven't been able to play since before then. is there any fix to this?

    Try a fresh installation. Follow these EXACT steps in this order:

    -Uninstall BeamNG from Steam
    -Delete BeamNG.Drive folder from 'My Documents'
    -Delete BeamNG.Drive foldere from Steam/Steamapps/Common (If there is still a folder)
    -Reinstall

    Try launching the Beamng .exe file directly from it's installation location (Steam/Steamapps/Common) instead of using steam.
