Multiple game instances.

PodgyPaul · Aug 20, 2016

I had an issue with the game earlier this year, which has been fixed thanks to the support on these forums .
The only way of fixing it was to have a completely fresh copy of the game with no mods whatsoever. Is it possible to have 2 instances of the game that are completely separate, so I could have on vanilla and one modded? Thanks in advance.

Considering you install MODS in the 'Documents/BeamNG.Drive' folder, and that its a folder used by default by any version of the game, all your instances will be modded if you drop a mod there.

BUT

If you edit the startup.ini of one instance and change the location of the cache folder, you will be able to have a completely separate 'cache' folders for each instance.

That was a quick response . I'll have a look if I can do it, but will come back if I need some help. Thanks.

I've copied the original game in the steam folder and it runs without any issues. What would I edit in the startup.ini document?
