    Whenever i try to run BeamNG on Steam it says it's running/playing but the application never opens. So far i have tried:
    - Reinstalling
    - Verifying game files
    - Running the .exe in the steam folder for the game without the steam launcher
    - Ran as administrator
    - Restarted and shut my pc on and off several times
    None of these have worked, furthest i've gotten is seeing BeamNG in the "Background processes" part of task manager. Please help. I can't even get to the point with the 3 main options and the top one says 'launch game'.
    I use 2 monitors and have Oculus installed but have it turned off, i use an i9-10850K CPU @ 3.60GHz with 16 GB Ram and a GTX 970.
    Please help.

    * Navigate to Steam → Library, then Right click on BeamNG.drive → Properties → Local Files, and select "Verify Integrity of Game Files"

    * Create a new folder in a folder which doesn't require special permissions (for example: C:\BeamNG.drive)

    * Navigate to Steam → Library, then Right click on BeamNG.drive → Manage, and select Browse Local Files

    * Find startup.ini and open it with notepad or your preferred text editor.

    * Find UserPath =

    And add the path to the new folder (from step 3).
    Example: UserPath = C:\BeamNG.drive



    * Save your changes
