    BeamNG launcher just loads and immediately shuts crashes
    i can't launch the game at all not even safe mod like once i open the launcher i hover my mouse over it and my mouse has the blue circle when something freezes then the launcher just disappears removed all my 400 mods even the repo mods BeamMP to like nothing works just loads for a couple second and then disappear

    and also i used steams verify integrity and still does not work

    I also have the same problem. I try to open BeamNG anywhere, from the home screen to Steam, and the launcher opens, but I cannot click anything, and it immediately closes. I cannot do anything. I have tried.

    if your not gonna use multiplayer there is a way to open the game
    go to common folder and find BeamNG (common is in the steam library then steamapps) open Beam then go to binx64 there should be a Beamng.drive.x64 that launches the game its a work around for now

    have you tried either clearing game cache, or reinstalling?

    The cache is not clearable as the launcher just refuses to acknowledge mouse inputs

    delete the temp folder itself, that's the game cache

    Please post the (fresh) "beamng-launcher.log" file from your user folder. Perhaps something insightful can be discovered in it... :eek:

    :confused:...
    No, I meant please post the file itself, so that we could read the content of the file. BeamNG writes a lot of diagnostics into that log files. That might be intresting to solve your problem. But if you like, just wait for the ticket answer.

    I've taken a look at the file. There are absolutely no error messages, nothing that could indicate the sudden termination. Unfortunately, that doesn't help us. :(

    I hope you get a response to your ticket soon. :)
