    Is it in a scenario or in free roam? It seems to be deactivated in scenarios atleast. Other than that i have no idea.

    Go to Controls (tick the Advanced Controls thing), go in Gameplay and make sure that Node Grabbing is binded to the correct key.

    Go to Documents/BeamNG.Drive and delete everything (you can keep your mods).
    Then retry please.

    I suggest to clean reinstall your game, maybe something got corrupted in the update process.

    Follow these exact steps:
    -Unistall BeamNG from Steam
    -Delete BeamNG.Drive folder from MyDocuments (backup your mods if you want)
    -Delete BeamnG.Drive folder from Steam/Steamapp/common (If there is still a folder)
    -Reinstall BeamNG.

    What happens if you bind the key to another one instead of Left CTRL?

    binded it to left shift, still nothing happens. this worked perfectly at 5.2.0, then it would work randomly after 5.2.1 (the blue dot grid thing doesnt appear but sometimes i can grab onto nodes) but after this update the whole thing just stopped working.

    Running out of ideas sincerely, because so far only you reported/is getting this :confused:

    Uhm, so let's recap:

    You clean reinstalled the game the same, exact way I described it without skipping any step and leaving around any files?
    You tried to rebind the GRAB button to something else (tried with various keys)?

    Just to test, but have you tried to bind the 'GRAB' bind to another device (Your mouse for example, maybe the 'right-click'?)

    did exactly what you said about reinstalling, went into the steam common folder after to deleted anything left, deleted the beamng folder in My Documents, the same thing still happens.

    with controller unplugged, the same thing still happens, tried your suggestion to bind every node grabbing related controls to other keys and still nothing would work :/ nothing would show

    Can you please confirm you are using version 0.5.3.2 of the game? (It should tell in the game's window title.

    Run the game and try to use the node grabber (doesn't matter if it doesn't work, just press the key that should make use of it). Then close the game and go to the BeamNG.Drive directory and run 'support.exe'. The program will give you an ID at the end, leave it here please. It will allow us to have a look at the logs :)

    Hi, I'm taking a look at your support request. Initially I can't see anything wrong in there. You keyboard is detected correctly, so is your mouse.

    Let''s carefully go through these steps one by one, and answer each of the numbered questions below:


    Open BeamNG, go to Controls, Hardware. Please use each of the following controls:
    - Left control (a new rectangle should appear under 'Keyboard' while you are holding this key).
    - Left mouse click (button0 under the 'Mouse' section should light up).

    1) Are both of them triggering a visual change in the Hardware menu? Or does any of them fail to do anything?

    - Go to Controls > Bindings. Scroll all the way down, and click the Reset All red button.
    - Go to Freeroam > GridMap
    - Hold Control key down AND move a bit your mouse around while you hold Control down.

    2) Do the blue spheres appear?
    3) Does the mouse cursor arrow appear?
    4) If the mouse cursor appears, does it automatically disappear after not moving the mouse for 2 seconds?

    Please answer each of the questions, so I can see if the basics are working as intended. Thanks for reporting the issue and for your time!

    ok in controls hardware, left control appears under keyboard when pressed, and button 0 when the slider thingy moves complete to the right when the left mouse button is pressed.

    the mouse thing isnt exactly as you described though, instead of the same setup as keyboard under mouse, it is a bunch of sliders, not sure if this is normal or not though but yes they both cause a visual change.

    No blue spheres appears when i press control and wave the mouse around the truck. For me the mouse cursor never disappears during game play, not sure if this has always been the case or not though but i have remembered having to move the mouse around so the cursor would move out of the way when implay for a while now.

    um, any ideas?
