    So I have the 0.10 update, and it started the first time I tried it
    But now, it will not start coming up with the error

    FAILED to create user mods path: C:/Users/____/Documents/BeamNG.drive/mods/

    I have tried on safe mode and verified the integrity but still... nothing

    Please help

    Greatly appreciated

    Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, it may be corrupted.

    And if the problem persists, check your antivirus.
    That error means the game is not able to write in Documents, so probably something is blocking it.

    I suggest checking the fuel system of the game, it could be blocked by excess petrol (or diesel), if that doesn't work try to check the alternator, that could be corrupted or broken.
    Or clear the cache.

    they should go automatically to there, try starting the game
    Its not your mods path, its the path that the error's say:
    You need to create a folder called mods inside the beamng.drive folder in C:/ Users/____/Documents/

    You're sure that your anti-virus is not blocking it?

    Just right click on your Documents folder and go to Properties. Then, untick Read-Only if it is ticked. Then, open the game and try.

    check that you have none of those software
    https://wiki.beamng.com/Incompatible_Third_Party_Software

    After you checked that please try to send a support ticket with the launcher,
    Them you can give me the support ID

    It could be a problem with my Windows Installation. I have an ancient Windows 10 Build 10568 on my AMD laptop. It used to happen before for Paladins too, but it doesn't happen anymore.

    Notice this thread is from 2017, sometimes is better to make a new thread :)

    Specify the version of the game, and what Windows version (specify build/if using Insider branch).
    Then describe in details the issue.
