    Hi everyone!

    I can't update my game via Steam because all Steam ports are blocked at my network by the network admin.

    Is there any other way to update the game by downloading a file or anything like that?

    Please excuse my ignorance,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, so you got the game from Steam and then network admin did block steam ports, what kind of network that is, some school network?

    Yeah. It was not blocked before, but now it is and can't do anything about it.

    Maybe you need to use this form, explain that situation and also put your steam username there etc. https://www.beamng.com/pages/support/

    Not much to do.
    If you got the game on Steam, you need Steam to install/update the game.

    If you are using a school network, then it's understandable they blocked Steam.
    Although if it's a private network, I'd complain with the ISP.

    You can use a VPN. It confuse the ISP so they can't block you.

    VPN's definitely work, although if you're not careful you could get into a lot of trouble with your school (depending on how strict it is)
