    Hello everyone, I bring a remake of something I made a while ago, an alternative launcher for beamng.drive
    upload_2024-9-12_19-10-46.png
    It has custom features, and features you know about. I will explain below:




    Some do the usual. Start game loads beamng.drive
    Mods opens the mods folder
    Screenshots will show the 11 most recent screenshots, and a button to view the screenshots folder

    upload_2024-9-12_19-11-3.png
    The Debug game will have a clear cache button, aswell as a link to the support website.
    The Car Config installer will help you to install custom .PC configurations.

    upload_2024-9-12_19-11-20.png
    You start of by selecting the .PC file of choise
    Next you choose the car it is for (if supported)
    Finally press Add to BeamNG where it will make the neccissary folder and add the .PC configuration

    There is a new Modules button that will give access to all the new features. this allows the UI to look clean, while also having more and more features for you to use.
    upload_2024-9-12_19-14-12.png

    Planned Features:
    • Options for background image changing
    • Options for button colour changing
    • Options for Beamng version (0.X) (done in 1.1.0) [removed for legal reasons]
    • Safe mode Launching
    • Vulkan Launching (done in 1.1.0)
    • BeamMP support??? (idk I probably need permission)
    • .pc automatic checker

    notice: if new cars are added then I will do my best to add them. this will be opensource when released.

    Github link:
    https://github.com/BeamNG-Launcher-Revitalised/Source-Code

    Install Guide:
    1. Download the .zip file below
    2. Extract the contents into a folder
    3. Run the EXE in that folder.
    4. If you want quick access, pin to start or Taskbar. Running without the .dll files will result in nothing working.
    ONLY DOWNLOAD FROM HERE OR https://beamng-launcher-revitalised.github.io/ ! IF ANYONE ELSE IS CLAIMING TO OWN THIS, IT IS LIKELY A VIRUS OR OTHER FORMS OF MALWARE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DOWNLOAD FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.


    If you do Download from somewhere else, Delete it, Run a malware scan and report the file

    Windows May flag this as suspicious, but it is not. All the code is available to view and check yourself for suspicious code. Some AVs will also prevent the "clear cache" from working too.

    That will be a false positive flag. I have included the code if you want to check yourself. but I can promise it has nothing suspicious.

    if you wouldnt mind sharing, how does your application force either API onto the game? does it just open the older launcher in backgroud and press the right button or does it actually command dto open the .x64 executable in a certain state with certain flags

    hello, The launcher needs to have the .DLL files and other features I placed in the .zip folder. You can add a shortcut to your desktop to make it work rather than the actual file.

    Just tried it. Nice proof of concept, although the custom UI is really unpolished RN (Something to expect from a WIP mod). There's just a MASSIVE issue. DId you hard-code the default Beamng DATA path into the source of this? Because it's basically useless for me now since my Beamng DATA folder isn't in it's default location.
