    Updated my AMD drivers to 17.5.1 today and basically I get the "your pc does not meet requirements" message everytime I try to start BeamNG now. Any way to fix this (without reverting to old versions)? It worked perfectly fine before the update. I've been a dedicated fan of BeamNG for 3 years now and I'm kind of upset about this now.

    I won't uninstall Steam since I'd have to reinstall all games then. My monitor is connected via 1 VGA cable to my PC. I will try having BeamNG reinstalled, maybe that works.

    Uninstalling Steam won't uninstall your games.
    They will still be on your PC, and Steam should detect them still.
    And if they do not appear installed, as soon you install them again, Steam will find the old files and not download anything.

    Also, still try an older video driver.

    Hi there, just posting to say that I have the same issue since updating my AMD graphics drivers. :/ Not having luck getting the game to run at all.

    Hi, I can open the launcher just fine. Just ran the support thingamy, support ID is 16165.
    Will try a clean reinstall.

    Clean reinstall gives the same issue - it thinks my graphics card can only support DX9?

    Your Graphic Card supports up to DirectX11.
    Although you are receiving this error: It is possible that your hardware/OS does not meet the minimum requirements.

    Lately I've seen that mainly/only from AMD user.
    I believe one of the latest driver is not working properly or something.

    I advice to try an older (not too old) video driver and see if the problem persists.

    I know that my system does exceed the requirements - I have been running this program on maximum settings and getting 60fps, until I updated my graphics driver.
    The problem is that with the latest AMD drivers, it no longer works. Legacy drivers for Windows 7 are not obviously available on AMD's website (only Vista and XP), so this does not seem like a viable option either without going to a third party.

    I have just tried reinstalling with both the "Optional" (beta?) drivers and the standard drivers, no luck getting Beam to run.

    So I got it to work - I had to clean uninstall my up to date drivers, restart, install the drivers from February (relive 17.2.1) and then restart again, then clear BeamNG's cache.
    Phew.
    I don't know what's going on but there's something wrong somewhere.
