    I just updated to BeamNG 0.26.2 and lately it's been hitting me with this error "0x000006- User path is not writable"

    I've done everything I thought of:

    -Re-installing a clean installation
    -Switching drives
    -Troubleshooting many times
    -Adding it on exclusions in Windows Security

    Nothing works!!

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    Try launching the game as administrator, but selecting 'manage user folder' in the launch menu, and then 'change user folder location' and select whatever folder you can normally save stuff in. Or if it doesn't let you do even that, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive and edit the file called startup.ini in notepad, where it says UserPath = paste a path to a folder where you can save data, save the file and try launching as administrator then.

    Thanks for the reply, But what do you mean "paste a path to a folder where you can save date"

    Like do you mean where like in the desktop? sorry, I'm not that good in English.
    Do I need to create a folder for it?

    I'm quite new to BeamNG and it's not really clear.

    Can be in desktop or another place where you normally save things
