    Hello,

    yesterday Steam auto-downloaded the update, so far so good. Then, i played it for around 5 mins yesterday and closed the game. When i went to start it today, Steam said " While updating BeamNG, an error occured, broken Data (And it says, said broken data is Beamng.exe)

    I tried cleaning the download cache and am now reinstalling the game
    --- Post updated ---
    Now i downloaded it, and it said "couldnt start, because of locked file (again, beamng.exe)"

    Did you try the steps to do a clean reinstall in the wiki? If you did and it still didn't work then @Nadeox1 can try to help you.

    That's a Steam error usually.
    Try to reboot your PC, as it solves that most of the time.

    If persists, please contact the Steam support

    Did a clean reinstall, still nothing works. Then i googled for the general problem and found help in a left 4 dead forum, had to do a "winsock reset"

    I still advice to contact the Steam Support, as this is a common issue for them.
