    Sometimes the game can launch in the background and can only be visible in the Task Manager. If you experience this issue, please follow these steps:

    1. Please follow these instructions and make sure that your antivirus or similar software is not blocking the game by mistake.
    2. Navigate to Steam → Library, then Right click on BeamNG.drive → Properties → Local Files, and select "Verify Integrity of Game Files"
    3. Create a new folder in a folder which doesn't require special permissions (for example: C:\BeamNG.drive)
    4. Navigate to Steam → Library, then Right click on BeamNG.drive → Manage, and select Browse Local Files
    5. Find startup.ini and open it with notepad or your preferred text editor.
    6. Find UserPath =

      And add the path to the new folder (from step 3).
      Example: UserPath = C:\BeamNG.drive
    7. Save your changes
    If the issue persists, please submit a support ticket, and make sure to include your support ID.
