    I exported a van from automation yesterday to test in beam to make sure the suspension and stuff was good. I open the game and this is what I got.

    Only the mod maps show up.
    I tried running it in safe mode but ended up with the same issue

    I tried reinstalling the game, but it said that it was missing download files.

    Try uninstalling BeamNG with Steam, then delete any remaining files/folders. Make sure to make a backup of your userfolder. Then try running a disk error check (right-click on the drive where you are installing the game, then click Properties -> Tools -> Error Checking), and clear Steam download cache.

    If that doesn't work, try to repair the library folder as described here.

    Is your hard disk / SSD full? Or if you use Steam on a external disk maybe it's corrupted, try to format it.

    50,000 power on hours for a hard drive is quite a lot. Have you considered upgrading to an SSD?

    Depends on HD or how much you copy files and all that. Most HD'S work atleast properly until 43800 hours or 5 years. But I agree that it is a lot.

    I'm going to talk to my Uncle about it since he is the one who usually deals with my computer. There is a lot of power on hours because I like make engine sound mods for beam with fl studio and I don't want to pay $99 for the cheapest full edition just to be able to open a project. I was also finding hex values of all the monsters in FF4HL and it would have been quicker to keep my pc on so that when I get to my computer I can just pick up where I left off without having to wait for the system boot up and steam and discord and Logitech g hub and stuff to load so that I can open the emulator and whatever else I need. Also what contributed it was that my sister got sick and I couldn't be in downstairs where I live and had to go somewhere over the weekend and couldn't shut it down.

    That probably would explain why I was having so much trouble with beamng. I have already noticed some issues when I tried to delete the contents of the beamng folder. It appears to be deleting, but all of the files remain as if they were not deleted at all. I also I have issues when trying to open stuff in that folder as well on that disk
