Client

How do I install BeamMP?

There is a full guide on how to install BeamMP on Windows, you can find it here.

Does BeamMP works on a cracked version of BeamNG.drive?

BeamMP does not work with cracked versions of BeamNG.drive nor that it does on outdated versions. If you want to use BeamMP please consider buying the game.

Does BeamMP work on Linux?

BeamMP client is not officially supported on Linux. However, you might be able to get it working by running the launcher in the same proton prefix as the game.

Why is the launcher flagged by my antivirus or by Windows Defender?

In order to prevent Windows Defender from flagging a specific .exe, we need to buy a license which is very expensive, therefor, BeamMP might get flagged by Windows Defender.
Some antivirus may flag BeamMP as a virus because it does some interactions with network and other stuff. There are no viruses in any of the code. The code for the launcher, server, and Lua client can be seen on our Github.

I have poor performance, what should I do?

We are working hard to make performance as good as possible. Sadly, there isn't a lot you can do about it, if you have already lowered your graphic settings and your performance is still poor, consider playing on a server with less players. The game is mainly CPU bound when you play with lots of people, so older CPUs (even quadcores) will suffer with more than a handful of people.

Server

How can I setup my own server?

All the information to set up your own server can be found on this page of our wiki.

Is the server working on Linux?

We provide binaries for many Linux distributions here. If there are no binaries for your distribution, you can build it yourself by downloading the source on our GitHub, a tutorial can be found here.

What are the minimum system requirements to run a BeamMP server?

Players outside my network can not join my self-hosted server

If other players, trying to connect to your server, receive an error code 10060, 10061 or 10038 in their BeamMP launcher, then you should check the following steps:
- Forward port 30814 (or whichever port you set in your ServerConfig.toml), both TCP and UDP protocols.
- Allow BeamMP through the Windows Firewall, allow both incoming and outgoing connections. Turning off the firewall will usually NOT work.
- Make sure you're not using a VPN (this can cause issues).
- Make sure the server is actually running, without any errors or warnings.
You can check if you have successfully portforwarded using the site 'portchecker.co' whilst the server is running.
Please note, some internet providers do not offer dedicated IPv4 addresses to your connection, so port forwarding may not be possible, despite it being available in the router.
Port forwarding is not possible if you are using a mobile (4G/5G) internet connection.

I can see my self-hosted server in the server-list, but i can not join it myself

If the server is running on the same machine as the game, you yourself have to use Direct Connect to join, with the IP 127.0.0.1 and your server's port.
For you to be able to join your own, self-hosted server trough the server-list, your router needs to support NAT-loopback, but this is a function not many home routers support.

Where can I find the code?

I have found a bug, an exploit or anything so, what should I do?

If the issue is code related and you know how to use Github, create a new "Issue" in the appropriate repository on our GitHub. We use an issue-based workflow so even if you already have a fix for the bug, consider opening a new "Issue", then asking a "Pull Request" that solves your "Issue". More info on contributing can be found here.
If you don't have a GitHub account or you don't know how to use GitHub you can get in touch with us in the following ways:
- If it is not something sensitive, you can create a post on our forum or you can report this on our Discord.
- If the information is sensitive you can directly report the issue to a staff member on our Discord.
