"Fixing" Beams new update - New info (Patreon)

READ READ READ!!!!
There's a new Beam update! Exciting! However there's some things you need to do/know before you play!!! - they didn't "ruin" anything, this is just a part of modding


NEW INFO: Going to Support Tools > Clear Cache > Deep Cache Cleaning apparently does the next section for you.

"Fixing" the game: Beam moved its default user folder location to resolve a bug with Cloud storage . This is where you normally put your mods at documents/beamng,drive. The new location is Users/yourname/AppData/Local/BeamNG,drive/0.22.0,1. There are 2 fixes. You can either go in game and change your user folder back to where it was, or you can drag your stuff to the new location. I dragged my mods folder, settings folder, vehicles folder, levels folder, temp folder to the new location. It should look something like the picture attached if you do this.

If you can't find the new user folder, you can go ingame > Repository > mods manager > open mod folder. It will bring you to the new mod folder

Fairgrounds: Fairgrounds is bugged on this update. I know everyone has been waiting for an update for fairgrounds, rest assured I've been testing out an awesome new update for it. Hopefully a fix can be released soon. BUT! If you want fairgrounds to still work, and haven't updated beam yet, DON'T LET BEAM UPDATE. You can launch the game through it's .exe file (this bypasses launching through steam, it's how I launch my game almost all the time). You can do this by going to
harddrive/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/BeamNG,drive/Bin64 > double click BeamNG,drive,x64,exe (pin this to your task bar and you can just launch from there)

If you've already updated, you'll have to wait for a fix. Unfortunately, this is what happens when beam updates their AI coding, and isn't really avoidable.
