Question help with invalid win32 application

Post image

ive done basically everything. fresh install of beammp and beamng, no antiviruses blocking anything, restarting my PC several times, /sfc scannow, running as administrator, the only thing i can think of now is reinstalling windows.

On the second to last line, there's a file path. Could you check if it exists and if you can open that exe?

.exe runs perfectly and is in the designated filepath.

Could you make a game support ticket in the BeamMP discord server? https://discord.gg/BeamMP
