    Since the game opens and then closes immediately, use this Windows-focused checklist:

    1. Check for software conflicts
      • Open Task Manager with Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
      • Look for background apps that can interfere with games, such as overlays or tuning tools.
      • Disable overlays from apps like Steam, Discord, or graphics utilities, then test the game again.
    2. Verify the game files
      • In the game launcher, open the game’s settings.
      • Run Verify Files or Repair Installation if that option exists.
      • This checks for missing or corrupted game files.
    3. Check Event Viewer
      • Open Event Viewer.
      • Go to Windows Logs > Application.
      • Look for an error at the time the game closes.
      • This can show whether a dependency or file is failing.
    4. Test with a clean boot
      • Press Win + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
      • On the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services.
      • Select Disable all.
      • Restart Windows and try the game.
      • This helps identify whether another startup service is causing the game to close.
    5. Try compatibility settings
      • Right-click the game’s .exe file and select Properties.
      • Open the Compatibility tab.
      • Turn on Run this program in compatibility mode for and try Windows 10.
      • Also turn on Run this program as an administrator.
    6. Check required components
      • Some games need the correct DirectX and Visual C++ Redistributables installed.
      • If those components are missing or damaged, games can start and then close.
    7. Try another Windows user profile
      • Create a new Windows user account and test the game there.
      • A damaged user profile can cause launch failures.

    If other games also open and close right away, focus first on clean boot, Event Viewer, and disabling overlays. If only this one game fails, the problem is more likely with the game files or the game itself.

    I am sad for you. Does reinstalling the game fix the problem?

    If not, here is BeamNG's own community forum

    Hello David Bonnell,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    May I know if the AI assistant suggestion works for you? If it did, may I know how it goes?

    Before we proceed, may I know if there are any other games that have the same issue? Additionally, can you please check if there are any logs in the Event Viewer > Application regarding the crash?

    I'm waiting for your reply.
