Are you having trouble loading the maps into BeamNG drive? If the answer is yes, we have quick solutions for this problem.

BeamNG drive is a driving simulation game on Steam featuring realistic and accurate physics for cars. Players can enjoy a variety of vehicles, which can be customized or chosen from pre-made options. The game’s ultimate goal is to provide a realistic simulation of car crashes. Although BeamNG drive is trendy, it is still in the early access phase, even though it has been developed since 2013. However, if you have problems loading maps, look for a solution in this article.

Why can’t I load maps in BeamNG drive?

There are different reasons why the BeamNG drive may not load maps:

• Outdated game or GPU driver.
• Corrupt or missing game files on your PC.
• Problematic mod(s).

How can I fix it if the BeamNG drive can’t load maps?

Before anything complicated, do these prechecks:

• Restart your game launcher or your PC to eliminate any temporary glitches.
• Update the game.
• Temporarily turn off security software.

If prechecks fail to fix the issue, try the following tips:

1. Move the game Userfolder
2. Update GPU driver
3. Remove BeamMP
4. Delete cache files

1. Move the game Userfolder

3. Remove BeamMP

If you mainly play BeamNP, try removing the multiplayer component (BeamMP), which may be causing the problem. Follow next steps:

1. First, delete all BeamMP files.

2. Launch BeamNG Launcher and click on Manage User Folder.

3. Select Open in Explorer.

4. Locate the mods folder and open it.

5. Delete the multiplayer folder located in your mods folder.

6. Reboot your PC and launch BeamNG drive to check if the map issue is gone.

4. Delete cache files

Clear the game cache if the BeamNG drive can’t load maps. Clearing the game’s cache can resolve issues with broken textures and official levels not loading correctly and free up space by removing old and unused files. Here is how to do it:

1. Open the BeamNG drive Launcher and select Support Tools.

2. Choose the Clear cache option.

3. Choose the first option – Standard cache clearing. If that doesn’t help to fix the issue, try Deep cache cleaning.

4. Confirm the action.

5. Wait for the cache cleaning to finish. This process may take a few minutes, depending on the size of your game folder.

5. After the process, restart BeamNG and see if the map issue is resolved. If not, you can try Deep cache cleaning.
