Client failed to create directories

[SiC_IGCT]

[FATAL] create_directories: unknown error: “C:\Users\ ?\AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.31\mods/multiplayer”

hi there. beammp was unable to create a \multiplayer folder because the path to it doesnt exist. after c:\users\ should follow your local account user/home path. unless by accident please never do anything to your users folder, it’s pretty easy to completely brick your computer.

"Failed to find the game" or "[FATAL] create_directories: Access is denied" in launcher or beamMP mod not showing up in game

Issue After installing beamMP and starting the launcher, it errors out with: [image] Launching the game like the error explains does not fix the issue. Solution Something led to the beamNG userfolder to no longer be in the standard location. You can fix this by specifying a new location: Use the file explorer to go to your preferred location for the new userfolder. For example: [image] Then start beamNG and in the white window choose “Support Tools” and then “Choose new location” [ima…

I did nothing to the users folder and the game is in default path, so im very confused about this…

[SiC_IGCT]

The client somehow wants to create a folder with / instead of \

[Linda420]

maybe create the folder manually?

[SiC_IGCT]

i tried but it didnt work

[Linda420]

what is your windows username after c:\users\ because unicode characters are shown as ??? marks, so certain programs cant work correctly. if you have them, i think the only way is to create a new local account, you can google how

[SiC_IGCT]

i changed my user name into simple letters using administrator account ,and it continues showing me the same message

[Linda420]

and you reinstalled beammp on that user? because it could store old data somewhere, hopefully NOT in the registry though…

[SiC_IGCT]

have reinstalled multiple times, including other paths

[Linda420]

so forbidden file and folder names are: < > : " / \ | ? * and you have a question mark because windows did an oopsie yay, it is an incredibly flawed system (so is beammp network code but that’s besides the point).

anyway, we’re gonna visit the registry. open “run” with win+r, type regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders as well as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders and BACKUP (!!!) your registry first in case i just spread misinformation online, then change AppData key path entry (which where BeamMP is installed) with %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming AND Local AppData key with %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local

you will eventually have to repeat the process for every other entry, since you have been using a username that is incompatible in windows file paths.

OR you could manually type in your new username in the path. example: AppData would be C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming and just to reassure you: we’re helping the system see real paths that it otherwise doesnt. microsoft havent figured out how to code in 50 years.

ALTERNATIVELY (easier) you can just create a new local account with only latin symbols, copy stuff from one user folder to another, there you go

[Bug] beammp launcher is trying to write to my old user filename

"[FATAL] Cannot get Local Appdata directory!"

edit: sorry fixed a typo, silly me. it’s run not cmd
edit2: i hope i didnt just kill someone else’s pc with another typo

client can launch the game now, but without multiplayer stuff XD
it created a multiplayer folder in the mod folder, but thats all it did
and this error occurs : [ERROR] HTTP Get failed on SSLConnection
i installed SSL certificate manually but nothing happend

edit: problem solved!! thank you so much for finding solution to this weird problem
