Hey everyone,
We’re having a really weird issue with BeamMP multiplayer and couldn’t find a proper fix.
Problem:
When we join a server (even public ones),
One of us sees the other as a pink sphere instead of a car
We can’t see each other moving at all (no sync)
Important details:
One of us owns the game on Steam
The other launches BeamMP, but Steam does not open
So it seems like it’s running in some kind of guest / non-Steam mode
We may have been effectively using the same game/account
What we already tried:
Restarting the game and server
Testing on public servers (same issue)
Making sure mods are installed / matching
Disabling mods
Cache clearing (BeamNG launcher)
Still happens:
Pink placeholder instead of vehicle
No movement sync between players
Question:
Could this be caused by:
Not running through Steam properly?
Using the same account / no proper authentication?
Or is it more likely a network/firewall issue?
Any help or ideas would be appreciated 🙏
