## BeamNG.drive

When you start BeamNG via BeamMP's own launcher, the multiplayer function will be added. If you try to launch BeamNG via its own launcher, BeamMP will not work, as a message will say: "The game is not connected to the launcher! Please start the game using the BeamMP Launcher." You will need to type in your username/email and password, to get access to everything BeamMP. You may also join as a guest, but some features such as the chat feature, may not be available. Server sizes, maps, and mods may vary depending on the settings chosen by the creator. You can join servers, even official servers created by BeamMP staff. Depending on the settings chosen, you may spawn on a map listed on "Map" on the server list, and spawn on a random spawnpoint on that map, without a car. Once you are finished playing with BeamMP, you can quit to the main menu, or close the launcher (the launcher needs to be open at all times to keep BeamMP working, as it is not only the launcher, it is also one-third of its own code into its servers, into the mod downloaded into BeamNG's mods manager, and into BeamNG itself) to disconnect you from the server, but it doesn't kick you out to the main menu, as you remain on the map with the other players' cars still there not moving.

## Servers

Every time you join a server, mods will be disabled, to avoid sudden crashes and lag. Despite this, you can still re-enable them, but they won't be visible or known to other players, such as automation cars. They appear in server to the player, but not to anyone else in the server, as to them the player is just a black sphere. The reason why this occurs is either they don't have the mod or there was a problem loading the car.

You can favorite servers by pinpointing it in your "Favorites" tab. You can also directly connect to a server by typing in the correct IP address and "Port" number. There are also tabs labeled "Wiki" "Forum" "Discord" and "Patreon", but they have no function yet. You can also search for servers, filter servers by player size, map, or mod size.

BeamMP doesn't do much else, but it is a great way to add multiplayer to BeamNG.drive, as BeamMP also has a Discord server, a forum, a Patreon, and a Wiki, despite each not being linked to open in BeamMP.

Keep in mind that due to hardware limitations, BeamMP may lag or crash when joining a server or when a player changes vehicles/props, which can get annoying after months of use, especially when you're in a full server. The only way to avoid this is to join a server that's not as full or increase your RAM in your PC (if possible).
