Troubleshooting

If it can't find the game, run it in Steam one time, then go back to lutris and try to launch BeamMP

Alright so @Razuuu i have some information. I updated and upgraded my system and now im getting a new error. And the old issue is also repeating... I tried reinstalling beamng and beammp but no results. Lutris's log window didnt show any errors. I also expirience the following error from the BeamMP launcher:

After further testing vulkan has no effect, ive given it 64gb of swap ontop of my 16 gb of ram and it still gives me the 80% of memory used warning. I have no idea where this issue stems from but it is consistent.

You can fix the zlib decompression error by using the native BeamMP linux launcher. https://docs.beammp.com/game/getting-started/#2b-linux-installation
