Click here for a step-by-step guide on how to install the mod on Windows.
The BeamMP mod has been made as simple as it gets. Just head over to our website (BeamMP.com) and click download. This will download a zip file which contains the installer exe. Just run that exe and follow the instructions. Once this completes all you need to do is double click the shortcut on your desktop.
Now you can play by clicking "Play" and then "Multiplayer", logging in with either a guest account or a BeamMP Forum account. Then just select a server to play on! That's it! :)
If you need help at any point, see the troubleshooting section. There are instructions there on how to get support from our dedicated support team.

This section is a technical explanation of the inner workings of the project and is not relevant for most players.
The Launcher is a separate program which starts the game and connects to the Lua mod right away. The launcher then connects to a remote server of your choice, and these two communicate. The launcher then forwards some packets to the game, like car positions, rotations, chat messages, etc.
For more information on how the launcher and server operate, you can read the source code (C++) in their respective repositories:
You can see and keep track of development, planned features, etc. on the GitHub Issues section on each repository.
Additionally, you can join the Discord, where regular updates are posted!
If none of these fix your issue, we have a dedicated support team on our Discord, and our Forum
