Before you spend hours downloading files, you need to understand what you are dealing with.
If you own BeamNG.drive on Steam, you can download any previous version using the Steam Console.
BeamNG.drive entered Steam Early Access in 2015. Versions before 0.4 were alpha tech demos. A "v01001" would fall into the post-0.10 era — a period where the game became more playable but still lacked career mode or polished UI. Players looking for "v01001 work" might be troubleshooting a legacy copy from torrent sites or preserving an old build for nostalgia. Since the game auto-updates on Steam, manually running an older version requires depot downloads, and "work" would involve bypassing modern dependencies.
