We now have this announcement channel where you can subscribe to updates in your own servers again. Apologies that it has taken a while to get this back into place!

We can almost smell it!
Sorry we've been a bit silent - all of us have been hard at work trying to get things together.
On day one, we said "aiming for within 24 hours." On day two, we needed another "24 hours." I've reached into my bag and I can't find anymore "24 hours" to pull out without you guys thinking it's an April Fools' joke (and rightly so).
24 Hours
24 hours has been a great goal, even a few times in a row. It's felt in-reach, and it's been REALLY close a few times - I thought it was going to bite me when I reached out to pet it... that's how close we are! But the reality is, infrastructure asked me for 3-4 days when I was pushing for 24 hours.
The reality is, all of our team members have full-time jobs, family obligations, lives of our own - and most of us have been pushing off our plans with friends, explaining to our families why they haven't seen us leave our home offices, and have to remind ourselves to eat and shower as we work tirelessly to put the pieces back together. Most of us have worked our full days of work, and then been up to at least midnight (or later) in our respective time zones working to get things back in place knowing we have our day jobs (or school) waiting for us first thing in the morning again.
So here's where we're at
We're looking at our soft launch tomorrow. Let me clarify that. I am personally in the U.S., where it's still March 31st. This "tomorrow" is (hopefully) respective to it not yet being April 1st. So this means that despite all the craziness that comes with the idea, we're looking at an April 1st soft launch. This is not a drill, this is not a joke, and I wish we had time to squeeze easter eggs into it just for the hay of it but let's face it: You guys just want to play the game. I should add: we do too.
What makes this 24 hours different?
This check list. This is where we're at:
- ✅ Launcher: Ready to go, with security improvements!
- ✅ Server: Spinning up, also with security improvements!
- ✅ Mod: Ready to go! (or close enough to say it is for this post) - ....and security improvements?
-# Though these aspects were never in question, the opportunity was present for us to do a better analysis of these areas and we have made some changes. - ✅ Official Server Infrastructure: Set up!
- ✅ Backend Services: Done!
- ✅ Authentication: Ready!
What's left 
Deploy database, backend, and auth services- Final security review & deployment hardening
- Another bottle of rum
-# patreon.com/beammp if you'd like contribute to the rum supply (kidding - BeamMP doesn't buy our rum)
Wrapping Up
I can't make a post like this without a thank you. To the community: You guys have been considerably more supportive than not. You have been the driving force we've needed to keep going (being that we all do this for free - that's right: free. BeamMP staff aren't paid). Beyond just the community support, we've also seen growing support to our Patreon - which is amazing! If not for the continued and growing Patreon support you guys have been giving, we'd be struggling to pull together the resources needed to make all of this happen on all new infrastructure, and still be able meet our legal burdens.
-# Yes, this is costing money on a legal front. Just the email notification we need to send you guys informing of the data breach is potentially costing us around $1,100, just by itself.
Again, you guys have been amazing and we are genuinely grateful for the support in both your words, defense, monetary support, and mob-like desire to see some consequence in place for the attack. I personally have received hundreds of DMs over the the last few days, and I can't tell you how many of them were simply "thank you's" and "how can I help?"
You guys are awesome. We couldn't wish for a better community.

Community Supporters!
Hello everyone, some of you asked how to support BeamMP and some of you asked for a special store item to commemorate the data hack on 3/28/2026. Well. . .I've put both of those things together. For a limited time you will be able to buy our I Survived Red Man Mug: BeamMP Supporter Mug. Available on the BeamMP store. Proceeds from this product will go directly into BeamMP's security, infrastructure, and any improvements and/or changes that need to be made following this event to directly contribute to the rebuild.
If you leave us a message in Fourth Wall with your purchase I will even, personally, reply to you through the Fourth Wall platform to thank you for your support. We wouldn't have been where we were in the first place without you, our community, standing behind us and we would also not be on this road to recovery if you had not elected to remain standing behind us during and after this event.
We have seen a staggering amount of community support, more than we had ever imagined possible even at our size and, that being said, please do not buy this product if you can't or if it will put you into some kind of bind. You are doing more than enough just by being here, believe me.
All my love to you and yours.
Thank you @everyone,
-🐙🚗🚪

BeamMP Status: SOFT LAUNCH ACTIVATED 🚀
Ready to play? We are ONLINE!!
...sorta...
You can play, but....
There are a few limitations currently.
- There is no log in yet, so guest accounts only
- This means that there chatting in Official Servers may go away soon.
- You CAN, however, Direct Connect to other servers if you know the IP and port
The new link to the launcher should update to v2.8.0. There's a new installer available from the website (check out the new [mostly ready] web site!), as well - though it might be a bit wonky at the minute... updates to follow.
We know this isn't perfect, but it's the quickest way to get everyone playing again without making you wait until we have the next stage ready.
Server Owners
The only thing different for you is that you'll need to allow guests if you want to use your servers, and you'll need to provide your target players with the Direct Connect Information needed to join your servers. Also, there is a new server version.

Hey everyone, I wont ping you again but I do want to apologise on behalf of myself and the project as a whole. This whole ordeal isn't something we ever wanted to be put into and its something we are doing every effort we can to see it doesn't happen again.
Our launch right now isn't perfect, we know and we aren't chuffed about it but we wanted to ensure that the attackers didn't get the better of us and that you all didn't have to experience too much downtime.
I am so unbelievably proud of how the team have come together and the support, you, the community have shown towards and for us. Honestly thank you and I hope you like the small details we have pushed through in the mean time.
We will follow up with more updates over the course of the coming days and weeks but for now, for me, from the UK, good night. I hope you all have a great time and we will see you soon!
Thank you again for all your support, from the new members to the long running team members. Thank you! ❤️

Common Questions
Hey guys! There have been several recurring questions that we've been seeing, so I'm hoping this can help to answer some of them.
Q. Where can I get an auth key for my server as Keymaster is down?
A. At this moment in the soft-launch, we're not using auth keys. Server owners need to mark their servers as private and provide their target users with Direct Connect information (IP Address & Port) for connection. Servers at this time are not yet going onto the public list, so an auth key is not needed. You may need to populate the auth key field with something (anything), though to keep from erroring.
Q. Microsoft is saying the launcher is unsafe.
A. Yes, many users are seeing this issue. This is a side effect we are seeing from having switched to a .msi installer instead of .exe. There's a signing process that we're looking into to alleviate this, however it's undecided at this point if we'll continue with the .msi, or if we'll explore other routes. Despite the message, what we've released is safe for your systems.
Q. How long until I can log in?
A. We don't have an estimate just yet for the next stage, which will include accounts. My common "next question" (if I were asking) would be "Well, are we talking hours, days, weeks?" to which I still don't have an answer. As we can provide updates, we will - but at this time our priority has been getting everyone back into the game.
Q. Where can I get BeamMP?
A. As always, BeamMP is available to download from our website. We did redesign the website, so it looks different, but this is still the correct method for obtaining BeamMP.
We're continuing to work very hard to get this brought back to normal as quickly as possible. I can't express enough how much we appreciate you guys' support through this. You as the community have gone above and beyond and it means much more to us than we can even begin to communicate.

Fourthwall Thank Yous!
Hello eveyone! Fourthwall has fixed the Thank You functionality so those messages are going out now.
The catch?
THEY ARE VIDEO MESSAGES!
So I need to record over 100 tiny videos for you people, good lord.
Keep an eye on your emails if you made an order.
gilded robin
Well that wasn't supposed to happen...
We are aware that BeamMP is currently not working - slight hiccup while we were fixing something else. Shouldn't be too long, though!

...and... We're Back!
Sorry for the forced bathroom break. We flipped a switch and it switched the wrong flip or... something like that.
Go have fun!

BUCKLE UP!
In effort to get Keymaster back online for everyone, some work is being done to the back end... and it's not happy about it.
We may be seeing some sporadic up & down time over the next couple of hours. Thanks for your patience! We'll have it all leveled out soon!

🔑 JINGLE JINGLE
Is that the sound of... SERVER KEYS I hear?!
Yep, that's right! Keymaster is ✅ ✅ ONLINE ✅ ✅
Now, of course we had to let EA in on it first - which is why you may have noticed some new servers on the this week, but now we can all get in on it!
So what does this mean?
For existing servers:
Your existing keys have been cycled - so the ones in your server configs no longer work. You will need to log in to Keymaster and grab your new keys. You do not need to recreate them, this has already been done. They're ready for you to copy/paste into your server configs, replacing the old keys.
-# Note: If you're an EA member who has already received new keys from us over the last few days, the keys we gave you are already the new ones and you won't need to change them again.
For new servers:
Simply visit https://keymaster.beammp.com to create your server keys! You can then paste them into the appropriate section within your Server Config file (or the Startup tab in most hosting providers' consoles) and as long as your server isn't marked as Private, your servers should now show up on the Public Server List.
So what's next?
Now that Keymaster is live, we have a wide open highway to focus full-steam on what you've really been asking for: Accounts
At this time, we do not have an ETA. As we get closer to a release, we will let you guys know it's coming, but I do want to avoid another saga of "hopefully tomorrow" for the 5th "tomorrow" in a row. Ultimately, we're not releasing until we're confident in said release, but we'll certainly keep you guys updated as we have updates to provide.
Accounts is going to be a bit of a long road with a lot of work, so short of the email we're preparing to send out to all registered accounts concerning the data breach, this may be the last update you receive from us for a while. We will absolutely provide updates as we have them, but it may be a while before that happens.
As usual, you guys have been amazing and we cannot wait to get you guys signed back in. Your support (both moral and financial) through this has been our driving force we may not have made it this far without the help of you guys... and maybe the local liquor stores.
What're you waiting for? Let's fill up that server list!

☕ Coffee Cup Noises
Is that the sound of... the mug SELLING OUT I hear?!
That's right, the coffee cup we were offering on Fourthwall to support the rebuild of BeamMP has officially sold out! I'm guessing Fourthwall ran out of orange dye.
I didn't get my Thank-You Video Yet!
I KNOW! I sent out maybe 87 of them before we got an email from Fourthwall, evidently I'm supposed to be using the mobile app to send those due to a formatting and encoding limitation! So those have paused, but do not worry, you should get yours eventually.
Thank you for all of your support, we are moving and grooving on our goals right now. As always, keep an eye on this channel for the next Trebor announcement.
Cheers everyone,

We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you even more servers.
The infrastructure team have worked their magic - and as you can probably already see, the Drift Haven servers are back up and running. 🏁
But that’s not all…
We now also have our very own Ridiculous Ridge map, created by @astral cargo .
It’s heavily inspired by soapbox racing, so grab your friends, send it downhill, and try not to completely destroy your vehicle on the way down.
You may also see videos on Ridiculous Ridge coming soon from:
• Camodo Gaming
• Getgavd
• Ashmaker000
Jump in and give it a go.
