BeamNG Mod Manager 🧡 0.8.33: Less annoying when Patreon does a token "Refresh".

Released August 13, 2026

This one's for anyone who pays to support BMM, because it fixes something that really only annoys Paid users.

If BMM can no longer verify your Patreon connection - it no longer strips your premium features and throws the "choose Loadouts to keep" screen at you. Your benefits now keep working for up to 14 days while a "Reconnect Patreon" pill in the top bar and a note in the Membership window ask you to re-link, with the exact date your premium would pause if you don't. One click reconnects you, and a real change in your membership is still detected honestly — this isn't a loophole, just BMM no longer punishing you for its own connection trouble.

The "choose Loadouts to keep" screen itself got friendlier too, for the moments it does still show up - it now has a Reconnect Patreon button right there, which unlocks everything again instantly, and you can close it with Esc or the X to decide later; nothing's locked until you actually choose, and it simply asks again next launch. It also no longer flashes up during launch in the brief moment before BMM has finished re-checking your membership.

The Membership window tells the truth in every state now - if your saved connection has actually died, it says so and offers Reconnect instead of a "Re-check" that could only fail again, and a Disconnect option is always right there if you want it.

For anyone curious how this works without just quietly giving everyone premium forever: the fix distinguishes "your saved sign-in token no longer works" (an authentication problem, often caused by a lost token rotation on BMM's/Patreon's side) from "your membership actually ended" (a real answer from Patreon) — only the second one changes your tier. Nothing here weakens the checks: a lapsed membership still downgrades exactly as before, and the preserved access is strictly bounded by that same 14-day window. This also keeps the supporter wall updated more durably.

Updating: on 0.8.8 or newer, just hit Settings → Check for updates (or the update pill in the top bar). Or:
