Fatal Lua error? Says C++ Exception cant figure out whats wrong

[dirkland water]

Starts up like normal, but once I load up a map in the top right it will say 'Fatal Lua Error'. Then proceeds not to let me change vehicles or any fun stuff. Does anyone know how to fix this?

it could be because of the mod it breaks the game physics

Have the same issue w/ Career Mode. Error pops up and won't load in..

Fresh install, fresh cache, no mods.

Same, career mode was working fine for a time but now it no longer works. Loading the map up causes a LUA exception and keeps it from showing POI's.

Myself and a friend have found a solution. The error I have experienced is caused by a malformed JSON file that will be called out in one of the log files in appdata/local/beamng.drive/0.32. In my case, it was the evade missions "city" and "money". Simply deleting those files from the missions folder has brought my map back up and running.
Specifically, after looking through the files, we determined the formatting of "city" was inconsistent with the other files in the "Evade" folder. Somehow the game added in an extra "1": at the beginning of each attempt block. Removing the extra data fixed the formatting, allowing the map to load and for the data to be restored.
The data is specifically found in the string, "\AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.32\settings\cloud\saves\profile\autosave\career\missions\west_coast_usa\evade". Make sure you are updating the most recent autosave.
