We need more information to help you. Before launching the game again, open the Mod Manager and use the "Generate debug info" option, then send the zip file produced in this channel.

(Known issue
TargetRename1.0 / smmsteam1.0 / Temp1.0PluginFailedToLoad) 1.0 has renamed the game target, preventing SMM from being able to automatically uninstall mods.
1. To remove mods, delete the FactoryGame/Mods folder from your game install directory manually. Here's how to find the game install directory: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#Files_GameInstall
- SMM still won't work! You have to launch the game from Epic/Steam for now. Close SMM and don't use it again until we announce that mods are updated.
- If you are still having issues, also delete the Plugins folder then verify your game files to restore it: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/faq.html#_how_do_i_verify_my_game_files
- If you're still having issues, make sure to post text or a screenshot of the next type of error you get!

It appears your crash was generated from a copy of the game that does not have mods installed. We likely can't help with it. Please use the Unreal dialog to report the error the game developers and/or report it on the official discord

There are a few things to try if your RHI is causing crashes.
1) Try switching your RHI. If you're using DX11 or DX12, switch to the other. If you're using Vulkan, try DX12 before DX11
2) Try verifying your game files.
3) Update/reinstall your graphics drivers
4) Try disabling hierarchal Z-buffer occlusion in the game's graphics settings.
5) Try tuning your graphics card's clock down, especially if has been overclocked (by you or the vendor)
For more info, run one of the following bot commands by sending it as a chat message:
