factoryGameSteam.exe missing on downgrade
Hi after 1 year I want to play again.
I downgraded everything and followed the instruction. But when I want to start thru SMM it tells me that FactoryGameSteam.Exe is missing. When I try to copy the .exe from the backup it updates the game before start.

Launch the game from the shortcut inside the folder from the downgraded version with -NoSteamClient added into the launch parameters, and don't try to launch through SMM.

If you're trying to launch the game without mods:
1.0 has renamed the game target, preventing SMM from being able to automatically uninstall mods for you.
1. To manually turn off 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
- Even after you do this, SMM still won't work, and you will still get the "folder that does not exist" error message! 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 have issues launching the game after this, also delete the FactoryGame/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
