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.

There are two SMM (Satisfactory Mod Manager) major versions currently available: SMM 2 and SMM 3. As of writing, SMM 3 is still beta (pre-release), so https://smm.ficsit.app will download SMM 2 (the latest release). You can download pre-release versions of SMM 3 from GitHub: https://github.com/satisfactorymodding/SatisfactoryModManager/releases. To manage mods on dedicated servers you need SMM 3. Refer to https://discord.com/channels/555424930502541343/555785224873574410/1112797828700455085 for instructions. Note: Do not confuse SMM (Satisfactory Mod Manager) with SML (Satisfactory Mod Loader). Please refer to the >smmsml command for more information. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/834348739539238922/1219058511984464024/SMM2-vs-SMM3.png?ex=6609ebb6&is=65f776b6&hm=4a38ad89ed56bd213e50ba78be7783508d18010d5953f010a7cf733f78029992
