powershell-startup-script doesn't load the latest save (1.0)

The SF-startup-powershell script doesn't load the latest save when $loadLatestSave is $true. Here is a generated .ini snippet: SF version: 1.0.0.3

What I've tried without success: created a file named "steam_appid.txt" in the folder "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Satisfactory" . I wrote the following in the file: 526870...

it seems like something changed for steam in 1.0 - it opens the game twice, the first copy crashes, and then the second copy opens but doesn't get any launch args do you have the game on epic to try it there perchance?

Mircea•2mo ago

That has always been the case That's why the asset toolkit command has -NoSteamClient

Robb•2mo ago

-NoSteamClient is already included in the script's common args that it uses every time

remoeOP•2mo ago

no, sorry

Robb•2mo ago

I'll update my epic copy to 1.0 and try it out

There are some logs to force exit in the first start:

[  0]LogOnlineServices: Game restarting within Steam client, exiting
[  0]LogWindows: FPlatformMisc::RequestExit(0, <NoCallSiteInfo>)
[  0]LogWindows: FPlatformMisc::RequestExitWithStatus(0, 0, <NoCallSiteInfo>)
[  0]LogCore: Engine exit requested (reason: Win RequestExit)
[  0]LogOnlineIntegration: Error: Failed to initialize 'STEAM' online backend
[  0]LogOnlineIntegration: Error: Failed to initialize backend Platform

[  0]LogOnlineIntegration: Error: Failed to initialize backend Platform

It's the Steam client :/ It terminates the Satisfactory process on the first launch. When I enter these parameters directly as startup parameters in the Steam client:

-EpicPortal -NoSteamClient -NoMultiplayer -nosplash -log -windowed -WinX=0 -WinY=32 ResX=960 ResY=1040

-EpicPortal -NoSteamClient -NoMultiplayer -nosplash -log -windowed -WinX=0 -WinY=32 ResX=960 ResY=1040

Then it doesn't exit.

I don't really think there is a clean way to make this work on a shipping build steam app id is kinda hardcoded and the option does not do anything anymore either so what you should do is make the script put steam_appid.txt next to the FactoryGameSteam-Win64-Shipping.exe with the appid of satisfactory inside and that should fix the relaunch issue and also make steam login work

What I've tried without success: created a file named "steam_appid.txt" in the folder "c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Satisfactory" . I wrote the following in the file: 526870 because of https://store.steampowered.com/app/526870/Satisfactory/ Then I ran the powershell script. It still kills the first SF process. And remove of the following parameters doesn't help:

-NoSteamClient -NoMultiplayer

-NoSteamClient -NoMultiplayer

remoeOP•2mo ago

Ok, I've ran procmon and found that the steam_appid.txt need to be placed in

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Satisfactory\Engine\Binaries\Win64"

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Satisfactory\Engine\Binaries\Win64"

Folder. Now it's possible to load any saved game and it breaks on breakpoints! 🥳 does it work on your side?

Robb•2mo ago

haven't gotten to test it yet sorry, will do that now

Robb•2mo ago

worked on epic EA, here is the exact (WIP) script I used

Robb•2mo ago

message.txt

Robb•2mo ago

PS C:\Git\SF_ModProject\RobWorkingDir> .\SFLaunch_Advanced.ps1 -branch EA -launcher epic

Then we can mark this as resolved?
