Problem with SMM 3.0.0 to find the installed game.

SMM tells me that it cannot find the game installation. EGS, no longer under %/SatisfactoryEarlyAccess, but directly under %/Satisfactory. Reinstalled game, reinstalled SMM, restarted computer. Problem persists.

Solution:

Deleted the lose profiles, restart SMM and install works. Thanks

Interestingly, SMM launches the game correctly.

What are the contents of c:\Games\Satisfactory? Launching the game is unrelated to the install dir, it just launches it with the steam/epic URI, like desktop shortcuts do

The directory, clean new install via EGS

Oh, wait

"install":"c:\\Games\\Satisfactory","profile":"Modded","error":"failed to get platform: failed to validate installation: did not find game executable in C:\\Games\\SatisfactoryEarlyAccess"

Why would that happen Does SMM still list some unknown installs in the installs dropdown?

GauronOP•3mo ago

Unbekannt = unknown

Mircea•3mo ago

Hmm, yeah, I think those installs are linked to the same profile, so they are applied at once Maybe they show up in the server manager so you can force remove them?
