Skip 'FactoryGameEGS.exe' validation
Is there an option somewhere to skip validating the FactoryGameEGS.exe when trying to add a new server to the manage server option. My server host does not provide access to the .exe files so the mod manager is not able to see the file.

What error message are you getting? Since it's a server, do FactoryServer.exe or FactoryServer.sh show up in FTP?
Error message:
failed to add installation: failed to validate installation: did not find game executable
The .exe cannot be viewed from FTP as the host does not allow user access to the .exe files. Is there an option to not validate the .exe if we already know the path is correct.
There isn't at the moment
But if it doesn't let you see .exe files, will it let you upload .dll or .so files? (idk if the server is running linux or windows)
Yes, .dll files can be uploaded.
And can you view the dlls in
Engine\Binaries\Win64 for example?Yes
Weird choice for that host to hide exe files but not dlls
I will look into that, but it won't be the next SMM update (doing just crash fixes in this one)
Alrighty, Thanks. I think ill have to do manual install for now, install on a local dedicated server and then FTP the mod files
could you manualy upload the server EXE from your computer?
.exe are blocked
And I'm guessing you used the advanced mode, because the simple mode wouldn't find the folder as valid either, right?
I tried both modes
